Bonus pichers!!!!
Careful Bubba... It's easy to burn up an isolator that way. Just saying.That's the Battle Deck BD #2 silver post rda, Classy. It was a send in. They don't come with a BF option, for some reason. We fixed that.
Skillz wanted me to give it a shot, so he could use it on the mod I built for him this week. I'm anxious to hear how it works for him.
Someone say Patina ?
Not quite up to The.Drifter's standard (in either photography or patinaing
), but I'll be interested to see what this looks like after a week or two of use.

Looks Great BT
Lathe @ 200rpm, super small bites, back completely out after each small bite to make sure and clear chips. Painstakingly slow process. Never heated anything up at all. PEEK insulator on this one, as well.

That looks great!
You are not alone, my friend.
I have a stainless mod coming through this week. There's room for one more.
Good to see you here!

My second CeeCee is a 7075. I don't remember exactly when I got it, but it's been a while. Late 2015, I think. This mod has some miles on her. I've always kept the outside and the contacts and such in good shape, but last weekend, when I was doing normal maintenance, it occurred to be that I'd been neglecting the bores and they (particularly the one for the bottle) were getting pretty nasty:
So today, I decided to see what I could do with some tools:
Results:
Not perfect, but a heck an an improvement, no?
OK, the bore mop alone did not get down into the lower corners of that hole very well at all. So what I did is to cut a square of white (#7445) Scotch-Brite cleaning pad, stuck it in the bottom of the hole, and then used the drill and bore-mop to spin that.
FWIW, I actually like the white Scotch-Brite (or Bear-Tex) better than the gray that's the "recommended" stuff. The white "cleaning" pads are the least aggressive ones, while the recommended gray ones are the one step up in coarseness. You still get a brushed finish on the outside, but it's a bit more subtle, which feels better in the hand to me.

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.
