Ian I say go for it. In the end it turned out to be a lot less intimidating than I expected it to be. It is always so much more gratifying when your vaping on something that means a lot to you. Especially when you were the one who had a big hand in making it. Ken supplys the foundation and we produce our own masterpieces. It don't get any better than that.

Ok as promised here are a few photos. Remember I said it was simple, but it is special to me. I didn't put anything on the sides just the front. The symbol is the cattle brand that my dad had registered with the state of Oklahoma back when I was a kid. I grew up on a farm in central Oklahoma and we raised cows, farmed about 40 acres and all the usual stuff that goes along with it. As I grew older and became less interested in the farm my mom and decided that they wanted to work less and enjoy life more. Well mom passed away in 2005 and now dad has dementia. His memory isn't too good any more so he now lives with me and my family. My wife came up with the idea to kind of put together pictures of things he fondly talks about. Well raising cows and farming are often topics he reminisces about. So I started looking for pictures and things to help him with remembering. I searched and searched to get a picture of the cattle brand we had when I was a kid. No luck so I contacted the state Cattlemens Association to see if they could help. Well it took a few weeks but they finally located a copy of the brand registration book from the late sixties. And there it was. I now had a picture and eventually through luck found an old branding iron we used to use. So the symbol on the front of my Challenger has a lot of meaning for me. It is the cattle brand that told everyone who the cows belonged to. So there is no mistake it tells everyone who this pipe belongs too also. A big thanks goes out to Ken the PipeSmith for the pipe and being patient and always offering encouragement when I just kept putting it off because I was so afraid of screwing it up. I hope I didn't disappoint you Ken. Attachments:

I too am a fruits vapes. I'm kind of a purist but have a hard time finding brands, especially blueberry. Mt. Baker Vapers is pretty good though. Any suggestions? One of the best blueberrys I have found is from a company called Amped Eliquid, ampedliquid.com. They have several that are really good. Machette (spelling?) is the blueberry that I like best. Look them up on the web. They carry several different brands and one of the best things is on certain brands it is by 2 get one free. No matter what size you buy. My wife typically get 120 mills, she buys 2 and gets the third one free. Heck of a deal.

My next favorite place to relax and vape my pipe is to sit on the front porch and watch the birds on the bird feeder. If I'm lucky I'll also get to see the red fox that hangs around our property. Maybe even the wild turkeys that stroll across the yard sometimes. Then there is the road runner that will zip across the yard.

one of my favorite places to sit back and vape one of my pipes is on the patio with my dog Tucker. We just sit there and watch the wind sway the pine trees and listen to the rustle of the branches.
Where is your favorite place?
