Thanks, Hopefully I will have .75 tips to look at by then.


metukka came up with the idea to make a .75 inch tall stainless core so I can make a few shapes he wants. This will be started after your AGR tip design and the current batch.


That tip would look great on your mod :)
In 5-6 weeks I hope to have some beta .75 inch tips and pictures to show everyone.
The pictures I have been posting are of the current batch. So far 20 tips are finished and bagged. 10 tips are turned but still need ran threw the finishing phase. I hope to have this batch finished and mailed in 3 weeks or when I hit 50 tips.

Thanks for clearing that up Lewis. Sorry metukka. I was sure you were on the wrong thread. :facepalm:

It is great to hear that you are enjoying your tip :)
I would be happy to make some 1 inch comfort tips.
From your list I still have Wild Horse Jasper, Black and Red Jasper, Malachite Web, Purple Spiney and Bloody Basin Red Jasper. The Mexican Agate was used on 1.0 inch and 1.25 inch ming, but I can order more if you would like it in comfort.
Which ones would you like to see in 1 inch comfort?

Just pick any two from that list that you haven't used for the 1" comfort before. I absolutely trust your judgement and I'd be happy with any of those.

FYI: Any style 1 red & 1 blue works for me as soon as they are available.;)

I will turn them when I get back from the mountains on Sunday. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Lewis asked me to start a new thread for the Pinnacle Drip Tips
I am posting his first post here and will try to move all the Pinnacle related posts to this thread.


Lewis's post:

Pinnacle is the name for cnc products I make. This is to separate what is turned by hand and what is turned by cnc.

After months of work and lots of programming it will now make 1.5" comfort tips. Here is one of the first tips it made :)
This tip requires 7 tool changes and takes about 40 minutes to make.

The program is written in VB which took longer to write, but this automates much of the program and will allow me to add new styles into the same program with much less time than g-code.

I went cnc to reduce the cost of these tips and to bring two of my hobbies together (turning and programming).
These prices may go up a little depending on how fast the cutting tools wear. I hope everything will go as planned and these will be the final prices.
$13.52 - Acrylic drip tips
$15.60 - Tru-stone drip tips
$24.96 - M3 tips drip tips

I still have a little bit more work on the programming. After that is finished I will run a batch, then make a new style.

Hola Eric..or Gormly..or??? I have been buying from you for about a year now and have always been happy with all aspects of your products and response time to my questions.I own 2 of your tru-stone tips and want ...MORRRREEEE!!! I love them.I take them out on the town all the time,people always ask me where(my tru's) got their stunning outfits and I happy to oblige that info.But,I am always quick to get my mouth around them,lest they feel left out(whoa,and I'm as straight as Robin Hood's trusty arrow)not that it matters in the least.I really just wanted to let you know you have a big-fan with these tru-stone tips and I would love more.Your price has become,I think,very fair and honest,especially knowing the love and care that go into these babies.Could you find it in your heart of 'tru-stone' to PM me or just write a message when they are about to be 'on the market' so-to-speak.Keep up the original art brother.You've found a follower here.
all the best,
WOLF

Nice review Wolf. :)

Just for your info, Lewis Gentry/Whokrz is the man that makes these beautiful tips and Eric sells them on his website Discount Vapors. I wasn't sure if you thought Eric was making them. ;)

It's just Eric :)

Lewis is the one making these, I just provide a place to purchase them, Lewis is a man of many talents and I think he is in the mountains right now taking some well earned time off, he'll post back here when he is going to have some more tips :)
