Memo to all Catfish officianados: Over the last few weeks business and life necessities have spiked. As most of you are aware I have no helpers, no employees I'm just one guy trying to balance the support of about 500 bottom feeding customers, the needs of an incredibly athletic 14 year old boy, and keeping myself alive long enough to see him graduate. Plain and simple each LBC I produce takes about 3 hours start to finish, each atty takes from 10 minutes to an hour is some extreme cases. Please understand that while I do try to keep up with everything I am human and more accurately just 1 human at that I have other responsibilities that must be attended to. Most of the time I will sacrifice sleep to keep everyone happy but at times even not sleeping for days on end still isn't enough. Please bear with me and please understand that if I do seem a little harsh at times it's simply because I'm exausted and don't have the energy or inclination to remain politically correct.

Btw: This post is not directed towards anyone in particular. I love you all and completely understand you have lives away from bottom feeding, more often than not; I don't.

Speaking for myself and I'm sure others would agree here. I fully appreciate what you're doing and the difficulties you're facing trying to balance the various things in your life. Your family and well being should always come first. That's why we work in the first place. So don't deprive yourself of sleep just to finish an order on time or feel bad because you had to spend time with your son and let the deadline slide. A few days delay won't kill us.

Authentic and bottom fed for clone BF money. Stumpy meets the Drifter, with better hardware and bottom fed this thing could be a contender... What say you class? Should we do them? I haven't gotten pricing yet but for a sub $50 atty this looks like a crowd pleaser. Who would be in for one with a tentative price of $45?

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, sry. What's the draw like on the M atty?

Very smooth and open and the AFC and the airholes are cut in a way that enables you to control its width and angle without whistling. So it ranges from airy to restricted. it's built for dual coils though.

I agree with everything Tamer and James said. Tom, you're the best! What you do for us amidst trying to work long hours on your real job and take care of family too is just incredible. I don't know how you do it. Please don't make yourself sick on our account! Do try to fit some sleep in there, too.

Thanks guys! I wasn't mining for self-esteem just letting you know why some times why I might be slow on the draw in both shipping and responding to comments and emails. This venture has made me fully aware of what I am and more importantly what I am not. I am honest and try to make everyone happy however I would make a crappy politician. Think Putin crossed with Jack Nicholson in "As Good as it Gets". Scary? Right?

Oh, by the way, Tom, you must have some magic with the post office. They moved my LBC through at lightning speed! I looked at past tracking from stuff I bought from you and it's very possible my LBC and Goon might actually be here tomorrow! I'll be anxious to see in the morning if it hit Austin.

What attys have you used recently? I need some data to compare and contrast to. Compared to a Goon wide open the m is a tootle puffer, compared to a Cyclone it's a cloud atty. If you are more of a middle of the road air guy (myself included) the m or m clone is right there with the Narda, the Stumpy, the Maker and most of the other attys I work with barring the Petri, the Goon, and the Stillare4.

Threats of naked pics of the postmaster worked? I'll have to remember that. (Note to self)

A bit airier than the Narda though

I use the Goon in single coil mode with a parallel coil most of the time, wide open. I use the Stumpy with a parallel, with a Crispy Cap Flav Chuff. I just got a Odin v2. Using it with duals, air wide open. It's a bit tight, but it's a damn good vape. When the Tug gets back I'll use it with duals & a DHD topper
