Good evening all. I got my stuff from Rob today. My mini has its new button and spring. Again, I tested the mini A7 and it works fine on the Grand. I put it on the mini - hard short again. BUT I learned my lesson and made sure the short stop was in place so at least didn't blow another spring! I had to turn the center pin out past the edge of the atty, and all is well now. Which is exactly opposite of what everyone was saying, so FYI you may need to adjust your pin to your unit and make sure you have short protection!
The Holocron short stops are reusable, I didn't want the ones that once they worked you toss. I am using the short stops from now on and last night anticipating this I ordered Evolve's 2 cent fuse lites. I think they are "flatter" than the short stop, and I don't want to use the woodvils until they have their own short protection. The mini that is on the REO 2.0 was on the woodvil (with the short stop of course) and worked fine but now that I adjusted it for the 2.0 I need to be careful of where I put that atty!
Free booze?? What's the addy? ;-)
I don't have steady hands, but that is why we can enjoy and support their work.Lampwork is a lot of fun. I stumbled into it while going w/ my ex to stained glass classes. The stained glass was boring to me, too much like putting a jigsaw puzzle together - which I never liked doing. While at the glass shop I start noticing the beads and objects fused. That intrigued me.
It is cheap to get into the lampwork hobby. All you need is a a few hand tools, a special torch head (I think mine is called a "hot head"), a canister of MAPP gas, some metal rods, and some release compound. And of course, some art glass and common sense. Go to an art glass store and check it out. I ended up getting into the whole fusing thing and it is a lot of fun.
I was surprised when Bert (from Drippy Tips) told me his tips were lampworked. I figured they were blown. After I bought one from him I could see the release compound inside. He offered to have me come over and work one up (he lives about six miles from me). I thought that was a very nice offer, but I didn't want to abuse it.
If you like doing artsy craftsy stuff you'd love doing lampwork. It is a hoot.
Edit: Geesh. Finally went thru thread you mentioned. That lady has some incredible talent. Amazing.
Too fussy for me (and I have way too many clumsy moments for glass tips anyway), but I like looking at them.
She sells from that thread, has a shop on Etsy BlackRavenTips by BlackRaventips on Etsy , and Alice in Vapeland sells some when they have them. (AiV is only open Wednesday mornings, though, so it's something of a challenge to order from them.)
(I've been kind of a drip tip voyeur lately, can you tell?)

Ed the weather is amazing! I am going to go out with a friend shopping and I think I will rally up Firefly to go check out the park today. Since he is the one who showed it to me in the first place. hahaGood Morning Reo-fam! It's a beautiful day here. I hope everyone has the same weather!
