For a while.Kinda agree. Looks like a wooden box with a gold lining.
Oops. Second coat of Danish oil drying and I just realized I forgot to cut the bottle ejector slot.
The small Varitube 510 arrived. Assembled and vaping away. Not sure if I'm completely done with the finish. Might want a bit more shine in this one.
Woody Frankenskull Clone
Well, just the hardware. Didn't much like my creaky "Resin Gray" Frankenskull body, but hard not to like the KISS mechanism inside. Construction is complete except for the magnets. Next step: shaping the outside and finishing. Body is made of paduak and the door is Corian from a sample I had laying around.

Hmmm, mid-century modern. Needs something. I'm thinking a few light holes through the back side, and/or a detail in the white face plate. Not sure yet. Definitely a bit more shine in the wood finish.

Me too. It's an oil finish, so it won't be high gloss, just a bit more "lick."
I dunno, elliptical at an angle, asymmetrical. Not a simple semicircle.
Oval? Yes, very comfortable, ditto for the big rounded button.
I need a lil help here. I started to attach wires to an old pcb im using to customize a box.
Do i need to run another negative wire for the neg battery terminal from pcb or can i use the same negative line thats going to the neg 510 nut to connect my neg batt term?

The bottom is the postive battery term so the battery will be facing positive down...im attaching a switch to the onboard tactical switch. Just want to know if i can use the negative side line for both neg 510 connection and neg battert connection.

I'm not qualified to give advice but if it was my build I would check continuity between the neg 510 and the neg battery tab on the board with a meter. If there is continuity, the board would be using a common neg so both 510 and battery could be connected to one terminal.
I was thingking it does because the sides are both negatives. Both provided negative current throughout a metal tube mod without a direct connection to the battery. The connection was made with the cap and a spring inside the cap.

Mandro, you are so humble my friend. I'll take your advice any day. You've been building mods since the beginning of time without incidents..

Went with a single light window on the back for now. Keeping things minimal.
ATTN: Italian Supersoft users.
I don't know if these are knockoffs or Lukkos Silk bottles minus the Lukkos logo, but I'm giving them a try. I'm certainly not willing to pay up for Lukkos (crazy expensive), and still have a few mods which work best with Italian Supersoft bottles (less but still too expensive IMO). So hopefully these will be a good way to go where Dripbox/Squeeze/Hcigar solutions are a bit too wide: Frankenskull, Hidra, and a few others I'm sure. Will let you know if they're good.

I also threw a couple of those in a cart to try. Fingers crossed.
Also - in case they're NOT good, I've found the ModMaker UK bottles better than the Supersofts.
They WOULD be a little cheaper - but you have to ship from UK...so it's not a bargain.
But the "bottle kit" comes with
a) Similar bottle to supersoft
b) Much more consistent good threading cap - knurled!
c) decent tubing
d) a little o-ring to put inside the cap - which ENSURES a good seal, if you want to use it
I am probably going to slowly switch over in most of my mods.
