Deep Purple: Perfect Strangers
Thanks E !!! ... I always find it interesting to look up the various woods that Doug uses at Molehill Mountain Art. I have a bunch of his wooden tips and love them all.
Concerning the Pink Ivory wood, I find ... Pink ivory was the royal tree of the Zulu People and only members of the royal family were allowed to possess it until the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. Before the Anglo-Zulu War, the Zulu king (and prior to 1818, Zulu chiefs) would possess a pink ivory knob kerry, a stick with one end a knob, and wear jewelry that were also made from pink ivory. According to rumor, non-royals who possessed the wood would summarily be put to death. After Zululand fell to the British and was separated into 13 separate "kinglets" in 1883, all vying to retake control of what was once theirs precedent to the onset of apartheid, the pink ivory wood became much less important a sign of control than genuine control could be.
Pink ivory (Berchemia zeyheri), also called purple ivory, red ivory, umnini or umgoloty, is an African hardwood used to make a variety of products (for example: billiard cues and knife handles). The pink ivory tree grows predominantly in Zimbabwe, Mozambique and South Africa. The tree is protected and sustainably maintained in South Africa, only felled by very limited permit. The wood is extremely hard, with a density of 990 g/dm3.
Interestingly, Ebony wood is dense enough to sink in water rather than float.
Man this wide bore Pink Ivory wood/Ebony wood tip vapes good on the Kabuki. Just arrived vape mail today

I might stick with the 440C blade it came with, or might swap the blade for a drop point blade from a different model lol, when I get modding on a knife, I never know where it's going till I'm done...

That is utterly gorgeous!
History has proven that when a Government ban things they create a black market for them things 
But they swear that could never happen with tobacco
ALMOST two million illegal cigarettes were seized in Brisbane this week in a massive Australian Border Force sting.

While that number sounds bad, it's only 10,000 cartons, or just under two truck loads of cigarettes.
But yes, anytime something gets banned, it opens up a huge black market.. governments are just dumb.

Pink Ivorywood and Ebony by Molehill Mountain Art
Just staring at the bottle of that stuff will get you drunk, be careful.Someone remind me ... what is it we use this for again? ... thank you
But, if you weren't being facetious, it's quite good at soaking tanks, driptips, o-rings in to get out flavors. Works like a charm. There have been a couple of juices which were nice, but whose flavors were intense. All the washing in the world couldn't get the scent out of the gear, especially the o-rings. PGA did the trick.
