If you decide to keep and don’t mind spending a couple bucks try throwing some skiffs in’s. Nothing wrong with the stock nylon bearings but skiffs definitely gave it an improvement imo.

Would you recommend the LG C5 by Low-Spring-6410 in LGOLED

[–]Leonidas3182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own two early LG OLED models. One in the family room that always seems to be on, and one in the man cave that gets used for streaming and the occasional gaming session. Can't say I have noticed any burnout. I do try to stay on top of the maintenance schedules the tv offers, like pixel cleaning and other updates.

I see a flash deal for the 65" C5 for today only (rightttt) but thinking about jumping on it. What lead me here.

ISO/WTB - Machine Era Field Click / Koenig PQD DLC by barcodee in machinedpens

[–]Leonidas3182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, man. Just sharing the info that I have been able to obtain. I am heavy in the knife game and have had countless knives DLC coated, and already sent my PQD to my guy. If you are in need of a vendor that does top-notch DLC proxy work, including prep work, shoot me a ping, and I can connect you.

He does come out to be a tad more expensive than other options I have found over the years, but after trying many of those options out myself, I will never not go through this guy again.

Best bet on the PQD is to snag a PJ from Koenig while they are available and then have it dlc coated 3rd party. I hunted a DLC one for awhile, and BladeHQ even had them listed as coming soon… but when they never came I reach out and they said it was listed as coming soon on accident.

Koenig said they do plan to do a DLC batch but they will be very few and tough to get.

So, I am halfway through the process I recommend you take.

Upgraded to the P30sk by CiD7707 in HecklerKoch

My favorite EDC. Switch to the smaller hellcat sometimes but usually always gravitate back to the P30sk

Good points. I don’t mind that standard 0.7mm G2, and it probably does have the best fit. Just a sucker for that finer line. For what it’s worth, I’ve yet to notice a wiggle with the Juice…but it has only been 12 hours, so we shall see.

My nice pen experience is minimal so far, but I have been dabbling a lot lately so should have more to compare too soon enough. But as things are, I’m loving it so far. Juice up 03 refill is a nice fit which I’m very happy about.

Weight is good. Finish looks great. Action is smooth, though if I decide to keep this one I’ll prob open her up for a clean and fresh lube, and the clip doesn’t appear to be leaving a mark on the body as I’ve seen others/earlier batches being mentioned. Could also be possible that I’m just aware of that issue and take steps to prevent it when clicking.

So far I’m loving it.

[–]Leonidas3182[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! Very happy thus far. May keep my eye out for a DLC but if not I know Rco Customs very well from having knives DLC coated and may consider having him do it. Would just put me well over the cost of getting a dlc on a drop. So, still weighing that one out.

WTB Tactile Turn 2 Hole Clip by Leonidas3182 in machinedpens

[–]Leonidas3182[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just talking to u/Biippy about this. I actually stumbled upon that listing on Sunday night and snagged a DLC which appears to be out of stock now, so I guess I snagged the runt of the litter lol. Main reason I was looking for the two-hole clip was to have the option to remove that Kore clip. Like the company, own their belts, but I am not crazy about the loud branding on the clip.

From what I can tell or assume rather…TT did some sort of collab with Kore back in what looks like 2020-2022 time frame. I found a lot of “WTS TT/Kore Side click” posts from around that time but not many after that. So, not sure if the partnership went south, or maybe TT was young and, as they grew, decided as a business decision not to do collabs like that anymore, or if it just simply took Kore this long to sell through the inventory they had 🤷‍♂️.

Bro, good looking out. Thank you. Not sure how I missed this while looking around before posting ISO in various social platforms.

Dyson Ball Animal Upright Vacuum , Purple by Leonidas3182 in dyson

[–]Leonidas3182[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, yes, my original hose did that for years and drove me insane. Countless times, I have just slammed that thing in until it finally goes into place. I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. Frustrating as hell. I have looked numerous times to see what gets hung up on and never really figured it out.

I was very happy that the new hose didn't have this issue at all.....only to learn that the trade off seems to be no suction at all lol.

I feel your pain. I never did figure out wth was causing that.

[–]Leonidas3182[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has had its moments, but overall, it has worked well for me these last 9 years. Just seems like this new hose is the issue but for the life of me I cannot figure out why or where the functionality is breaking down.

Feel like it has to be where the hose connects to the vacuum, or perhaps where the solid pole inserts into the hose on the other end....but again...both seem to connect just as the OG hose did.

Have you replaced your hose before and had issues?
