Nice work, Ross!

That is exactly what I do, with regards to the little piece of SB to get all the way to the bottom of the bores. I do clip the little metal nub off the end of the bore mop to get a little deeper with it. Haven't had on come apart yet.

Just awesome!

You reminded me that I need to do the same this week, while I am cleaning and re-coil, waxing, and polishing before vape Showcase in Atlanta next weekend.

We can haz pichers of vape Showcase?

Also,...that's a really nice drill ya have there, Ross!

Yep, awesome little drill. Guess what's in the battery pack? Right -- three 18650s.

How come you never told us this and I had to re-invent the wheel?

I was debating doing that... Guess I'll try it next time.

How many bore mops do you go through doing this? All three of mine look pretty grungy after two mods. I used one to do the cleaning/polishing with the Simichrome, a second to remove the excess polish, and a third to apply Ren Wax.

Yes, I did say two mods. Stand by. More pictures coming.

What size mops are those again?

Trade secrets, man!!!


Not really... I just never thought to mention it.

I'm glad you did, tho.

I wash the bore mops out with Dawn after I'm done. I reuse 'em over an' over. They last a good long time.

12ga

Mine were labelled 10-12 gauge. Amazon has a 3-pak for $9.99 prime, but they could probably be gotten for less.

Ha -- gonna try that!

Sure! How many is too much?

 

[custom-classic]

No such thing as too many pichers...

This was my first CeeCee; the first one Corey made in Copper, and for a long time, it was the only one he'd made in that material. His exact comment was:

Who'd o' thought that metal so soft could wreak such havoc on tooling, machinery,... and patience.....

Anyway, as everyone knows, copper does get some patina on it after a while. In its early stages, it can look quite interesting, but eventually, it gets kinda grungy looking, like this:

Although I've kept the contracts clean, I hadn't done the outside of this one in quite some time, and the bores, well..... Never. Unfortunately, the "before" picture of the bore ended up hideously out-of-focus so I won't post it here.

Here's the little pad of Scotch-Brite in the bottom, along with some Simichrome paste.

Resulting in a somewhat cleaner bore:

And the end-results:

Two mods that look almost like new:

You can skip anything that's got a rigid tank and can't be squonked.

Well, that should be easy enough. SVA, Meraki SQ, and JB Woodworks exclusive pics then.

Really nice work, Ross!

Dang, those look sharp!

 

[penguiness]

Which also means you won't get to see my custom mod with many untold hours of hand engraving on the tube.

 

[custom-classic]

I would like to see it.

Well, if it was custom made for you....
