Brilliant design idea! Works like a drip-shield, but working off the design of the air-holes in the post of a 510 or 306 instead of the side air-hole of a 901. Looks pretty sleek too. That would be a must-have for me if I was still using 510s on a regular basis.

I ordered it from vape4me.de! Took awhile to get here, but I'm liking it a lot.
I always have to remember that since I am never really "on the go" that it is easy for me to be a dripper for I am virtually always at home or at least in the studio which ain't much different (my studio just a few doors down from my house and in my cousin's basement).
Ya like today or days my girlfriend/wife is off I am on the go a lot so I would feel to much like a dope fiend dripping while out at the zen garden or target or Costco. That's why I'm thinking amp tank or if I win the lotto 8 amp tanks would be great. Heck if I win that lotto I could hire a drip person to drip and pass. Lmao at that mental pic. Btw what kinda art do you do.
My avi is one of my pieces. That one is an ink "drawing." It's not really a drawing in the way people think, but it was drawn subtractively (all ink rolled out first with the ink taken away by my fingers, q-tips, napkins etc.) on a plexi glass and printed through a print press on Japanese paper.
I don't do that stuff really, though that piece was selected to travel Shenzen, China for China's largest art show ever and it still remains in their collection. I actually do really colorful paintings in acrylic. I occasionally make pieces that are "one-of-a-kinds."
Might have to look in to collecting a piece for our master bedroom or living room.
That's fine with me, but it can be a bit of Robert DINERO! LOL
So it is actually a type of monoprint. Neat. Never really heard of doing it that way.
Among other things I'm a printmaker (mostly letterpress and silkscreen) and I always enjoy hearing other people talk about their processes...

Coming from a letterpress background (learned in a REAL apprenticeship in commercial shop, not in art school), I'll admit it took me a LONG time to appreciate the monotype genre. In letterpress/relief printing, you strive to make LOT of copies of the same image with precise uniformity, and doing with multiple colors takes a LOT of skill, patience and training. Old-school letterpress guys joke about monotype that "any schmuck can make ONE copy of something". ;-)
But after I spent some time with artists who were doing monotypes and did a few myself, I realized that it's a totally different mentality, and the process and end product are completely different than relief printing. It's a completely different process--mentally, creatively and goal-wise, and I get it. I don't have any desire to DO them (I'm just OCD enough to actually ENJOY the letterpress process...) but I appreciate them, and the process that goes into making them.
My art praxis is VERY process-oriented, being a sort of zen version of printmaking where the journey is WAY more important for me than the destination. Grad school will do that to you--make you THINK about your personal philosophy as an artist. Sometimes, though, I'll admit, I tend to "over-think" projects. As you can imagine, I was a NIGHTMARE for the instructors and other artists in crits. Sometimes they would just skip over my work because they didn't want to get into another extended discourse... ;-)

Art critique time was such a surprise for me. It turned out im really good and didnt know it. I mean i knew i was good at art, but really good was a surprise but i dont care because it hurts my neck to do a lot of drawing anymore. It WAS a highlite of my life's journey and a source of "getting away" to some place else without actually drinking myself in to a fog. The process was was simple, kind of like sex, dont think, check in with the subject constantly and work fast
Up to 4 juices 2 samples to maybe be included in adv and another 2 on the way. Great start to the month. Also washed all my tanks out. I really hope krankberry and unicorn blood are good.
