He probably is saving pictures till the ship date or several have shipped, so wishy washy people like me can't email him and say ummm can you change my finish again? LOL


I like the satin, I like the polished. I still don't know which one will look best, but after all the messages and emails I sent to change my original order from polished to satin, no worries David, I won't email you again. It is safe, I promise! ha ha

I daresay most mark bugs devices end up on the classifieds because of the touch sensor. In order for the touch sensor to activate, there has to be some moisture in your skin. There's a popular spurious idea that licking your finger is the only way to get a WA to fire. That's lazy and weird, but that's what sellers of these devices wish to trade away.

I've got an apprentice that will probably never see the classifieds until I give up vaping. It's very well built and quite an efficient use of space. And apparently I don't have the dry skin problem plaguing so many others. Check out the apprentice 18650 next to the p+ 18500:

Both are excellent devices. Truth be told, I still use the p+ more often than the wa. But someday I would love to see David combine the diminutive size of newer devices such as the apprentice and caravela with the superlative aspects of his p+ line.

Exactly, thats what the Saber Touch suffers from also. I have 2 sabers and they are amazing devices. I have some trouble occasionally, only dry skin, and nerve damage on my hands which I really feel affects it. When my hands are especially numb I have trouble firing them up. I do enjoy them, but sometimes it does frustrate me, but I know its not their fault, its mine.

Thats what started my search for a more traditional button device. The Mark Bugs are great design and beauties. Glad to see you love yours. It seems that so many people buy and flip so many beautiful items, either because they are constantly wanting to have the latest and greatest and flip them for the next must have.

I tend to be the opposite, I always have a hard time letting go of things, I feel guilty. I do want to sell one of my Sabers but Im fond of it and then I worry if the next person has a problem firing it. I logically know that its not my problem if they have dry skin, and I feel bad that it will reflect on its quality and name.

Oh well, I cant wait to get my next forever device, ELA

I honestly can say I have bought a lot of mods, but not as many as a lot of folks. I usually always sell them, but not to make a buck off of them, usually at a loss. I have purchased several evolv products, but SuperT is the only vendor that I have purchased more than one mod from. I have stalked the precise plus mod for a long time, never purchased one, then these last few months I went hog wild. Glad I did! I love the p+16 and p+10, I picked up last month. Super stoked about receiving the p+18650 and p+18500 I ordered yesterday, ha ha along with the ELA, whenever it gets here. Yeah like I said, I went hog wild! lol

Cool. That's why I bought it. :) I'm a "one device" kind of guy. In my 2+ years of vaping, I've rarely had more than one PV at a time, and each upgrade has become more robust and bombproof. I think the ELA will keep trucking for a long, long time.

I may consider the matching RBA tank, as long as it's 100% leak-proof design like my Spheroid.

I would love to have a matching RBA and PV, but unfortunately I always tend to have mismatches. I am in deep with the Odysseus atomizers ( 2+) and a few carto tanks and cartos. I just haven't found any other atomizer that has all I want before or after the Odys.

I know I could have eventually got a GGTS to match Odysseus perfectly, but I honestly dont love the GG PVs enough to make me go thru all the hoops and ladders to get one. I also dont like all that engraved logos and other things on it. I dont mind the wings.

All the Super-T devices are low key, elegant , clean simple amazing designs. The Odysseus is also a clean simple design. SO I will have to take some courage pills and see about giving some of the parts a brushed finish to match ELA.

I have an easy way of refinishing - sure I'm not the first to do it - but I'll pass it on.
Need 3 things
1 - Dremel and the bits and doodads (okay - that's like..100 things)
2 - A drill
3 - a long 510 extension

Put the atomizer on the 510 extension - put the extension in the drill (like a drill bit). This will allow rapid rotation of the atty. Then, mount your bit in the dremel, turn it on, and go for it. It's basically a miniature lathe.
The rotation helps to ensure everything is nice, smooth and even.

The dremel doodads that look like a little brillo pad (they call them "finishing abrasive buffs") do a great job and make quick work on stainless steel (used them to change my kiklet to brushed stainless). Follow the buffs up with 320 or 400 wet sandpaper as you wish.
can continue on through finer sandpaper and then even use the dremel, polishing bit and rouge if you want a mirror finish.

It's so easy ... Honestly. Try first with 600 grit wet/ dry and because it is round and stainless it will be forgiving unlike aluminum. Just curve the paper around a finger and brush in one direction turning the peice around part by part. One fluid pass will always end up crooked. Never begin the brush with a rough edge so if you curve the wet paper it will round into it. See mine ...

Wow, those look great, I guess its not too difficult, I like that look above, 2 tone finish is great. Thanks guys.

I'm like you, I'm not a fan of engraving or shiny stuff. The sleek simplistic look is what initially got me hooked on SuperT. I love my GG RBAs, but I could never stand the shininess nor the engraving. I actually dumped the stock tanks of my Ithaka and replaced it with a clear tank so that it will match the more understated, refined look of the ELA. I refinish in a similar way to the others, and its a lot simpler than you might think.

Anyone know of a nice attainable not crazy expensive dripper that would look nice on the ELA I already use the igo on my precise. Just looking to get one for the ELA I like the immortalizer just have no clue where to get one.

I've been researching a bit on RDAs... how about the um Nimbus? its around $50 not sure but could be hard to get.

and for bigger $ i'm on the list for Prometey Ti on Vaporwall... i'm hearing its the best of the best (silica)... it has a drip mode
