hello fellas,
i got my customised ssv style hc and 'mini' wand from 7th floor on the weekend. check the pics

the ssv style hc was really nice. not sure if it is my imagination, but seems to hit a lot more consistently and my herb is more evenly brown rather than brown blackish as with the normal dbv hc. so, yeah, it is good, and no harm having an extra hc around.
the mini wand, on the other hand was not what i expected. on the pic with 3 wands, the custom mini-wand is on the left, middle normal dbv wand and on the right is the vapor-brothers mini-wand (i got it from a generous forum member, ta!). the custom mini looks like some dwarf-wand cause of the 'big head'. it's partially my own fault; i told them i wanted a "normal dbv wand with half bowl size", 7th floor said they knew 'exactly what i wanted'; and i then went with a "see what they'll come up with" attitude without giving any design specs.
half bowl size could have meant smaller bowl horizontally or vertically, and i guess they chose the vertical route. it seriously looks like some kinda dwarf wand, at least the top but the overall length is longer than the normal dbv wand, so my marble stir stick cannot reach the screen. ugghhh! still a workable wand but a bit hard to stir as the bowl height is so low. because it is so low, i am forced to use only a little herb, so it is a custom 'mini' by default
. and i wanted a lookalike dbv wand so i can use my vapir no2 screens but they gave me a custom with a 'smallish' bottom part instead.
anyway, i'm can always go to my normal wand or use the vapir bros mini. those who are interested in the ssc style hc won't be dissappointed, but for anything else 'custom' made, please don't be too adventurous and specify your design plans clearly, even when they tell you that 'we know exactly what you want'
