I tried the church idea with battery extensions and it turned out to be a bad idea. I had the pipe short and collapsed the switch spring. Pipe is fine but now I have a hair trigger switch.

That is why I made the button the way I did . There are too many things that can cause a PV to short. Replacing a button is an easy and cost effective fix.

Damn good idea lrd!
I have a black lucite for you Jason. Well, black w/ silver flec. looks back though.

awesome!

And thanks for the tip lrd3!

Yea, I love how simplistic the pipes are. I can probably fix any minor issues with the wiring and whatnot myself.

What color is the stain on the pipe I sent you Matt, orange?

Yeah, like a burnt orange... kinda like the burning dragon.

Ok throw me in the que for that dublin in briar with that color and a mjolnir. Would it be possible to burn a little something on the mjolnir? It's for my wife for our anniversary.

I was thinking just "3 years" on the attie side of the cap.

That would be no problem at all Just send me an email with the custom requests. That is how I keep track of everything on the queue.

 

[Ionredline]

Do you want me to email the link to the dublin?

Do you want me to email the link to the dublin?

Yeah, That's probably a good idea too.

Sent with details, thanks Matt.

It's sad to hear about the lucite stems being a lost cause. I was really hoping for a nice new stem for my egg style lyptus pipe I got awhile back. My vulcanite is collecting a slew of tiny teeth divots, and I wanted to upgrade. Ah well, I'll happily wait and see what you have in store next.

On the topic of my pipe, I absolutely love it. I retired my VX when I got my M-401, and now I've retired my 401 and smoke my e-pipe exclusively. It looks beautiful, smokes wonderfully, and impresses everyone I've shown it to. I've had it for 3 months now, and I am still on my first atomizer. Performance has been excellent. Kudos to the magicians at Epipemods for making such a top notch instrument. I'll be getting a second one before the year is out.

I have a question about care. I notice the (wax?, oil?) finish on my pipe has slowly faded and I am down to original wood. I hold the thing in my hand almost constantly over the span of an evening at home, and over time it just slowly wore down. Is there something I can do to re-finish it?

Thanks.

I think they covered it before in this thread. You guys should really get a whole board. Your product deserves it. Anyway, just start back at the beginning, I think it's about 10 pages in. I read the whole thread before I started commenting. =P

(For tha lolz)

I wonder if this is useable on the pipes. Arango Briar Pipe Wipe

According to the directions you wet a cloth with it and let it soak in overnight. Then wipe the pipe with it.It is supposed to be safe for varnish and stain.

Thanks Data, I found it on page 21. "The Carnuba wax will dull to a satin finish. Keeping a high gloss on it would require a buffing wheel. you could get one from home depot pretty cheap and put it on a drill. It wouldn't take much work at all to buff it out (go light)"

I think i like my pipe too much to attack it with power tools. I will leave it as is.

Edit: and the information I was looking for was 2 sentences, 21 pages deep in a 46 page thread. I did skim everything since my last post months ago, but honestly, I don't have that kind of time.

Don't worry about dataphreaks post... he's a good guy and i think that was meant to be tongue in cheek anyway.
Glad you found the info in the thread I would have been happy to answer as well. The finish is basically the same as a traditional pipe. As such it will wear overtime and different woods will react differently. A carnuba wax bar and a buffing wheel is really the only way to bring back the original wet gloss.
Although I would give the Arango Briar Pipe Wipes that Ion mentioned a try. I see no issue with using them.
I may actually look for a similar product to add to the site

Nice to see you back Overwatch... I'm glad to hear your pipe is holding up well too! send me a PM and I'll see what can be done about a stem for you!

I was just reading a few pipe forums and a few people have had great results with favor furniture polish on real pipes. Supposedly it's the same ingredients as the briar polish. But, please don't take my word as law and try these things and blame me for killing your pipe.

I'm just relaying info from tobacco pipe forums on what they use.

I can't see much difference either Ion especially when you consider my pipes aren't even smoked out of...
But as you said don't blame me if...

Nice website..nice pipe mod

 

[Ionredline]

I'm going to hunt down the favor polish locally and give it a shot on my C2 since it's my work pipe I won't freak out if it goes wrong.
