    most of the add on panels came with a little warp to them
    A trick I learned one day while visiting your buddy Albert was to heat the interior of the panel with a heat gun/blowdryer and gently manipulate the low/high side and press while holding in your hand. Quick and it works. ;)

    Monk’s vet is making a house call tomorrow. I’m hoping it’s not the bad news I think it may be. Getting old sucks, human and fur baby alike. Hope Rudy perks back up soon!

    Nothing exciting shiny, sadly. Af pins for the dotshell came. China orders keep bouncing around for security returns, and the 2 in LA at ISC are just STUCK.
    praying for Monk :wub:

    Awesome!

    The Inbox doesn't have the strongest magnets and most of the add on panels came with a little warp to them. It will take a bit of gentle bending in various places to get them to lay flat and not rock, I've had to do it to all my panels. I put a cloth on the jaws of a bench vise to keep from marking the panels and have them open just enough so I could slide the panel down and apply a little bending pressure where needed. Test for rocking, bend a tiny bit, test, bend, test, bend and so on... Doesn't take too long to get them flat.

    Or you could be one of the lucky ones and they are flat out of the box. ;)
    Great info. Thanks

    Albert is the man! :thumbs:

    I didn't figure that would work with aluminum panels, never tried it though. @Pigs you might want to try that if yours are warped.

    Loving it with the xeta. It’s quite decent even with a nauty coil. With a triron 0.5 in the A tank, it’s real DL. I haven’t tried the other bridges since the xeta has made me :D. I’m happy I took the plunge and got one. $$$ well spent!

    TY all for your kind thoughts for poor Monk :wub:. I’m hoping we can buy a little time, but we’ll see what Dr T says. She’s going to try and do a needle aspiration of one tumor that’s out of control all of a sudden. I don’t know. Right now I’m just feeling crushed, trying to avoid listening to my intuition.

    Isn’t it just awesomeness?!!! I really kind of want to get another.
    Yes it is, totally awesome. Love it with the Creek's deep well. And yes, I am seriously contemplating grabbing a black one. Plus ordering a black ultem kit from Atmizoo for the full black setup. :p

    BTW it's supposed to be Springtime here ... ya know warmer temps and all. NOT!!! Oh well, soon. :cool:

    70's the other day and BOOM back to the 30's this morning and 40's today. Once you've had a few days in the 60's and 70's a drop of 30+ degrees is a major BODY shock. I have my heat blasting away. Give me warmth! :D

    Is yours the V3? From what I've seen the earlier versions had a proprietory plastic bottle with a really thick squonk tube. The V3 looks like it has a silicone bottle with a metal cap and a more standard gauge tube. Can anyone confirm?

    I had to swap pins on a Creek and this dang plastic bag from Atmizoo has to be the smallest and most frustrating to open. o_O It measures 26mm. 22mm RDA for ref. I know, too much time on my hands. :D

    NVM my nonsense ... I'm easily amused by dumb stuff.

    Ok then, Carry on with normal Shiny programming please. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Pigs, the V3 has a regular silicone bottle, metal cap and standard tube. Bottle measures 43mm x 18mm.
    Their bottles are very soft. Cappy soft/Boxer soft.
