Earthling789 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Okay, I've been clumsy lately, and banged my MVP and tanks around a bit more than usual... especially knocking the rig over on my desk! So, I considered one of those "rubber-band" thingies to help pad the Pyrex on my tanks.... That is, I considered them until I saw the prices for a strip of silicone! So, being the ingenious person I am, lol... I remembered that I had hundreds of feet of 550 paracord lying around (which I make key-chains, survival bracelets, lanyards, dog-collars, etc. from when I'm really, really bored). Five minutes later, I have a Four-Bight-Turk's-Head tied around one of my AeroTanks, and not only is it decorative, but it should provide a small amount of protection from drops and knocks? It also slides up or down (with a little force, because I tightened it up quite a bit) so I can still see how much juice is left in the tank What do you think?

Earthling789 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks VapeMama! After posting this last night, I tied a couple more in different colors for a couple of KPT2's... at least now I'm less worried about cracking a tank by accidentally knocking them over on my desk. I doubt they'll give much protection if I drop them 3-feet onto concrete, but who knows? I like the look of it so well, that I may do a similar wrap along the length of my eGo batteries, using a thinner cord, and possibly wrap my MVP the same way so they won't be so cold in my hand (when outside) this winter, lol.

Tam Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 What a great idea! I like that you can slide it to see how much juice is in the tank, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radnate Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I wish I would have read this post a couple days ago. I just busted the Pyrex on my KPT3 (again). I will be doing something like this as soon as my new glass comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
