Ah crappolla! It looks like they are selling the 1100 twist way out in front of themselves. My order has all items ready to ship except for the twist that says
Scheduled Ship Date: 7/31/2013


:glare::(:mad:

The only thing thats holding back my twist order is the red one my girlfriend asked for...i think they didn't get enough stock of these

Looks good in red. I just got my chrome one in - very nice, almost like an anodized finish to it. +1 on the squeeky threads.
On the whole though, it is surprisingly solid and well made. Bottom button is a little stiff and will take some getting used to.

That's funny. I recently reviewed the eBaron Dripper Pro. You can build coils using only resistance wire, but I don't recommend it. The extra heat can potentially damage rubber/plastic parts if you're not careful...and even if you are.

Nice review on the eBaron. I'll probably pick up the clone and try it without using NR wire. It's cheap enough that I wouldn't be too upset if I ruined it. There's also the option of folding over and twisting the legs to prevent them from heating up, like when rebuilding eVod heads.

If you are into this sort of thing, you might want to get a can of rottenstone and try it out. My dad and I restore collectable firearms (I do the finishing and he does repairs and plasma-arc), and this is the stuff I use on the stocks, etc as final finishing. It would work great on brass as well. Mind you, you would want to do the baking soda thing first if there is heavy dirt or scratches as rottenstone is extremely fine. I use rottenstone to finish off the polyurethane. My stock work literally looks like wooden glass when I am finished and rottenstone is about the only way to achieve that sort of finish. You use your hands to do the rubbing. It's slow work though, a typical stock takes me about 20 hours of hand rubbing to get the desired perfect finish. You could prob do the brass mod is a few hours if the pre-finish cleaning was done well. I would polish it before and after applying the clear. Of course then you wouldn't want to pick it up or touch it anymore out of fearing scratching it. hehe... I can imagine it would be gorgeous though.

Tanks for the info,i sandpapered my Natural with a VERY fine sandpaper and it came back looking like pure silver.

You can change the spring but it not easy,the locking washer comes of but too get it back on is very hard,its so small.

I just ordered this hunting knife separte,im afraid too include it with my other order as Canada customs can be wonky.You guys in the States are lucky,you can order all kinds of knives and stuff.If they ''take'' at customs im only out 5 bucks.

Are you serious, they will confiscate a stinking knife? For what purpose? Is having a knife illegal in Canada?

Because its a Axis lock design,even tho its not spring loaded they do ''take'' them,but its ok too do have pot on you..go figure.Its not illegal too carry one of the axis lock knives but the blade must be tighten and not easy too flick open.Now importing them is a whole new can of worms here.Oh ya,its ok too carry around a bread knife tho.

And the knife must be in a case so the the wold world can see,if its concealed,like in your pocket,you may loose the knife and end in in prison.If its a butter fly knife,you can kiss your behind goodbye.Im dam lucky im getting the Sential Mod across the border...LOL and too get juice from China into Canada?...may as well try too get blood from a turnip.

Quick search shows it's the same for the US.

If it is a law on the books, I have never heard of such a thing. You can't have a mechanical opening knife in most states and a lot of states have laws against double edged knives but I have never heard axis lock ever mentioned pertaining to any knife laws?

I was refering to what Heavy described,same here,same in most developed countries.

The axis lock often falls into a grey category for most customs services where you might be allowed to import it but they will hang on to it,just in case.
