Vapor Flask

[jaxgator]

Link to what you're looking at Jax? (we poor people like to dream)

There really isn't a link per se as they are not sold in B&Ms. Just search Gepetto Elite V2 mod.

Glad you mentioned a link BNEAT I was wondering what a "stab wood mod" is also.

Stabilized Wood Mod.

"...A nagging problem with some handle materials, especially ivory, horn and wood, is a tendency to shrink and warp because of different humidities in various parts of the country...

...The solution is to stabilize the applicable handle materials so they can't dry out...

...Two-part process requires applying acrylic resins to a handle material followed by a curing period. The result is a water-resistant, harder-than-untreated wood that can be machined and drilled, and that can be polished to any finish you'd put on steel, from satin to a high gloss..."

Hey Jax
How about something like these?

This one is a DNA40 made of Curly Tiger Maple with Black Maple Sides.

That looks nice LJF. What is it?

Ok.I didn't want to let this secret out but I guess I should have thought of that before I posted the pics!
These are Redsky Mods. The larger DNA40 is called a Destroyer for tanks. The sqounker is called a Cutlass. He also makes them in mech. Those are the Maurader for tanks and the Cruiser for sqounking. He also makes desk caddys.

He just made a batch of mods that are up on ECF but there are few left. He is a one man operation so they are not up often and you need to check his ECF thread to see when he is making a new batch. The Destroyer and Cutlass come in both DNA40 and DNA30. He stuff is great quality and are great looking to boot!

Here is the latest link for the ECF thread:
RSM - Exotic wood PV's & desk caddies - Part 3 | Page 138 | E-Cigarette Forum

Here is his website:
Welcome to Red Sky Mods -

Maybe I'll catch you there. Enjoy!

Want it, love the wood, I have 2 PVA40's on the way with DNA40's inside possibly a 3rd

Got the wife's Marslla back. It had to go in twice for the using only one battery problem. Hopefully fixed now. Happy Preston and the crew are so easy to work with to get the flasks repaired.

Finally pulled the trigger last night on an authentic red vapor flask and love it. Was difficult at best to justify paying the $300 for a long time, but glad I did now. My sx mini m and rdna sharky are finally getting a rest. I do have one question for my fellow flask owners out there. Few minutes ago I went to charge for the first time and noticed the charge port is loose and wobbly. Do any of you guys have this issue? Not sure if I should be concerned as I do charge most my batteries out of the devices in a luc- v4 anyway. I really love the feel of this little rascal and can't seem to put it down.

The wobbly usb port is a universal attribute of many VFs. Some seem more loose than others.

I don't think many folks use it to charge and do their charging in an external device. The usb us rather slow.

VF has good CS. You can always send it in.

Mine is very "wobbly" too, but I use it every night without any problem. I have no desire to remove my batteries...ever!

I do remove them every now and then to confirm that they're discharging at the same rate, but other than that, they never leave their snug little homes.

BNEAT,

Wobbly has been since day one and was quit the issue for a time. Then VF said it was to allow venting of the bats - wont to by some swamp land.

By the way I lived in and worked in the swamps of Louisiana believe me that is closer to nature than I ever want to get again.

One other thing on the USB port it is not actually the port that is loose. The USB port connector is firmly attached to a postage stamp size circuit board and the board is slid into the plastic sled which doesn't hold the circuit board very firmly. Short story the whole USB board is loose in the holder which shouldn't cause any harm (it is not like the USB connections to the board are wiggly and going to break given enough time).

That's good to know, I can tell the craftsmanship of this device is better than most of my mods. I really want the 5 pawns edition now. I have the fever.

 

[scottwess]

Fever to the point that Iam showing flask to my buddy that doesn't vape, smoke or collect anything. He didn't show interest so after the 2nd time I said , dude check this out , he says " yeah, yeah, ok it's just another Chinese vape puffer " I replied, ok now you're getting your as@#s whipped.

It's attached to a plastic sled. The area where the sled sits does not connect to the body where the USB is. Unfortunately, this is normal.

Ahhhh I see. That entire portion of the sled flexes. They could do better that that at $300. a copy imo.

I've been trying too resist the VF, but my heart wasn't in it.

So when I discovered a local vape store here in Kuala Lumpur selling the DNA40 I had to have it.

Went down there this evening and paid $310 USD, so I'm really hoping I've got an original and not some clone - but this is Asia!

I'm hoping you good people of the VF thread could confirm what I have.

The build quality is great and the battery covers line up, but what's bothering me is there is no VF logo above the USB.

Also the fire button, which is fine, doesn't take much pressure to push. I'd call it very light, but I remember PBUSARIO saying it was a very firm stiff button.

Here's some Pic's hope you can help:

 

[Rikk]

Temptation was to great for me too. I don't have a Logo above my USB port either. Vapor Flask, I believe, only started putting the logo above the USB a short time ago. So not having it shouldn't worry you.

I would say my fire button is light on the press too. From what I can see, I would say you have an original. I've had my Flask for several months now and I'm still in awe.

Congrats and enjoy!

Dupe posting...sorry!

Thanks Rikk, that makes me feel better about dropping $300+ on the VF plus four LG HE4's and a charger:
