It's fine for me, but anyone not wanting an anchor needs to know before investing that kind of cabbage... doubles as a good defensive weapon.
I'm happy with the Medium size, looks good & works perfectly.

I'm a big guy and I have several 26650 mechs and of course the Woody so I'm used to the boat anchors!
Bring that baby on!
I squonk through a lot of juice in my Grand!
15ml.....If I vape like I do when I'm not at work, it will still last almost 2 days!
I am waiting to hear from Dready to see if he can do Titanium...it's sooooo light!
I mean I vape like a freight train, and when I saw his mods I went nutzo, and when I saw the 26650 w/ 15ml juicer...DONE! Where do I sign up!
American ingenuity and workmanship!
the ti tore up tom's machines too much, he said he could charge $1000 and still be at a loss so they have been discontinued.
copper was a limited run too
available are the aluminiums, brass, bronze, and he said if you can find magnesium he'd do that
Yea, if you want Ti your going to have to pay the EDM guy to make the holes... Very cost prohibitive. $1.000.00 would be the starting point.
I'll say one thing for the Ti though after having one for a while. It doesn't oxidize hardly at all. I haven't even thought about cleaning it yet and it still looks like the day I bought it.
And just FYI for you guys with aluminum, stay away from dish washer detergent. It will turn it black. I'm not sure about the hand wash stuff.

Most (all?) of his work is not paint. It's a controlled patina process using chemical reaction with the metal (Patina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). Then the reaction is neutralized and it's clear coated to protect it.
Each will be one of a kind. Repeats may be similar, but no 2 will be exactly the same.
As others have mentioned, the Titanium option is no more.
I'm sure he'd do it for the right price, but you don't sound like someone in a position to pay it
(X-Puppy, I'm thinking more like $1500, maybe even 2k)

It may help you to know that the firing button is stiff and takes a good press to make it work. I went with the medium button, but i have a long history as a button-masher and so it suits me.
Little, gentle presses will not do it. My button protrudes above the mod top by about 1/4", which is about on a par with other things i use.

Mine is the medium or regular. Very happy with it. The throw is nice. He lightened mine to accommodate my arthritis. Having #2 done the same [emoji4]

i have the short button. works just fine for me. though, someone without strong thumbs may disagree. then again, that's likely to be the case for any of toms buttons. they're hard to push.
dready does have an ink (paint?) he's been using. that's how he's been able to customize SS and alum. the colors i've seen (like the purple and wood grain) have really been outstanding and popped!!! matter of fact, he's mentioned offering some dready pekos which are 3d printed plastic.
Guess I didn't pay close enough attention then.
Still, that's not the look that ItTechy expressed interest in earlier.

dunno. dready's pretty talented. might be able to make it work. worth the conversation a the very least.
A yup!
Titanium is a muther to machine!
Special tool bits and different machining speeds....
It's hard to believe something that light is so strong!
Hey sorry I've been a little hard to get ahold of lately..big fore, evacuations my house almost burned down.
As for buttons you guys realize the difference between the contacts in the mods your used to using and mine, it's a lot thicker/wider etc so it's going to be a little harder. It's the price you gotta pay for connectivity . You can bend your contacts, there's things I can a do too but it doubles as a safety feature so it's gotta be at your own risk. And I mean common it's not really that hard, I test fire every mod befo re I ship it none are harder than any others it's just that it's a big contact, which is one of the paramount reasons my mods hit harder than those other things as well. It's a bit of a compromise.

Scary sh there! My family once had a house fire and i never saw my father move so fast in his life. Minimal damage i hope.
i'm quite happy with the button on mine. I mention the stiffness not as a drawback, because it isn't one, but because if you come from a background of other mods you are going to be surprised (for a day or two perhaps) how hard you can press it with no damage!

Yes, you get used to the button very quickly. Makes firing other mods seem a bit flimsy, tbh.
Oh crap Tom! Hope everyone is ok and your home is not too terribly damaged. Be safe!
And I like my button too.

I am with everyone else!hope all is ok at your place man and I too got used to the button superfast.specially after I figured out the small pos end of the battery was why it was super hard to get contact.when reverded and the wide open negative side on the buttonside it was way easier to make contact.I MISS MY TMOD!!!did I really need to send it back....no..... but man its gonna be sweet when I get it back compared to how it was neglected by...or loved unusually hard maybe by the last owner..lol.take your time Tom but hurry up ..ha ha ha.
