Ya I got one of BR’s seconds and it’s good, I love it [like I do Billy] it is completely HAND MADE, everything but the wick BR made in his kitchen [the lath is set up on the bar between the kitchen and living room that has NO TV] it is a work of functional art, like the antique radios he restored/built that are displayed throughout his home.
If ANY OF YOU can take a side trip to Liberty TX do it to visit Billy, the address was real and Peggy, his wife, will make you at home. Then, in my visit, leave Billy and I to trade his crop dusting stories and see his work with the Ecigs.
I bet it takes him over 12 hours to make the “Masterpieces”, look at the photos, he constructs EVERYTHING but the wick and heating wire, everything is metal so keeping the wiring from shorting is a challenge to say the least but that gives him the bigger tube that he likes.
All that construction is the disadvantage to his Masterpieces: if anything goes wrong with the wick or wire it has to be rebuilt, no inserting a new E2 gut like a MAP tank. The cap is the real masterpiece of the Masterpiece IMHO, it fits exactly over the cup but pulls right off for filling, no rings or rubber needed.
He’s not trying to invent something new, just using his experience with the radios [with all the radios and laths around his living room the house doesn’t look junkie, except around the lath and Billie’s work area] to build a device he likes

BR, take care of all, going to Mexico i hope for a month, leaving AM Friday. If the Mexican don't take my Ecigs away I'll give you a Buzz for the Masterpiece you gave me.

I'm sorry to hear you won't be at the vape meet in Houston on the 14th, Charlie. I was looking forward to seeing you again. I hope everything goes well with you in Mexico.
