Looks perfect!
Thanks Andrea !
Had to find something black and white lines but it has enough swirls on the tank.......

At least the Stainless Steel band on the tip matches the one on the tank ....

Looks great Fidola. I assume you brushed it on? That is very uniform for brushed finish! Usually they spray. Obviously you cannot do that unless you have an air brush. Looks great as always Manny. That is a Falcon? any 510 tip should fit it. Unless that is not a Falcon?

Now I have Two Mods going back to Evolv DNA75's with bad screens. I certainly hope those screws take off the Faceplate on the Primo. Did he say that in the video? I did not have the sound on and cannot find it now. The Primo is not even done getting coated yet, then it has to go to Evolv. At least they take care of it and for free too.

I finally got around to deciding what to use as a finish for the Minikin V2. A friend gave me a jug of water based hardwood floor refinisher so I decided to give it a try. I put on 3 coats allowing them to dry 24 hours in between and micro meshing w 1200 as well.

I’m pretty happy with how it came out. View attachment 138505 View attachment 138506 View attachment 138507
That looks... stunning! Let us know how it wears, and how well it deals with ‘juicy fingers’. That sounds almost dirty, but that is not what was intended. Heh, juicy fingers it is!

She did good, it could use a couple of more layers........ This Java has the same method applied, but it got (15) coats.... And it feels good....

It should have some thickness to it...... (3) coats it's going to make her shine, but (15 to 20) coats makes her feel like it's got a rubber feel to it..... It will feel like it's covered in actual glass.....

I have only (2) Stabwoods like that and the Osiris has over (20) coats and that's really glossy...... If you get a scratch on it, rub it for 15 minutes using 12,000 and the friction closes the scratch again (melts) the scratch closed ....... Easy to rub off deep scratches

No that's a Sense Screen tank.....

I will. I too am curious about how it will react to juice and sometimes sweaty hands. Fortunately I rarely get juice on my mods hopefully that will continue :) !

I used a foam applicator thingy lol! I sanded any brush marks in between coats. I’m surprised that it cam out so well.

I can definitely put several more coats on if it’ll protect and look better.

I feel like put too many coats it feels sticky. Manny, like you said rubber feeling. What I mean by sticky feeling. It is usually not smooth like glass unless sprayed on and done very well.

Let it dry it can take days and days depending on the coatings....... Once it hardens and becomes solid you can hit it with 12000 to glass it up....... Patience grasshopper.......

I have someone doing it right now. Then it needs to go to Evolv with 3 other Mods. It is great they take care of us like that.
I am using the Thor II. I hear constantly now 21700 is the preferred battery. Even Tesla is using them now. It considerably lightened the car. As if it were not fast enough already.

And the Java not far behind..... Gave it good exterior light to see the imperfections........

I think the wood/resin on your Java and Primo look somewhat similar. Of course with the Java being much nicer.
First prices on the new Primo TI went up. To like $800. Now they are selling everywhere for $400-$450. WTF? At the time I bought mine they were in the middle at about $600. I paid about $850 for this one due to being "book matched" on both sides and a 1 digit number. These things prices seem to be all over the place. Now is obviously a good time to buy. Sara, you might want one. It won't break the bank and it is a superior quality Mod. Like 3-4 steps above Asmodus. Of course the Java and Osiris are in a different league altogether. You can buy Natakari's all day long but Manny's gold one is one of a kind. Well every Stabwood Mod is one of a kind but you get what I mean about his Natakari.

Manny, you stole the Top Hat. Any one of those is 15 Grand plus. You paid $1,700? Either way it is your most expensive Mod AFAIK.
I wish I could get wood on wood with wood. It is not very important at my age. I do not even think about sex anymore. It is odd but I hope all of you live to my age and you will understand. Actually I am the first person in my family that got sick. Most of my relatives lived well past 100. I hope I do too. I really do not mind being crippled. It is no big deal. I have nothing to do anymore anyways. I just sit here and vape but I am happy.

Where do you find Nataraki V3 mods...... They haven't been made for (4) years or more......

And Primo Ti 26650 there are 100 ever made...... The secret is finding a limited quantity of something......

Try and look for a Top Hat..... Nowhere to be found......

You think The Java and The Primo look alike ?

Top Hats you can't find anywhere..... I have been looking worldwide for another and not a single one to be found........

Last I checked Stabwood UK had some Natakari's. He may have sold them. I meant the Primo and Java look "somewhat similar". Maybe it is just me. Obviously the Java is a much nicer Mod. I know the 26650 Primo you cannot get. No Top Hat either. That thing is 15 or more Grand. Search high end vape Mods. I have a honeycomb pattern Top Hat.Never used accept to check it worked. I paid $2,500 brand new. They have grossly appreciated now that you cannot get one. Unobtanium=$$$

That UK guy has had that one Nataraki V3 for (3) years...... He can't sell it because it's butt ugly......ha.... I spoke with the DPM owner and he told me he hasn't made them for over (3) years.......

The Osiris can't be found either...... And The Java he stopped making also (3) years ago..... And made one for me because he knew I would pay him premium......

I like specific unique mods...... Can't handle high production mods......

you like VA though and even Asmodus. You just got that VA. Those are production but they are high quality. Obviously your others are nicer though. Maybe I should buy that Natakari even though it is ugly? Since you can't get them anymore. I don't know how he had stuff 3 years because AFAIK he just opened like 8 months ago. I am pretty sure but could be wrong. Perhaps he was around and I did not know. No, side by side they look much different. Apart I thought they were similar. They are both nice but the Java is much nicer. I was lucky to get one very good Primo. I also paid a premium for it. Now they are going for nothing. Sara might want one because it is not expensive and good quality. That way she does not spend too much. You do like "special" Mods. Even your Primo cannot be had any longer. Perhaps[s that is the only reason you bought a VA?

It's not ugly, it's a funky pink color.... He has that for years...... It's nice and a 26650...... and it was priced well like $299

I just like colors and blends that I like...... If it was dark I would have bought it 3-4 months ago.....They are amazing mods.....

That mod was made a while back because on Facebook I see his last posting of the Nataraki V3 production was in 2016.........

I bought the Primo mainly because it's Titanium and 26650 ........ Then I saw the face and colors and said why not....... Then I spent a couple of days investigating and realized they made 100 of them and now discontinued........ And finally $300 bucks inc. shipping.......

The guy wanted $300 inc. shipping to make his car payment...... I PayPal'd him $350.00 which made him real happy and shipped it USPS Priority mail.......

You are a good guy Manny. I sometimes give people more too. If I know they need it and it is already a good deal. I am sure you could get a Grand for the Primo.

I am using an original Thor. 26650 is a better battery. We both agree on that, right? Then why is industry(not vaping) switching everything to 21700? I imagine because it is more compact and saves weight. The top of the line Tesla does 0-60 in under 2 seconds! Now it should be even faster. That is a factory stock car that runs 8 seconds.I never got one because I think they are a hassle. Plus now that I cannot drive I am only looking for investments. A Tesla depreciates like any other car. Special Chevy and Ferrari for instance rapidly appreciate. Everyone says cars only depreciate. That is mostly true. Except for a handful of super exotic cars. They will quickly discontinue the ZR1 and the 812 Super fast I have. Then everyone with money will want one. Like a used Porsche Carrera GT from 2005 will run you 3 Million right now. Even with some miles. It is a fantastic car though. Although better be careful. Like that Guy from need for speed got killed. You cannot be stupid in those kinds of cars. Anyways, Electric may be the future but right now I feel it sucks. Like that Ego lawn mower has more torque than any gas push mower. It is all 21700. I would want to cut the grass, not waiting for it to charge. Batteries have their place but gas stlil reigns supreme in items that can use gas.

I was helping the dude out..... It's sad when you are in a situation where you have to sell your mod to make a car payment.....
