I knew I needed to label the items, this emphasizes that.
Like I said, a pre-view.
Probably the image I will use for a while. I used to do some food and small product photography, but this is digital and not as good IMO. (and shot on a t-shirt
) But being able to take a shot, and preview at once is a big plus for digital. This shot was one of many, using different on-board balance settings, then going into PhotoFilter (free-ware that I suggest you try).

P) shows the green 'e' and the 'pine tree' logos for the RoHS status.
N) RoHS compliant as well, this is not from the hardware store, and we will gladly
give part numbers and order history for any to
verify. BTW the solder was taken off the 1/2 kg roll and coiled around a shaft for
distinction from the hook up wire.

The price will be $150, there is a lot that goes into this before it gets shipped, and just to be clear, there will be a $30 fee, re-stocking charge, if you view the DVD and decide not to build the kit (refund of $150 - $30 = $120). Parts will be in clear shrink wrap packs, visible to all, the DVD explains the process, I will try to explain the skill level required by the builder on our web page and here on FC before hand and then in the DVD.. If you think you can do it, then decide you might be in over your head, you have a chance to get out cheap, don't open anything else and send it all back. This covers our original shipping, repackaging and other transaction fees. And this will discourage the (DVD) window shoppers, while giving an out, for honest folks who just change their mind. But I think good pics like this and others will tell you if you can handle the Pandora or not.

I am considering Ash as a Pandora alternative. I have used it for a few local friends and it's a nice species to consider. Maybe Cherry or Ash as the only two Pandora options?

When? About a month.Your input helps... Lots to do and I thought of more / better stuff as late as yesterday. Gonna do it when it's right. Serious about the Ash too, gonna talk to our hardwood man tomorrow. Gotta text label lots of stills, and do a few more vids and the hard part may be the text instructions. But I have been doing this a couple of years and I think I can make a decent stab at it.

Yes, an athletic sock 'top' doubled or tripled over, The Desinex Burger. Used it once or twice, back when grey athletic sock were popular. A good innovation, if laundered...
+++
ps. Thanks to all for the encouragement. PDPs will be handled by us, through our website, for now. If it gets out of hand, we will turn it over to VapeNow.com our trusted partner. We have no way to predict what may happen.

"the constant innovation...' Awww, thanks, so very much. Really means a lot.
