Hi everyone. Just stopping in to say "Happy Thanksgiving". I am cooking up a storm and probably won't finish til the deserts are done in the a.m. Then a 4 hr nap and up and cooking again.

Oh Bert, this morning I picked up my reo to vape and noticed that my new 306 is broke. I will probably get it, along with the other one I pm'd ya about last month, and mail to ya next week. I'll fill out a repair order.

See ya'll Friday if'n I can drag myself outta the bed, lol.

Don't wear yourself out where you can't enjoy the day! Happy Thanksgiving to you and all the Tripsters!

Thick sliced bacon..... mmmmm.... dh cooks most of our bacon and sausage on the grill. Gives it a totally better taste and doesn't grease up the kitchen. Maple flavored sausage is da bomb!

You could probably polish the ends with that, but that adds heat stress. I can't stress enough how important this is.
1)Polish to get rid of dust/particles/micro cracks
2)Anneal to re-strengthen glass in a KILN!
There's a tube snapping demo on openlabglass.com that I made my shopmate make after he gouged his thumb out scoring and snapping a tube...which he had been doing for years...just sayin' please be careful, or better yet let me do it for you.



flame polishing, probably, annealing, no! you need a kiln.

OK Bert...I will forward the tubes to you.....your gonna' have a boat load :lol: .... so you can supply the Tripsters who wish to try this with various lengths? like 22 - 23 - 24 mm... I bought a torch...I'm not buying a kiln :glare:
Thank you for your generous offer Bert :)

i dont understand it..... not long ago i bought patti a new printer.. just a cheapy hp. it comes with ink and the ink that is being sold to replace is the same size but costs more than the printer itself. makes more sense to just go buy a new printer everytime we need ink. does this sound correct?

also whats really weird is the color is empty and the black is still like 90% full but needs both to print.

Usually the ink cartridges sold with the printer are just to get you started and only partly filled. Seems the cheapest printers up at the store always have the most expensive ink:facepalm:

I finally broke down a few years back and bought a NOS older discontinued printer, from before they had those chips on the carts that lock you out before they are empty and all that. The better printers that fall in this category demand a premium on ebay but you can buy knock off ink for like $1 a cart.

When I turned 18 a free Mach 3 razor kit showed up in the mail. They were more than willing to give me the handle and a few blades in hopes I would buy their expensive blades for the rest of my life. This is pretty much the same business model the printer companys use

Let me tell you something about that Mach 3 razor though, lol! When I was 18 my live in boyfriend got one in the mail. I stole it and it was the best razor I have ever used. You just can't put a price on never getting razor burn again. Lol!

OK, great! I will be happy to cut these up and polish them. Should I send them back to you for distribution or put them up in the same style as the buddy tips?

I suggest putting them up like buddy tips...... We will need to figure out the proper length as well....I have measured the ZEN, ZAP, iHybrid, Katana, Cobra .....the range is between 22mm - 24 mm But that is the way I see ME doing the MOD..... others may feel the tube should be longer/shorter.....But we are in no hurry and I am sure the length will sort itself out :) Thank you again Bert :toast:

Vintage,
LOTS of people have PMed, E-Mailed, and even TEXTED me about getting a dragon over to you. I had to let them all know that there is a VERY special one already in the works. I just wanted to share that there are many many people out there that care about you, and that you have a VERY fierce dragon in the works for you. Stay strong, and keep your spirits high.

Good info, Bert :) I see Bedazzle popped into the modding thread with a few similar warnings, too
