I agree.
There's 2 sides to this.
1. Chopper is not "addicted" to this or so obsessed that this forum or the "side work" he has lined up takes #1 priority. This is completely understandable and acceptable. He has a family and I see it daily when my vape time takes away from my family or work the repercussions that come about. He's basically doing us a favor for doing this at the prices he is. I've had things powder coated previously and he isn't tens of dollars cheaper, he's $100's cheaper. That being said if it takes time (read- longer than you would like) it should be acceptable to those who understand he has other priorities that put the food on his table and family. Those of you that don't think it's acceptable either do not have a family, don't understand what other priorities other than vaping are, or are just idiots who don't care.
2. This is all perception. Some who see this post under suppliers and see a service being offered may think this is 100% a full time business. There is pricing on services, what services are offered and how to obtain those services In that regard there is a "reasonable" amount of time a service should be rendered. It would be ridiculous for a mechanic to take a week to change the oil on a car...ect. So to some the perception is that they will send their units (yes I said unit) in and have a quick turnaround.
The truth is that as long as chopper wants to continue to do us the favor of polishing, powder coating, and other things to our devices and as long as expectations are set there should be no problems.
I messages chopper over a week ago regarding some work. I have not heard back. That is perfectly ok with me. It is not life or death that I get my provari powder coated NOW! And if/when I do send it to him (or deliver - only 2hrs away) he will be able to keep it until its done. I have backups and would rather it take 3 months to come out perfect than to be rushed in 1 week. This man may have a demanding job, a family that requires attention (which one doesn't?) and a LIFE outside of the fantasy land of ecf. As long as he's doing me the favor of making my stuff look awesome and at amazing prices - I can surely do him the favor of spending Time taking care of his responsibilities that actually matter to him.
It all boils down to idiots, perception, him doing us a favor, and respect.
If you can't respect the fact that this is a hobby and he does not live for ecf than you should take your equipment and complaints elsewhere.
To chopper - don't quit on those of us who understand and appreciate you for what you do.
To those with an issue - take your pv's and shove em. Don't ruin it for the rest of us who actually understand.
I don't usually chime in on stuff like this but I felt the need to this time.

Wow, you got some real nice mods coming back to you. Want to see some pics of them eventually.
Hey Washvap,
I am sorry to hear you haven't received your Grand
Hey Hola! Thanks, I miss it dearly but, I think it will be worth the wait.
Only asked for updates every once and awhile. In my mind, I just don't understand how that would be considered "trashing". Anyways, if your really taking it that way then I want to apologize. That wasn't my intention.
Hey, Chops! Just wanted to chime in and let you know that I really hope you continue to do your amazing work. I realize that this is just a side gig for you. Work and family definitely come first. Keep at it as long as it's fun for you in the larger sense. There will always be challenges as folks can get pretty passionate about their PV's... Most of us have kicked cigarettes in the not so distant past! All we can see are the posts in the forum, we don't have visibility to the PM's, emails etc that you are getting.
You do a great service for the community and I hope the work stays fun so we can all benefit from your talent.
Thanks Chop

Chopper is a good guy working hard. Cut him some slack.
I have seen you work first hand and it is amazing.

I gotta start reading these threads a little more often again. Chop's the man, not sure what set him off, it had to be more than this thread. Either way, its been put right already by those before me. So sit back, relax and smile knowing you will have your baby back when it is ready and it will look better then you ever imagined, I assure you.
i haven't been in for a while and also know chop is very busy with job and family and keep in mind its also prom time and i know he has a graduating child
Here is what I know, Chopper has helped a lot of people, never once making off with their item. So if it takes a while, it takes a while. I hope to have him do a project for me - it will be worth the wait.
Has he cooled off yet? I hope so, he does not have a mod of mine, but I know he has lots of fans, so I hope he can shake it off, and keep helping ppl and let the art do the talking. I mean seriously, doesnt iit take a long time to get a glv, or a grip, or any of the other highly sought after mods? Being u unique and one of a kind takes time. If u don't get that, just go by some nail decals and keep moving, don't ruin it for those who are patient and don't mind the wait.
Anyone heard anything from chopper in the last week? I've sent him 2 pms in the past few weeks, haven't heard back yet.
I talked to Chopper a couple days ago, he's been dealing with a couple things but is still working on getting everyone's mods done. Be patient and I have no doubt everything will be cool soon.
Chopper, just wanted to jump in and say that I can see everyone is sending you best wishes for WHATEVER is going on. We all have stuff...
I'm not waiting for a mod to be done, but I do follow this thread as I adore Chopper's work.
Happy Vapes to all~

Tuesday will mark 3 months since I mailed out my Apex and Provari to chopper. I'm not going to btch and complain, but I'm ......, and I have the right to be at this point. I was told that there'd be a 2 week turn around time, and with that being said, I would have been fine waiting as long as I had if chopper had sent me a photo update or at the VERY LEAST respond to my PMs. I just want my mods back, and frankly, a portion of my money. Before any fanboys jump in to defend chopper, consider how you'd feel if you payed $75 to send off $400 worth of PVs to have refinished and the retailer didn't lift a finger to try and communicate with you about their progress?
