why in the hell would you want to do that?!

but just by looking at the pix tho.. it looks like it's got some mass to it...
but still GOLD PLATED WTF! why will anyone in there right mind do this?

it makes me wanna get it somehow and smash the maker in the head with it

They were gifts kiki.

btw I destroyed his clocks and benches with a piece of shit Koolance V1 Dice pot my first time ever using DICE rofl.

its actually ok...but kppotf1ee is better than that pot....i think dinos mentioned it in another thread....

plating is actually ok...:D

aside from the gemini, usually the better the pots look, the worse they perform. the f1ee is a chugly lol.

thank you so much for saying that! :thumbsup:
you have no idea how happy you just made me!

and what is chugly?

Looks more like a trophy for the shelf than a pot. Oooo Shiny....

OCM

yay!

You can tell by the internal pics that the pot lacks a lot of mass near the die... pretty though... Wouldn't mind having it gifted to me :)

Gold having better heat transfer properties, they plate it to help.

hmmm... let Kingpin redo one =)

I can't speak to the preformance, but the craftsmanship that went into it was stellar to say the least

Actually not in heat but electricity it is better.

that's some real good info there!
thank you

Good post preacher man :)

I totally forgot that also. Thought it was better in both.

The linked thread did say it was for oxidation reasons though.

make 1 in silver?

Lets see a 5 pound block of silver that probably weighed 10+ before cutting... yes you can recycle that silver but that is a process that costs money too

$352 US a pound of silver right now..

I would rather have a copper pot for not much more than a alum one :)

(copper currently is trading at 3.6 USD A pound...)

REALLY?! the difference it's HUGE!

but yeah...

BTW is the F1EE 100% copper?

The grade is high, but afaik there is no such thing as 100% anything. There's always impurities.

i see...

getting my F1EE sat!
so happy

You could always get the F1 plated if you wanted some bling.

I'm still waiting for my F1 to come in. USPS, hurry the frack up.

great minds think a like!

:taunt:

but naw i wanna keep F1EE as it is, cuz that's what making F1EE F1EE!

problem with that is silver is so soft. You'd mount it...and mount it and before you know it you're pouring LN2 on your shoes and calling 911 lol.

a!!! i see! :thumbsup:
