What was wrong with the ole fd classic?
Having built a few mods using them (before Pinches and CeeCees even existed), I'd say they were the best solution available at the time, but whatever Chinese far-east shop made 'em didn't have much of a QC department. Then of course there was also the question of making or sourcing a hollow centerpin of appropriate dimensions and characteristics...

Couple of other notes, pertinent . ..

Obviously, in pursuing this line of thinking (been thinking about this 510 thang for some time now), I considered whether it would be an expense considered worthwhile by my customers, peeps, y'all. It didn't take long to come to the conclusion that it's totally worth a few bucks to make a fancy mod complete with high-end custom hardware. (otherwise it'd be like skinning the cat and then not eating the delicate .... fat. . . . like, who would do that?)

My pricing on the mods was already buffer-free. I left no headroom for increased costs in materials, parts, etc.

So, I am going to have to adjust mod pricing to accommodate the difference in materials cost to me per these new 510s. I sincerely hope that you folks see eye to eye with me on the value*. It's really not hardly anything per mod; but in aggregate, will go towards me paying off the bill from the machine shop.

Pinch mods will be $384.

I'll be posting this info in the Reference Thread, along with pricing for Li'l Punch and Giggity-Nutpunch ("Nutter") mods .. . in the fullness of time. Generally, I mean to update over there with some more formal description/offering of the Punch & Nutter. I would like to make these 510 assemblies available to hobby modders & friends (on a small scale). Will probably post some pricing for that as well.



*On the outside chance that someone is not comfortable with my having made this decision unilaterally (the 510 decision, w/ its ramifications), please feel free to notify me in a timely fashion, and I'll machine your cap to house the previous brand of 510 and save you the ten dollars.
:D

Trouble maker back on your lawn. Is this for a mod or just the nuppin atomizer? Sorry... o_O:blink:

As far as I know they're machined in the Philippines for FD

In all fairness to Dennis if you're using them on a non squonker (like they're designed to be used) they're fine but when you have liquid coming up from below if things aren't within certain tolerance then they have the potential to leak.

With this rate, by the time my turn comes, pinches and nut punchers will be running on solar energy!! [emoji848]

Yes, you're on the list for SS Nuppin' x1.

my best guess on when they'll actually be done getting made and available is ~7-8 weeks.
