I like that he makes these with a SS core and would love to have a Dibby version with a larger bore. Here's one I have waiting for a Dibby mod.

Ha - it's true - I'm an aesthetics hound by my own admission. But come on, all the viscosity, laminar flow, capillary action, and Poiseuille chat needed some girling up.
I don't. All I see is color but I'm ok with that. Some people like yourself have the ability to see beyond or within.
I figure it really wouldn't matter what I see within; it's not going to look like that once P'Dibby chops it to hell anyway.![]()
On the "me modding atties for some of y'all" front . . . . . I'm considering ordering a small batch of "starter atties". Y'know, IGO-S type thing. I've heard, in the past about a couple others from Fasttech. YK-somefin'-somefin' . . . .. . Phoenix V#2,723 1/2. . . . In any case, if anyone would be kind enough to suggest a nice, reliable, basic model atty like that. Not too expensive, so that I could ask a few bucks for modding them, and the Peep (end user) isn't breaking the bank. What was that YK-somefin'-somefin' one?
Lemme know if y'all find something.
The wooden drip tip does not appeal to me... I just don't feel comfortable with having the interior of wooden tip getting coated with moisture and juice for an extended period of time... My other drip tips can be cleaned regularly with no harm, a bit of a soak in an alcohol, a scrub, a rinse and good as new. I do have 2 magnificent drip tips on order that I intend to use with my Dibby:

dust off the sign hanging outside my shop . . . .
"Deadwood Torture and Butchery"
I got a divo and drilled it for BF, nice little atty, very similar to the cyclone but slightly smaller chamber… I use divo for single coils and cyclone for duals…
No temper tantrums, please... Just be patient and let the man get to it... He's certainly bogged down with the mechs and now he's getting slammed with requests for drip tips and he's volunteering to do toppers
Dibby's got high expectations on the amount of time in a day, eh? =] A formidable enterprise I would say... the need is there, with each of us... give us MORE, MORE, MORE LOL
I'll wait for them... 3 months for the mech... and longer for the restThis Dibby will be my only high end mod I suppose... Goodness knows I didn't blather on and on about the Provari XD

I'm not far down in the queueso I have to beg now before it's too late.
Buttons, button covers:
. . . . buttons can be readily switched out. There's a structural section and a cover. The cover needs to meet quite a few requirements in order for the whole assembly to work properly. I spent some time exploring options and looking at a variety of materials and shapes. I ended up going with a matching button (matching the surrounding top cap material) as a way of practically/physically meeting all the structural/functional requirements and I chose to "blend" the button rather than Kitsch it out. This, from an aesthetic standpoint, was driven by the fact that mod body materials vary greatly, and are intended to be the "main attraction". Furthermore, the way I have the button done, when one chooses matching caps of their own custom material, with my method, I can make the button to match the body and caps. My thinking was, that if someone got a wild hair, and wanted to fabricate their own button top, I could provide them with the structural elements, and they could fabricate/shape and apply their own.
Some of the requirements of the button topper are that it fit smoothly in the 1/2" hole surrounding it and operate smoothly like a piston in a cylinder. Also, that it never leave the hole completely when not engaged (again, you wouldn't want your piston running past the end of your cylinder). This requires that the button cap be hollowed out on it's underside. So, ultimately, you want a button cap that's <1/2" in diameter, 1/4" tall, and it's underside needs a 3/8" diam. hole that's 1/8" deep. Then you order a replacement stem/structure from me (or get one at the hardware store and machine one end of it down to < 3/8") and do your wackiness.
