How did u get that cool blu-ish color on the accent rings?

He killed a smurf and wiped its blood all over it!!








... Actually he torched it. Take a butane torch and light up the metal and it changes color. Blue is the last color and it must cool off by air not water. Water turns it browner. Brown-purple-dark blue-light blue.

It certainly is. We suffered a moth attack at 5am, and my ELA was on my bedside table. Or it was, until the cat jumped up there knocking clock, and ELA to the floor in her attempt to kill the moth. The Kanger Protank that was on it broke (I have extras) but not a scratch on the ELA. It was just a little covered in nicquid.

I'm trying not to be too upset with Liz Lemon (the cat.) It's only a matter of time until I drop it in the parking lot at work.

Liz Lemon, I love it. I love that character. I really enjoy 30 ROCK. I glad to hear that it didnt scratch. It really is a tough finish on it.

I wonder if using one of the flat-top Panasonic, Sony or Samsung batteries would be enough to eliminate the gap.

If you're referring to the Panasonic hybrid IMRs, then no they would actually increase the gap. I have a bunch of those (flat-top ones) and they are longer than the AWs, there's room for two upper accent rings and maybe a 4mm or so gap. Can't test it since I only have one set of accent rings, but measuring with calipers it looks like it would leave a roughly 3.8mm gap with the battery I have in it now.

I see. All I have are AWs, and I just kind of assumed that the flat tops would be slightly shorter due to not having the nipple. Can anyone confirm this for the Sony and Samsungs?

Sorry, my pictures aren't nearly as fancy as some of the others, and there are no feet in them, but here's my super ghetto solution to flush mounting the AMP tank (man I wish the AMP was more aesthetically pleasing... it vapes so well) - I'm just using one of the adjustable draw o-rings:

And one of the itbanked 22mm. I also got a 24mm that I will try later:

And of course, good 'ol Cisco:

I'm at 9 weeks now and still a few weeks out 'til I get mine. I really don't like speaking for Super T but you should probably expect more time than that. That said, it's understood that the 2nd batch will go faster than the 1st, as parts for the 2nd batch were produced while they worked on the 1st. So I guess it's possible, but I wouldn't count on it.
