Had my Penelope for a few weeks now and the harsh brushed finish on it was starting to bug me. They look like they have been finished with 200 grit sand paper.
So I got to doing the finish myself today.
Now I just need to get it gold plated.

I much prefer the matt finish rather than polished in an atty or a mod but you've done a great job there if you prefer the mirror finish

Pic with gold protank and the Penelope before I polished it
That looks great!! Is that a Rainbow heaven or EHPro version of penny? cheers I Its actually called Euforia I got it from vapour freak as they were sell them off cheap and still are. They do a version 2 that comes polished but its £60

I So Rainbow heaven. The Freak have a V3 style update for the V1-V2 euphoria. no NONRES wire needed. I have the update for Hercules: VERY IMPRESSED. Thanks mate I I didn't know there was a version that didn't need no res wire, ill take another look on their site and see if I can find it, im using pre welded wire and twisting 2 together to give .9 Ohm. I thought the vape may be improved by using thicker wire but haven't tried making my own yet.

thats a damn fine price, I see Todd's review explains its set up well and he gave his a buff and its come up nice and shiny too I could quite be swayed, if it wasnt for vapefest and pennies needed (to use a pun)
