I think the warning label would suit a SHMUP stick perfectly. It’s very similar to the DANGER alerts you get before a boss battle.
I’ve mailed out close to 30 of these straws already.
Wow. XD. What an awesomely simple mod. But lovely. Gotta raid the garage to find the dremel.
huh, was just at 7-11 the other day and didn’t notice these, from canada btw, you guys know if its just u.s.a thing?
I think it is. Every 7-11 I called in and around the Toronto area never heard of them. One store did know what I was talking about but they said they had them a long time ago…maybe they’ll be back more into the summer?
just a quick thanks to qweets for posting about this and jdm for suggesting the tubing cutter.
I got a purple and red one on my sticks now and they look dope…all for less then $10.
seriously cool shit guys, thanks again.
Been M.I.A for last week…been dealing with alot of BS from my family lately :arazz:
Sad to say, still no luck getting these to fit an LS-32. Spent close to $60 on different drill and grinding bits just for this. I’ve tried to hollow out the straws with a 3/8" spade bit and regular “twist” drill bit, then finishing it out with a dremel grinding bit. The only thing I’ve manged to create are aluminum twizzlers. The metal gets so thin that I end up crushing the end I’m holding while grinding the other. Tried it on a drill press also, same results.
Man that sucks. So I guess that leaves the option of splitting the straw down the side. Would that likely leave that edge sharp and unusable?
$60 spent for a shaft cover.
/Captain Kirk Facepalm.
He still gets to use the drill and grinding bits indefinitely though.
I after experimenting with the ones I had shipped to me, yes it does leave an edge that’s impossible to ignore. Also it looks terrible. There’s no way to get these to work with an LS-32. Which is a real shame since that’s what I put into most of my sticks.
If there is anyone willing to send me a red, black, and orange straw that is cut down to size, can you PM me and we can figure out a price and all that jazz?!
Thanks,
Felipe
Wish I have a black.
Those have been gone for while, including orange.
So I got a tube cutter, made a bunch of great shafts ( I needed a purple, red, and blue, for each of my sticks) but now I have a bunch of left over covers that I made for fun. Any one need some? PM if you’re looking for one, otherwise they are just going to sit in my house collecting dust.
My 7-11 has orange if you need one. I’d be more than happy to buy one and send it to you.
You are in CA right?
I have a black one here you can have, PM me if interested.
Yes, I’m CA.
I’ll contact you.
hmmm cant find any around my neighborhood, went to two already
any special labels i have to look for or what I should ask the clerks for
Wow, does yours really have orange?
Here I show you mine that I got last year.
I show it with compare to yellow and red color.
My orange also does not have the Caution at the end like the new ones.
If your 7-Eleven has orange, I would like to get.
Aside from the black I know I don’t have, I didn’t know they carried orange?
That’s my set of every color… (again, except black)
Hmm… Mine might be more yellow, I thought it looked orange though… I’ll take a pic tomorrow and show you.
