Just received my 26650 mod... and my first impression was... WOW!!! Just WOW!!!
Lately, I've been a bit of a mod hoarder. I decided that if I was going to get a bunch, why wait, I'll do it at once. Of all the wood mods out there, frankly, the Capt' Brian's was not on the top of my list... because these days, fancy woods seem to be on the top of everyone's lists, and these are relatively basic seeming wood, so not as apparently fancy.
You could have knocked me over when I opened my box. The mod is GORGEOUS in person. And hands down by far the most perfect finish of all the wood mods I own upon opening.
Not to say that other mods are poorly finished, but final finish takes a lot of time and skill to get perfect, and I've gotten used to having to do some more sanding and resurfacing myself. I have either refinished or in process of refinishing every single wood mod I own. From visible scratches, surface imperfections to bubbles in polyurethane, except this one.
This one starts out with a flawless surface, in addition to flawless joining, clean interiors, and cut with angles, light finger grips, curves. A lot of attention to detail has been paid to THIS mod. And on top, there's a perfectly sized stainless cup, where every atomizer I own fits in perfectly like a glove, not too big, not too small, and the stainless drip cup color matches all my RBA.
Sizewise, I'm amazed that a 26650 battery box mod could be so compact in the hand. Yes, it's big, but if you've seen a Minke 26650 battery, it's so huge, you expect a huge mod. This is not that much larger than a 18650 mod, and with the grips, more comfortable to hold than most.
Function, I got my 26650 batteries today too, so they aren't fully charged. I popped them on the charger, but just to make sure the mod fired, I pulled them off at 1/3 charged, popped one into the mod just to test fire, and wow. Perfect. I don't know if it's from the power of the battery, or the size of the connections because of the large size of the battery, but there doesn't seem to be much difference in vape from my 24K plated sub-ohm kitted Reo Grand (just took the rm2 off it and put it on the 26650 Cruiser). I will do more testing later when the huge batteries finish charging.
I'm so glad I bought this mod, can't believe I almost missed out. Sign me up for a DNA30 Capt', I'm sold on your work
