I had rda from Nhaler years ago that was made of some sort of plastic or acrylic, and I had a Helios from Fasttech that was a clear plastic. But nothing artistic.

Made a sleeve for the ego twist 1000mah. Finished one made from a piece of claro Walnut burl. and dropped it with a unhappy result. Sooo, came home and grabbed a piece of Buckeye burl. I left a little more material on body and lowered the inset depth on the bottom to 3mm. Stabilized the wood with CA, polished with CA, friction set polish, then HUT wax. Just need to not drop it now.

18650 Claro Walnut, bottom feeder, 3ml bottle, recessed drip well. Battery held in place by magnet.

Turn it upside down and tap, battery is held in with a magnet. Button is also held in place with a magnet. Thank you, jeffb

18650 Zebrawood, bottom feeder, side by side. http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/alekos557/002-53_zpse716638a.jpg http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/alekos557/003-35_zps2b2b75d4.jpg http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/alekos557/004-30_zps13086eeb.jpg

That one is going to be bright in a couple of weeks.

Mine came with a extra spring, so I installed. After putting in a fresh battery I could get maybe 2 or 3 activations. Then the unit would not fire, Check battery level....1.2v or similar. Check battery with multimeter 4.2v. Then no matter what battery you installed it would read low voltage. Give it a hour or so with no battery and you could put in a battery and get a couple puffs. If you checked resistance with Vamo it would read correctly, then the next activation or maybe 2 the unit would show atty as being too low. Same thing...give it some time with no battery, and it would act normal for a minute. I think I just got the dud. The vendor had me send it back, (now I just hope it will act up for them.) There is always going to be some small failure rate with equipment, so it is no reflection on the vendor.

Buffing wheel and HAT wax.

Recieved mine today, no bueno. After over a hour of fighting with it I have actually got it activate about 4 times. Freshly charged AW IMRs and IMRs read 2v or lower. No matter what the resistance on the atty or carto, get error code for short. As I have basically tried everything possible, I think I got the "Dud". I will have to wait till after Xmas to hear back from them.

Pm me and we can work something out. Or email alekos557@charter.net

Just a skinny little 18650 or 18500 w/Kick PurpleHeart and BlackPalm. Good started coming in pretty well during buffing. http://s1257.beta.photobucket.com/user/alekos557/media/002-53_zps2b1020de.jpg.html

Thank you.

Made so that when battery has to be disposed of cover can be moved to new battery.

A little something found while cleaning ut the garage. 18350 battery.

I have had mine for about a week now, Functions flawlessly. Takes 510 and ego atty/cartos/tanks etc. It can be locked to prevent pocket firing. Hefty, solid, the chrome is well done. Not as much of a fingerprint magnet as I thought it would be. The spring is very soft though, no standing upright on table for this one. Of course if I wasn't a moron, I could just take a second to screw the locking ring. I guess we all have our flaws. The chrome is so good it is almost slippery. My first impression is that this one will last. It doesn't have that "cheap" feel. It will also function the Kick module. The top portion can be unscrewed, making the installation quite easy. The vendor sent it out promply, same day as order was placed. Email conformation was prompt. There have been no issues with unit, so can't comment on vendor communication. In short a very positive experience with both the Xcalibur and the vendor.

It is on sale afterall...and it has me thinking about using truck batteries again. A harness, a couple of batts, 10 atties built with 20ga wire, a mouthpiece to combine output, helmet, safety goggles....naahh.

Well...nothing I ever made could be used as "mood lighting". Hmmm...maybe hang it from the ceiling fan with some 80s Disco music playing

I have one on the way, shipped yesterday.

A pair of 18350 Cocobolo pipes

Really looks pretty cool, solid.

Anyone covered by the Nevada Heart/Lung bill. The Benefit is now "Administered" by a insurance company instead the Legislature. The "Fiscal" implications are obvious.
