Woot! Thanks for the update Lewis.
Big D send me an email please, need to talk about the switch and other options. Not sure if I replied to you yet?
Woot! Thanks for the update Lewis.
I am not sure what you mean "what kind of wood it is that they are laying on"?
Oooo I know what you mean now.
It is a chunk of burl that burlsource sent me for pictures. The last set of pictures was Jarrah burl. This set of pictures is Coolibah burl.

XL3 Mini in Black Ash Burl
These will be in the mail to Eric in the morning.
Omg, Big Screen D! your wife is gonna FLIP over that blue mod! so dang cool looking! Something about that wood... just reminds me of 'starry night' painting. The deep blue with the pops of oblong yellow. Gorgeous!
And I love ALL of them, but I am going nuts over that XL3 in cocobolo...... man. Off to check prices to see if there's any way to swangle that into the budget. I want my wooded indulgence like crazy, but that one would keep me happy in the meantime till I can swing it. lol I've gotta get my charger and some batts, anyway.Crossing fingers! lol
Here is a video of LordDavon gently testing the durability of the CA finish on a XL3 Mini in Big Leaf Maple Burl
Thank You LordDavon for the contest, the review, the CA durability test and all of the time you spent!
Also please note that the wood under the CA finish is stabilized burl. Stabilized wood is very dense which I think contributed to the CA finish not fogging over.
Standard wood is softer which makes it more vulnerable to the CA fogging over when hit hard. I believe the fogging of the CA happens when the wood is hit hard enough to indent the wood allowing the CA finish to pull away from the wood.
Be honest, how surprised were you when I gave it a gentle shake.
Too easy. I will let that pitch go right by me in deference to my respect for LD. ::whistles on by::
Will the XL3 wood mod take a CE4 Ego clearomizer without an adapter.....just like fitting on a KGO or EGO?
would love to order one, but the CE4's is what I use the most.
