Well Cyclin, I like the Pink, White and Purple in that order and I think Sedge likes the Blue ProVari...lol I keep asking him which ones we want to sell out of the four we have and he says none... We have two black ones and two silver satin finish ones...I think we need to sell some...Well the jury is out on me for the Purple, it might not be the right hue for me, but the Pink and White for sure! Honeslty I just don't know why you cant buy the tubes or sleeves alone, but then they wouldn't make as much$$$$$...

Haha hey I understand what's it's like to have your wife take over your favorite color PV... I understand having one for each of ya :D Go Sedge!

I liked the white, it kind of reminds me of Apple stuff before they started coming out with blacks. If they have a little darker blue than the picture I saw then I'd choose that one. Purple is a tough color to find the right shade of definately. I like the majestic, royal purples, and the Mrs just hates purple. Dunno why. Mrs seriously wants a Pink tho :D

Have you guys considered getting the blemished ones you showed us then having them powder-coated to the exact color you want? Probably be cheaper plus you'd get to choose your shade of color.

Thanks for the link! Dental appt. cancelled after I got there and discovered the new office doesn't have nitrous available and won't be having it. Now I am waiting on a referral to a new dentist. Sigh... 20 years with my dentist and then he brings in the new guy who starts running off the patients who require gas... Plus I am highly irritated at getting up at 5:00 to go to an appt that didn't happen!

Sun, my dentist does not use nitrous either. I have cavities to get filled and been putting it off. My HMO seems to have a crummy choice of dentists but I def. need to switch. Good luck!


Woohoo! So I finally got a raise here at work.. It's not much, but it did add 20% (20% of nothing is still..) and when I'm all situated in my new building I should get anther raise. Thank god. Been drowning lately

Congrats, Cycling! So glad to hear your good news. You deserve it, too,

GONRATS Cyclin!!!

Peace - I have a hard time selling anything .... but I know some new folks will love them and use them, so it's all good.

New mod TIME!!! This Eraser is so cool! Reminds me of that robot on Futurama ....

Good morning trippy nation!
Got my Katan today...am hoping I can learn how to wick it or else it will just sit here looking pretty.
Hot today...might be time to jump in the pool.
Oh my kitty got a new toy, courtesy of grandma. It's a fishing pole thing with a mouse on the end. Silly thing goes crazy chasing it around. Will be good for her as she needs to lose weight. Hey, you don't think they make those for humans? :lol:

I know a guy who will powder-coat them if you take the "guts" out, and you can get any color sent to him at "Powder by the Pound".
That's where I got the colors for "Goldie".

UV = I didn't get this one, Kami found it. :)
I actually saw some nice powder coat colors when I was picking up that air brush gun last week. They are for autobody purposes so they should work for PV's. Maybe I'll pick a container up on my way home and paint the Lavatube to test it out. Not saying I'll paint PV's for anybody or anything, you should still send it out. Just saying for $20 (One color paint + Mini Air Brush Sprayer) and a small air compressor you could probably do it yourself.

As for the Katana wicking... you should probably just give Blu a call and have her explain every last detail of the process :laugh:

My cup runneth over with love for my TrippyKin - and ESPECIALLY FOR SASHIE AND BERT!

:wub: :wub: :wub:

Sashie because she's just one of the loveliest, sweetest, most generous people I have had the pleasure to meet through ECF -- she was one of the first to gift a TrippyTip to me -- and today, long story short, she practically let me have her backup BP for next to nothing! I just wanted to yell my love or her from the rooftops and share with everyone what a terrific person with a heart of GOLD our Sashwa is! THANK YOU SASHIE

Now I can enjoy vV vaping whenever I want! :wub:

And Bert! OMG, I am in heaven with my RETRO Bert TIP! It is SUBLIME! :wub: It is the right size, height, fit, and just perfect for me in every way! Here it is, along with a free gorgeous clear yellow peanut I was able to grab - next to some of my other favorite trippy tips of the same petite size and shapes!

It's been such a heavenly day that I was inspired to make a TrippyTip Stairway to heaven shot! :laugh:

I know I love white electronics too! I am a white person though, I like pastel colors and white, not much into black anymore. One day I looked at my wardrobe and put a moritorium on it about 10 years ago and said to myself what am I attending a funeral on a daily basis? I need more color! I don't know about powder coating Sedge is a little leary about ripping the guts out of them...

Ultra all you require is a kitchen blow torch ........ blow torches are fun...it's like a pyro power tool
The mesh will be 400 or 325 ..... it will not matter unless your using 100%VG .... then you would require 325
wicks are intimidating at first..but after you roll your first, you will find they are not difficult at all..... it's sort of fun making them actually. your first one will take you 30 minutes....but then you find all that flame and and e-liquid burning can be done in about 5 minutes. As Blu suggested....follow Scotts' video to the letter, take no short cuts and you will have a good wick to introduce yourself to the Kat :)

Kami - I have had MORE than enough brass-polishing practice. LOL

I used to get $5 a belt buckle in San Diego before big inspections. LOL


UV - I have only used mesh wicks in mine ... you need some sort of torch then, a lighter isn't hot enough. They have them at Home Depot for about $20 for a small butane one.

Blu, will my flute polishing cloth work on Brass? It is two clothes in one, one to use on the beginning and one to finish it with, but its really for sterling silver... I tried it yesterday and it didn't seem to do much, but then again I didn't put a lot of elbow greese into it..

Thanks Kami and Blu. I will see what I can do with it. Is there a home depot anywhere close by, Blu?
Haven't checked the mail yet...hoping for vapemail. Am on the list for the orion, hope he PMs or emails to let me know when to pay. Oh and if/when anyone hears when the ZAPs are out, please let me know.
Kami, I saw your BOC and I must say I was impressed. Blu is very thoughtful.
Glad I have the windows open...it's gonna be a scorcher!
