It's no secret, I like the Aromamizer Supremes I have ordered a 30mm from FT, It's been restocking since Dec 25th, But the price went up & I got it for 29.04 so I'm happy to wait for it.
I have a mod that I think will be real close to a no over hang situation. But it looks real close, & I wont know for sure till I get the new 30mm Supreme.
Since I'm OCD about my mods looking good, I'v been looking for a mod that will sit a 30mm atty nicely.
Now in a perfect world it would be a DNA250 with a huge Lipo.
So far this search has been fruitless I have found this $207.95 Authentic ATHENA Pride 75W TC VW APV Box Mod - 1-75W / 200-600'F(100-300'C) / 1*18650/26650 / stabilized wood + 314 stainless steel / random colors at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Unfortunately it's only a DNA75 with a 26650, witch just wont do
All thou it is one heck of a nice mod!
They say a Boxer will hold a 30mm atty with out over hang, But I think there way over priced for a 3D printed mod

This is what I have for the new 30mm. 30mm = 3cm, As you can see it's going to be real close. This mod isn't a 250, but at least it's 133 with dual 18650's
Fingers crossed it don't over hang, If it does I'm going to be searching!

Personally I don't care what my mods look like anymore, I use to want them to look like new but now I just want them to work perfectly without having to fuss with them. Those DNA 200 mods I was making for others using the Hammond boxes I spent a lot of hours making them look nice with the brushed finish, I made a couple like that for myself but rarely use them because I don't want to scratch them. Those that I made for myself lately I left the boxes raw except for the machine marks where I took the taper off the sides, guess you could call them beater mods that work great. I've come to look at it from the view they are going to get dinged and scratched anyways so why spend all that time to make them nice when in a month they'll looked used anyways. Some overhang wouldn't bother me a bit.

According to your ruler a 30mm atty will only overhang .5mm. Close enough for me.

Some times I wish I could be like you. But small stuff like that that bothers me!
On my vehicle to, the slightest imperfection & my eye sees nothing but it!
Not this one but, the last truck I had got a door ding first day!
99.9% brand new & all I would look at was the tiny door ding
Had to get it fixed!

I never worry about door dings because I always hit a deer within the first 3 weeks of owning a new vehicle. It's happened 3 times in a row now; the last time on the second day.

But yeah, I get it steamer, I'm a little OCD myself. Comes in handy when doing coil builds though.

I'll stick to sirloin, rare, unless the zombiepocalypse hits, thank you very much.

To me, cars/trucks are just a hunk of iron to be used until they need to be replaced 'cause fixing them is no longer cost efficient. As long as there's heat, AC, electric windows, cruise, an AM/FM radio and it's mechanically sound, I'm happy.

Mods do need to look nice and work well. They all seem to have a quirk or two though. Tanks are more fiddly but can be easily duplicated from build to build.

Bwahahahaha. I do eat my own road kill though. Hate to see anything go to waste

I completely understand Steamer, I use to be the same way especially with my cars, guess I've changed as I've gotten older.

Saves ammo.

In NJ, you have to ask the police if you can take roadkill. It happens often in southern NJ where it's much more rural. People up here in the north think it's disgusting because when they see roadkill, it's days old and usually mangled and fed upon. I thought so too until I tried some venison my friend prepared from a deer that was freshly hit in front of his horse farm.

As a man with a lot of home automation, that thing has a lot of appeal, IF it really works as advertised!

That is a cool remote! One thing I don't see here, where the hide away heart shaped water bed?

 

[mikepetro]

This isnt the remote, it doesnt come out until June. I will wait until SP1 before jumping on it.

This is my web interface to my house, I also have an Android interface as well.

Just got my first Ultra Sonic Cleaner. I got this one from FT $44.14 KingRoad VGT-2000 Ultrasonic Cleaner Washing Machine - authentic / US / for washing glasses/jewelry/watch/tableware / 600ml capacity at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Just basically going to use it to clean atty's. Any advice, tips ?
Do I use soap? & if so what kind? Dish soap? I'm new to this so sorry for the dumb questions.

Careful with dish soap, it can foam up on you. If you do use it, only use a drop, just enough to reduce the surface tension of the bath.

I just use plain hot water most of the time for ecig stuff. For tough jobs I might add a little TSP. You can buy special Ultrasonic cleaners but plain old TSP (trisodium phosphate) works just as good IMHO.

Thanks for the reply Mike, I would have never guessed just plain hot water!
So this TSP is the good stuff? Guess I'l get some
Thanks again Mike

I agree with Mike, a drop or two is enough for atty cleaning. I also use Lemi Shine (Original) powder along with the soap, it helps cut the crud better, 1/4 teaspoon is all that's needed. I got it at WalMart a couple years ago, a bottle will last me years, it's in with the dish washer soaps. It's the same mix I use when cleaning my fired pistol and rifle brass or about any metal objects. I run a batch with the mix, then rinse the parts, then run it again with clean water. https://www.amazon.com/Lemi-Shine-Detergent-Booster-12/dp/B01LW8K6ZG
