If you are viewing this thread, you more than likely have sent an electronic cigarette device to Mike aka ChopperGuy for refinishing and have not received it back yet.
Mike had a acute hardship with his family a few months back. I am unsure of the exact date, and it is not my place to speak about the details. But it was an extreme shock to him, and would be devastating to just about anyone. A mutual friend and I were in contact with him shortly after it happened, and was for a few weeks after. Our mutual friend paid him a visit about 3 weeks ago. He seemed to be doing better and even told him he was planning on getting back into the shop in the next week or so. He contacted him again by phone several days later to ask him a question about something he was working on, and that was the last either of us spoke with him.
Friday, June 29, southern New Jersey had a natural disaster. At last count, 13 people had died from the incident, 75% of south Jersey was with out power, and two counties ended up in a state of emergency and had evacuations. Some residents still do not have power a week later. One of the counties was Salem county, which Mike lives in. Both our mutual friend and I attempted twice since the disaster to contact him, and have gotten no response. This is everything that I know about the status of Mike.
When I get more info I will post it. DO NOT PM ME ABOUT THIS AS I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! I am merely relaying what I know.
