Hello everyone.
I turn wood on a lathe for a hobby. I normally make things like pens, pepper mills, bottle stoppers and goblets. I decided to put wood around a Riva 510 battery tube to see how it would turn out.


I dissembled the riva down to just the tube. I glued a piece of brown ebony around the tube. Then I turned it down and sanded it to 1200 grit. Next I applied 10 coats of CA glue(crazy glue) as a finish. The finish was also sanded to 1200 grit and buffed with white diamond. It took ~3hours from start to finish.

About a week ago I bought a E-power 14650 to test and see how good they work. The newer buttons seem to function fine and I have not had any issues yet. My next project will be to turn the tube on the E-power. The tube on the E-power unscrews from the switch so when the battery dies it will be much easier for me to change compared to my riva.

Here is a preview Jojobo's Provari fresh off the lathe. I can't wait to see how it looks with the matching Iatty and tip.


Thinking I need to buy a Provari for my PV after seeing how this came out.

Lisa's Indulgence with carto cone and tip in box elder burl (blue)

Here are pictures of the mod my son turned. He turned the battery tube and the tank. I turned the tip. It is a Segelie LT in acrylic #45 - Peacock. My wife informed me that I was purchasing it for her B-day

I turned three more on Thursday.

I ordered a few stabilized blanks. Stabilized wood is used for knife handles and do not absorb water or oil. They should also not absorb the e-liquid. They should take about two hours to turn a complete set(tube and cone). Only a few thin coats of CA should be requird to help with the shine. Here is a few pictures of the blanks.

I had a pre-order that I forgot about and didn't turn like I was supposed to on Thursday(lathe day). So I turned it today so that the customer will not have to wait due to my mistake.
It is a XL3 made with Amboyna Burl. The 3 pictures are all of the same unit.

I made a Ecig - How They Are Made page

Now everyone can see all of the work that goes into these.

I also turned my first indulgence for Txtumbleweed. It has a tube, cone and drip tip.

They will be made with 14650 and 18650 tubes/cones. The riva was just a test to see how it would look on a battery, sorry for the confusion.

They are very similar to how I turn a pen. Here is a link.

Step 6 and 7 are skiped because bushings are not sold for these tubes. Bushings act as a guide while turning a pen blank these are just turned by eye.
