Painted MyEcig

Good one
I was thinking about setting up a body shop for re-spraying E. cigarettes. Just waiting for the compressor and airgun to arrive.

Dammit Janet, those are absolutely fantastic!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I feel like I did in school when I got an A+ on something. A thought about the light-up end of the e-cig: Since it burns red, you could try painting it blue to make purple. Maybe those paints to make faux stained glass would work. Although I think it could peel off in time. Anyway, these are transluscent. Then again, a more opaque paint may work better. Maybe regular acrylic either just by itself, or mixed with some acrylic clear medium.

You're speaking art/craft language now and I don't understand, but great paint-job!

Emp posted the perfect motto for the e-cig body shop: "Pimp my ...".

Pretty soon, we'd have a cable channel doing a reality series on a dysfunctional family of e-cig artists: Orange County ... Pimpers.

Hey, remember what evolved from the humble silver Zippo cigarette lighter.

Oh WOW! Love the top one - I've got a dress in exactly the same colours and design

Both look fabulous. You could start a trend here

Love the one with the kitten on, No.7

Devilfish. Do you have a link for that site please? I had a look on Freesmoke eu but couldn't find the pic.

 

[BigBuxNoWhammy]

Hi Lady P

I think you can also send in a picture you want on your e-device, and have that done there for you (costs, of course...). I know someone having a device with a picture of her own dog for instance.

 

[Lady Python]

There are two designs I really like there. Expensive though. Works out at £102+ for one cigar.

Dumb question but what's the difference (apart from looks) between an e-cig and an e-cigar?

 

[TropicalBob]

Different batteries and bigger carts, so the experience lasts longer before you have to futz with the thing. And I find they just feel better in my hand ... I do not have a tendency to fumble or drop one. Very fond of the e-cigar in principal (mine is a wimp with vapor, however).

 

[Lady Python]

Hmm. Might have to put one on my wish list. Just love the kitten one (and the one next to it with the night scene)

At least it will solve birthday and Christmas presents this year. Everyone knows what to give me now

I have decided that painting though fun, is not worth the time. I've concluded that atomizers are disposable. I still wanted to decorate them though a bit and also for the purpose of telling the new ones apart from the old ones.

I went to Sally Beauty Supply and bought some acrylic nail decorations. These are tiny decals and rhinestones. After I stick them on the e-cig, I coat the decal and go slightly beyond the edge of the decal with a special topcoat called "For Rhinestones Only". This will make the decal or rhinestone permanent and only takes less than a minute to do this (far less time than my paint job). I tried to add a photo to this post, but was not successful. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Anyway, if you want to dress up your e-cigs a bit, this is a good and easy way.

These do look awesome - though a little fem, in my opinion. But hay your a gal and that's ok. I read you other post about the rhinstones and think that simple little decals with the same top coat might work as well. I found some pinewood derby flame decals that might look cool.

Hey Dammit Janet!

I was just talking to my best friend about your painted ecigs a couple of days ago because we're still lamenting about not having pink e-cigs. But this new idea of yours is pretty cool too. I sent her the link to this thread so maybe she'll read it today and we can try some pink ribbon decals on ours with the topcoat and see how that works. But I did want her to see your painted ones.

Just found this thread, your cigs look great Janet. Did you post pictures of the ones you did with the decals? Would love to see those.
