Ahoy and good afternoon all. We had an early morning 9am thunderstorm and the dog insisted that I should be awake to share the experience ... but I'm up now and mostly awake.... pee'd on the carpet too...stupid mutt...

Looks like I have a bunch of PM's to answer too, will get right on top of that now.

Good mornin/afternoon crew~

:shock: Waho....she's BEAUTIFUL!! Now, I don't know if you already know this or not, but, in order for that shine to remain and not start wearing off, you MUST continue to use carnuba wax and buff it. Once you put the Howard feed n wax on, I guess the carnuba won't work...at least that's what I remember Cappy sayin'. The feed n wax doesn't give that shiny appearance and won't slow the wearing off of the wax either, unfortunately. I didn't have any carnuba wax and the shine has now completely worn off of both of my Destroyers. It's not very attractive when the ladies first start 'shedding' their shiny overcoats...but once it's all off, then they look like the RSM's of earlier times. I'm going out to buy me some of that wax...I think the paste stuff correct Cappy?...cuz' I really want this one coming to keep it's shine.

Cappy....if we've already applied Howards to ours....what would be the best procedure to follow in order to re-apply the carnuba wax? I'm thinking that once I get some wax, I'd like to put shiny finishes back on my other Destroyers again ;)


Sittin' here waiting and checking USPS website for updates on the arrival of my new baby to the post office now.....:D

I do buff on coat of carnuba wax before they go out the door, once it wears away it does leave the original satin finish. If you apply Feed N Wax after that I would think you just have to wipe it off with a damp cloth to make sure it's clean then apply a paste wax carefully (don't get it in atty connector or button) and buff it off, should look pretty good.

The thing about applying a more permanent 'shiny' coat of finish is it will, without a doubt, wear through where you fingers rub and leave a dull spot in the shiny hard finish, so your only choice is to try to refinish it or hope a paste wax will shine those spots up so they almost match the original. The way I do it gives you the option of paste wax, Feed N wax or no wax at all and it will still be a uniform finish after the wax wears away.

Ok, off I go ...

Arrgggg, still trying to work the kinks out of the system, but have gotten some Cruiser orders and a pre-order and seems to be working ok so far.

If you notice any problem, be sure to give me a shout and let me know what the problem was, thanks!

I'm baaaakkk!!

P....hope you get to feelin' better real soon hun :(

She's GORGEOUS!! I had to run outside to snap some quick pics cuz' I couldn't get the lighting right to capture the colors.
DD....I put an Elegance tank on just so ya could see what she looks like with a hat on, lol....the hat doesn't match, but that will change real soon ;)

I only have one minor issue with her....in order to capture and stare at the side that has the most prominent 'snakewood' pattern, I have to either hold her in my right hand (I vape using my left hand) OR I have to flip her around so that my thumb presses the firing button, which is a bit awkward for me :( I'm sure once the 'newness' of staring at her wears off, it won't matter anymore tho :)

I can't believe how LIGHT she is! I got used to my Cocobolo being on the heavier side and now this one, like my Redheart, feel like a feather. She vapes just as great as all of Cappys creations, the fit in the palm is the nicest yet, and the size couldn't be more PERFECT for smaller hands. I'm VERY pleased with this newest model! GREAT JOB CAPPY!!

Waho.....the bedazzle tanks are glass and they make them specifically for Bellas, Lava Tanks, and a few others. I don't have a link to them, but if you keep an eye out, she posts pics of what she currently has for sale, or maybe you could pm her to see about just a plain glass tank (she makes them with different designs etched on the glass too). If I vaped juices that cracked the plastics, I'd DEFINITELY be gettin' me one of those before ruining my RSM's ;)

Try a search on ECF for "Bedazzle" tanks maybe??

Oh, thank you! I don't have a Bella/lava tank, but that'd be worth a shot. I remember seeing the siam tanks have Pyrex tubes or stainless tubes, I wonder if they'd fit?

Ok, I am officially jealous!! Mine was scheduled to be delivered today.. My wife stayed home until the mail came and the was just junk mail, I checked my tracking number on the USPS website and this is what it said.. "www.usps.com/redelivery or calling 800-ASK-USPS, or may pick up the item at the Post Office indicated on the notice. If this item is unclaimed after 15 days then it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later."> " Guess what they didn't even leave a notice of attempted delivery.. I guess I am headed to the post office tomorrow to ring someone's neck.. I should be cracking on that new Cutlass II right now...

On a lighter note the mods that people received today look great! I am green with envy.. Cappy the new website looks awesome!!

I will pass that on to David who has done the vast majority of the work. Soon it will have demo's, review videos, product reviews by buyers and start to look like a real website by a professional organization ..har har har, if people only knew :D
