Careful with painting over. It will make the atty retain more heat than it is intended and you could end up blowing them faster! The atty won't cool as quickly and will heat up interior wise faster with the added coat.

Good point! I wonder if a light sanding (of the factory finish) and THEN a coat of paint would solve that potential issue?

Hell, how about someone makes HV attys in matte colors and then I could just buy them?!?!

Mike, even if painting doesn't end up overheating the atty - you'd still need to rough up the chrome to get get any paint adhesion. Even at that - I don't know if the paint would last very long without a self etching primer coat on top of the chrome finish.

....... and thanks Tina, I wasn't even thinking about the heat aspect.

Now that I've been using my Chameleon for a couple days I realize there's one thing I miss about my 901's, the colors! I have 901 batt/attys in a bunch of different colors and it makes determining what flavor is in them easier. Now I want HV attys in a couple different matte colors. Maybe I can find a matte clearcoat that I could put over regular shiny HV attys?

I switch to 901s just to get the colors, love the purple, then fell in love with the 901s. For the attys that are not a color I want I wrap a piece of thin graphics vinyl around them and make them the color I want. The heat doesn't effect the vinyl at all and I haven't noticed those attys getting any hotter than the others. I have two 510s I've been using since Dec with vinyl on them and they are fine. Unfortunately I only have gloss vinyl or I would offer to send you some to try.

Can you take a pictue of your attys with the vinyl wrap on it so we can see what it looks like??

If I can insert the pic right we're all set. This is my 510 bling set up. The stickers on the battery are nail art stickers and hot pink vinyl on the atty.

Ok it's pouring rain here but I had hubby run out to the shop and get my 510 mega atty I had left out there. This is wrapped with purple vinyl though my cheapo camera make it look more blue, it's actually a dark purple.

Wow WitchWay ........ Bling! Very Bling! Hmmm - I think I might look into some carbon fiber graphics vinyl ....... You might have just started a new trend! Nicely done.

That is something! That looks just great! Here's my 1st beloved 901. Now, it doesn't look anywhere near as yours but she's still my lil fave.

Cartomizers are all done in a sticker type vinyl, w/out it, it gets Very hot.
I would like to place my order now, thank you very much....
Haha me too! I have a sample coming in along with the G120 atomizer, but I'm afraid only Chameleon, Extensions and their USB's are only coming this round. We're just waiting for my supplier to obtain rights to sell Green E-cig products, which turns enables us too! :D

Oh I like that, it's sharp looking! What is on the battery to make the silver swirls?

Thank ya thank ya! The swirls is the actual aluminum underneath the paint. I sorta free spun it. Let the wheels turn as the battery spun in my hands by the wheel force.
I believe Jason's definitely right though double Way. You did kick start a trend! Yours looks so nice and smooth..just official! Wouldn't be a bad idea for customizing. ;)
