It is quite stable....more-so than most of the regulated boxes out there.

Well, honestly, I really doubt that I'd ever find a wood & brass mod for less that didn't suck horribly.
If I don't get this, it's like $35 on FT, but not sure how much I trust them not to change manufacturers.
For me, $30 is a fairly big purchase. So, I just like the idea of hashing it out with folks who know more about 'em than I.
I'll sleep on it though...see what happens.
Let me put it this way....I paid $49 and STILL feel it was worth that. I really think you will be quite happy with it....the thing is as solid as they come, and the wood is NOT shit. The authentic has Kamagong wood .....and whilst it is pretty and has a granite tight grain and durability...it is VERY prone to swelling and shrinking. I have a Kamagong Classique and almost cannae remove the door! It will be permanently fused to the box if I don't get it a wee shaved on the top edge before summer.Well, honestly, I really doubt that I'd ever find a wood & brass mod for less that didn't suck horribly.

Dang...
I've seen similar wood at a local lumber place...Ironwood of a sort, isn't it?
No clue as to what this clone is made of, but likely some Chinese hardwood. Peeps say it's lighter and more grained than the Auth.
A user pic:
Yeppers, I really dig the thing.
There is more grain...but smooth to the touch and solid hardwood.
This is one of the prettier patterns of Kamagong (Philippine Ironwood) on my Classique.
That's some beautiful hard wood ya have there.
Nite Nite loveOk folks, I'm gonna turn into a pumpkin if I don't shut down, see ya'll tomorrow

What I really like is the Black Palm on my "Duke". Back side of the door is raw.....left is the lacquered exteriour.
Nice!
So many pretty woods....Cocobolo is still a fave.
I miss my pool cue that was made of that stuff...so heavy and purdy.
Funny you mention Cocobolo....my other box guy is making me a triple 18650 prototype in that wood. Situations have arisen quite recently that cause me to probably pass on it.

Stuff is heavy too..
Here is my cue from 2010..
That's solid Colobolo except for the maple shaft and whatever wood that screw was. Nobody knew, but it was nearly orange and hard as fuck. Brass weights were nice too.
Definitely vintage as the case was real leather and made in Japan. No brand or labels on the cue, just one inlaid dot on the butt. My guess is, it was bespoke.
I miss that thing.
VERY posh!Stuff is heavy too..

Ya man, I used to be into pool cues like you are box mods...lol.
I once had one entirely made of Birdseye Maple, even the shaft. It was glorious.
Oh NO. Were all out of "lerts" Have some here somewhere. Guess I should tell someone.
One more for the road...
Not the most expensive cue I ever owned, but one of the most fun and beautiful in an understated way.
One of the hardest hitting cue I've ever had too. Perfect dime hard leather tip on that thing..
Take care Franci...I appreciate the feedback on the mod.

I found out what a Reindeer mechanic does this year. Parties down here in Texas. His Sleigh landed on my van. Wanted a "sun roof" any way.

I built my SQuape and plopped it onto my Zero, omg I am not use to that much air and flavor.......that thingie rocks!
I do, I am impressed so far, I am only doing 1.2 at 20 watts, but so far if the clouds don't kill me with all that air I might take the resistance down further
I am still testing this one. Might take years. Glad I quit smoking. 
That's not bad....sweet spot when dripping for me is usually .8ohms, so not sure on a tank, I never go that low
I admit, I coughed up a lung and had to close up some of that air You become accustomed to that...it wears off. I build my Orchids @ .17ohmsThat's not bad....sweet spot when dripping for me is usually .8ohms, so not sure on a tank, I never go that low
Truthful question. Does anybody miss smoking? I can stand next to someone smoking and I could care less. Just wondering.
Not sure that I so much "miss" smoking.....it is just a habit that I feel I have not fully conquered yet.
Sometimes... but most of the time no!

I dont miss smoking at all,i tried a cig the day i got my(bad ass)900mah/CE4 combo,and i almost threw up it tasted so nasty,i got my first rig and never finished the pak of cigs i had open,its been about 2 1/2 years,,the way these devices have progressed in that time is astounding,i could never go back and rely on that ce4 to work for me now,but it did the trick when i needed it to,,,,,,,,,i also had my mind set on quitting cigs,if you dont want to quit,your not gonna quit
So go ahead and call me a quitter,i earned it and am very proud of it.

Maybe Kelli's holding a private party and we weren't invited.
