I spent hours today looking for my favorite tootle puffing mod - lost my istick 20 and nautilas. It has to be here somewhere. I like to carry that one around the house when I'm cleaning cause hubby don't like big clouds ..... oh well - it will show up one day:):)
Lol....I pull out my Provari and a Protank every once in a while when I need a little extra nicotine.

I usually have mine out everyday because I like the throat hit and like the way it vapes and I have coconut in it. Right now Im vaping some kind of fruit that taste like perfume - I think its melons and not very good and its hard to get the taste out of the tank - argh:(:(

Try soaking it in white vinegar after you rinse it out, and don't forget to make sure the o rings get a soak, too

Thanks - I never tried vinegar so I will give that a try. I have a small jar of vodka that I usually soak them in that helps a little but I will give the vinegar a go:)

It's still early days but I said I would show you how it's going.

I have a nice sheet of pewter to use for the final but until I get it right I am just practising on aluminium and I will still need to fill in the back and stabilise it on some velum. But it's a nice effect

I think, depending on the grade, I would prefer the aluminum over the pewter :p

That's pretty awesome! Looks very nice. I tried making some juice for the first time today. I'd say your results are better! lol

I don't quite know yet. I can polish the pewter, the aluminium will always be brushed finish.
do you have a dremel?
If so, you can sand the aluminum down with super fine grit, then buff with a dremel polishing disk, and get a mirror finish out of it......

ROFL. I DIY and I mix up a batch of concentrate then use that for my mixing. Last lot I mixed I made a complete hash of it and ended up having to mix a total of 500ml of concentrates to fix it. I hope I never go off that flavour. :p

I think I am working too thin a sheet to do that. The sheet is only .3mm thick so that by the time I stalibize the raised section I don't have enough room. The BB panels are only .5 including glue tape.

We are completely set up to buff and polish (from the wood working) so have the tools.

Wow...I only tried 10 mls since it was my first time. It's not completely horrible. I can vape it. And it hasn't steeped at all. I'm letting it sit in some warm water for a little bit to see what that does.

I have pretty much vaped the same 4 eliquids for the entire 4 odd years I have vaped. We can't buy eliquid with nicotine in it so DIY was the only way to get eliquid at a reasonable cost. When I started no country would ship to us....much easier now.:p

maybe just try doing the buffer wheel with a good polishing compound, could work :p
either way, even brushed finish It looks really cool
