I figured you were real busy with work. That's okay, work always comes first.  }D Yeah it's really been hectic plus I really need this work to pay for my daughter's tuition. I never expected I would get that many order for such a simple e-cig mod part. It was actually my idea to use silver contacts in e-cig mods and now it's become a standard upgrade even in the west. |

Amazing! Did you make a mold to mass produce them, or are they one of a kind? They look so awesome... it's like machine made! } No molds for these, they're one of a kind and a pain to make lol. Every part is manually made. my god, you made this manually? *faint any tips how to make it precisely? |

You'd need lots of different tools to make these. I'm just lucky we have a jewelry shop that gives me access to a lot of tools to make these parts. It's also hard to teach anyone without showing them in person how it is done. |

Sorry guys, I'm really knee deep in work and it's gonna take a while to finish it since the order keeps flooding in everyweek. I haven't even updated my facebook account since I rarely have time to go online since I've been working 16 hours a day just to get all the pins done. I'll post when I am able to work on the figure again but for now I need to do this job since I need the money for my daughters tuition and some other things I need to fix like my motorbike.

Thanks guys but the tubes aren't made by me. What I do is make the silver contact points for these e-cigs and also make the logo for this particular mod. It takes a lot of manual labor to make the pins are I need to make everything manually except fot the logo which I need to cast for the purpose of consistency. It's not being marketed yet since production is having some problems due to shortages getting materials for the body. If production does increase I'll probably die from exhaustion so I'm gonna hire extra workers from our shop as I can only do 50 pieces per week working day and night. But I can't complain since this has given me a good flexible income and I am able to pay for my daughters tuition and other needs along with being able to fund my hobby. Anyway I will complete this figure but it will take a while since I have to prioritize work in the meantime.

Well, not really safe, but IT have to thank you Baron for quiting smoking. I hate cigarette second hand smoke with a passion (not so much cigars or pipes). Every time someone starts smoking a cigarette next to me, forcing me to inhale their second hand smoke, I rub my nose really hard and sneeze right on them. If I have to put up with their smoke, they'll have to put up with my flying spit, snot, and germs. Most of the time they move away. }D |

@tmz
Yeah I can understand people's distaste for second hand smoke so I only smoke in places far away from other people. I find it impolite to smoke near non smokers.
@baron
The vaping community here is quite small because a lot of ignorant people here like to stay ignorant and associate it with cigarette smoking. The government isn't also helping since they also want to ban it here because they deem it as a gateway to smoking a real cigarettes. I think the big tobacco companies here are making sure they have no competition and are influencing some of our politicians which isn't hard to do since they're mostly corrupt anyway.

I respect non-smokers and I never smoke near them when I'm outdoors.
But I get really pissed off when a non-smoker deliberately stands close to me
KNOWING that I already have a cigar lit, so I clench my knuckles and tense up
into Stomp mode as I glare that person in the eye until he or she finally gets
the message and moves away. It's the person's arrogance that annoys me.
Anyway, back on topic... may everyone enjoy a Happy July 4th with nice
fireworks. And I'm looking forward to seeing more cool custom robots
here made by Gravewolf!

I managed to get a few days off from my work and I'm making the joints for the legs to connect to the torso. I wasn't confident that the ball type joint would hold so I made joints that are similar to my old garada but with some refinements. It's really a head ache trying to design and make these joints putting poseability and durability as a priority. I still consider sterling silver a soft metal compared to brass and that's part of my design problems.  |
