I would like to show off a pen that my son made for is girl friends birthday. It is a click pen turned in thuya burl
My son finished up the tank for his segelei LT and I still have to turn the tip. My wife who doesn't vape found out it was for sale and bought it before the tank is even finished. When I finish the tip I will post pictures of that as well. The wife plans on getting some no nic flavors to try out in her new toy.
Here are four tanks that are heading off to Eric Monday morning.
Robert's DCT turned in cocobolo
Possibly Dave's DCT turned in black ash. A attempt to match his battery tube.
The first items to hit Eric's store in a long time
These have been sitting in my todo box for months.
DCT-007 turned in Box Elder Burl (black/green)
DCT-008 turned in Box Elder Burl (black/green)

I received a twist a few days ago for testing. I was able to remove the head without damage. When trying to get the battery out I broke/cut a few wires. When I tried to press out the bottom cap I destroyed the VV control. My first failed attempt at modifying a battery tube that looked like it might be possible.
Man that green/black box elder burl tank came out scha-weet! Good thing I already have one or I'd be spending even more money!
Lewis have you done any Vivi Tanks yet? I think there would be lots of interest in in wooded Vivi's I know I would be.
I test fitted the tube on my stone tank. I think it pretty much the same tube with the plastic threads at both ends. I should be able to turn that type of tube. I am not sure if I have a drill bit in the correct size, but I could always order a bit. The only thing that might be a issue is if I get CA in the threads. I could always try put some VG on the threads to keep it from sticking.
The Custom Order page has been updated. Hopefully this will make it easier for customers to order. If there is anything we can change to make the process easier please let us know. http://www.discountvapers.com/lg-mod-custom-order/

It is really one of the main things that keeps me going. It is great to see that people enjoy what I make!
Enjoy? How about drool!
I will be trying to turn two Provari's
Valcityboy came up with the idea to replace the stock led cover of his Provari with a piece of plexi-glass. This will hopefully allow me to turn the plexi-glass along with the acrylic so that the only metal that will remain will be the top cap and possibly the bottom cap. This will require a lot of cutting by hand to fit and glue the plexi-glass.
The second Provari belongs to Jojobo. The bottom half of her Provari will be covered in Amboyna Burl and it will have a inset cap. The top half will be sanded and buffed. It will also have a tank cone to fit a Ithaca.
I have taken Jojobo's Provari apart with out breaking it. The stainless steel has been sanded down and buffed to a mirror finish. A few days ago the Amboyna arrived.
Currently both projects are on hold because I am waiting for some Fuller HSS Brad point bits to ship. Last time it took them a month to be made and ship. Hopefully it won't be that long with this order.
Here are pictures of the progress.

Oooober ooooober ( is ooober even a word?) excited by all of this. I can't even express myself over this. Huge respect for Lewis and his talents and how he conducts his business. This will be epic for the provari look. Thanks Lewis!
I got the shipping notice for the drill bits. I am so happy that it didn't take them a month like last time.
Eric also sent me tubes for the EVO. The cap looks like it will be easy. The battery tubes have the threads on the outside of the tube. The downside to this is when I apply the CA it will probably get in the threads. I am going to try using wax to coat the threads so I can get the CA off easily. I will also apply the CA with a Q-tip to hopefully keep the CA off the thread all together. The drill bit for the cap is in the mail and I will order the bit for the tubes.
By November I hope to add the Provari, Iaddy, EVO, DID and Griffin to the list.

Maybe something like this: Mr. Gasket 2842G Teflon Tape : Amazon.com : Automotive
Not sure how well it would work, but it might be worth a try.
Yeah, it looks like pipe thread tape. It's a little stretchy and fits really snug in the grooves.
