Wow Mosh thanks for the kind words, thats what its all about! The wood as I said seems to enhance to vapor experience, its subtle but distinct, very enjoyable! The granadillo is a super dense species, should handle rough harsh treatment. I have dropped mine several times. I am glad your enjoying it and look forward to hearing more from you. As far as price, it is what it is and this species is gonna be the base price. Granadillo is a beautiful wood and in the rosewood family, cocobolo is also in the rosewood family but is far more sought after and damn near 3 times the price just for the lumber. The SS is also a hefty price, being a small diameter tubing with a thick wall is expensive. My first guy wanted more than half the retail price just to do the work, I still had to buy the material. My guy now is cheaper but isn't that cheap. You also have to take into account I don't charge shipping ever! I ship worldwide for free on every order no matter where! Tube prices will vary due to species, the cocobolo and especialy the big oak will be more. Looked into gaboon ebony and wow that stuff is expensive. You should be able to push the screen out using the rod but it is not gonna be easy, the screen fits nice and snug, the clip on top is there to make sure it doesn't fall out. You may find you don't need the clip but thats all up to you. Take your time and you should be able to remove it. Added a couple extra so don't sweat it if it doesn't come out that great. Thanks again for the review bro!
Have these available again for the second run, have enough for a 100pcs. and are available at my shopping cart!
