Btw where can I buy that round pizza slicer paint brush you guys showed me, I got a good half-size roller & brush, & a couple of the foam brushes but neither Lowes or home depot has that.

FoamPRO Corner Paint Roller-3 WP - The Home Depot

Looks like a "Walking Dead" Audition?

Kiba, my profession is new construction and remodelling so we do a lot of painting, we never use those corner rollers (too old school). We use 4" rag rollers for corners and only dip the tip in the paint, about 2-!/2" of the tip. This puts ample paint in the corners and feathers out the paint thickness on the wall out about 3" from the corner, perfect for coming back with a standard 9" wall roller. Also, get yourself a Wooster Pelican paint bucket, best thing since sliced bread. The pelican has magnet to hold your brush, a built-in paint tray and lip to hold your 4"roller, a hand strap and replaceable plastic liners. My :2c:

ETA: if your walls are slick finished (no texture) use a 4" foam roller instead of the rag roller and cut off the round roller tip with scissors so it's flat on the end. First roll both sides of the wall corners, wall to ceiling transitions, wall to floor transitions and around window and door casings, then come back and roll the walls. We try to get within 1/4-3/8" of all those transitions so that cut in with the brush is faster.

TIP: 1 coat of paint is NEVER enough to cover regardless of which paint you choose.2 well controlled coats always look better.

TIP 2: Paint all window an door casings first. It's much easier to cut in a wall to a casing than the other way around.

always my favorite when it came to brushes ;)
We use Wooster or Purdy, both great products. I have 10yr. old brushes that are still in constant use.

Tip: A three hour soak in laquer thinner will allow easier removal of old latex and oil based paint that's stuck on the bristles near the ferrule.

My return registers are in my floor, against the wall, approximately 36" x 8" and I actually combined those small exhaust register filters into one to begin filtration there (because I always forget to change the filter inside/next to the HVAC unit). There's a decent length that the air has to travel to actually get to my unit even though I have a small bungalow house. I did this a while back and the report card I got back from my electric co. told me I was much more efficient than the previous year...and this was after making the switch to LED bulbs.

I'm a bit disappointed with the offerings for new 250c mods so far :(
Very limited selection, & not even one Lipo!
The Boxer looks good :) Dual 21700, but probably weeks maybe even months out still, & a bit spendy!
The Thinkvape is a triple 18650, The lost vape & the Rebel also dual 18650 offerings :(
I was hoping for some thing from Vapecige & Hcigar, their latest offerings have had their own proprietary Chips :(
Maybe it's still to early? You would think if they had a 250c planned they would want to get it out ASAP, before every one has bought one all ready?

It seemed like last year the DNA was every were! This year not so much :(
Am I missing any offerings? Any one know of a coming soon 250c mod?
Well here's hoping some new appealing to Me 250c is just around the corner?

    Hey @Steamer861 I can personally vouch for DIY Box Mod Kits and Supplies Canada - Analog Box Mods
    A fellow by the name of Dan, and in Montreal. He's touched/built (my shaky hand and old soldering iron) around 4 for me now. Kits start around $120 for the 250C. Everything from my Stabwood 250 to a 3D printed 75 (build video on YT).

    Thanks :)
    I have dealt with Dan, Great Guy :)
    I have a couple DIY'ed 250c here all ready :)
    I was hoping for, like a Vapecige Creator 250c with dual 21700's or a VT 250c with a big Lipo.
    I have a gift card @ FT, would cover about half of a China 250c & I don't like the Thinkvape or Lostvape offerings :(
    Still mite happen? Maybe I'm impatient :(
