One looks like 007 with a little deeper relief and the other is kinda like this style:

Alright only 17 minutes after 12 [emoji12] pics are up and the tips are up on site. Here they are if you don't want to search around #010 and #011
Just ordered 008 spalted sycamore and the 006 buckeye burl
Some excellent choices there Nauti [emoji106] I have a meeting this morning but they will be in the mail right afterwards.
Received my tips yesterday Really like the shape of both!! Very comfortable to use and very well made!! Thanks so much for the excellent work

Oh and if in the off chance anyone sees this and is in the Summerville/Charleston area a couple of my tips are up for display and sale at VapeFX in Ladson SC
Got my xcarve cnc carver and the table it sits on is almost done, hopefully it'll be up by monday!
I'm still alive yall lol. I'm running a test batch of reo button covers now and then I'll get back to the tips. The more traditional style tip cores are being machined now so hopefully not too long on those. How's everyone else? [emoji12]
Traditional, I'm afraid I'm hooked on untraditional [emoji16][emoji108] but I know other folks may want traditional. Can't wait to get see what you come up with, I may be swayed.

Be on the lookout m8s...my LCCM vid is exporting now, and with my slow internet, plus YouTube HD'ing times after the upload...it shall hit the interwebs tomorrow 
Heck yes! I know those problems, getting pictures of the tips on the site at home is a nightmare even when I resize them way down I wouldn't even think of uploading a video from here.Be on the lookout m8s...my LCCM vid is exporting now, and with my slow internet, plus YouTube HD'ing times after the upload...it shall hit the interwebs tomorrow
Sloth man...you are awesome brother. I can't thank you enough for the kind words and great vid, taking time out of your day to produce a shoutout.. .I really don't know what to say. Yall blow me away with the support!
I would like to address a few points brought up in the video (and just in general):
-wider bores: I would love to do some of these. If you look around the scene right now wide is in obviously but there are some limitations. In a traditional 510 you are going to have a hard time going much bigger than 6-7mm without it just being a tapered bore. I am exploring chuff cap stuff but still in the exploratory phase as far as that goes.
-Button covers: Sloth has the only one out in the wild right now, he mentioned there are a couple maple on the site right now which is true. Fortunately I have found a process which makes making these much more realistic in terms of time and effort. The next update and from then forward will include button covers and more often than not they will have matching drip tips available at the same time. Next update will have button covers in Zebrawood, Bloodwood, and four colors of stabilized buckeye burl (yellow, pink, purple, and blue).
-Finishes: we have moved to all CA finishes, there were a couple lacquer tips at the beginning but those are all gone.
Again, thanks brother you are the man!
p.s. that hiking footage has me feeling all sentimental for the hills
