Hey, Ab. Care to share your link on the Turkish stems? Is it an easy transaction or a jump-through-hoops situation? I'd really love to get a few of those. Thanks!

Some were from ebay, others I have coming have involved some negotiations with someone who English isn't that great but much better than my Turkish. I am still trying to get a good supplier for Turkish stems.
On ebay just search for "replacement pipe stems" and take the time to scroll through all the pages.

Just posted this in another thread, but worth repeating here in case anyone is interested. Cherry Vapes had some unreleased "shorty" universals at the Vapefest. They basically just cut the tenon length in half, so the decorative portion now sits flush to the top of the JDS. They'll be $5 (maybe $6), and will be available pretty soon I'd assume. Black or White.
I don't particularly dig the uni's, but some folks here may.

Had to post this pipe and knife combo...pipe is a E-Pipe Mods Alchemy Elemental and the knife is an equal end stockman by Bulldog...
Haven't owned one but given how high the demand is for them I am sure you will be happy.
Anyone have other links for e-pipes. It seems that all the great looking ones are sold 
There are links on the first page of this thread as well as on page 4 I think...
E-Pipe Mods should be listing their Vape Fest left overs this week as well, half didn't make it to the show so there should be a good number coming up for sale...

I may own this one if it hasn't sold....sent a PM for it...from Mystical Fabrications...
this was the table! Well over 100 pipes. Matt said that was actually all of them... it's all the switches, accessories, etc that didn't make it. Had the pipes not made it, I probably would've cried and stomped out like a little baby.
I'd be surprised if they sold more than 20-30 pipes to be honest. Should be a field day for everyone who's been waiting. There were tons of killer pipes, was really hard to pick just one. I had to get two! Can't wait for Matt to mail me the switches so I can fire these things up!
Mailman just came...had a package from Turkey...
The long is 7 1/2 inches not counting the white screw tenon, the short is 6 1/4...can't wait to convert for e-pipes

Holy Canoli, Ab!! Those look great.
Hope you get that MythFab Alabaster. That thing is Bad. Azz.

I dig those stems Abs and GL with that pipe. Nick, why do you say he probably only sold 20-30? I imagine all the Gandalf's are gone and I know that quite a few of the freehands found homes. Were there not that many people hanging around Matt's table or were there alot of pipes left on Saturday?
Ab: where are you getting these pipe stems? Those probably wouldn't go with my pipe, but they are still very striking. Can you give us the run down? How much were they and how much will they cost in time and money to convert? Where did you get them?
Shoog, I hung by Matt's table for 3 of the 4 hours I was there on Friday. Didn't go Saturday. As I said, IMO, his pipes stole the show, and no one even realized it. I may be wrong on the "20-30", as I heard it was a madhouse Saturday. I hope I'm wrong. Friday was pretty jumpin too, but there were only two empty holes when I left - the two I bought. I'd be surprised if more than 50 sold. Sad, really. I was expecting more out of my fellow NY'ers. 
I guess the epipes aren't for everyone.
Edit: Actually, just as I arrived there, someone was buying one of the 26 series, the elemental one. Other than that, I only know of two of the freehands finding homes, of the 10+ that were there. We'll have to see when Friday rolls around. I might even grab another!
How many pipes do you guys have, by the way? Ab, Dirq, shoog. I'm seeing some great collections around here!

Missed by minutes on the Alabaster but he has a mottled green stone with gold flecks and number 2 is mine.
The stems came from Turkey and I am kinda on shaky ground getting them. The guy I am dealing with is not real good with English and I don't speak Turkish so it is a bit tough. Add in he makes stems for quite a few pipe makers in Turkey and has limited time to give me so I really don't want to give out my source right now. I will have four more in the near future I hope, told him same length or longer.
Conversion isn't really that difficult. Or doesn't need to be. You can do it a couple different ways. Biggest issue is stability, I don't like wriggles. I have been making the hole in the tenon large enough to fit over the slim UDCT I like. Inside of that I use one of the stainless Siam drip tip stems. Acrylic is pretty brittle so I use burrs rather than drill bits.
Nick...I have 6 pipes with 2 more on the way...
