lol... my PP was stocked with Tom's money as well before the weekend. Then I spent it all, and then some, on a Poldiac and Overone rda from MMV. I then unloaded a bunch of clone gear over the weekend and PP again is Derringer-ready. I'm not touching it this time, really.

Can someone get me up to speed on when certain attys will be available? I saw the Vengeance is coming up soon, and the Derringer is 2 weeks away. Any news about the Lancia? The Hornet?
Turk, can you put me on the list for a Hornet with VA pins? Thanks for keeping the lists. Great job!

Thanks Turk for keeping us all in line 
Appreciate what you do!! Tom, I'm fine with prepayment. Just let me know I should have you on a consultation retainer anyway

The lancia is ready to ship if you don't mind that it comes with a clear plastic tube instead of glass. I have blue glass and green glass on the way, I will be sending one off to spectrum to have them fitted with Pyrex tubes and o-rings. $45 the way they are or with blue or green glass when it arrives, pyrex version to be determined after spectrum sends me a bill.
The Vengence is in Cincinati in customs and should be here tomorrow.
The hornet, Pda, and cyclones are here and I'm prepping them one by one as they are ordered as there are options.
This forum moves fast.... My combination of Tourette's, ADD and autism don't help I'm sure. This forum is very much like my mind; total chaos but packed with information mostly useless but packed all the same.
just one hornet? Lancia? Vengence? Derringer?

Tom.. I hope you won't hate me for this, but is there a way you could (easily) turn the next round of Derringer's into a V1.2? See here Instagram
That has been my only minor complaint about the D. If the center post were slotted, center posting would be oh so much easier.

Hey Tom, so would it be possible to order the glass tube for the Lancia at a future date? I'm not exactly sure about glass. On the one hand, I don't have any juice that eats through poly plus I've broken my fair share of glass tubes. On the other hand, you never know when you will need glass.
Is the vengeance $45 as well? How much are the hornets with low hole center posts?

Wait... What? Ss center pins? I might have to rethink some stuff... I can drill those in no time. Maybe I will save my posts for clones. What do you think? Should I drill the new SS factory center posts or continue with the version 1 posts?
That's the beauty of B-Fing, the only juice in the chamber is in the wick, shorter wick= one good hit, longer wicks you could get two or three depending on how much wick you use. I'm a short wick guy, just enough to touch the deck from both sides of the coil.
The Vengence was slated at $53 but I'm thinking I will drop it a little. These are infinite, they are very proud of their clones. My cost on the Vengence is almost double that of any other clones. I will look closely at them tomorrow.
The Hornet and Pda are $55 as they come (bottom fed, high juice holes, big bore, but small juice vent.) or for an extra $15 I will install a 2014 cyclone post with big and low juice vents. I also drill the neg post to match the bigger va pin positive holes. With the va pin it's like the best of the old (coned deck) and the best of the new, big holes, low holes.

So the ones you get will probably be this updated one? Hmm.
I still kinda feel like your version is better cause you solved the bottom fed/ spinning post problem!
Those slots are cool, but to me, not useful. I could care less. I just want mine to be spin free and Sqounk like a beast with that HUGE bore!!
Edit: yeah seriously I don't care which you choose, just please, for me make that 510 bore as big as you possibly freakin CAN!!! The first run was awesome with those gaping holes. I'd like mine like that or even bigger!

The ch v1 was 2.2mm centerbore if I drill the stock pins I could go as far as 2.36mm. I don't think the stock pins will spin, mine spun at first partial due to me threading them in under pressure the first time, I learned..... Instal bushing on the post first,then press the whole assembly in to place adjust as needed. My biggest problem was getting the pins exactly the right length. The Derringer is very sensitive to pos pole length. My posts were 1mm too long, I had to start over. My current posts are the critical measurement +/- .1mm. My shortest pin vs my longest pin has a variance of 2/10ths of a mm that's the thickness of 3-4 sheets of cheap notebook paper. Can you say gnats ...?
Big bits last a lot longer than tiny 1/16" and smaller bits. Lately due to my increased accuracy I have been drilling Bigger and bigger bores. Even the new version of the lancia has a 2.24mm bore and 1.6 vents. The Lancia is sick! I'm waiting to push them until the LP woodviles come out. Sick right!

Hmmmmm my initial thought was the new version would be the way to go, but after hearing the info on the larger bore it may be a toss up. Maybe you could bore the new center post??
I'm good with the CH Derringer V1 post. It works like a champ and keeps the factory pin unmolested in the highly unlikely event anyone wants to convert it back.
Isn't it copper though? I'm sure that I'm probably overthinking this but theoretically, couldn't copper leach?
That's a good point. I could have his bottom fed pin and a stock non b/f pin.
....the more I think about it I would NEVER use a stock pin anyway. So yeah Tom, if you like the stock ones, go all out.
But... if it's not too much to ask... if the stock pin can't be drilled to 2.2mm and UP, I'll want your modified pins. Sorry as you can hear I'm all about that gaping bore. This is what initially made me want to buy one from you!! So let me know!

So can you tell me when you've finalized the price on the Vengeance? I'd like to order all 3 (Lancia, Hornet and Vengeance) in one go and have them shipped together. Thank you sir
Tom replaced the copper post with a SS post of his own creation for the first run.
That is correct. Wanting to avoid second shipping charge. I can wait for them.
