Nice!...I noticed you have a dishwasher in your garden shed....

Lol, it was fairly new when my missus decided that she wanted a new fitted kitchen with inbuilt dishwasher. I put it in the shed intending to give it away but never got around to it.

This is my first attempt at anodising/dyeing. It's a 18650 mosfet mod.

Very cool metal/wood hybrid that ends up with the "right" form-factor.

Very cool design @Mandro... Its nice to something completely different for a squonker for a change. Excellent work.

Very unusual design and simply wonderful results. Love it!

Very cool mod Mandro. Thinking outside the box. I like that.

Soon to have my customized squonking box. Will post pictures and the specs when it's here.
Also working on building my own box

Just finished converting this...

...into this.

The original cheapo mod had been sitting in a box for over a year, after losing out to Nikita for my first squonker conversion. Glad to finally get to it, and still get a kick out of the seeing the original price.

Quite nice sir

Looks good,what is that small hole next to the sqounk hole for though?
Ft has some great options for cheap mods to convert.I've done a couple Abaddon mods,they are tricky to convert though.I just ordered my latest project,i love wood mods,and for $20 i had to get this one,it was a must haha.

Since the mod was so cheap and already had an odd shape I did some things strictly on a whim: oversize circular squonk hole, little "moon" hole next to it (no purpose), three holes on the opposite side so I could have light shine through (useful for seeing juice level when using a smoke colored bottle) and of course messing with the overall shape and finish. I wanted a rough grainy finish. Will probably go back and make it a bit rougher than this.

That one's caught my eye too. Are you going to convert it, or decide when you get it apart?

Yeah,it will definitely get converted,as long as it's not too hard to get apart.In the discussions thread about that mod,someone said the block of wood inside at the top was glued in really good and they couldn't get it out,so if it looks like something may break then i'll stop,but as of right now it's definitely scheduled for a conversion haha.If it's as nice as it looks,i may get a 2nd to keep stock though.

I haven't seen that thread. No pics of it disassembled?

Seems worth the gamble in any case. It's big, which at least gives you some space to work with if you have to replace all the upper hardware.

I must of been thinking about the discussion on another wood mod i seen on there,as i went back and looked and didn't see it on this one,so hopefully it will come out fairly easy.No,i haven't seen any disassembled pics anywhere,it would definitely be nice if there was,so i have an idea of what to expect.In the picture with the door off,it looks like a wire running down the right side,but i can't tell if it's wire,or a copper strip with heat shrink.
If it is wired,it shouldn't be too hard to come up with a better solution.

Agree. I'd say wired, and wired everywhere up top as well. No mosfet, just the high flush switch in line. Seems to me even if you destroy the positive battery block getting it out, it's easy to fashion one better for disassembly and reassembly.

Yeah,i seen a better picture of it with the door off,and it is definitely wire running down the side,looks to be pretty thick gauge,but i'll still see what i can come up with for a true mechanical connection,or just make sure it's all heavy gauge wire if it looks to be to much work to go all mechanical,since it looks like it may be tricky with the button at an angle.

I agree about sticking with wired on this one. Although with no mosfet I've welded a few of those switches--can't expect much from the stock switch--they're available in high amp ratings at decent prices. A good one can last quite a long time.

The only thing that's kept me back from buying one of these mods was simply that I fire with my index finger, and this shape is the other way around.
