Caddy Shop

[oplholik]

Thanks krn. I see you are just "up the hill" from me. The wifes daughter lived up there for a few years.
Let me know when you are ready, and we will see what we can work up. I guess the mod obsession does eventually subside, I'm to the point where I think there is only 3 more I want. OOps, make that 4

Just a tip for ya. If you are looking for nice boxes for your accessories, you might take a look in your local cigar shop. Most sell their empty cigar boxes, and you might find a nice one or two at a reasonable price. If you also like the Spanish Cedar aroma, that will be a plus.

I still need a Provari Mini, P18350+, GG P&P, and receive my other two Zenesii.. xD Once I get them all (hopefully I'll be done with mods for a bit), I'll be able to graph paper some specifications. I'm just terrible at drawing with the computer.

Ok krn,sounds good. I never learned even the simplest cad type program, just can't seem to take the time to mess with it, and I'm a bit thick headed when it comes to that kind of thing anyway. so I do it all by hand.
Thanks for your interest.

wow, i'm completely blown away with the caddy you made for me. i can't thank you enough for taking the time with me to insure that it was perfect.

 

[oplholik]

Thanks for posting the pic N, glad you like it, enjoy. No more stuff rolling off on to the floor.

 

[oplholik]

Thank you all for your interest and orders. I have been swamped, but now there is light at the end of the tunnel. In about 2 weeks I will be heading to Texas for a couple weeks and need to get done what is already on the plate. So if anyone is thinking about ordering a caddy, I can't promise a reasonably fast turn around at this time. But still, if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me, and if you don't mind being put in line, we can work toward your caddy as time goes along. Of course while I'm gone I will still be here on ecf and monitoring the thread.

Thanks again everyone, very much appreciated.

Just a question..

How deep can you make the cape caddies?

 

[loft]

I just realized I never posted mine in here... lol. It's #1 in the photobucket link.

It's currently holding an old phone, Katana, Megalodon, and expansion tubes for each mod. I sold my GGTS but that's what it was originally designed around. (GGTS, GG Stealth, two holes for 20ml juice bottles, and cell phone holder)

Thanks for posting that loft.
As I see you around on the IKV thread, I'll ask you. I have been waiting for them to get going again as I wanted to get another io6, and try the IKV 510 1.8Ω LR atty. What is a good DT for the io6? I got the delrin DT but it's way too loose. It doesn't need to be fancy, just fit right.

 

[oplholik]

Normal thickness is 1-1/2". If the holes are sized properly, they will be deep enough to hold the pv's steady and upright. Did you have in mind a thicker caddy for a different reason?

[krnxguhj33]

I guess I'm just really clumsy and bump into my desk a lot.

But I'll get better measurements for my APVs before I ask more questions. :]

 

[oplholik]

Ok krn, if you have a question, ask anytime.

For fitment honestly I would go with either the Stainless tips that Isaac has, or one of his Silhouette tips. The Silhouette tips are a PITA to drip through, but the Stainless ones are a breeze. There are also io6 to 510 tubes which will let you use any 510 drip tip on it.

Thanks loft.

Thanks loft.

NP! Let me know when you have a little more availability... I want to order another caddy

 

[oplholik]

Not sure what you mean by availability. If you mean being more available for working on the caddies and getting them out in a more timely manner, that will probably be in about 4 weeks. I leave for Texas on the 13th of May and return on the 23rd. At this time I am working on the last of the orders now to make sure they go out before I go. I have a couple more that are in the background waiting to order. I can be working on layouts and working with customers to figure out just what they want and how they want it in the meantime, you know, the prelimanery stuff, and work on it as I can. I just can't guarantee much more than that at this time.

That basically is what I meant. I have several mods coming from overseas and the caddy I have now doesn't fit or won't fit them. They'll be too loose in the current holes. Plus, while the idea was to use the current one I have as a cell phone holder - my phone isn't able to be charged (lack of thought on my end to incorporate that into measurements) plus I want one that is dedicated to just my PV's. If possible I'd want one with a drawer for my SS mesh and kanthal wire... lol... think you could pull off a drawer?

 

[oplholik]

A drawer, I dunno. It would be difficult to put a drawer in the solid blocks like I make, but I have an idea for something I could do. I just need work up one as an experimental to see how it goes. I have a block cut for another idea I have and will do that one first as time allows. So we'll see what happens in the next month or so.
