thoroughly vaped
Has anyone else tricked out their Q? Not glass or accessories, but the unit itself. Nothing radical here, and doesn't even look good enough to figure out how to post a pic, but I rigged up a little utility belt to help keep track of accessories.
Kept losing the remote and the stirrer right when I wanted them, and my table tends to get cluttered. Made a little bracket out of a piece of coathanger to hold the remote, and used a piece of tubing (now, THAT's a good use for the stock tubing!) to make a holster for the stirrer. I just used some electrical tape about 4" up from the base, and went around a few times taping the bracket on one side & the tubing on the other. It looks a little tacky, but not too bad and well worth it to me for the functionality.
First time looked worse, but second try was good. A tip I figured out second time if you plan on doing this... Wrap a separate piece of tape around the bracket itself (and a separate piece for the tubing itself) leaving tab ends to just stick each to the side before you wrap all the way around the unit. Make sure you keep the tab ends as horizontally straight as you can so they can be easily covered with the tape you go around the whole unit with. As you know the outside doesn't get hot. Apparently it stays cool enough that it doesn't get the tape warm at all. First tape was on for a week and left absolutely no residue or marks.
Anybody else have any ideas to share? I'd really like to do something different (no tape) but can't think of anything else and can't recall seeing anything similar in the thread.
