Using an 0.8 ohm TEMCo A-1 Kanthal horizontal coil in the SS Veritas RDA at 20W.
Flavor for days...and ya could run it over with yer car..Twisted420 did..before the mod review . ;)

I bought two of 'em for $10/ea. back in the day. One sits in my 'go bag' as it'll survive anything.

This poor rev4a was so hammered around the edges I didn't think I would get it to look this good. I can live with this now. Took about 3 hours of light sanding to get the gouges out lol. Still has some Beauty marks. Get it too nice and I won't want to use it.

I’d fill the divots with a bonding agent and sand before removing to much aluminum material.

Then can use a nice color base enamel, then the rubberized spray in a light coat.

This would have a two tone grippy feel, especially if you use some really opposite spectrum base colors... and with the light rubberized coating, those base colors would be slightly transparent especially in light.



For Skillets that is

Got the Reactor clone in today!
I like it...it's one of the biggest, chunkiest mods I own now, but since it's solid aluminum, it's nowhere as heavy as say, the Predator 228...which is smaller. :D

The Authentic:

This has this semi-glaze on it kinda like the Aspire NX-75, I think it'll be removed shortly. Let it Shine! ;)

(also got in the amazing LostArt Goon 1.5 sRDA, but it's taking a bath ATM.)

*used one of my new 810-510 adapters from AMZ to fit a sorta-matchy DT on the RDA. Love the engraved stock one but metal DT's and I don't get along anymore.

Decided to let my asMODus Oni 167's freak flag fly....with a blue Dead Rabbit. :stars2:

This thing invented the term "fingerprint magnet"...it's an utterly psychodelic mirror.
I used my $1.50 Canon A520 for the shot, but still had to use the excellent de-noising filters in the G’MIC Plugin for the GIMP. They worked well.

The wrap wasn't bad, but just got tired of it and figured I can use it as a template for making a wrap from something else if I want. :)
