That was an odd choice of the first finger to go!

Ha!
The only tools I ever had were screwdrivers, hammers and pliers. And then I started vaping and I ran into these guys with lathes and drill presses and other fancy tools.[emoji46]

Ha! When family members see me holding any sort of tool, they run from the room in terror, like I'm the Texas chainsaw dude.

After 8/8, the cost of the drip tip would exceed $400,000.....
I just sent off a piece of wood to be made into a drip tip. After August 8 that would be a "new" product and illegal to sell. Same goes for any newly designed DTs even if it's just a new color or other design variation with no possible effect on performance or safety.
I've read the truly excellent motion for summary judgment in the Nicopure suit, and a drip tip maker should intervene. A ten page motion incorporating Nicopure's and simply pointing out the absurdity of requiring a PMTPA for a drip tip would be very compelling and impossible for the FDA to effectively rebut,

Someone pointed out to me that government mandated safety stickers are racist.
It's always the white stick figure doing it right and the black stick figure doing it wrong.

People can overdo it sometimes [emoji848]..to the extent of being ridiculous.

Wanted to share some pics of the Clear Caps being machined. For my one off custom stuff, I dont CNC machine them, I machine them manually to add a bit of me to it, so each piece is unique and truly custom ;)

This is the machine that the clears were run on :) All chucked up and ready to go ;)

First steps, facing the end and rough milling the bore:

Then I size the bore with a boring bar:

Now drilling the drip tip hole:

Now I turn the Outside to size:

Now I cut off the part to flip it over:

That leaves this:

I face the Part to length:

Then turn the drip tip to size:

Finally, part is done except for the slots and polishing up nice and clear :D

Off to the milling machine to do the slots.........

Very cool.....I have always enjoyed seeing the process of how something is made! Thanks so much for sharing :thumbs:
And thanks again for doing these ;)
