Show Us Your Phidias

[Pyloric Thinker]

i like seein this one up close. it looks like rays of the sun. huh never thought to use a whistle tips on these. will have to try that.

I tried every atty I could throw at this thing. This one was an 801 shorty. I haven't found a drip tip that fits it quite yet. Isaac is extending then a couple mm to adjust to this discovery. I really like the 801. It's one of the best at HV. 306 and 510 just don't perform as well with that much amperage applied to them. I think the larger size of the 801 accomadates that hear quite well.

i like the whistle tip on my 510 for fire and feed.... i helped me learn the proses without.. a mouthful of juice.... im back to reg drip tips now.... but it was a great way to get me going ......

I agree about the whistle tip tip ;-) I'm mastering my fire/feed technique and really loving it. I feel this is truly the dark horse of this feed system. Everone should learn this before getting their Phidias. I'm happy I did because it's so superior to the "... over tea kettle" approach.

Good to see the new ones are showing up here. fono is a great photographer, but to see them in their new homes does the heart good. I'll post some pics of the Texas Chainsawed Mesquite when I get it, I have a special backdrop in mind...

Hey MXBNW,

Is that considered a Presidential model or did fo let it go as a Flagship?

Tell me what you're thinking, you may have a better idea than I do.

I have considered many ideas of what to picture it against, a Mesquite tree, local wildlife, me (glory hound, I think not), a Mesquite BBQ (oh no he didn't). We should strive to find interesting places to photograph them, makes it... well, interesting.

Cheers,
Jag

Presidential and its so nice. Loving it.

That's so cool, but I was hoping you got a Presidential for the price of a Flagship. lol

Glad you are loving it, I am currently waiting on her sister to get home.

Fresh from the post office ...



Walnut w/ through end cap lacewood inlays? I think, can't remember. It's gorgeous whatever it is!

Sorry for the iPhone pic in bad lighting, but I just couldn't wait to post this and it was the camera I had on me at the moment.
