**Closed** PIF Box 3.1 Is Live

[Delion]

No Problem Ld3441 I didnt know much about the kayfun, and I knew someone in here would be able to fix or use it so I tossed it in!

 

[Sigmardin]

Glad you figured out the problem @Surgikill .
I included the batteries that came with that mod but not sure if they are still with it.
I used it a couple of times and had no problems, I just don't/didn't use it and want a smaller one.
Sorry for those that had trouble with it, I would not put it in if it wasn't working.

Broken stuff, user error, it's all the same, throw it in!

 

[Ld3441]

I would not want to PIF something that does not work but that is just me.

Understandable, but what doesn't work for you may work for someone else. I threw in a Nautilus tank that was missing the glass only because I know people like to do crazy things with their stuff so maybe they'd have a use for it. Broken Kayfun? That screams spare parts to me.

 

[bobskinner]

I love broken stuff! Either for the challenge/fun of fixing or for parts. I took the Caravela tubes from the PIF box and tonight I made a stainless topcap for my Magma with 1/2 of one of the tubes (pic attached). I love my magma but do not like dripping through the driptip and also don't like having to unscrew the top every time I need to drip. Before tonight I had a full delrin topcap on it but it would expand slightly when hot and start to spin very easily, closing off the air holes. If I had a Caravela mod I would have used the 1/2 with the logo on it to match the mod, but I don't, so I didn't. Also made a delrin driptop to go with it. I had to increase the inner diameter of the tube a bit and put an o-ring on the magma but it works great. All done on my wood lathe.

All that being said just to emphasize: one man's (or woman's) trash could very well be another man's (or woman's) treasure.

 

[Huckleberried]

I dropped my beloved vv3 in a full cup a few weeks ago... zzt zzt. Dead

 

[Surgikill]

@TheDude I need your addy. Check your inbox.

 

[Surgikill]

btw love the vest did you make that? I use to work nights in the oilfield and we looked for something similar with orange neon wire trimming it never could find anything like that

I just saw this. Yes I made it. Took about twelve hours hand stitching it. You can buy orange el wire with built in stitching material for a vest. Would cost about thirty bucks for each vest, including the batteries and wire driver.

It's it's still there when the next one gets to me it's gone

 

[Surgikill]

Haven't shipped yet. Don't have an addy. I'm leaving town the twelfth so if I don't get an addy by then I don't know what to really do.

I think it was something along the lines of give them 24hrs then move on to the next in line.

I'll wait to hear from @Sigmardin or @Delion before I do anything.

Good plan!

(I did just check the first post of this thread and it says 2 business days)

 

[Delion]

If you have not received information within 2 business days get in touch with next on the list and move on to them.

If I were you I would go ahead and get the mailing info of the next person on the list, so your ready to ship and they know we are all keeping communication at it's best.

 

[Delion]

Cross them off the enclosed list along with your name and then message us and let us know so we can try and get in touch before the end of the runs.

 

[Sigmardin]

Soooo.....I'm about to freak out cause i still aint gettin ANY notifications. I get them for 1 day then they go away and im such a space case lately that i forget to check unless it's stamped on my forehead, taped to a juice bottle or a drip tip on a sticky note, or in my google calendar!

 

[Sigmardin]

Good plan!

(I did just check the first post of this thread and it says 2 business days)

If you have not received address information by the end of the day today, you are free to send it to the person next in line after them. Please prepare their shipping information in anticipation of having to jump over someone. Excellent communication here folks, love to see it. Sorry I'm a failure at communicating some days

Absolutely amazing!!!! I may have to commission you to build me something *snickers*

 

[Surgikill]

My notifications are messed up too. I have no idea why.

[Smoky Blue]

wee!! haha!! @Huckleberried .. it's coming!!
how excited are you?? lol..

 

[Sigmardin]

I may have been mistaken... I thought I saw that adk sent it but I may have been wrong lol

 

[Huckleberried]

Rut roh. Ok change in plan. I'll send it on to smoky. I just pm'd adk, but I see it's too late to forward it. Ok I'm sure I have something I can add. Boyfriend pif'd most of his stuff to his nephew. Nevermind. Sorry for the confusion. It's all good. You're after me smoky. I don't have as much to add, but at least a dripper and a little juice.


Sent from my stupid iPhone because I don't have an Android.

 

[Smoky Blue]

Huck.. don't worry on what you can give.. if you need something out of the box, snag it..
I have goodies to add to it!!

 

[Smoky Blue]

I may have been mistaken... I thought I saw that adk sent it but I may have been wrong lol

you are fine, Sig... and Huck has my addy..

 

[Huckleberried]

I'm waiting on a reply from adk. Stay tuned . I'm at work but should know more later and will update.

Just a quick Roll Call to make sure all the signed up pif people on these two boxes are still following the two boxes progression!

 

[Surgikill]

Still nothing from @TheDude. I'm assuming I'm shipping to @builderbob tomorrow

 

[Dchap]

Still here and sent my address to builderbob

 

[bobskinner]

Present and accounted for

 

[Sigmardin]

Sounds good... Now to figure out what to do with the dude... To the bat cavecave @Delion

 

[Delion]

In da batcave with the @Sigmardin in regards to the situation please stay tuned for our decision on the matter

 

[Delion]

For the record as we are coming out of the batcave of vapography, we have come to the decision if @TheDude has not replied to this thread or to adk or to @Sigmardin by 6:30 cst in the morning we will just remove him from both lists, and continue moving forward.

 

[Huckleberried]

Home from work. I haven't heard back from adk as of yet. If he's already mailed the box to me, I'll accept it and participate as originally planned. If he hasn't, then I can have him contact @Smoky Blue and he can send it to her.

Is this ok with @Sigmardin and @ Delion? And @Smoky Blue?

 

[Surgikill]

@TheDude has been active on the forums so maybe he just doesn't want to be in on the box? If so just tell us

This is fine you do know that you will also have the second box headed your way soon as well right?

 

[Delion]

@TheDude has been active on the forums so maybe he just doesn't want to be in on the box? If so just tell us

Hey @Surgikill you are going to go ahead and send to next on the list right? Or have you already done so? as I believe we are skipping @TheDude at this point

 

[Huckleberried]

This is fine you do know that you will also have the second box headed your way soon as well right?

Yep, I do. When I hear back from adk, I'll have better info.

I had pm'd him before reading the posts earlier, then read here that it had been mailed to me. Then I discovered that that was actually up in the air, still. I managed to confuse myself there.... so............ I'm still waiting to hear back from him. At this point, it's all a go, still. My apologies for the absolute confusion on my part.

Ready and waiting.

Yep, I do. When I hear back from adk, I'll have better info.

Yea I'm sending out the box today.

 

[Smoky Blue]

Looks like I am going to need some of that Japanese cotton too.. ahhh boy!

 

[Sigmardin]

I have not heard back from @TheDude and I will be messaging @adk1989 to find out what his status is as well.
@Surgikill please send the box to @builderbob . Thank You!

 

[Smoky Blue]

will be digging thru my tool box and other boxes..
if anyone needs something, please post up!

 

[Faust]

Still here watching and getting eager as it get's closer to me. Time to start sorting through everything to decide what all to add.
