Been meaning to tell you guys for years already (literally - I just keep putting off - glad to see this forum is still active): pinch I got in 2017 has been daily driver ever since. I don't wanna jinx it or anything but yeah. Biggest regret is not getting two more of each (pinch + OL16). I have no backups apart from a peko that seems... stuck (the button spring must be corroded after being idle all these years).

I should add to that that this pinch rarely leaves the house. If I ever need to travel extensively or whatever, it'd probably be smart to get some other mod.

Should also add: thanks again X-Puppy (and pdib). The song and dance (me pleading with Peter to sneak me in after he'd practically closed shop) is funny in hindsight. Still tragic but funnier now. Tragicomedy.

Really great to hear its one of your daily drivers! They do hold up to daily duty really well. (excluding drop tests) :D

Tricky getting things delivered to your neck of the world. So glad to see it was worth the finagling!

Really sweet looking mod too!

Indeed, it's nice to hear that it's going strong and that it worked out for you this well.
Really was super big of X-py to offer that mod up, seeing as how he's more aiming to amass rather than unload. :thumb:
Latest lamp in progress is my favourite

Going by proliferation of ig posts, I'm wondering if you are also quite fond of it?

actually, yes, I'm liking it very much. I feel like I'm blossoming these days, having found a way of incorporating substantial woodworking into the lamp shtick and finding that I can finally work with wood the way I (probably unconsciously) always wanted to. (rather than having to worry about predicability and consistency, straight lines, etc)

the proliferation of posts is really just, I felt the first one sort of drew in the 2nd and 3rd.
not an indication of my feelings about the Corbel Djinn lamp.

got a long ways to go yet, on this lamp (if I stay with the original idea and sketches)

True. Thanks man. Entropy will get it, one day. Or maybe one day I'll have to repair something or other. But I treat it really well.

He's received a pretty good amount of kudos/appreciation but still a reminder couldn't hurt. (I'm not a fanboy, I'm not a fanboy.)

Are there any comparable mods around that anyone here can vouch for? I say comparable but I just mean something similar in design to pinch/cc/peko. I.e. single 18650, BF, mechanical, (squonk hole and firing button in the right place), etc. I don't pay attention apart from a background subscription to Todds Reviews in case he ever posts something that catches my eye (I know he used to be quite fond of quality BF mech mods and had a finger on the pulse of who's making what).

^^ it's not what prompted me to pop in here :D (I don't think)

My current daily is an SVA Kimech v3

I think that it was just north of 300 euro. I think

Hellfire are also nice

Both are currently on the boro bandwagon and ignoring squonks. But plenty around secondsies

Hellfire last made cobra x mech 18650 squonk. Venom x was 21700 which are also nice

The squonk craze peaked around 2016 and second hand market will have masses of silver contact 18650 squonk

Oh, limelight gloom and I forget the wood name

Or b2l seems fond of sq by signature tips. I did not like mine

I've handled one of his. It didn't feel right in the hand to me. I suppose one might get used to it eventually.

Pinches and CeeCees forever for me.
