Silly question on LED.

[troyplokhooy]

Hello all! After enjoying my kr808D-1 for about...three days now, I was wondering about the LED. Is there a tutorial for changing the colored bulb/is it possible without destroying the battery?

I want something that does not look like a cigarette, as my kr8 has an orange tip, it still looks like it's burning.

Thanks in advance!

The only thing I've seen is people coloring it with a sharpie or digging the light out of it or gluing something on it.

I am not that familiar with mods to the 808, but you can check out the Modders Forum under Cosmetic mods.

Good luck!

LEDs don't use "colored bulbs". The LED itself is the color that you're seeing. To change that would require removing the old LED and soldering in a new one. While this is certainly doable, you're working in a pretty small space (you're not likely to be able to safely remove that portion from the battery cylinder) and you'll need to make sure you add the appropriate resisters (and remove any existing resistors) for the LED you want to change it to (LEDs of different colors have different requirements). If you're sufficiently knowledgeable in the area of LEDs and supremely skilled with a soldering iron you just might be able to do this without damaging the battery. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it and would instead suggest you spend the $15-20 it costs for a new battery with a differently colored LED tip.

Take a look at this video. A forum member who goes by MistressNomad, has a YouTube video on how to do this, and it doesn't require any soldering. The video is called,
"E-cig decorating. It's fun. Try it. Part 2 - End caps"

Part 1 deals with how to decorate an e-cig body with nail stickers and it's called, "E-cig decorating. It's fun. Try it. Part 1 - The body".

They are both good vids. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the helpful responses folks! I'll look into them more closely after work.

Personally, I'd just spend $10 on another battery with a different color. You'll want spares anyway.

Youtube is blocked in the office, but in the meantime, can anyone point me in the right direction to KR808D-1 black batteries with various LEDs? I'm looking for mainly pink/purple or green.

I've heard of people using a bik pen cap on the end of 510 batteries, isn't the 808 the same size? If so this might be the cheapest "mod" available to you, whatever you end up with good luck!

I use a mix of battery colors. Vapor4Life has a lot of color batteries but the LED color seems to be random or maybe related to the battery color. I have their older style black-button batteries and my platinums have green LED and my lavenders have sort of a pink LED.
