<raises hand> I know why!

That link was created by someone who had watched the video up to a certain point before creating the link... so, there's a code embedded in the link so that it always jumps to the video at that same point (if you're really interested, the code is "#at=1092").

Just delete that bit from the end of the URL, and the video started at the beginning like one would expect.

Here's a "corrected" link that'll fix that for ya.

Smokeless Image Volt Review - The Chainsaw Test? - YouTube

Those are absolutely gorgeous and I am terribly jealous. I am going to have to learn how to do that wrap thing... those are to die for.
OK, you are going to have to make a video of how that is done.

Oh, THANKS! Truthfully, one of the reasons that I've been covering my batts is because they're so derned old and beat to smithereens ... but, they still work. And no, I'm afraid I'll never make a video. I spazz quite a bit from MS, and I'd end up flippin' a batt across the room or cutting off a finger. On video - not so good.

Still don't know how well the shelf paper will hold up in the long haul, but so far, it's not showing any bad signs. If any problems happen, it'll show up on that gold batt in the picture that I just did today. It's a good bet that automotive vinyl wrap should hold up quite well though. The vinyl wrap is from Metro Decals | Products > Wood Grain Vinyl > Burl Wood Vinyl > 15in Wide Burl Wood Vinyl
It's only $4.29 for a 12 x 15" sheet and it's self-adhesive.

For a manual battery, first remove the battery button. Before you put the vinyl on, clean the batt with a dab of detergent on a wet paper towel (NOT alcohol - which can destroy the adhesive), wipe it off with a wet paper towel with no detergent, then dry off thoroughly.

Measure your battery and add an 1/8" or so for each of the ends and 1/8" for overlap width-wise. Take off the adhesive backing and lay the vinyl on a hard, clean surface sticky side up. Hold the battery above the vinyl with the button hole facing downward. (That way, the button won't end up on a seam). When it looks like it's in the right position, lower it onto the vinyl and roll up one side of the vinyl and then the other on the hard surface. You should have some excess protruding on each end of the battery. Use an Exacto knife or sharp box-cutter to trim the excess off of the ends. Make sure that none of the air-flow holes are covered, including those at the ash cap end. Locate the button hole, and use the Exacto knife tip to carve out the hole opening and reinsert the button. Probably takes me less than 15 minutes.

As soon as I get my mail tomorrow, I will be able to convert two chrome Volt batts into brushed gold batts.

NOTE: That's another thing, you wouldn't want to cover one of the rubberized batts with vinyl. It could end up being too big to fit PCC's or chargers. I always cover the chrome, stainless or painted batteries.

Buttplug? nasty drip?? .....cindycated
ahhh man....this is the greatest thread ever sorry, I couldn't help it

Only here...and I bet you guys actually understood what I was talking about, huh?

 

[rave]

I didn't mean two flavors, I meant 2 batteries. Thought you were using the 510 cuz they were lasting longer or something. I'll just go sit over here in the corner now

Well, it would be sensible to just use two batteries, but I'd constantly be changing cartos for those eight or nine or ten flavors. I'm far too lazy for that! Instead, I use the eight or nine or ten batteries each with a different flavor. Besides, I can make a rainbow!! LOL

But-but-but...how do you remove the manual button? That might be where I say, "nah, forget it..."

Poor, poor Meddog. You lost me when you said I had to measure the battery. It's about this long:

But-but-but...how do you remove the manual button? That might be where I say, "nah, forget it..."

Oh! That's easy. I use a "pokey thang". LOL - I have a hard metal pick that I push against the button, and it pulls right out. It does actually impale the button, but it seems to be okay.

Poor, poor meddog is technically, technical-ly challenged. I can oom in meditation but not the kind of oom that involves math.
Poor, poor meddog is also broke and can't afford to buy one... those things are pretty 'spensive. When the hurricane hits, I'm just gonna pack my bags and go stay with keelagirl55!
