Here is my latest Beadwork called "Pretty in Pink". I just had to make something to match my new Pink Kanger batteries, I designed this so a lanyard can be hooked into the beadwork!

It all depends on your way of attaching the Lanyard, if you have a joyetech eGo, you can buy a cheap Lanyard, take the ring off it, throw the ugly lanyard away and attach any chain necklace that has a Lobster claw clasp on it and is long enough, then head to your local Hobby/Craft/Jewelry store and buy some charms!
If you have a Kanger battery, or others with no way to attach a Lanyard you have to create a harness that securely holds your battery.
If you are looking for readymade, do a google search for eCigarette Charm Lanyards or on etsy, you will find many of us are gettin' busy making all sorts of neat things to decorate your device!
Those are so cute, I love the bumblebee drip tip! But I had to notice the napkin! Bikkuridonkii! One of my favorite places to eat in Japan, even if they are a little "themed".

The driptips are made by Teena. I love them!
Wow, I was very surprised when I read your comment lol! Yes, I love going there for the simple, cheap & healthy Westernized foods on their menu - like for eg. steak and their delicious salads and desserts.
Did a search and only came up with a few items from one vendor . Are you selling on Etsy?
I'm in the mood to shop......
She just recently closed her shop, but if you contact her I'm sure she would be happy to work something out for you...
It looks like some of the pics are gone but you can see a few here:

I was just wondering about that. I know jewelry supply retailers offer a variety of metal patinas that are durable (usually finished with a wax). They work like a stain and are considered permenent but not scratch resistant. Most of the time they are used for darkening or antiquing a finish. This one is very popular (some don't work as well as others) Amazon.com: Jax Pewter Black Patina: Everything Else
I don't think the rub on finishes sold at Michael's or Hobby Lobby (gilding usually) would be very permanent outside of a picture frame. But I haven't tried.
Anodizing (if it's aluminum) would look nice but requires taking it apart. Powder coating / electroplating also requires taking it apart and I've heard efforts haven't been successful because it's hard to keep it out of the threads, making putting it back together a challenge.
Some people have taken nylon scratch pads (sold for dishes) and created a buffed finish vs the original shiney one. A brushed finish would be easier to add a patina too.
What I wondered about was a polymer wrap - or maybe with some wire wrapping ... I also thought a chain mail type holder would be interesting.
And there's car vinyl wraps. I wonder if a cut-out design would stick or stick on top of a previous wrap? Ohhh, the possibilites ...
I was planning to use this to quit smoking... Now I want a ton of batteries. Those etched ones pointed out earlier are gorgeous. I can't deciede between the birds or the ocean.
Cat is having her first sale of Unique tanks tomorrow!!

You guys put my girly-ness to shame, but this is only after less than 2 weeks out.
I LOVE the etched one from The Vapor Girl. It's gorgeous! I've been using that one for the past few hours and I like the way it feels, plus it's just beautiful. The orange mini she threw in for free because I bought the tip and she said it was too pretty to not include (and it's gorgeous pearly orange). I REALLY like the mini purple paisley. Sigh, too many choices!
Oddly enough, so far my favorite tip is the C9 from the various ones I've tried. It's not a warm vape, but I'm digging it.

So yesterday my BFF and I went to Michael's and tried to buy the place out... LOL!!
He is the result of our efforts: The 2 charms, her 17-year-old son made for me. The tanks I blinged out last night. Still want to do something else to the short/fat tank I think - we'll see...

Nice epage! I've been thinking of going to Michael's to look for ideas. I cleaned out my jewelry the other day and was going to throw out some old costume jewelry then thought maybe I could make some charms out of some of it.
Does anyone have ideas of something prettier to use besides o-rings? I've heard of stretchy string but wouldn't you then have extra thread pieces hanging off from where you tie it?

Everything I bought was adhesive-back. You'd think I had some clear nail polish in the house, but I don't, so I'm going to go get some today so I can finish them off - with the exception of the short/fat one. I had fun playing around with it!
OMG OMG OMG OMG... I wish I was crafty. Dude, you should totally sell those... here, take my money! I absolutely love the purple one... *swoons*

I have been thinking about that too Mookie, nothing that works has hit me yet. But the stretchy string, I have used that and when I tie the knot I push a bead over the knot and glue it in there. It's hidden really well that way.
I found these cha cha expansion rings on eBay but haven't gotten around to ordering any yet so I don't know how well they might work. You would probably need jump rings to attach your pieces of jewelry to the ring.
Good idea - thanks for the tip!
These are interesting.....might be worth a try. Made me think of some slim stretchy rings I have. I'm going to dig them out to see if they might work.
