Can't comment on the mod, but I have worked with kamagong for longer than most cloud chasers have been alive.
Like most ebony, the darker solid color pieces are of higher quality, but people are generally attracted to the more figured pieces.
These pieces are far more structurally inferior.
Also keep in mind that the Philippines is a tropical country, so their standard of what is considered dry wood does not match what you would find in the US or elsewhere.
As such it can be prone to warping or cracking when it arrives in drier climates, especially when it is of lower quality. That said, it is just unpredictable as whole. You can have a piece that is tough as steel, and appears to be solid and settled and then just Crack or warp one day out of nowhere after years of being fine.
I'm not trying to talk you out of it. I love Kamagong and think it is one of the most beautiful hardwoods out there. Just making sure you are aware of the risks of it.

You're gonna be hard pressed to get the Duquit. But MCM is getting ready to release the “SLIM” Duquit version 2.
They kept many of the features of the original Duquit on this v2 “SLIM” but added some extra power through even better copper wiring, superior mechanics and craftsmanship, significant lower voltage drop, and better contacts making a mod capable of handling .10 ohms with ease.
Yet to be released “SLIM” Duquit v2 by MCM Mods – dual 18650 unregulated wooden box mod | The Vape Trader
