Amber Ultem and black door / chip cover looks rad. I'd like that one John. Killer detailed explanation too man. Who da known that there was so much involved in the process. But I love how you don't let it stop ya. You keep on rockin. But yeah that amber body and black door / chip cover looks like it says X on it for sure.


wow Russ I'm so glad that I can FINALLY send you a completed mod bro, done deal, the amber with black trim is yours :) also I'm glad that we didn't just stick all of your frosted ultem caps into the vapor polishing machine too, it's very possible that they too may have developed some stress cracks from the polishing.

it's funny but when an ultem product is finished to a satin finish you really can't tell how much internal stresses there are, it's only after running it through the polishing chamber that they show up and reveal themselves. once I have the whole heat treatment oven in place then it would be no problem because they can be annealed and then polished.

whats funny is that you think most of the ultem vaping stuff you see is clear, but it's really not... you don't even realize this until you see the clarity of ultem after it's processed like this to a true crystal clear. if I had stopped at a satin finish I wouldn't have run into any of these problems, but really I'm glad I did this anyway because the ultem processed to a crystal clear glass like finish is just so nice. I mean go back one page and look at the ultem mods before it was processed then look back at these pics of it after processing, night and day difference if you ask me. that's why I was never really satisfied with the ultem in the beginning, because this is really what it should look like :)

most (maybe all?) ultem vape stuff isn't fully processed like this, but developing the whole annealing and polishing process is done on all ultem medical devices because the glass like finish is the most sanitary finish possible, when ultem is a satin finish it has many tiny orifices at the surface level that can trap and hold bacteria, but after processed it is completely sealed and sanitary which is why ultem is so widely used in the medical industry to begin with. ultem medical devices are routinely steam cleaned and sanitized in an autoclave, but it is required to have this glass like surface finish, you won't find any satin finish ultem in the medical field, it absolutely requires this kind of processing to be sanitary... of course this isn't required in the vaping industry but it def looks cool if you ask me :)

OK..this is subjective of course and possibly based on incomplete information, but I've never seen a mod that beautiful in this category. With all due respect to the SVAs and Lukos and similar high end mods..this level of perfection sets Turbo's mods in a class by themselves. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get a medieval or Indian Lukos, but I don't remember liking the looks of a mod in this category that much before. Now I'm in a situation where I can't make up my mind. I wanted a black face with a brass trim DNA 200, but after seeing the Amber & Black Ultem DNA 75 I fell in love with it!
Excellent choice Russ! Congratulations.

Personally, I never understood the whole SVA/Sunbox craze, from what I've seen, they're not particularly well made, and are just not aesthetically appealing to me.

And I tell ya being a staunch wood guy, having seen the Ultems up close and personal, me like!:thumbs:

No offense intended towards Turbo for the comment in his thread but....

Please don't lump Sunbox and SVA together. They are not the same in terms of quality and are priced accordingly.

UPDATE




ok, I'm really trying to get a handle on this list. I'm assuming that anyone listed as just "ultem" means amber ultem? I was tempted to separate the list into separate lists just to get a better handle on things but the problem with that is several things. one big one is I still have several people with no distinct choice as to what they want and if I separate the list into separate parts then it will be very hard to keep correct order if/when they do choose what they want, and the other problem is that I have so many different choices that multiple lists may start to get a bit unruly so what I am going to try to do is separate the list BUT keep the number assignment so that I can still track order of priority. I also removed any completed mods from the list. I think this will help me to see where I am at with each different setup as I try to keep up with this, so here goes nothin :)

first list is the list of undecided or the non specified yet. please don't feel that I am trying to force you to make a decission right now, when ever you are ready then I will try to be too and move you into the appropriate spot, you are welcome to float on this list as long as you like, and once you see what you want or decide what you want, you will go into the appropriate category while still keeping you list spot priority, but for just for the sake of organization, here goes...


PENDING DECISION:

1. nautilusfan
2. Aal
4. sqonker
11. Tamer El-Meehy
16. spacetime(dna75)*
17. want to quit
24. Robbie Vape
25. keithu2
26. deacon987
28. Ryan Hryciuk
31. piranha
46. Gigdujour (dunno yet)*
47. YePsTeR ???????

ok, next list is the remaining wood folks, I'm going to group dna200 & dna75 wood mods together because I can mix those together while building a wood batch:

WOOD PEEPS:

7. clark f(white teak burl)(dna75)
14. ghola1was (dna200) (darkest wood)
15. Rossum (DNA75)(wood)
27. Unior(DNA75)(stabilized)


then we have the amber transparent ultem, again for simplicity I'm going to group 75's and 200's together for this time being and of course you can still close weather you want all amber or amber/black combo, whatever...

AMBER ULTEM:

0. super x drifter(ultem ultem ultem)(dna75)
3. penguiness (dna75)(ultem)
9. tpedwards(dna200)(amber body/door, black face)
13. Kingdal (dna75)(ultem)
18. mcpuff (dna75) (ultem) or delrin if available*****
19. allpeppers (DNA 75)( Ultem)
20. ong999(dna 75)(ultem)
21. Balistix(dna75)(ultem)
22. benthos(dna200)(ultem)
23. Dee_ell(dna60/75)(ultem)
32. Copterstyle (DNA 75)( ultem)
33. adrian13(dna75)(ultem)
34. cheeseofvapes (dna75)(ultem)
37. Hotsauc333 (DNA75) (ULTEM)
38. chellyc (dna75) (ultem)
42. Mackman (Ultem)
44. ghola1was (DNA75) (Ultem)
49. Phanner (DNA75 Ultem, centered 510)
50. Papa_Lazarou (DNA75 ultem)
51. kingdal (dna75) (Ultem)
52. bgmat58 (DNA75/Ultem/Left Handed)
53. Armen (DNA75 Ultem, centered 510)
54. distortoblotto ( dna75 Ultem / centered 510)


ok, and now we have black ultem.

BLACK ULTEM:

29. laadam(dna75)(black ultem?)
36. Plumeguy (DNA75) (black Ultem)(centered 510)
40. Henry Etta (DNA75, black Ultem)
41. Rudy4653 (dna75)(black ultem)( CHANGE TO 2 DELRIN )*****
43. havok333 (Black Ultem)
48. Tiedjan (DNA200)(black ultem)(centered 510)
55. Beez0527 (DNA 75 black ultem centered 510 ultem buttons)


and lastly, we have the dna60 specific set, which is on a list for a mod that hasn't really been fully developed yet, but this is the list of first priority to that mod when it does come round :)


DNA60 SPECIFIC:

45. penguiness (DNA60)
30. zulu83 (DNA60 Ultem)
35. Raynman some sort of DNA60 with left handed squonk hole
39. Plumeguy (DNA60) (black Ultem)(centered 510)



***** there are so few delrins atm that I'm not separating them off just yet, but delrin is noted and will probably be integrated within an ultem run *****


I'm going to follow this post with another post that contains just the raw lists without the fluff and extra descriptive text for clarity but PLEASE, feel free to tell me any corrections or alterations and clarifications as to your choice here, I'm just trying to get a better handle on things and separating it like this helps me see exactly where I'm at here.


* also, a few on this list may have bought a mod from me that was not technically from the list, I don't want to remove you from the list because technically this mod purchase didn't affect you list spot, BUT if you now no longer need or want your spot then please let me know and I will remove you.

one last thought is, any new comers to the lists will start to get a little complicated as far as numbering is concerned since now the numbers are pretty sporadically dispersed throughout the lists. truth is that as long as newcomers go into the category they belong in and don't change there mind and move to another choice then actual numbers don't matter much, but I'll do my best to still try to keep this organized so to that end I'm going to add a few number spots to the undecided list so someone can jump in even if there not so sure of exactly what they want yet. if someone goes onto any other specific list hen they can just take the next number available on the undecided list and then move with that number to there chosen list. I appreciate everyones help here who has helped me maintain this list orderly so far and I'll do my best to try and stay on top of this and keep it organized and I thank those who have also helped me do so up until now too :)

ok, while I sort out this whole heat treatment oven deal to anneal the amber ultems in the next week or 2 I'd really like to try and get the few wood people left under wraps here, I'm only seeing 4 wood mods left here so I'll be PMing those to iron out the details and try to get them out of the way.

while I'm doing this wood run I will have room for one or 2 more wood mods to be integrated wit that batch, so if anyone happens to want a wood mod with no long wait time nows the time to jump in, once I get the whole heat treatment facility up and running it will probably be a little while before I get back to woods as I really need to get caught up with these amber ultems that everyone has been so patiently waiting for, so if anyone wants wood speak up now :)

Hey Turbo, props to you for your persistence! I don't know many people who would have stayed the course with such a complicated process.

A couple of quick questions on the high gloss ultem. Is it a fingerprint magnet the way high gloss aluminum is? And does the degree of gloss affect the transparency?Trying to decide between glossy and satin

Thanks for all your effort
