Tom, sounds like time to invest in a snowblower!:thumb: I bet your son would be a good partner on it.....especially when you tell him he could do 4-5 walks an hour;)
Trust me if I had a garage I would have a huge snowblower.

I told my thirteen year old son he could go shovel walks for $15 a piece but even he said no way. We had the talk about earning a living and self reliance, and the part about without good grades and a strong education he will more than likely have to do such jobs to provide a decent life for himself and his family. He started doing his homework that will be assigned when he returns to school AFTER his family is taken care of.

I feel for today's adolescent generation, with the spike of minimum wage most of them will struggle to find jobs as a great many of them will already be taken by the unmotivated 20 and 30 somethings. I'm hoping education coupled with toughness and common sense will give him a fighting chance. I have noticed that most kids of his generation have a great propensity towards being weasels with no honor. I'm trying to stem that tide with him. So far so good. I'm incredibly proud.

Tom, the education is paramount in today's day, keep him on the straight and narrow with it, along with good common sense and a sense of community, I'm sure he'll go far

Ok so I can't get a good picture to show what I'm talking about so i'll just use a photoshoot image, but I just want to say that the black edition Stumpy RDA has some of the best machining I've ever seen on an atomizer. I mean it's literally the best I've seen. Tom, if you can pass that on to the modder please. I mean maybe it's just mine, but absolutely every edge is perfect. I've seen a couple of earlier Stumpys and they looked nice, but for some reason this one looks above and beyond. I don't know if it's the the black accenting how good it is or what. Since I don't have access to those earlier Stumpys I can't compare, but I just remember them being good, but not remarkable.

I still like the vape off my Narda better, but the machining is not even close to my black Stumpy, and the vape is right on par with the best atties I've used.

I just was so impressed I had to tell some folks that might appreciate it.

Oh and thank you Tom for getting these and converting them for us.

later,
Kentastico

I got the Catfish edition SS a couple of weeks ago & thought the exact same thing. Perfect. I also agree that the NarDa is a better vape but not by much.

you can pop an o-ring off, wet a piece of thread with some juice(or spit :p ) and put a few wraps of thread in the groove then put the oring back on to tighten it up. can also use dental floss which wouldn't so much require wetting it with juice but I like thread because it's a bit finer to really fine tune the tightness by just varying the length a bit...

Has anyone found it necessary to put fatter o-rings on their Stumpy? My top piece seems to want to pop off at the slightest provocation. What size are the stock ones and does anyone have a recommendation for a size to try?


Master of Bassets...and not much else
Stumpy o-ring sizes
AFC oring 1mm X 13mm metric buna-n 70
Cap oring - 1mm X 15mm metric buna-n 70
DT adapter - 1mm thick X 6mm O. D. 75 durometer

Hi guys...Just managed to grab a CAM-M from the classies, and I should have it in a couple of days or so. I'm curious though ..How does one manage to switch bottles and tubes on it? Is there any tutorial or tips of some sort on youtube or elsewhere on using and maintaining the mod? Thanks.

That one I believe was mine by way of skillz, it is very easy to chand bottles and the tubing . To attach thebottle with the tubing to the mod angle at a 45 degrees and it will slide right on and when changing tubing you just slide it through the hole in the cap on the bottle. To maintain the mod the only thing you have to do is clean the copper fire button. There are 4 plastic screws inside top of mod remove then you can access the button. I used alcohol to clean it then added some dexoit gold and reassemble and you are done. I would clean it about every 4 to 5 days.

youll do fine but your fingers wont get nowhere near the place the tubing goes in this one brother.its an eyeball type deal,but after a time or 2 you will get it.some things in life you may need fingers for....this wont be 1 of them...lol.the battlife is great with the CAM-M.when ya put your batts in you dont have to tighten the screws down like a lugnut on a wheel but just a lil bit.it you leave a round mark in the bottom of the batt id say ya went a lil too tight.with the bottle fitment it may be good to try a dry run and then youll see the manipulation itll take when ya have juice in it.too full of bottle will make a lil mess also.i usually only put maybe 3/4 full.-Rick

I usually use a pair of hemostats to guide the tube on and off of the nipple. It makes life easier for those of us in the "fat finger" club [emoji6]

Let's say March $375 +/- 50. I should have a better idea of cost late this week.
