Hi all!

Not sure if theres also skins for the vamo, so heres my own, red color as the fiance loves:

this is with simple red carbon vinyl skin, from ebay or some place. This vinyl is very sticky and still flexible. Pretty easy to work with a scalpel.

Candylicious handy-man happy-grabbin super comfy grips - not work-safe.

20130305_192942.jpg20130305_192816.jpg20130305_192156.jpg

all grips are 22m diameter (7/8"). the red skulls are from bricklanebikes and the blue/yellow is Lizard Skins 'Aaron Chase'. It's among the thinnest ones, stretched over the VAMO its around 28mm (29 acc. to LS)

they will suit the right living room table, just about right, for the right person :blush:

chopchop it real good and in smaller parts its easy to slip on the 'protection'

lotsa possibilities for patterns. the grips stay very well stuck to the vamo, only the outer edges (top and bottom) could use some double sided tape , the bottom cut to wind off along with the battery cap.

i sharpened a carto a bit and hammered it thru the bike grip and got a decent hole for the firing button that way

Whoa, gets even funnier when I can't control maself with dull exacto knife. So like an evil Doc I sliced the life out of them cheap babybike grips.

the funny hats weight in about 18 grams IIRC..

the carto works great for cutting out holes size 8-9mm. the middle pic is ssquare though and didnt look as good as wished for. the blue 'sleeve' (bike steer grip) looked ok with the small buttons,,

but alas, they wouldn't really work with big fingers, so I had to slice away the inbetween piece.

Red carbon fiber vinyl shows under grip, ah, so much for having the brains in 5 different places at once..

Lizard skin logo 'ring' was cut out alone, and so was the thicker 'band' parts. Having something just below firing button is great for finding that button with no need to find it.

actually these grips save quite some damage, not that a vamo shoud be dropped, or thrown in the back head of a politician, no, for that you use soft bricks and tomatoes.

the lavatube had to get naked and welcome the inconvenient plastic surgery as well :evil:
switched out white for that killbill look. badass look ? looks badass ? looks strange. Works badass. Bring something like this the airport checkin, or just a cafe in town, where regulars pull out their 350mah ego's.

bit of weights, the vamo 18650 xtra tube weights as much as the 18350 battery, thanks to whoever make this vamo steel or whatever chrome brass weighting in at 8g/cc or so..

20130227_160250.jpg20130227_145524.jpg20130227_145106.jpg20130227_145026.jpg


second pic is a smoktech dual coil cartomizer w. 6ml tank..

the weight gains +35g of rubber in 18650 mode, and equivalently it'd gain 25g in 18350 mode (uneducated guess)​

Oh dammit..defeated by a number..

well this bricklanebike grip definitely begs for the knife! Hope I can line up the skull with the fire button...

I only got the red color, I think it's gonna look terrifically creepy, or just plain crazy..which is technically creepingly terrific anyways
