sculpey drip tips - make em shine?

[Prettycat191]

Danco o rings at the hardware or automotive store # 60 I think, that's what fits 510

Ooh, thank you!

Very classy and a cheap way to dress up a rather drab e-cig

Well I just wanted to add the tips I made last year since I just found this thread.

 

[Lethalp]

I am glad this thread keeps on going! I have finally started doing these myself, tho I must say since I had nothing to start with it would have been much cheaper to just buy them for $2. Doh! So my question is which method is making them the most shiny? Putting a coating on or polishing by hand? I don't have a dremel, but I did buy the steel wool and the sandpaper. Then I seen on a sculpey site that u you use several different grits, I only have the one, and I also seen that u are supposed to "wet" sand them. Is anyone doing that? Apparently the dust is a bad idea, I did not know that till I read it. I have not polished any of mine yet, so I will wait to see what others say. On another note I was on a quest to find something non toxic to put on them and I came up with butchers block conditioner.

This thread interests me. I already make my own mods and liquids, and I'm practicing making attys, so why not drip tips also...?

So far I have made four mods, the first was a Puck Mod in a mint tin, and the next 3 are 18650 mint tin mods. I'm about to build a vv one that I have all the parts for. I'll be starting a new thread in the Battery Mods section of ecf in the next few days.

Edit: Here's the link, http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/279407-introducing-newmans-own-mod.html

And I'm playing with sculpey now...

 

[Digital-Dragon]

I'm going to try to make one, gonna make and bake it on the wooden skewer, I think that will be the perfect size.

What I need to know is where to get the o-rings?

The o-rings I have are from madvapes. Great if you don't mind ordering online.

I saw your mods just last night when I was going through the modding forum.Very nice mods Ive been wanting to do some.So far all Ive done are flashlight USB PT.Would it be cool to ask for help when I get into the other type mods from you?

Totally cool. These mint tin mods are really basic, and work really well. I have the parts to do usb charging in the mail though, and I'm about to build a double 18650 vv with volt meter whenever I get a chance to sit down and focus on it.

So yeah, questions are good, and I'll help out as much as I'm able.

That's awesome man please post pictures when you get done with it.

 

[Chopper71]

Not trying to high jack this thread but here is one that I did.

 

[Digital-Dragon]

That looks real nice chopper.

I know it's a passthrough, but I want to gather as much info as possible about usb mods of any sort here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...internal-usb-charging-best-safest-method.html
Talk about how the usb works on your mods, we should probably take this conversation there, and let this thread get back to sculpey talk

And feel free to ask anything about my 18650 newman's mods in the newman's thread.

Oh, and I'm getting better at making symmetrical drip tips, but not picture quality yet...

I'd say it depends on how hot you vape. At 4.2 or below the vape would be about body temperature. PVC does not release any toxins below 300* F.
Also this(and I use FIMO)
"According to the information supplied by the manufacturer to the British Polymer Clay Guild, the old Fimo formula did not contain any of the banned phthalates. The existing formula apparently complied with the new laws. They just removed all of them to play safe - presumably, they believe that at some stage the law will change again and they want to be ready."

So I wouldnt go so far as to say alarmist, but it would have been better to simply ask which type of clay we are using....

 

[MASTER0FDAMPF]

According to the post above it is good up to 350* - far more than would be comfortable to put your lips on.

 

[Lethalp]

Thanks for posting Master! That will surely help ppl with their questions about polymer clay. I use mine everyday, no issues

 

[MASTER0FDAMPF]

hopefully I will have time to do a few this weekend. I also want to make some LavaTube stands...maybe I will make a little "cup" to test how absorbent it is and resistance/leakage into juice. I would LOVE to make some tank caps out of it!

It was on sale when I went to get it (2$ a small brick) so I got red, redder red, orangeish (on clearance for 77c), black, translucent, grey, gray, white, metalic silver, metallic pewter and a few others.

all in all about 11 colors for under 20$. Not bad!

 

[Lethalp]

Tank caps? Interesting
Please let me know how your experiments with the cup goes, I too would love to know. I have not had any softening or anything with mine, and I vape dc LR cartos, at bout 4.2 to 4.5v, but I don't drip with them, maybe I will give it a shot.

 

[MASTER0FDAMPF]

I want to see if I can make something like these:
(Switch to images view if page does not load that way)
lavatank - Google Search

But with changable drip tips. I may need to get stronger clay (Fimo is quite a bit stronger than the sculpey from my reading), but just to probve the concept. Also, sculpey IS waterproof once it cures
