Steampunk Daily: Smoking/Vaping: Vent69 Steampunk E-Cigarettes

These steampunk e-cigarettes were apparently created by an ECF member who goes by the handle Vent69. It appears to be a variable-voltage device based on a DIY modding chip; Vent69 has also made a smaller steampunk mod that operates at 3.7 volts only. Both e-cigarettes appear to be made from copper, although its possible that some other material was used and some sort of artificial coloring was done to create the appearance of copper with a deep patina. Vent69 is truly skilled; look at the hinge holding the end cap of the top e-cigarette in place. These e-cigarettes are full of little details and look anything but cheap. For whatever reason, it appears that Vent69 has asked his buyers not to disclose the prices of the mods publicly perhaps to avoid people who want to flip them. Judging from a Google search, it appears that the price of the smaller 3.7-volt mod may exceed $500. Or, the person asking $500 may be attempting to take advantage of the fact that this steampunk e-cigarete has one very, very long waiting list.
