Let's just say I'm not holding my breath, lol.
If it goes the way it's supposed to, it will scan in Anchorage next. View attachment 74038
After that, it will scan and say it was delivered when in reality they have not yet put it in my box
Almost all of my incoming-from-out-of-state mail goes through that Allen Park post office. Thought I sent you something and forgot about it, lol.
Going through that post office early this morning, I have a BF pin for my new Goon 22, and an overpriced delrin box with a two generation old chip in it (used SVA Penguin). Very happy today is my early day so I can take off and go play with toys.

My Orcas in Saint Paul
I've been able to use my Floris Little Orca from @minimalsaint for the last two days since my bottles came in. You won't be disappointed.
Not sure if either of these will suit but what I find.
One
Two
Pins
ETA: I also steer away a bit from weariness over vaping from true brass. There's speculation over health concerns regarding it. I too wanted something brass to top the brass CopperVape, yet I desired keeping it safe/sane. Ergo, the stainless but brass "toned". The brass on it is electroplated and bonded to the stainless, as such I do not perceive there being any kind of health concerns. A person won't be likely to get the vaping so hot as to 'peel' the brass off of it and vape brass 'dust'.

yeah, lead content of brass is a concern
"Eh, watts a little drain bamage for the cost of a good vape?"
I figure the Strontium 90 we've all been dosed with since the early 1940's kills off a lot of environmental effects, acting kind of like a sterilization agent.
"You are going to make us sick lead? I don't think so, this body is radioactive! It'll nuke you out of the system."
Still though would rather err upon at least making some effort to be safe. There is a whole argument about an invisible giant shark swimming up on you in the ocean, too. Not sure I would want risk getting bit to find out if such a critter exists or not. I'll stay safe under the wings of my invisible purple unicorn Pegasus, thank you.
If all else fails, I'll let the Flying Spaghetti Monster invoke Cthulu.Not that I'm a fanatic or superstitious.

Most of the sites that sell the Goon clones also sell the pins separately for like a buck or two. Check out the 'Squonking at Fasttech' thread on their forums to see all the BF related items they currently carry including all the BF pins. 3fVape also has two pins that will work, one is even a hex head, branded as Lost Art.
Ok, enough. Can someone please point me in the direction of a coppervape, or other decent mech squonker that I can lay my hands on without waiting for half of the life I have left to get it from the celestial kingdom? I'm not a patient person.
FT sell coppervape
Custom Classic has no waiting list at present. He'll make you one in a week. On sale now starting with base model at $350

The good thing is, that I want to use that build on that 22goon all the time. The bad part is, I need to get another one.

Yep and forgot to answer part of it.
The Kanger Atty is factory fresh not touched.
The Velocity mini is used but fresh washed and wicked.
Ohh I did unstick the Kanger RDA and put a bit of PG on the orings.
I have a REO Grand LP I'm thinking of selling, since I got the P67. It's 8/10 in looks but the inside is in top shape, just got it back from REO with the updated 510.

Thanks again!
It is now firmly attached to my Dripbox and I am really enjoying the flavor it produces.
Yep, I did notice that and I took my original Kanger RBA out of rotation until I can borrow the right tool to get it unstuck.
IMHO, I think Kanger uses a gorilla to assemble the suckers!
I just put some PG on a qtip or bit of paper towel and smear on the orings and or up in the bottom of the barrel after every cleaning.Thanks again!

I do this with most all my attys.
One thing about the Kanger attys you can squonk a bunch and they will not leak around the bottom.
Got to looking this morning at the FT sold brass Goon. They too come
with a squonk pin pre-installed. That was a pleasant surprise.
--- Bit of opining ...
Sat down for a moment with some 32 awg Kanthal which thanks to a drill
and Allan key was four strands twisted. I wanted to check out the
Velocity V2 clone again. Heard some minor complaints regarding how it
took to wires varied from plain round Kanthal.
Dual coil set up using the twisted four strand 32 awg wire. I aimed to
hit 0.65 (R) oHm I am hitting that +\- 0.02 (R) so, I'm not too bent out
of shape. The wire is being held tightly by the grub screws. Did not
have any real issues slipping the wire through the generous 2 mm holes
in the posts. Had a minor issue with one coil having hot legs which did
not want to tune out, swapped it for a different coil that did tune out
alright.
This is purely my perception of it, a person can take it or leave it for
what it's worth. I see no issues with using wire other than plain round
Kanthal in the Velocity style decks, or the Velocity clones. I have used
Clapton wire in the Velocity clone decks without issue as well. Again,
only my look at it but I'm not seeing any issues.

Yeah, I am not stuck on brass....just a match. I like the idea of an ultem cap, specially since I can have a matching ultem button made for the CC, but can't seem to find one cheaply enough
Ughh I need a new bf atty! Anyone have some for sale?

2fdeal has some. I just threw the dice and ordered a Halady clone, have never used this company before but from all the reviews on their site and others the shenray is the better clone. They have it for $10.50 free ship. Yea, like after the bucks we pay for the bf mods who gives a shit about $5, right? lol
Totally interested. Pm me!
Thanks for the heads up but I'm looking for something state side, not wanting to wait for shipping lol.

When did that get announced?
You must have the "newer" nofear, the one with adjustable air flow. I have the "older " one, with just the one itsy bitsy hole.
Just saw it "in the other side"
Finally coiled a Nuppin last night I've had for about 1.5 yrs. DAMN, what a flavorful vape from that tiny beast. Lately I been going backwards, using the tighter bottom fed attys I've had put away.
I must say, they beat the hell out of ANY 22-40 mm attys. Also coiled a Manta 2 and the Marquis, forgot what a fantastic vape those attys are too.

Oh yea, they're staying in the stash now. Actually I had decided to keep them only yesterday, and had ordered four new button tops for them from Liion Wholesale
Yeah - I bought mine when they were at peak. Paid extra for my preference in the color of the fucking led display even.
Couldn't bring myself to sell when the value tanked.
But I have revived my Mini as a "stealth dripper" of sorts - so I'm actually using it again!
(took 3 tries to build a coil that was over 1 ohm for it - I'm out of practice, lol)

Slick, I don't own one, but I've never read anyone hating the mod, except the provari liberal leftists....Oh yea, they're staying in the stash now. Actually I had decided to keep them only yesterday, and had ordered four new button tops for them from Liion Wholesale

Oh I vaped the shit out of mine - and they are still pretty. But minis are tubes, and tubes are a pain, even with the side button.
I used to keep mine in a fancy glass vase on my desk
