If you are waiting on me, you are backing up 
I understand what you are saying about the list. So, yes, going down the list until you get them all sold is probably best idea. You can start at the top of the list and do the same for the next batch. I don't see anyone getting upset about that. After all, they will respond when they are ready, right?

ha, with you it's definitely the other way around. I've kept you waiting way more than long enough 
that's exactly what I'm doing but the question is how long is long enough to give someone to respond? I mean if I send someone a pm and then they get back to me 3 or 4 days later and I tell them sorry but I gave your mod to someone else I think that kinda sucks... I wouldn't want to do that. now I guess a week is not so bad, but even at a week and assuming I have to go down a few times that could wind up taking several weeks or more.
now if I had said here from the beginning that you will only have 3 days to respond so please check in at least every 3 days, then of course that would be fine, but I didn't do that
again this isn't really a huge problem, just a mistake in my planning here. ideally I would have liked to be able to do the whole batch together through each of the finishing steps because it's just way more efficient that way, especially with the heat treating involved, but at this point I'm going to wind up having to just finish them as smaller separate batches which just drags it out, sucks to run the oven up to 400degrees for 18 hours for just a few mods at a time and having to do that 4 or 5 times for one batch that would have otherwise all fit in one cycle, and then having to do the same thing with the vapor polishing. it really is my fault for not having a better plan in place. I could have cut all the squonk holes in one day and then sanded them all in one day and then be baking them all the day after that, instead I'm waiting to accumulate enough to at least be worth running them through a cycle. if I had to do them one by one that would wind up just being a huge waste so I def can't do that.

OK, so, as you get ready to start a batch, email some folks and give 'em a week. If no response, move down the list. Doesn't hold up production and gives you 2-3 weeks to get them sold before the batch is completed. Also doesn't force you to have to completely change your business model or take deposits.
exactly, but what threw a wrench in the works on this batch is waiting to be able to show examples of the squonk holes. I couldn't ask people what there choice was before I even showed them what choices are available.
this is just a one time problem because from now on the choices are already laid out in advance, so I can now confirm in advance like I always have.

It's growing pains of a new venture. R&D took a while and that's no ones fault and let's face it was worth it. I don't live on the forums, my job is in and out and I have been a bit late in responding but I am still here, but the timing is bad till after Christmas. I am still very interested but have to delay it a bit. I would have no problem sending a deposit [emoji4]

ha, believe me I get it 100% and really I don't blame you in the least, I really hope I didn't come off in the thread here like I was complaining at all because I really didn't mean to, you're the perfect example of what I was talking about and believe me I Know that this is my own fault, not yours at all. all I was doing was trying to keep people apprised of the situation. I respect the fact that you don't live on the forums here and I get that there are lots of really good people here in the same situation no deposit required but thank you and don't worry about it, I'll check with you when the next batch comes up and if you're not ready then again no problem, I don't mean to put any pressure on you or anyone else. I almost feel bad for even mentioning this here but again I was just updating the status here more than anything else

I can't fathom anyone waiting for one of these not getting notifications and/or not checking email once a day.
I'd say 3 days tops. Personally I'd say 48 hrs. Put it in the message to them.
"Your mod is ready to select squonk hole. Payment due by xx/xx/xxxx. If you don't respond in 48 hrs you will go back on the waiting list for the next batch (expected by yy/yy/yyyy)"

I don't get any emails whenever I get a PM, guess I turned that option off long ago the way I feel about it is I have kept people waiting for months here as I finalized and kept tweaking my designs and procedures here. it wouldn't be reasonable for me to make people wait for months and then tell them I'm only going to wait for you for 2 days then skip over you
the different squonk holes are the real culprit here. without that I could have just continued through this batch without delay but honestly I still feel it was well worth it because my real desire is to be able to offer a truly custom mod to each persons ideal setup and for the way they vape. since doing this squonk hole setup offering here I've had more people choose the side squonk and the rear squonk than the standard front squonk hole, so that tells me that it was all worth it. would they have settled for the standard squonk hole? probably yeah of course, but I don't want to have people settle for something when I could offer to customize it to what they'd really rather have, so I'm very happy about the squonk hole options and feel it was worth any minor growing pain they caused

It's all good and yes that may be a good idea ST Dog, but at the same time we have to be aware that this is the deal. I have been aware of and been on the list for a long time. Had this been for any other mod I would have just said I will have to pass, but this is not any SVA or A&M. To tell you the truth if Russ hadn't mentioned it over on FB I might not have caught it at all. Yes, my fault, I take the blame, but Turbo and I have it worked out.

Pretty sure it was on by default as I never really messed with the settings here.
So, taking a conscious effort to disable it. If I do that it's on me.

I think it's perfectly fair. It's not like you are taking them off the list, or even loosing priority.
It's not like the next batch is going to be that long.
Sure, it's your call. Just giving my thoughts.
I waited over a year for a mod. You can be sure I got email notifications of posts from that thread, waiting for updates.
If I was waiting on this one, I would be getting email notifications from the thread. At least for the last month as it came together. I guess checking once every 2-4 weeks would be reasonable before then. But for sure the last month showed you were getting close so the frequency goes up then.
I appreciate your thoughts and yeah I guess you're right that would be fair. guess I'd rather be more than fair and try to extend every courtesy that I can. I look at it as I'm here to serve all of you guys, not the other way around. it's all good though, no problems here other than my own poor judgement in somehow thinking I'd be able to just machine everything up in a matter of days after showing the squonk hole options here and automatically just getting everyones final decision. it'll all fall in place though eventually
No need in discussing blame. How can we help you move forward to make the administration process easier for you? Now is a good time to decide so you can apply that to anyone new signing up.
Ok, so I got this Odis Ultem cap for my ChiNarda. Great cap, & the fit is spot on, but been running a hotter build in it for a couple of days, and noticed today that it has turned clear[emoji848] I don't know if maybe it is not really ultem, or if that is normal for amber ultem to lighten up. The thicker top part is still yellow., but the AFC part is clear. Now, if it is some sort of died plastic, where did the die go? my lungs[emoji33] thought I would ask here since Turbo has been studying ultem.
in the future I'm going to reach out and get everyones preference before I start the batch, but here that wasn't possible because all of the possible options weren't really even shown until the last minute. now after this batch hopefully everyone will know what squonk holes are available and what finishes are available and ideally I'll be able to build from a punch list of what everyone wants, rather than just guessing how many ambers and blacks and amber/black or black/ambers to build and just guessing at how many left and right configurations.
maybe I'm just giving too many choices here, but ideally my goal is to build each person a unique custom mod that's exactly what they want and configured exactly how they want it
ok here is the difference between vapor polished ultem and a regular satin/frosted finish. that polished one is a reject from the last batch of before the heat treating/annealing process, but you can still obviously see the big difference that vapor polishing makes. all ambers are sanded and polished to the point of that satin frosted finish one shown here, actually there sanded a little finer than this and will be a little more see through than this, but not by much. they are then dipped into the vapor polishing chamber. it takes just a few seconds to go from a translucent frosted look to the completely transparent clear as glass high gloss finish seeing it happen before your eyes is almost like magic, maybe Ill try to get a video of the process
I do have one request for a satin amber in this batch so far, actually a satin amber with satin black door and chip cover. if anyone wants a satin ultem instead of the crystal clear high gloss I can of course do that. oh crap, that's yet another option
both of these have the same battery inside. if you like the amber ultem but are not crazy about it being completely see through then the frosted may be a good option. it's not a bad look I guess
here is frosted ultem with a battery and bottle inside
I think after this batch I'm going to put up a separate thread that just shows all of the different options, configurations and finishes available, kinda like a menu to make it easier for people to see all of the options available to be better able to decide what they want
