Hello again. Just Sharing my latest build. And requesting a little help from my fellow vapers. This is the type of mod where I am completely unsure If people will like it or Hate it or both. So I would very much appreciate as much feedback as possible. Even if you think its the gaudiest POS out there I will not mind just want some comments please.


I started out wanting a 18350 bottom feeder with wood and copper materials. About half way thru I had to rethink my plans. I originally wanted to use one of the pennys as my switch and center the 510 connector but I did not make the box just quite tall or wide enough. So plan B was make a mechanical top switch, move 510 over and add a button for sqounking. Since I had already drilled the holes I left the penny's as a design element.Then drill out the Pos. pin and enlarge the airholes on my atomizer and Bobsyouruncle.


Been testing it out for the last few days and everything working great. No leaks,,feeds and drains great. Very Light weight and feels wonderful in Hand


The Pictures that follow were taken in Various Light Sources. With some in Hand and next to a 18650,Chana 30w, and the 18500 bottom feeder I made last month. All for size comparison.

Hey Sonar505,I got to tell you that looks good like the size and using that penny was a good save,I can't tell you how many times I've change my builds half way through matter of fact that's what I'm in the middle of right now,for some reason it's hard to stay focus any ways good job.

Thank you. Yea no matter how hard I try to plan ahead. The first time I make something I always run into something I did not think of. And with hindsight I feel I should have.:confused:

I do love what you did. I have a penny that my son cut in half when he was a little tiny boy (he has the other half) and there is no amount of money I would sell it for. I thought about that half-a-penny when I saw what you had done here. Thanks for the good feeling?

actually ,i love it.
it's build for "lazy guys",i love it.
there is one question.it's hard to get another rda fit for this mod

can u modify it so we can use any rda on this bottom feed mod?

I have a feeling something is getting lost in translation.
Not sure what build for Lazy guys means?
As for modify. It already can use any size rda as long as it has a 510 connection.

Being a wood crafter myself I have to nit pick. The concept is good. Personally I don't like the plywood top and bottom plates, they would look better being solid wood. I also think you should have spent more time with the sanding to get a finer finish. The fit between the pieces is sloppy

I agree with you. with one exception its not just the top and bottom. all the wood is plywood built around a copper plate shell. And it is not going to be my first choice for another mod because it tends to chip out and does not take stain or poly very well. But I had it and the copper plate and decided what the hell lets see how it works. I do not believe you were nit picking and very much appreciate your honest assessment. So thank you very much.
