The Overlooked Tootle Puffer Gear Thread

[Kenna]

Starting to wrap my brain around the mech mod stuff a bit.
But fingers may be another story. Wassup with those bottom (or top) firing buttons? Seems unnatural. At least after being so used to a side firing button where thumb or index finger can comfortably reach it.

That's one reaason I don't like them.

I don't like the bottom firing button either but I guess if I had to I would get used to it. Hope I don't have to. But I do have a few mechs and kicks.

 

[roxynoodle]

I got used to it.

That being said, I like the top side button on my Poldiacs the best.

 

[DavidOck]

One of my few mechs is an EHPro with a bottom side fire. There's a few other side fires as well.

Altsmoke Silver Bullet

Can't beat the Silver Bullet for reliability. Someone has them on clearance....can't remember who. Seems they have been around forever...

About a month or so ago I decided to sell my two SuperT Workhorses, bottom button. Excellent mods, but it was getting to be to uncomfortable for me to use em. I prefer the top side buttons, or the top button on a Reos anyway, much better for me to use.

I got one for Xmas, a great deal. Silver Bullet Series M (Mechanical)

Well, no kick for me then. I'm sticking with one size battery, & since the mechs are for last resort use only I don't see buying more mech's to be kickable.
I am a stick in the mud!

The Nemesis comes with a Kick ring. That is the only mod I ever used one in.

I just remembered I have a extra Kick ring for a Nemesis. So if you find a clone that does not have the ring I can send you one.

DHL called me at 5pm and promised for the second day in a row they would get it right today. And they sent it back to the wrong delivery center again!!! And now the status is "please contact DHL"



I have decided this is my final phone call, and I'm going to tell them to send it back to China.

If I was that successful at my job, I wouldn't have one. Just sayin'.

 

[roxynoodle]

This is the worst service I've ever had in my life from any business. I've had 9 phone conversations with them already.

Hmmm, so those Silver Bullets have an optional Kick Sleeve. Can use a Kick2. Some reviewers have compared them favorably to ProVari. A few mentions that the older Silver Bullets' finish held up amazingly, but the newer ones finishes start wearing off pretty quickly. Interesting. (found those at altsmoke.com/altsilverbullet.html#product_tabs_tabreviews)

One thing I haven't seen is the specs on size (22mm diameter likely, but length??) and weight.
Are they like as big and heavy as those nice metal flashlights police carry that double as weapons able to knock a perp out or down with swing to head or kneecaps?

Oh, probably not weight-wise since it says they're constructed from 6061 aircraft aluminum.

My first portable computer was a KayPro II. It too was rugged, reliable, "reasonably priced" at around $1700, looked and felt like Darth Vader's lunchbox. I didn't much care for carrying its 29 or so bulky lbs around with me. But it did have an ergonomic keyboard with excellent tactile feedback and well-placed buttons

Pardon my geriatric stroll down loss of memory lane. Mighta zapped myself with one of those mib neuralyzer flashy thingys mistaking it for a mod while sleepwalking during that stroll...

[emoji15] Great! Poldiacs & what else? Names?

Found a budget side-fire button mech: 69 SS Telescopic Mechanical Mod
No idea why it's named that, don't wanna know either.
Plus of course since it's from FT it's out of stock.

 

[roxynoodle]

A lot of the best mechs from FT are out of stock now 2014 was the year of the mech, and 2015 was the year of the regulated.

DHL called this morning to say they are giving it a new tracking number. And gave me a way to contact the lady in charge of my case directly. I said you probably should just take it to the PO. Not that USPS didn't lose one of my packages last week. They're just smart enough to stop scanning it so you can't see what stupidity they're up to.

 

[hobbes4]

My favorite top side button mechs are the Poldiac and GG Esterigon.

OMG, a package Case Worker?! And a new tracking#? Surely if they feel need to, and can, assign a new tracking# to a package, then that would point to a malfunction in their system's software somewhere. Otherwise what good would a new tracking# do besides acting as a "reset"?
