I'm not here to judge; that's my X wife's job.

And crickets.... Too soon.

How the powders coming along, Tom?

 

[mrwilliams2]

Any M Atty's available?

No disagreement there.

Doesn't even have to be X...

 

[BK_Malik]

I'm looking for a Goon squonk pin. Any help?

Moving along, slower than anticipated.

I have a few left.

I've spent the last couple days reading and reading these catfish pages. It sure seems that a better owner for customer service cannot be found. I don't have the money at the moment for a mod but I'm curious if there is any single place where there is a list of the mods you make. I know it's limited availability and think I know about how the lists work. I hope this isn't an ignorant question.

I've never owned a squonker but have been vaping for quite a while. Thanks in advance. Jeff

I took the leap & ordered a enclosure & a sled to make my own parallel squonk box. I'm going to order a Varitube BF 510. Now I just have to figure out how the heck I'm going to machine it. LOL

Are the black ChiNardas on the horizon?

 

[custom-classic]

Also,....where da Stumpy II's at?

Heard anything, Tom?

I can't even find a clone Stumpy out there anywhere....

They are however I'm currently a little apprehensive in thinking I may have already saturated my market. Perhaps I should do a list? Part of the issue is that the Chi-Nard0 will only be available here on ECF and via email. I will not run anymore lists on Facebook; I will offer Facebook the leftovers on authentics only after ECF has gotten their fill. In a large part it comes down to economics as well. To make the CNO feasible I need to be able to move 100 or more of them due to the cost of the pvd coating; pvd coating is still a relatively new process and the equipment and materials remain expensive not to mention very labor intensive on my end; imagine taking apart 100 or more NarDas to their most basic of parts, not to mention the precise machining of every cap and refinishing before they can be sent off to be coated. I want to do them and plan to do them but please understand this is actually a major undertaking.

Harry and I have both been very busy on our own projects but I need to speak to him on a number of topics one of which is the stumpy2/ Acorn as well as bezel and door final prints for the LBC junior. Initially I was going to use the same bezel that was used on the LBC but the 3D print for that version looked goofy, tall and skinny.

So far there have only been 2 production mods and the first on was more of an experimental proof of concept (Cam-M). The second and actually production mod was the current LBC.

I will say in regards to the Cam-M with the current update that I'm doing on them it actually makes the Cam-M a contender. Look for Hildicat's review in a few days, I did a prototype for myself and 2 that he sent in, perhaps at some point I will revisit the concept; but I can tell you this much the cam-my revised is the best $150 mod that I have ever used, hits like a schoolbus, and it's as small as it can possibly be and tough as nails.... NOW. no more leaks, no more funky 510 bushing, and now that the contacts stay dry much much less maintenance, like 90% less. The LBC Jr will be available as soon as I can get all the parts together. I did mention the LBC Jr will be offered primarily in black ultem and regular ultem 1000 (urine colored ultem). Personally my biggest complaint with the LBC is it's just too heavy, I'm just hoping the Jr wouldn't be too light and too small for my peeps. We'll see.

If you insist on only a pin there is a guy in France that's selling them. I deal with goons but the wholesale to retail price pays for most of the conversion, if I were to offer pins only the price would be outrageous. Every atty I mod, pin or otherwise is done by hand not via a CNC mill and or CNC lathe and working for $4 an hour just isn't going to happen. Sorry; buy a complete BF atty or talk to the guy in France.

Thanks so much. Sounds like I best keep a close eye to the goings on here the Cam-M V2 and the mini sound great as my intro to squonking.

Completely understand. That's a big mess of work and I agree with the hesitation.

Thanks for the rundown and explanation.
