Good thing you got last handmade Mozaic. Should be very valuable. I doubt he got what VA has. VA is the same thing but on a much larger scale. His machine might take several hours to finish a Mod. VA's machines could do about 75 in several hours. There machines if they are what I think are about $450,000 each. They have 4 or 5 of them. Obviously they make a lot of money.

Huge grow room is an electrical nightmare. They actually have to actively cool the panels and trunk conductors. Coming into the building could be 6OT conductors! Hopefully they run that in EMT but it is not required in AZ. After Chicago fire EMT was required everywhere even low voltage IT cabling. WI is all Romex or at best flex. I had my home done in EMT because I care. We have all AFCI/GFCI and full sprinklers monitored photoelectric and ambient heat sensors. The 500 ton chiller is split. One side does the home then underground to the other buildings. The home has radiant heat. Forced air is nothing but dust and uneven heating. The outbuildings have blast pipe heaters. They are enclosed for floating hay ETC. open that is a disaster waiting to happen.

That is great they trained the bad Guy's. They might have known if they were more keen and prevented that tragedy. A bunch of split units is stupid but done in the 70's early 80's. Chiller and radiant is much more efficient. You are fixing machines everyday with that many systems. A lot of businesses finally tore it all out. The worst job is spacepak installer. Big place might bore thousands of 3" holes in concrete. Well worse jobs they get paid well.

I have a sign that says lawn sprinklers save your grass. Fire sprinklers save your ass! A friend who is a pipefitter gave it to me. In IL. it is all Union and that is good IMO. Except the Mafia. In WI no unions workers make much less and do not have many rights. They higher everyone PT with OT so no benefits. Total bullshit. Even very few Attorneys or Doctors are rich in WI. It is one of poorest states. Where I live is 27% below poverty level. So I took money and almost built a Palace. No one hates me though. We are actually the main employer here but pop. is only 63. Smallest town in country is in WI by us. Pop. 1 LOL.

That is up there with Manny's DPM, Paul! I love that. My one VA is similar but just not that nice.

Edit: Manny, I love the fire button. Metal button Reinforcada! Is there a gap on the right side of the faceplate?

Like it.... Nice wood..... The light wood and the green look real nice..... I had #059 all Stabwood not hybrid......sold it because I wanted a hand shaped mod..... Mine was just a heavy squared box ... It had nice Stabwood.......


Sold it to a buddy in Orlando..... It was nice and a Yihi SX 350J v2..... But it was a single 18650...... At 60 watts it killed a battery in a couple of hours......

No he told me it was Japan bought and they paid $310,000 including shipping and set up....

He was explaining it can do 3D boxes, Stabwood, Delrin and Ultem mods....

He can make also make RDA, mods, tips all with a push of some buttons and never touching the material block once in place ......

So I guess they are moving up with technology........

That mod from Paul is a nice Hybrid...... I know the company from 3 years ago..... I had a loco mod that was also a Stabwood 26650 with an Yihi SX 350J v2 ....

Man if I could count the Stabwoods I sold..... I have to like them and be a pleasure to use immediately or I become like .... Nope it has to go.....

I don't buy square boxes anymore..... This was my last square box..... And I like it because it's a DNA 400c.... 4s lipo and small ... Aircraft Stainless Steel 1100 paperweight...

Radiant heating has been around for years... I remember seeing my first in Germany in 1993 or 94..... I had an apartment with motion sensoring front glass doors and heated radiant floors beneath the tiles....

That was High tech for that time...... The Germans have the best heating and insulation that I have seen ....

The best brick work and roof components are still the Brits..... I saw 600 to 1500 year old slate roofs that were perfect with hay in the walls for insulation... Germans also used and some green folk are still using it......

The plumbing here is heading toward PEX, I just did a class and we couldn't blow any PEX below 500 LBS. PSI..... That shit is tougher and longer life than copper any day.....

Your place and location are nice..... I love animals.... I have been to the Frankfurt and Berlin Zoo and loved them.....

I have been to Augschwitz, Neuschwanstein, Lindenhof, and the Zugspitze in Garmisch Patenkirchen.....in Germany.....

I still haven't been to The Phoenix Zoo......

Yes! It’s almost here! I’ve watched this mod grow from an infant to an adult...and pretty soon she’ll be home. Can’t wait to see more.
Yeah.... Thanks man..... I wanted to do this so most people get an idea of what's involved in having a custom mod made......

The worst thing now it's coming from Indonesia......

Every time I ordered a Phillipines mod it takes forever...... Imagine now .....

It sits there at the airport for a week.... Then a couple of days to hit New York or California.....

Then another week or two in customs.......

But funny it takes it (4) days to get to Phoenix..... One day to Fountain Hills Arizona.... And another day to Scottsdale Arizona........ A week from California to my house..... Now ain't that some shit !

Nice Bro..... As long as I keep my DNA chips below 60 watts I get good life out of a 26650 all day most of the time.......

The Asmodus chip I get all day 90 watts with dual 18650...... Very good chip.....

I really like this little mod..... Nice wood, but I have worked some serious hours on it...... People think I add colors and mess with Photoshop..... Nope she is that way specially with good light.......

Not steam heat in here. hydronic boilers. Steam is old. Have radiant floors with window sensors too. Triple pane low 'E' polarized argon filled glass.

Controversy is PEX may leach water. Copper is more likely to actually. We have PEX. Tiny tubes carry a lot of water at 70 PSI.

Do you like the Duke or that is why you are trying to sell it? The Primo TI is rounded. Not a box and is actually their smallest Mod. Even in height.
1x18650 at 28W lasts me about 20 minutes! 4200MAH 40A lasts about 2 hours. Yes, I am a huffer.

I nearly killed the Primo. Put battery in backwards and then touched cap to frame shorting it and sparks. Duh. It did not boot. Figured fuck I blew the fuse. Tried again and worked. Has been working a day since then. May have weakened fuse but at 28W not worried. I get "decent" clouds at 28W in temp control 460F. No difference if I go all the way to 75. I think the super high wattage phase might be over or ending. DNA75C outsells DNA250C 3 to 1 according to Evolv. Most Stabwood are 1 battery so if DNA it is the 75C.

EH, I am going to bed now too. Stereo equipment coming Today in afternoon. UPS and Fedex drivers of mine are such huge assholes. Used to have good ones but they both retired. At 65 years old that job must become hard. They allow one driver up to 110#. Old drivers were very nice bring stuff in house I give them a beer. Oops I should not say that LOL. The new young guy's can gargle my balls.

Those Subohm tanks for best at the recommended wattage...... My Duke still has a nice shape.... But I'm done buying square boxes.....

I have bought square boxes for almost (6) years....

I had a 21700 primo TI ready to ship and decided ...... I'm glad I went to see it at the vape shop ..... And decided not my style...... The Face is too busy with crowns and leaves, I like the roundness in the back..... And it's small enough...... Some people will like it.... I didn't..... I realized now to built it for you or test it first before buying.......

I like the shape of the DPM, The Minikin Kodama, The Rebel Vapes mods....... I know it's subjective, but that mod is mostly in my hand all day....... So it needs to be comfortable.....

It's all prefference, I'm not telling people what to buy.... I tell you what I look for and what I buy...

We are buying mods that cost mostly over $300.00 and I finally realized screw it.... I'm making a mod for me exactly how I want it and there is only one ever made...... Only one.

They all talk about every Stabwood mod is unique, bullshit.... I realized I have a Minikin Kodama that looks different, but they make 100,000 mods in the same form factor.....

So is it unique.....?

Java is buffed like finish on Primo. You saw? Surprised you did not like engraved faceplate but battery cover. All personal preference. The Primo is small enough though. Oddly their shortest Mod. I know I said that 100 times already. The battery cover is awesome. I take it the Handicap was for me LOL? If so I do appreciate you put Mod on ground. What if 105 year old Lady pulled in HAHA. I love the Primo TI but all personal preference. I doubt most people need made for them, can probably find something that fits. Like I think feel in hand of the Knight sucks. Hand blocking screen Duh. I still would prefer your first DPM but see that is just me. I do not wish to Gamble on these things anymore and can't get in Mozaic. How much was Primo TI? I paid over $600 because it was #008 and good looking. Most of them were like $450. What if I had given JM over $800 and no refund? That is why I will not do it anymore. Personally I need to get from a store. So now sticking with DPM, VA and Ultroner/Asmodus. I might get the little YIHI what the heck it is cheap. I am not buying any more right now unless one I use breaks. Which is probably bound to happen. There is actually no difference on Crown IV in temp control from 28 to 75W. Might as well save the battery then. The thing just is not much for clouds. Primo is not a square box at least? I like it but no one else has to. I do not say it is as nice as a Mozaic or even DPM but I just personally like it.

Ha...saw that handicapped parking in a building I inspected today and decided to make you a custom pic.... Ha....

The Primo TI is on eBay...... The guy messaged me and asked if I would be interested in trading my Duke for (2) primo TI 21700.....

I almost did it but said.... Nah

He's selling them for $599 each......

You’re not alone Todd, I love my Primo. The engraved faceplate is gorgeous, and the way it plays with lighting and flows from gunmetal to silver, illuminating the lines in the design along the way gives it so much character. It feels amazing in my hand, and the color combo on mine could not have matched my taste better...

Dan your Primo is very nice. I love mine too. It could not suit me better either. Manny, I really think you should keep the Duke but of course up to you. Maybe soon worth much more than you are sorry you sold it to soon. Plus you are asking way to little IMO. The going price on those is $1,100 to $1,400. It will likely appreciate more. I see Primo already appreciated too. You can't go wrong with VA. Although you could probably easily get $2,500 for the Mozaic. Not that you are selling it after you waited so long. I like the curved grip and I also like Ninja Turtles!

The Primo's on Ebay are not even nearly as nice as mine or Dan's. Bet we could get $800 no problem. Especially with mine being such a low number. 008.

That is a custom knife? I collect knives to. I have a Rolex with the same band but it is a President Day/Date. My Submariners are all Stainless. I feel a Sub should not have Gold but that is just me. I know that is not a Sub but I am just mentioning it.

That Duke seems tailor made for Arizona. I bet you’ve even seen landscapes there that match the colors on that mod.

It would need more cut grass green, exhaust smoke grey, and marinara sauce red to match my view here in Jersey, haha.
Thanks man..... Just every landscape and setting is good to display wood.....

If you look you find..... I'm looking for some railroad tracks and another good match is rust......

I just see some interesting location and shoot..... But I have to carry mods in every pocket.... Ha ha

It is very pretty and looks very compact I'm size..... Does it vape Good.......

Starplat are unusual chip sets. If you do TC you set it for 1.1 watts in SS. For power mode it hits very fast. Very little ramp up. Starplat is the Russian chip that a few years ago everyone wanted. But really a DNA60 is better. I like it because it is so rare. Very few Harmonies were made. And yes it is small for an 18650. Slightly wider than a Stratum and the same height.

I put the wattage where I like it and hit that shit......

It was a good handcheck. The Lucifer barely fits a 30mm tank. There is slight overhang. Might have to swap out the MRN for a Fatality 25!
Some mods are funny like that..... They hold small atomizers..... That's why I like 26650 battery form factor.... Most mods that size hold 30mm without problems.....

And they are around 85mm in height...... I like small mods ....

That’s exactly why I’m not interested in the VA primo absolutely hate the face plate. Plain ss would’ve been fine for me no scrolls and flowery etchings.
