New wood...yes!

So far I’ve stuck to my no more vape gear in 2019 promise (except, as I’ve stated, if they finally release that Taifun squonk mod this year.)
I just picked a Hussar Torpedo micro...... What do you think sexy 22mm.....

Yeah.... I went to check my sugar and it was 54...... Kind of low and dizzy..... And slipped into the bathtub and took all (3-4) mods in with me that had sitting on the tub...

Batteries flying everywhere..... But only broke my tip........ That didn't sound right .......

What about Chinese Stabwood :giggle: !!
Definitely don't have Chinese woods....... Asmodus are put together in China, but are hand picked Stabwood from California.......

And most stabwoods are processed in Florida specially Yihi SL tubes ........ Yihi does that too for example the Yihi SL class Stabwood........ Some batches are made in Florida...... And sold in specialty shops like " Breathe Vapelounge" in Wyandotte, Michigan....

Not had issues with Ultroner 'yet'. They do a lot of collabs and most are pretty solid. This mod is well built, has a mosfet and seems solid.
Ultroners quality is suberb...... Look at that new one that Gorgon loves...... And look at The Minikin Kodama........as long is is a good piece of wood they are all beautiful.....

I was figuring all my Asmodus and Yihi mods are mass produced in China. Maybe some day I’ll be able to afford a better one.

But I’m very happy with the ones I have now!

Oh shit Manny. I did not realize you fell! I am sorry! You are not "old" but with Diabetes. even in mid 50's you can break hip if you fall. Bad news. You are lucky. Especially batteries in bathtub. Unlikely to electrocute you but it could. 1 volt will electrocute you.in water. Damn lucky. Worse is they explode. Well not worse obviously but bad indeed. I hope the Mods are okay. Diabetes is no joke. You know that. You have to take care of it. Do not let blood sugar go so low. Take your insulin. You get ketoacidosis. You die from that shit. You know. That top hat like mine says $15,000. So good deal. I do not mind from Middle East. Many very rich people there. If they have this wood they are upper class. Not everyone is a bad guy there. Unfortunately they have to live with the fighting. Most rich people there live in a fortified Mansion. My walls adorned with original master works. Picasso, Chagall, Rembrandt. Someone asked me if those are "prints". I said no they are original. I think the home speaks for itself. I do not mean to be a dick though. Just sharing. Right now I play with my balls but of course no response. Okay too much information LOL. Actually they were just itching in this chair all day. It is the best chair of course but between body going wild it is uncomfortable. I wonder if Doc can give me tranquilizers will help. The issue is they interact with the hard pain killers. You cannot say the name of that stuff here but y'all know what it is. I am afraid to use my Top Hat since I drop shit. Shit just flies out of my hand. Get back Primo in a month. He said screen was dead though. So then off to Evolv. At least it unscrews. Glued on IMO is not great. I really hope he does not get it stuck on then. Shit, I call my nurse up here and go to bed. I cannot sleep much.

Oh shit Manny that picture is when I was coming up. although not sure if that is 1900's or 1800's. I believe early 1900's. See Gorgon was the first computer game with graphics. On Apple. I wrote it. 27 is the year my brother was born. I was born in 1930's. What I think that picture is from. Man, you should have seen cars back then. Like a buggy with a small motor you crank around up front to start it. Compared to today with GPS, Voice control ETC. LOL. I have seen a lot in my lifetime. I wonder what I ever did before the internet! Obviously we managed. Great depression sucked but we were very wealthy. So did not affect us much. Luckily. Again, I do not mean to be a dick. Just telling the truth. Back in the 1800's my Dad made $1,000 a week! That sounds like minimum wage today. Back then it was equivalent to Billions today. Very odd. How times have changed. I have many old pictures like that in the basement.I do not look at them much. Prefer today obviously. Man new kid coming up today...What they will see! Perhaps total destruction of Earth! I hope not. We are heading that way though. I do not mean War. I mean the environment. Maybe no Sun or Oxygen left! Again, I hope not!

What is this mod? I love the colors and if it has a mosfet that’s cool. Is it semi regulated w a chip for basic safety issues?

Ultroner mini side fire. And it is cheap. Under 100 US. Takes an 18350. Mech with mosfet and the mosfet is an Utroner chip. However, the Cthulhu mini mosfet also fits (you want their newest chip - old one was flawed). A mosfet does not make a mech mod regulated just safer to use. As long as you build above .8 ohms you are fine. Very neat, small mod. I hate pods. So a carry around little pocket friendly stab 18350 is my style.

There is also a KHW Colibri in stabwood that is similar and also not too expensive
https://www.khwmods.com/index.php/product/colibri-stone-mod-blue/
Cannot go wrong with KHW.

All their wood is American bought....... Even wood from anywhere in the world is good...... The process of a mod begins with a good block of stabilized wood......

The process of making a block of Stabwood is where a lot of the total cost is accrued..... That and polishing......

I fall every day....... We fall off or parapet walls unto roofs, we slip on loose gravel and roll into swales, we trip in attics, we step on screws and nails, we get stabbed by cactus.....

The possibility of getting hurt daily is always there......

We get somehow injured daily, pinched fingers and shots to the shin are a daily occurrence..... Me and Dale are always getting hurt......

When I fell I was fully clothed....... I just went with serious high blood glucose and Vomiting and diarrhea for 3 or 4 days...... Man I felt I was ready to die...... Dizzy and simply sick..... Didn't eat for days just drinking water and iodine........

It's not about nationality, it's about the mod disappearing or getting damaged and even getting clones..... There is always the possibility that customs takes it too......

Manny, I did not mean about nationality. I meant exactly what you said but I would not worry. Yes, It is a place of "interest" to Customs but they Xray it and/or open it. So they know it is nothing bad. Some of the best wood comes from Africa and Asia. Borneo has great trees only there. Brazil in the rain forest has great wood only there. However an American Lemon tree makes for amazing wood. Very hard to work with. I have seen top end guitars with Lemon but never a Mod.Madagascar has great wood only there. I am talking dark woods like Ebony, blood wood, rosewood. Also "fruit wood" which the Lemon would fall under. Although exotic fruits only indigenous to Africa. I never see anything Like this stuff in Mods. Sometimes in $$$ guitars. I guess for a Mod it is too expensive and labor intensive, again expensive. Although if they could do the Top Hat's.... I am positive the going rate on yours, like mine is $15,000 so you stole that. I would never sell it! You said what? $1,700? That is now your most expensive Mod in outlay and true value? Honestly that is at least a lot more coveted than the Java. Especially with low serial but he did not make many to begin with. We both probably like the Java better but if you said to someone that knows their shit you can pick either one for free. I guarantee you they take the Top Hat. That was your most insane deal yet! The Java, you paid exactly what it was worth. The Top Hat, I gather you paid a small fraction of what it is worth. Money is not everything though. You can see why it is special. He placed each piece in the wet resin. Mine is Honey comb so he "pasted" hundreds of pieces. Either one is $15,000. Any of them. I would not go selling it though. It is a very special collectors piece. In fact I would use it very seldom if I were you. I have never used mine except to check that it works. I bought it new for about 2 Grand. About what you paid I think. Apparently it grossly appreciated.

Manny, you may be one tough Hombre but falling at your age is not cool at all. Break your fucking hip your career is over. I would try to avoid falling. I assume you wear shin guards and stuff though? Should wear a hard hat when needed too. They have OSHA for a good reason. You are self employed so rules do not apply but they should! Safety first. You know about Tag out Lock out too? You think some shit is de energized and bang! I seen a Friend get killed right in front of me. His Widow was awarded 72MM. At least he worked for a big company. He had 5 little kids why such a high settlement. Safety is no joking matter. I don't know your job but I see no reason to constantly fall. 5 more years you are 60, guaranteed to break something bad. I am sorry you got sick. You have to take your insulin man. I know it sucks but what can you do? Luckily, amazingly the one good thing I have is my A1C. It is much lower than average. Probably because I am a vegan and don't even eat much at that. I was 6'3" but shrunk like all old folks. However now I am down to about 145#. I am just a shribbled old bastard. I want out of this chair but I take Two steps fall on my face. I no longer have any Locomotion, gross or fine motor. It is all good though with technology. When I was young everyone had Polio. Vaccine not invented yet. No technology then. I imagine it sucked for those kids. Well, they did not live long anyways. You know Manny, now they have a blood test you do not need to prick your finger. Maybe you want that? Not sure what it is but I saw advertisement on TV. I am just glad I did not get sick until technology evolved. Shit, maybe one day they have a cure for every illness! If the earth is not depleted by then.

Look at the individual pieces of wood....... It's amazing..... I counted 120+ look at all three sides...........

Nice looking JoJo..... The DNA 75 are perfect...... They went DNA75c as a marketing tool...... All they changed was the screen and the ability to change the look on Escribe....... performance is the same as a DNA 75c

And that replay is also a hype...... Nice mod

Yeah, I would not use the Top Hat too much. Mine must have Thousands of pieces because it is thoroughly congruent little honeycomb shapes. He hand placed every one. Any of them should be worth $15,000. We both cashed in Manny. Although, speaking for myself I will never sell it. I imagine you won't either.

Glad you kept the Duke. It is a great Mod. Also worth 3x what both of us paid. You never know what a Mod will be worth. It is more like a lottery than an investment. It is no investment IMO. I just do not like VA's big buttons. Otherwise they are fantastic.

DNA color actually sucks. The screen always goes in mere months. YMMV on that though.

Well Gorgon I guess my collection days are over..... I reached (10) most mods that have been discontinued, companies are closed, and one custom made for mua...........

Well at least here is a mod shot with all of them.......

Yeah I'm not giving the Duke away and I'm not shipping it to Europe....... Several German guys and maybe ten Brits want it..... Had a guy today tell me I'll pay you $1,500 for the Duke and you can FedEx it to me in Qatar....... I was like where the hell is Qatar....... Ha ha....

There are people with money oversees, I just don't want to try and take a risk...... I had some deals go bad before....... They Payal you......

Then they say the mod never arrived, they file a claim with PayPal and block my Paypal account during investigation, then I'm out of mod and money because they return the payment to the buyer and the seller gets screwed ......

I'm done with that shit......

Qatar is by Kuwait I believe. You would be surprised what kind of money some people have everywhere in the world.
For instance Dubai is far from a dump. They are more advanced than the USA! A cup of coffee is $30USD there!
I am not saying racism I just mean there are rich people everywhere. Although more poor than rich in most countries. Just like the US actually.

Today Gorgon decided to go plastic....

Yeah it's a place with tons of cash and oil, but I send $1,500 mod over there and the post man keeps it...... Or it falls off the Camel somewhere......

Not worth my time and misfortune........

I finally got around to deciding what to use as a finish for the Minikin V2. A friend gave me a jug of water based hardwood floor refinisher so I decided to give it a try. I put on 3 coats allowing them to dry 24 hours in between and micro meshing w 1200 as well.

I’m pretty happy with how it came out. 52AAC157-B6FC-42A8-B733-DCD3D2E629B1.jpeg BD1054E2-139D-4BD8-AD7D-B1F4F0CA98E2.jpeg C47790F0-D2EA-4C17-AB40-A3675F126E8F.jpeg
