A little Xhaler bling. I just can't leave things alone. I have to play. I stripped it down to bare aluminum, turned a few grooves into it and then gave it a few coats if fine flake Blue. (it's all I had available) Between the grooves are 3 - 2mm Rubies set in 24K gold bezels. The atomizer cap has some simple carvings applied and has been polished. The button housing has carvings as well along with another 2mm ruby embedded in the button.

First of all, thank you very much for the compliments. Second, I though this might open a can of worms. I have thought of doing this for others if there was any interest in it. One thing I want to make clear, I cannot paint to save my life. This was a quickie that really did not turn out as good as it looks. I would prefer not to have to mess with any of these XHaler bodies, unless I can find a painter to do it right. The carving and jewels are not an issue for me. I do that all the time. I have no idea what this may cost but I can come up with a price list if anyone is interested.

Below are some additional jewel options. All jewels are authentic 2mm in size and have 24k gold bezels.
Lilac Amethyst

Oh Ya, great job, only because Drew's is a 'real' piece of 'tube' you can do this [every wounder why NO ONE did this with the Prodigy????] now if you started with a Copper you could do power coat elector statically with graphics,,,, no wait,,,, that would be a Chuck but the batteries wouldn't fit.
seriously, good job, now work on some cart mods, that's what we really need
i would use lost wax and steel wool
