How's that fury treating you?

Diggin it so far :thumb: Tried a single coil on it yesterday and rebuilt with dual coils tonight. Works well with both style builds for me so atm I'm not partial to either style. Build deck is a breeze to build on so that's a plus :thumbs: I pretty much rock Nuppins on all my squonkers so the Fury is a nice change of pace. Flavor is a tad muted IMHO compared to the Nuppin but still a tasty vape :) For the looks, Im partial to 18mm attys so it's aesthetics are right up my alley :D

That's a very good looking collection Peng :thumbs: My favorite is the Tan one, 3rd from the right :drool:

It has a satin-like sheen to it in portions of it, but it is all natural wood. It is hard to capture but this pic shows some of it:

That looks like it might be White Oak (or in the family)
I have a White Oak Woody, and it has those iridescent white streaks in it ... love it

From the grain, weight, and feel, I would say it is a member of the Beech family. But who knows!

Ohh, I never thought of that :thumbs: .. don't think I've ever heard or seen one made from Beech.
In any case, it's beautiful, and thanks for giving us an "up-close" shot of it :drool:

OK, since I dug this picture out recently, I may as well show it off here too.
I did the patina job on the copper Nuppin sleeve, and I love it with the Caribbean Rosewood
I was just playing with the patina, and I'm patting myself on the back that it turned out so well.
They NEVER leave the house :p

PS, yes the door fits, I just juggled it setting it down :(

I always enjoy seeing people add that extra touch to personalize their vape gear and make it unique :) Excellent patina works Slots :thumbs: I also like how you matched the drip tip color to some of the hues on your sleeve, ties the whole setup together perfectly :)

You can't beat a combo of black, white, and silver together :)

Hey sweetie, your not so bad with adding "special" touches yourself :p

Thanks guy's, .. I did try to cheat peng. I went down and picked up some brass and copper pipe pieces from the plumbing dept to practice on.
The only problem is that there are different compositions/grades used in making copper.
Because of that, you're not sure how the copper will react.... patterns ??, colors?? .. kinda like a "grab-bag"
But, I got to practice the technique, and crossed my fingers it would turn out good on the real sleeve :blush:
I love this thread ... seeing what everyone else has gives me ideas, and inspiration
