So if you were getting a very dark burl wood Limelite Freehand S made, would you want it just micromeshed or clearcoated? Most of the nice stabwood Freehands I see are clearcoated.

Edit: BTW, I might have a hardware addiction. Also if I used the wrong term for the wood grain or color please clue me in, thanks.

depends on the wood type, but natural waxed most times

Stabilized wood isn't going to feel much like wood, so you might as well get the looks a clear coat will produce.

With natural wood, there's very much a trade-off between the look of a clear coat vs. the hand-feel of an oil/wax finish.

I'm having second thoughts about it that's why I asked for opinions or help. I basically requested it to be natural if it looks ok, clearcoated if the piece ended up revealing itself to need it.

I tried the link and evidently I have to be a member of ECF to view.

Is this your sale of a Chalice? If so, can you post it here?

Not mine, just an FYI

Brasso is standard-issue the Corps, I assume?
Nope.......Nevr-dull.......but none of my local stores had it :)

Nevr-dull is superior to brasso....it comes in a can of pre-soaked wadding....no abrasives in it like brasso has.

Idk if you saw pics or not, but the pin sticks up a good 3-4mm past the deck
I think all the pics and reviewer samples are preproduction.They had to send the 510s out to some reviewers separately.Hopefully they sort that out before it hits the market

Is anyone else considering the the GeekVape Peerless? Comes with bf pin. Looks really sweet.

I might try one out just because of the relatively low cost, but I don't have super high hopes for it as a squonk atomizer. I generally prefer very shallow juice wells for bottom feeding and this one is DEEP.

The only pics I've found so far are by GeekVape and they focus on the pretties - and the deck. Haven't seen a good shot of the wells - but I can see how this one probably has deep wells. Deeper than needed. :(

Have you found a shot of that? I've not seen anything showing the BF pin installed.

I've got one of those skywalkers sitting in a cart. Actually, in two different carts (Fasttech and 3F). Likely will end up pulling the trigger on one of them, unless something irresistable pops up elsewhere before the itch gets scratched.

I quite like the 22mm Troll v2 as a squonk attie. It does have a freaking 10mm deep well. But I've had zero issues, running it in z-coil mode mostly

If an item is pitched as squonking & they didn't come with a fucking pin from the get-go, that shit is just wrong
That's because we are an afterthought even if they claim we are the inspiration behind the design.
No.
You put a fucking pin with a hole in it. It's not for squonking. It's for making more money.

Just took a look at the others and the Chalice lll is not even showing up anymore. I have to say it is very good and if I run across another, I'm snagging it.
You guys and gals got me started on the twisted fused claptons:cuss2: So, I made a 34gx2/40g SS coil for the Origen Tiny. It is very, very nice.

Struggling to build on the O16 deck. I just don't have the wire to build anything that small that isn't going to be low ohms

So I've got an offer to make if anyone is interested.
I have this wood squonker left and I want it out of my life, time to clear my desk for good.
I have the firefly for sale in the classifieds here, but $75 for the box and the firefly comes included for free. Done with it.
I'm not posting this offer elsewhere, just wanted to give the chance to some good folks who may be interested.

I'll also offer a hefty friendly squonker discount on the blue orca posted for sale if anyone is interested.
I'll lower the price in a couple of days on the FS post but for now it's just for you bonkers squonkers.
