Hey everyone!
I had sort of a fun idea for the prototype top-fire, "pigpen". In the spirit of testing and a little faith in my good humans, I was thinking I'd like to get him out and about, on a little bit of a scenic tour per-se. Here's the idea:
No money exchanged, the temporary owner of pigpen pays shipping to the next person in line and that's it. since I'd like to keep pigpen in rotation amongst known individuals, I'd prefer that it stays among members here where we can share our thoughts on the device and its journey.
The time for possession isn't set, but it should be moderate. No more than a month in your hands before sailing off to the wild blue yonder. Maybe you can add a note, initial the enclosure, whatever your little heart desires.
When pigpen's journey has ended and nobody else is interested, the person in possession can message me and I'll PayPal you the funds to ship him back. Same goes if he breaks.
I don't know how many of you folks would be interested but I love the social experiment of the idea and am willing to start the ball rolling asap!
I'll donate a square bottle for the cause if it comes my way

This kind of fits in with an idea I've had for awhile to kind of start a lending library of squonk stuff so we could try various atties, etc before investing.
@minimalsaint , you should start a list and we can see how many people will join. Choice of atty? or we each use the ones we like.
Love it!
For sure the box could be added to, it's going to be a fun trip and he will meet lots of great people so a little bit of yourself included would only deepen the experience!

I will defintely start a list, possibly a thread dedicated to pigpen's adventures!
The atty and bottle would be your own, I feel like it would be a mess trying to use the same bottle, and I don't have many BF options to spare at the moment except a pile of shit Hastur that would ruin the whole thing lol

the hyper matty is a rda that catfish atty converted to bf, I think its a clone version of the matty that he reworks but I am not 100% sure on it, I got it on a trade.
I never had a chance to use either one of these, it was the nuppin all the way!! I hope they work out well for you.

What a cool idea! I'm the new guy around here, so I would understand if I'm not able to participate. If I am, put me at the bottom of the list.
I cannot be in. no way i would send that along once i had it. i cannot be trusted.Hey everyone!

Wait a minute, I cant trust you?
Of course you can! I have faith in my fellow squonkers, new and old!
That's what orders are for! Nothing like a test drive first though, eh?
Count me in.Hey everyone!

So I know exactly who it's going to first, as long as the member is willing to play.
I'm not going to make a list, I will start a thread though.
A list is unnecessary IMO and I don't have time to manage it, so when you're done rolling in the mud with pigpen, post it up and I will trust you fine ladies and gents to keep it fun and civil.

I need one *specific* member on board to get the ball rolling. I'll start the thread once it's settled.

yeah, your pretty trustworthy
I'll pass, I have one of your mods already which works nicely....!So, @inspects what do you say? Take the first roll in the mud with the original arch-nemesis? You in or out?
Crushed.
OK, first interested party that replied gets a piggy via air mail!
Looks like it was Lucy, if you're still interested please let me know!
It's a clone, but it's one of the best I have. Almost the best in the DLH department. Great flavor and vapor production and very easy to build.

Love the way that came out. Just one question tho. What did you use to repeatedly apply the mixture?
That is very nice. How is it done?Forced Patina'd one of my Brass CC's

It really was pretty easy, so you should be able to duplicate the finish
I started by removing everything but the 510 housing from the CC and gave the CC a good bath in dish soap to clean it. Then I dried it thoroughly.
I poured 20ml of White vinegar and 20ml of Hydrogen peroxide in a small microwavable glass cup and heated it in the microwave until it just boiled.
I used a Q-tip and dipped it in the solution and soaked it, then basically brushed the CC with the saturated Q-tip in lines away from the squonk hole to get that pattern.
If you heated the solution to just boiling the reaction only takes a few minutes and changes before your eyes. I just brushed the first coat on and only waited a couple minutes and then soaked a new Q-tip and did it again. As the first layer drys it will darken and the next layer will add lighter streaks thru it and change the color below it. Layering the streaks achieved that flame pattern and different colors. This reaction can be done without heating the solution but will be much slower. So make sure the solution is quite hot when you apply it by reheating it to maintain that hot temperature and you can do the whole process under 15 minutes. The patina develops pretty quick and once you get it to a point you like it just wash off the solution with water and dry.
To keep the patina in that state you should wax it or clear lacquer coat it otherwise the patina will continue to naturally air develop darker overtime. Personally I went for the pattern on mine and will continue to let it air patina further on its own over time, should make for some interesting figures/shapes and colors in the future.
Last tip, try not to patina the mating surfaces (bottom of topcap and top of mod body), and if you do, remove the patina from that area so you can keep a good electrical connection and keep your brassy hitting hard.
This patina can be scotch-brited back off, so if you dont like how the patina developed you can always re-do the mod back to is original brushed finish.
Hope this helps

Pigepen's thread is up!
....and here's the link to it! http://vapingunderground.com/threads/the-adventures-of-pigpen-the-dirty-little-squonker.310076/
Geography sucks!..would have loved to take part in this pigpen tour
Where would it have to go?
Egypt..more specifically past the Egyptian customs authority where it would be confiscated or returned to sender
Yeah, that could put a damper on Pigpen's travels
Hopefully on the plane to Melbourne now.

Yea I too am hopeful it goes to Melbourne and not Sydney like the last one. It seems to me that if it goes to Melbourne it will arrive to you much quicker. Hopefully we find out Tomorrow.
Well, that sucks major rocks! I was going to send it to you, since we need some international destinations.
