The Ship Model Forum

I just got back from my local vapor store getting a refill on my "juice". While I was waiting for the lady to mix up my batch and add the nicotine I noticed in the display counter some tweezers with white tips on them. I asked the lady about them and she said they were ceramic tipped tweezers used for wrapping the coils of the vapor cigs for those that like to "customize" them. I remembered reading somewhere that CA does not adhere to ceramic, so I picked up a pair ($13.00) to give them a try. To find a decent pair of tweezers that CA will not stick to would be a God send in dealing with PE and even small plastic parts. I'll try to get a pic or two tonight and after I have had a chance to try them out post a report on how well they perform along with a pic or two. Hopefully, I've stumbled on a real find here and not something that is going to wind up on the dustbin of "well, it sounded good at the time!".

Sounds like a great thing if it works out.

I've been meaning to post a report. They do work great. If you get a little CA on them you can wipe it off with a paper towel if it is still wet. If it has dried, put a little acetone on the paper towel and gently wipe the dried CA off. CA will not stick to these things. Highly recommended!

Small parts don't slip out, or go pinging away?

So far I have not had a problem with that, and I've been using them on a Dragon DD kit, so you know little tiny pieces abound. If you are careful how you grip the item, it doesn't seem to be a major problem.
