Really like what you have done to both of your sabers. Am concerned about your use of a solid or non-vented stunt pommel with sound. Not a good idea as it could actually damage the speaker and the heat that cannot be dissipated easily from inside the hilt also could cause problems.
pt to you. :D Title: Re: Dark Initiate V4 review. Post by: Lord Japarco on April 26, 2016, 03:19:49 PM Nice review Rapine. I liked that pike you made there, looks cool. And that sentinel looks great, it seems more of a dark side customization, and with the blue light it doesn't match a lot...lol..., you did a good job on the hilt. Let see if I put some O-Rings on my sentinel so it doesn't look so plain... points for you...may the force be with you...

I put the solid pommel on the bottom of the pike, and added grit tape to it. I have a vented coupler before the first yari extension. :)The pommel you saw on it was MM's, had a hole in the bottom, and was borrowed for video purposes...lol I've ordered some colour disks - gonna throw a red on the GB, and see if I get purple. Meh - worth a try. Title: Re: Dark Initiate V4 review. Post by: Samhain138 on April 26, 2016, 04:43:00 PM Thanks guys. :) I put the solid pommel on the bottom of the pike, and added grit tape to it.

Meh - worth a try. Its not worth it, trust me. I've tried to turn my GB grab bag purple and it's so dim it's laughable. Red almost completely darks the saber out. I think pink and orange made it kinda purple but I forget. Either way it's pretty terrible. Title: Re: Dark Initiate V4 review.
