Catfish atty mods.

[brookj1986]

See, I sold both my reos on the classies (as well as couple smaller atties... a reactor, much to Tom's chagrin). But I didn't do it because I didn't like them. Did it because I like the tmod more. Plus, my 2 Pekos were dominating the rotation and my reos weren't being used as regularly.

Figured they were the best items for me to sell to get the most the quickest.

I tend to agree with you RGLP, but I keep seeing that 4400mah and think how nice that kind of battery life would be. Also have no idea what I'd put on it for a topper.

Build a 26650 Peko! I've got everything ready, just waiting on the print. 4500mAh and still mechanical.

Alright, I've been around here less than usual lately, but seems this peko option is the real deal. That sounds awesome! Can you pm me a link if it can't be posted here? I'd love to order right away & do the rest of my reading up while I wait for it to come.

Turk, received a Mephisto today from CH, you can take one out of inventory if you haven't already. Thanks. Sorry I didn't update when the transaction occurred...

I'll PM you with that after a while. Tapatalk is flaking on me.

**********Derringer Update********

Houston we have a problem.....
Good news: the Derringers are paid for and on the way. The First group is scheduled to be here Wednesday.

Now the bad news: there was a limit of 50 Derringers per shop/company. I immediatly plea bargained for more which got us up to 75 pieces (out of 160). I went to the mat with Brett Reed (The outward face of praxis) around and around we went I tried nice, I tried snarky, I tried groveling, somewhere between snarky and groveling we came up with a few options. Long story short out of my 3 aces up my sleeve on of them paid off I got a second invoice today for another 50 pieces which brings us up to 125pieces but the problem is I need 160 to meet the full demand.

What that means to us: I have 54 Derringers for 89 slots and 67 people; no matter how you slice it people are going to be left out. My original thought is to impose a 1 atty limit across the board so all but 13 would have Derringers. Still that's 13 more than I'm happy with. This is why I don't do pre-payments.

I was assured there is going to be a March run of the Derringer that will be available before the end of March. I will lock down a number of attys on that run and will sell up to that number and take a few alternates. I should have know 170 Derringers was a lot to ask.

So let's be fair, what would you have me do? Fill the first 54 slots at full request? Limit of one atty for the first 54 people? Lottery, pin the tail? Bingo?
What say you? I'm working on a commitment of 100 for the March run from praxis but I haven't heard back to that regard yet.

 

[finagle69]

Oh wow. That's a delima. I say at the least, impose the 1 Atty per person.

 

[Chowderhead1972]

Or do I do it MB style and set a time and take the first payments that add up to 54 and refund the rest? I never liked that method.

 

[Mark Howard]

I'll PM you with that after a while. Tapatalk is flaking on me.

No need. Found It. Looks great, thanks!

 

[Graywolf1911]

I can wait till March...that is not a problem. I know it's only one, but it's a start.

I'm #68 so it doesn't matter to me how you go about it. Sorry you have to deal with this. But it's better than going the clone route IMHO

 

[Soignee]

I'm #85, and not in a hurry. But I'm not totally altruistic.

I'm down for imposing a one atty limit but if that fails...I can wait.

 

[Sloth Tonight]

+100 on this, coming from #59.

Do what you feel is right, brother catfish. I think it's safe to say you have the support of everyone here my friend.

 

[distortoblotto]

Tom, #28 here. I would gladly give up one of mine for a guaranteed spot on the March run. The only reason I say that is that I have two very specific mods in the works and I'd like one Derringer for each.

On another note and certainly not to be a pest, I am not caught up on the latest and would like to ask when the Hornets and PDA's are expected to be available.

Sorry that things didn't work out for you the way you hoped but hey, "It Is" the wonderful word of vaping. Some have to have it right now and for others such as myself, part of the fun is the chase............................

That said; I will not sell Derringer Clones however I will convert/mod clones or authentic send ins. Pricing is simple:
If it has a stainless pin and you want me to re-use your stock pin $20
If it has a brass or copper pin $30
If it has stainless but you want my pin anyhow $30

Your call sir.

If you limited it to the first 54 slots, would they get the spare caps and drip tips?

Where have you been? The Phillipinos came in early last week I have a few Hornets left and quite a few PDAs.

 

[quincas]

If I were you I'll be caught in a fix too. Not a good position to be in at all. If you decide to go the route of pay first get first, how would that be fair for some of us who live in a different time zone?

Even one atty per person is not the perfect solution especially if that person is buying an extra unit on behalf of someone else.

If you do it according to who joined the list first, it would seem the most fair (to me) as these are the folks that have waited the longest. (I think I'm #2 btw [emoji4]) of course these people can opt for the March shipment.

As others have said before me, do what you think is the most fair and right. It sucks, we all know.

 

[Chowderhead1972]

Your call sir.

If you limited it to the first 54 slots, would they get the spare caps and drip tips?

That's another issue, I asked about top caps and tips and my distributor gave me some jazz about black METAL caps, SS tips, white tips and brass tips. This evidently was right before they went home for the day. I immediatly sent a request for clarification as to if here will be Delrin caps and black tips. I really wanted this run to be a once and done affair but it just wasn't in the card apparently. I submitted my complete order (including 170 Derringers and ALL of the caps and tips from Turk's magic list and all I got was an invoice for 75 attys then another today for an additional 50.

 

[SeanMoore]

I'm way down on the list so me volunteering to wait won't help with the first 54 but I'd personally RATHER wait until I can get a SS CH modded Derringer with a factory SS drip tip. I'm ready to go with PayPal right now, always ready to go with other payment options but would like to have a couple weeks notice for any future PayPal obligations.

tl;dr: I have no idea how to buy one of these. I want a SS Derringer with a SS drip tip. I can wait.
