Well if your interested take a look at vaporlips.com for custom made if thats your bag. But you could save much more by buying the mass produced. Have you looked at the Cherry Bomber clones?

Ah wait don't think cherry bombers have mosfet:unsure:
Since those look like all Hammond boxes, do they have that annoying atty lean to them since the edges aren't perfect 90 degree? Got that slope action going on.

They fix the lean on them in the process of making the mod. I believe that question was asked in their Q&A section. Which of course is an extremely legitimate question lol. Here it is:

That's cool it has no lean. To bad they don't have a box around the same size as the Hammond 1590G. That's a nice small size for dual 18650's.

Twice I have requested a price for a Mod and I have not received a reply. :(

I asked for the Evolve DNA40 TC large screen, any issues with that chip?
Really? Thats odd contact between me and them is nearly immediate, even from initial quote. Tis not good for them if this is the case.

I tried again with my e-mail. :( I bet they are city folk.

yeah thats strange, i got two quotes from then while you were trying to.

SX350J 150W, muffet enclosure, custom powdercoat, 16mm flush button, magnets, no USB. $284 SHIPPED
DNA 40W, muffet enclosure, custom powdercoat, 16mm flush button, magnets, no USB $242 SHIPPED

their processing time just keeps going up though, lead time is 6 weeks. lol.

I've been browising the ecig reddit in the pvcomission subreddit, and there seems to be some reliable custom mod makers in there as well. More for unregulated or raptor box though but their pricing is pretty decent, $100-250$.

Thats about right, the order I put in was a sx350j 60w, Muffet single 18660 case, 16mm flush button, custom powder coat ($10 more), usb (silly not to since chip is upgradeable), and FDV silver 510 that came out to $280 shipped.

Shortly after my order I talked to them about taking it a lil further with a custom vinyl sticker. David promptly offered me an engraving of the image instead and also for free, since its a new addition. I also have been in contact of their images they have done or tried out. Not to shabby but still awhile to go but for free I cannot complain to much. Despite my pricetag for it, I can still be critical of the engraving if it looks terrible.

What gets me for them is the "lifetime" warranty the stand by on. Granted it basically means for the life of their company for sure. But for a TC chip I believe its invaluable to have something along those lines for warranty.

BUT for something unregulated these custom jobs are quite steep and most likely would rather attempt a build. As alot of the options are basically flair for a device that doesn't need or have regulation.

yeah, im on the edge of picking up a full unregulated kit from nonameboxmods.com , it looks like you can also get it pre-drilled, so i think the only thing I would need to pick up would be a soldering kit.

I aught to take a look at that as well, kinda want to get my feet wet into building my own devices. Only thing is that I haven't used an unregulated device in months and all my builds are now nickel... I suppose if I can make one decent enough and cheap I could just give it away to someone I work with. Granted, tested profusely before just handing it out so I don't destroy someone's face.

"didnt think of that. never had an upgradeable chip yet myself, so i thought of it just as a charging port."


Meant to add that to a quote lol, right if your don't want to charge it still use it for upgrading in the future. Another big BUT when they do release upgrades, from what I can tell, never upgrade until things are in the clear or don't if you feel there isn't a need to.
