"":confused: I think every form of money handling is kinda old. We do have regulars that abide by the paypal rules. You can find info located in the Payments section on the footer of the homepage. Hmm. Do you mean as physical meet of some kind?""

I hadn't gotten to look in the Payments section until last nite. All I saw when I was checking out was the Money Order selection and some Checkout provider that I'd not heard of. So I got frustrated and left.

Lo and behold, I went to my usual supplier and I don't even know what he uses and I've been using them for several months.:blush:

So, please forgive me for setting a negative tone in your thread.

Please Bob, there was nothing negative about your post. It was in the means to be constructive.:) Authorize.net is widely used by many many vendors. and I never had a mishap before *knock* or have heard of an incident to date. Authorize.Net - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well it fits after you enlarge the hole in the bottom Delrin. Make sure you stay below the o ring. Make it a touch larger than the Fusion base so it can breathe.

5card, one of the things I like best about the Fusion in my tank is the way the Fusion stops the tank at the bottom. To fill it, I just take the DT off, slide it down & fill with a pipette. Quick & easy!

Sir Isaac...my man !! I sincerely think IKV is and has been on the right path since the beginning. The only thing I can think of has been said... The Chameleon, but as you are not turning the pieces yourself, no worries.

Oh....and second, I believe Indiana would be a better move than any where else...LOL

From my family to yours... Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year !!

12mm inner diameter and 5.5mm from end drilled upwards toward o-ring is how I did mine. You can use a half inch drill bit w/ drill stop to ensure you don't drill too deep (for those that want to DIY)
I'm a die hard and don't do anything in MM and even with one bad eye and the other one still being worked on I can stop my Dremmel from going to deep. I use terms like almost and about.LOL

OOPS I lied. The Intraocular lens (fancy name for contact lens implant) they implanted in my right eye is T: 13MM and B: 6MM. LOL:D

All that I can come up with is getting the stocking of your products flowing smoothly so as to have less out of stock notices, which I believe Switcher had mentioned. Hopefully there will be continued redesigns for improved operations as you have done all along.

That's about it from this end, just glad you are back up and running.

Oooh you know, there were a couple guys that were going to start working on that, but ended up going ghost.

Man o man Isaac long time and sorry the tanks didn't work out. There was a time some months ago that tanks were the rage and the best new thing. Looked into several designs with emachineshop and counted the cost and by the time that was done and got off my fat .... I figured it wasn't worth the effort.

Predicted at the introduction of the carto tanks that these were the best thing since sliced bread and it wouldn't be long before our Asian friends will be mass marketing the original designs. Yep they did and now in chrome 3.5 and 5ml for around 10 bucks.

Where's the profit margin and how do you compete? It won't be long before folks figure out that paying over 15 bucks for a tank is ridiculous, whether delrin or SS. A few vendors caught the wave in the beginning with the overpriced tanks but those days are numbered for them and will have to lower prices or the tanks are going to sit on the shelves. There are only so many ways to skin a cat and so with the manufacturing of tank end caps. Form with function is ok but the bottom line is if the tanks are to "move" they are now going to have to be at competitive prices. IMO the overpriced tank wave is fading.

As for ideas, get with Switched and Scuba and come up with an IKEN rebuild-able atty (next new wave) design to throw on your Chameleon....make something simple, classy and not to easy to copy.. :)

Have a happy New Year Isaac and glad you are getting back into the swing of things.

Hmmm..How about trying something new with the 801 line of attys you have Isaac since there is a lot more room in there compared to a 510.Like maybe the first side by side dual coil 801 mini,just imagine twice the flavor,vapor,etc,etc.Come on Isaac give it a try you know you wanna make another "super atty" and the first 10 consider already sold to me LOL.
