No problem. I started doing it that way and believe it or not my very first shipment got lost. The bullet buttons aren't so bad if they get lost in the mail because they are easy to duplicate. But the resin buttons are each one of a kind and have sometimes hours invested in them so if I have to replace a lost one it really stinks. That is why I ship priority mail 2 day. Believe it or not every package I ship costs me more than $6 to ship when u add up postage and packaging materials.

I hear ya about the resins..... no doubt, I'm sure you have to put serious work into those! How are you fitting them onto the Reo....... string? I always thought a side set grub screw would work nice?

She's a nice little piece[emoji1] Perfect for purse carry with the enclosed hammer and she's light. Would love to shoot more but my hands are a wreck. RA and OA. Recently had thumb joint replacement on the right. Left will be next [emoji6] May get back to shooting some after that. Need to get a little .22 long barrel for that. My dad is a gun collector, so I have been shooting and handling guns since the age of 8. [emoji4]

Grab you a ruger mark 3. Great little 22 cal plinker. Good weight and one of the most acurate handguns I have ever shot and i own match grade barrel equiped 1911s. Almost no muzzle flip too.

Momma, I just bought my wife a Ruger LCR 357 mag for a CCW. Ruger makes the same revolver in four sizes, .22LR, 9mm luger, .38 special, and 357 mag. The only reason she chose 357 over 9mm, is because she has the option to shoot .38 spec +p/regular .38 special rounds thru it along with 357 mag, so she has more options for ammo. She shot 1...."1" 357 mag thru it, decided she wasn't ready for it, plus it hurt her hand after it fired and then chose to shoot only .38 spec rounds the rest of the time. I shot off the other 149 rounds of 357 ammo, it was awesome, that little gun is so loud and the percussion from the 357 when it fires is ridiculous. Another thing about the 9mm (which wasn't really a deal breaker) is that because the 9mm is a rimless cartridge it needs moon clips for loading into the chamber. Plus with the 357, so much more killing power over the 9mm and .38 special. The Ruger LCR has a better trigger than the lady smith and airweights. It's a frictionless trigger and is smooth pull all the way thru, it is hammerless also, all black, and is a j frame model also. You have the option to change the front sight out, you can install a full size grip which is what I'm gonna do with her revolver. If I were you, I'd look into the .22 model Ruger LCR.

That LCR would be a feisty little guy with full load 357 mag rounds! That's what I like to call a fist full of firepower.

Oh, it'll getcha if you ain't careful. It likes to jump a lot with 357, but I mean come on, what do you expect with a 1.8" barrel. It shoots .38 spec so smooth though, it's like night and day, totally different and extremely controllable, accurate too. Once I got my sight picture down I have no problem shooting 357 or .38 ammo, all the same to me...just a little more umph behind it with the bigger caliber bullet.

The Chinese are getting into the bottom feeder market and the geyscano mod is the first regulated mod to hit the market. It is supposedly 50W with 13 ml bottle. Doesn't look too bad.

Terrible name though[emoji47]

Hmm, imagen that. Almost..."almost" an exact copy of a grand. Plus, it looks like the DNA modded grands that custom-classic has modded himself except his control buttons are on the opposite side of this one. Custom-classic has all his control buttons/screen on the bottle side of his grands.

Idk man, it looks interesting but I'm a Reo only dude, and I love the mechanicals over the VV/VW mods. You're right about the name, it does suck...they could of named it "almost a reo" or "not quite grand".

I'm with you there. I'm a mechanical dude also but I am looking at this from the perspective of how to grow the bottom fed community and I think mods like this fill that need. Most new vapers won't spring for a reo due to cost of entry. Most end up with some Chinese regulated box mod anyways. If we get more bf mods on the market then we will have more bf attys available from manufacturers. My 2c.

As promised pic of Steampunk button. This button will look good with any topper...SS, brass, copper and black. Love how button starts black at the bottom of the button and gradually going to crystal clear, which I can't take a good pic of this with my cell camera.

I did have to use an exacto knife to fit and 2 strips of flat dental floss to keep it from tilting when firing. Now it fits perfectly and no movement.
Note....Round dental floss didn't work.

Yes the flat waxed floss is the ticket on the resins if they get stretched out.

Looks great[emoji106]

No not bad looking and love that's its a regulated squonker...but i have never had any luck with any VW China mods. I buy mods only made with USA chips or USA made box mods. But I'm hearing YIHI chip has stepped up their game...so there maybe hope.

Very true, however with people such as yourself and Tom over there at catfish atty mods, we still do have some other options, still a bit limited but word is slowly getting around.

I'm American, I serve my country as a member of the USAF, I like buying things made right here in USA, and I trust the products I've selected.

If that mod fails, what type of customer service are they gonna have? Are we gonna have to call some 1-800 number only to talk to someone who probably speaks very little English or knows very little about the products were calling about. How's the QC of their products, was it tested and inspected for quality control? Will they warranty their product if it fails within the first year? Will there be parts available or will it become a brick once it craps out? Too many questions, and frankly not worth my time. I don't care if people hate against reos cause they wanna vape off their tube mod or regulated mod, that's fine by me. Leaves me more of a picking when I decide I want to get another grand or new resin mod. Robs atomizers work just fine for me, if not I'll snag another cyclone or try out an Odin.

I don't mean to sound naïve but honestly, I've found my vape nirvana. Nothing I touch or vape is gonna make my experience any better than it already is. Your buttons are sick as you know what!! So happy I stubbled onto your thread, Toms BF atties are awesome and the possibilities over there are almost endless. That dudes gotta be a wizard or something, either that or a genius! Again, it looks interesting...hopefully your right and it gets more people into the bottom fed scene, maybe the rest of the vape community will push for it and create more BF atomizers. So far, that's really what the BF community is really lacking in.

with the dna40 failure rates lately I'm not so sure I would want one of those right now...

......Says the guy with one sitting on his work bench waiting for a mod to be built[emoji47]

I general I agree though USA made is the best way to go all around.
