Coppervape BF Mod

[b.m.]

Anyway I'm looking forward to trying this thing because I like the brass look and "feel" of brass.
Going to strip the clearcoat and let it do it's own thing for a few and then seal it again

I agree,nice shiny brass looks good,but a nice aged patina takes it to a whole new level.We have brass knobs on our door,and my wife is always on me to polish it,but it looks so much better after a month or so,so i just keep forgetting to polish it haha.
I haven't gotten around to stripping the clear coat off my brass cv yet,but definitely plan to.

For anyone who has Stripped the Clear Coat off their Brass CV, does the Brass leave any Smell on your hand if you Hold the mod for awhile?

In an architectural context (door knobs, handles, hinges, etc.) solid brass is referred to as a "living finish." When I first heard that term I adopted it immediately: "No, dear, we shouldn't polish the brass because it's a living finish and is supposed to be that way."

Worked for me.

Yes, a little. But it's a living finish and is supposed to do that.

Yup the " aged living finish " look.

I haven't notice any.

I tried using that "Living Surface" reasoning once an Old Ice Chest when I was getting the Gear ready to go camping.

She Didn't Buy it.

LOL

Wow, she must be a tough nut. Polishing the gear to go camping!

Yeah... She wasn't exactly a Seasoned Camper. And kinda had an Aneurism when she looked inside the Coleman Stove.

Definitely not seasoned. Experienced campers know never to look inside the Coleman stove.

I told her that Every One of those Burnt Beans stains, or Candle Wax drips, or Melted Nylon Rope Globs (at least... I think they are Melted Nylon) had a Story to Tell. And it would be a Sacrilege to remove them.

You just have to Draw a Line some times when it comes to Camping.

The only time my brass CC does that is when I'm extra sweaty, think it's the salt interacting with the brass.

The Reason I asked was I have a Non-Sparking Brass Hammer. No Clue what type of Brass it is? And until I wrapped the Handle in Athletic Tape, it would leave a Funky Smell on my hand after using it.

Not a Strong Odor. Just something I noticed.

Just wondered if Anyone else noticed this?

Amen to that. Have these neat freaks no respect for history?

I hear ya.

She was actually a Good Camper. And a Remarkably good shot with a Handgun or a Scoped Rile. She just had a Thing about Food having to be Kept/Prepared in near a sterile setting.

She was also a Great Co-Pilot when in the Car.

I'm very careful to never perspire.

Ok, didn't mean to start a war about who killed who....lol (sorry, monty python reference).

Didn't get the kit, unfortunately. However I now have 2 parts kits coming, from slow tech....

Otherwise, happier than a clam with the Coppervape. I miss it, as my KFL+'s are waaaayyyyyy too tight now. But thankfully they are there as a stopgap.

No Reo for me, at least right now.

 

[BrentMydland]

I have a REO but this isn't about them,,,,,,,,

Honestly, I love reos and they certainly are tanks but I haven't pulled out a REO since I got my first CV. I just love these little CVs and have found I much prefer a front squonk compared to the REO side squonk and it fits much better in the hand IMO no matter which way I squonk or fire. Not a whole lot I would change about the CV just a few minor things. IMO the only decent squonker under 100. At the 22 I paid for them its a steal. I wish more companies would follow suit and put out more reasonably priced bf mods that were actually worth a dang. Its not like it would be that difficult. All the other cheap/mass produced BF mods just have to many negatives for me. If Wismec would have took the Rx, swapped the 510, and put a bottle in the 3rd battery spot a year ago they would have made a killing. The chip isn't great for tc but plenty good enough at the RX200 price point.

I meant to add...

It's been fun trying to squonk on a piece of aluminum and steel....gotta love muscle memory....
