Mine got here from Germany, in 5 days.

Nach, that DRA XL looks amazing on there! I actually just ordered one last night and was waiting for someone to post some pics of one on the ELA. Can't wait to get them together but I'm at the beginning of the second batch (missed first by 2 days doh) so I probably still have about a month's wait. Now I just need to find a way to make the DRA into a satin finish.

igo-l wont thread on....


Nach, those were always a freaking lottery. Thankfully, all my IGO-L thread very well on the ELA.

PS- Thanks for the review.


Edit- I did exactly the same thing that James did. Just played a little with threading and unthreading.

Hmmm, 5 days from Germany, great service. I ordered a tip from Germany, was in the system on May 6th and its lost somewhere in Spain according to Deutsche mail service.:(

Ana, is it coming thru DHL or directly from the Deutsche mail service ? I had stuff from England take over 20 days from their Royal Mail. Now, anything sent with DHL hasn't passed the 7 day mark.

Personally I really dislike that "feature", especially it makes it prone to shorting out, make sure it's in line with the neg post at all times.
And it makes the posts feel rather sloppy. Loose fitting top cap is a negative as well, I have to find some thicker o-rings for it. The dental floss trick didn't work.
Vapes and looks great though. :)

I had that problem with my Igo-L. I got some new o-rings but they were too thick to get the cap back on so I took off the o-rings, wrapped the base with some teflon tape (plumber's tape), cut off the excess and replaced the origional o-rings. Nice tight fit and never had the cap pop off again even pulling it out of my pocket by the driptip.

It was Deutsche mail. Our postal service says entered on the 6th and the Deutsche mail said it left Germany for Spain on the 7th. Modder is investigating it. I hope its not lost. Really hard to get, no its not a Vapelab:)

I think I mentioned this before , but here is why I hope that David offers extra top cap cover in all finishes, cause I think this would look amazing. I know Id want one in brass and satin for my polished ELA

Darn forgot the photo, I used Nachs ELA, I hope you dont mind

+1 to that ana! With the top cap designed the way it is, you could have anondized colors as well, though I prefer brass or stainless. But the possibilities to customize this mod are VERY great, between the caps and accent rings and body. I know there are some intrigal parts that shouldn't be made of brass, mainly the 510 and hybrid center pin housing, as the have a lot of important threading, and brass is too soft to hold it's integrity over long periods of time, however, I would like to collect as many brass parts to add to my polished mod as possible, to mix and match as I like!
