I just wanted to update you guys on what's going on.

It turns out that all of the dyes Mayhem supplied me with are based on UK color codes, and don't technically exist in the USA.

The USA and...

As soon as possible. I have dye samples in house already, but I need to get testing done before they can be sent to customers.

It will be nice to have this readily available in America. I also have some other tricks up my sleeve for dye users, but that's going to have to wait. ;)

I'll do my best to keep this available to...

Thanks Mick, I got all of your PM's.

PM sent.

I'm still working on sourcing the raw materials over here, so I may just see about having you drop ship them to some customers to hold things off.

I think many people make their judgements based upon worst case scenario, heavily OC'ed i7 and such.


I think the fuzion is still a great block... pepople don't really seem to ever take flow and...

The best meter I've found for the price is the Hanna Instruments PWT (pure water tester), which tests microsiemens/conductivity.

Conductivity is a good general test of water purity, because as the...

The problem is that some of the distilled water suppliers have questionable quality standards.

In a large lab, for instance, you may order a 10,000 gallon tanker truck full of ASTM Type II Lab...

I don't doubt that one bit.

My worry comes from the sometimes very poor quality control that some brands of distilled water suppliers seem to use.

I was first alerted to it by the person who...

Fixed.

Do you have a PWT to test your water quality? I do, and I've seen some HORRIBLE quality "distilled" water, especially some of the generic brands.

The bottles to package this stuff cost...

Yeah I couldn't believe I actually got one.

The MCP355's were already out of stock. I got the 350 a day or two before the site was taken down due to too many orders. I think I ordered about 3-4...

I had a little spare cash in my paypal, and got a MCP350, an MCR220, 10ft of tubing, and 8 barbs for $62 shipped.

I didn't really plan on making the purchase until a little later because cash is...

I'm getting pretty close. I have one more large order I have to finish preparing for shipment this weekend, and then I'm going to kick in on the dyes.

Firstly, distilled is not readily available in all parts of the world like it is in the USA, and secondly, even the USA distilled can sometimes be of poor quality.

Even though you pay considerably...

I believe I know enough about Mayhem to say that he used proper sanitary procedures when bottling the water, and even if he didn't, there isn't a whole lot in there for bacteria to grow on.

I ship a LOT of packages monthly, I keep very up to date on shipping options and costs.

Even if it was a 3.5" model, it would be a squeeze, and would leave no safety margin in case of crushing. I...

They add fuel surcharges when gas prices go up, then "forget" to remove them when prices go down.




Molex pins can be shipped first class mail, they're under 11oz. First class mail is only a...

Thanks Mick, for letting me carry on the torch.

I need a few more weeks to get things caught up from when I was sick, and then I'm going to get a fresh start and begin to accept orders on this.

UPS prices have been skyocketing. The days of $7 ground packages have come and gone.

USPS flat rate are now almost $11, and that's very limited as far as what you can ship.

I just paid $17 to...

Another way you can look at it is that other reseller's prices are too low.

The price wars have gotten to the point where the manufacturers (myself and others) barely have any money to be made,...

Mick transferred the information I needed, so I am going to get started on researching suppliers, etc.

As mentioned before, I have a couple obligations to take care of before I can go into...

I'm sure it will. Mick's a good guy.

Even if we were to not end up working together, I'm sure that the dye will end up carrying on somehow. I know that Mick has been talking to others that are...

It appears that way. There are some exclusions, but I won't mention anything further until everything is completely finalized.

agreed



I actually felt bad saying anything even as I originally typed it, but I was rather ticked at the time and felt it necessary. It turns out that the contents of his last PM when...

Mick and I have worked things out.

His last message was very short, and I completely misinterpreted the meaning due to lack of information. It looks like things are back on track. :yepp:
