Electronic Cigarettes

Painting My Electronic Cigarette

I bought the paint, brushes and sponges.  I just need to find the nerve.  I’m going to paint my electronic cigarette!

After seeing a lovely layered job someone did, I figured it’s time.

I headed out to the Michael’s Arts and Crafts store a couple of days ago.  The paint selection was overwhelming.  I wanted to be sure to not only select some colors I liked, but needed to be careful to get the right kind of paint.

The instructions I obtained called for FolkArt Enamels Acrylic Metallic Paint for glass & ceramics.  While Michaels carries FolkArt, I was unable to find this particular blend.  Then there was the choice on metallic or not.

After a good hour or so bouncing around in the store, a declined sponge sword fight with my other half, bouncing from the do it yourself kits and model cars to the glass ware, I finally picked some stuff up.  I got the Delta glass paint which will need to cure for at least 10 days after applying.  I really couldn’t help myself, and I got a couple of sample kits.  One is iridecent, and the other is just plain.  I also got PermEnamel in the silver.  Now with so many colors, I don’t know where to begin.

I made sure to check something with NJOY first.  I wanted to make sure my warranty would be valid after painting my e-cig.  I am delighted to report it is!  If there are any problems as far as the battery dying or atomizer, NJOY will take your painted e-cig and replace it with a new one – just not painted.

I am charging up the batteries in my camera right now, and I’ll see if I can’t supply some pics or video when I start painting.  We will however have to wait some time for me to test the paint and see how it holds up after it has cured – so I don’t recommend anyone else do this just yet!  You can, but I can’t guarantee anything.

While I am at it, I have a cigarette case solution as well, and I can paint that to match.  I’m almost ready to go!
