Hog's Mods

[GAC]

#28 is officially in my hands and it is absolutely perfect. I can't believe how tight the door fits on this thing, thought I was going to break it getting it apart. Tried it with an 18650 and a 1.5 atty at first and though it does hit hard for 3.7 it just wasn't doing it for me. So I threw two blue aw 3v batts and an IKV 3.5 510 on there and that is the way it will stay, really brings new meaning to the saying hog heaven.
It shows how much Mike loves making these, the fit and finish is impeccable and the wiring is so clean inside. I feel like this was a steal at 110 bucks, hell I paid just a little less than that for my first e cig kit from the mall.
I wouldn't change anything about my hog, you can rest assured you will NEVER see ole #28 in the classifieds. In fact if anyone tried to take it, it would have to be out of my cold dead hands.
Thank you Mike, I couldn't be happier

I couldn't agree more! I absolutely LOVE mine and since trying the same basic setup as you put on yours (2 blue aw 3.2v batteries and an IKV HV i06)...I am in Hog Frellin' Heaven

OMG I am calling the HMPS (Hog Mod Protection Society) and reporting you .. .they will award me custody for sure now!

Poor, poor little #24 .. don't worry, I'm coming. You'll be safe soon!

#24 got dropped on the concrete and a little scuffed. It's not too bad but still...

Hog, love the costume. it's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. I once went to a Halloween party as a used tampon. I'm a redhead and I wore all white with a string down my back. It won best costume ... but it was a house party so they didn't have to worry about being sued.

How ya liken that i06, almost bought some but the proprietary drip tip kinda turned me off. I do love Isaac's attys and cartos though, better than Cisco's IMHO.

Bless its little sweet heart. Mine is scuffed too. I didnt drop her though! Mean Mommy!! HAHA!

Mine is scratched from trying to get the door off. When it was so hot and humid here, the wood would swell (hehe) and make the door very hard to get off (hehe again). I actually broke my thumb nail and cut a groove in the wood trying to get the thing to come off. I learned to stick my thumb in the hole (oh my!) to pop it off. Lessons learned too late.

If the scratches ever bothers me, Ill see if Mike will let me send her in for a facelift. I doubt thats gonna happen, for some reason.

Glossy finish for me please

Yea...that's the only problem with the i06 and of course, I didn't heed the recommendation of buying the drip tip for it, cuz' I thought that of all the drip tips that I own, I could find ONE that would fit it....NOT...ONE...DID.... I have just been using the tan cover that it came with until one of HIS drip tips arrive, LOL. Yes, I had no choice but to cave and buy one of his...and of course a couple more of the attys whilst shopping at his site

 

[Hogwart]

So the next question is glossy or matte?

Its Satin finish

 

[cherewine]

When I got mine I couldn't get the darned door off either...thought that I was 'stuck in stoopid' or somethin'....was afraid to ask how to get it apart Eventually it popped apart, but man o man, talk about some tight tolerances on that baby! It's getting a LITTLE BIT easier to pull apart, but tighter is better than looser (right boys?)

*taps finners on desktop waiting for MY question to be answered next*

Its Satin finish

 

[Hogwart]

Mike...got a ? fer ya. What would we apply to the wood to bring back the shine/glossiness? The backside of mine still has a nice smooth shine to it, but, for some reason, the finish on the front side seems to be getting dull in appearance.

Cant go wrong with some

 

[cherewine]

[pringles13]

[Hogwart]

Also, Rimp, hows this new marble wood look to ya?
Not sure if I'd do inlays in it or not, might be to busy.
Up to you, just let me know.

 

[cherewine]

Thanks Rock...no Home Depot within 60 or so miles of where I live As often as I get to the city, it'll be quicker for me to just order it online somewhere (one of the things I HATE about country/rural living)

So, my daughters friend called me on my daughters cell phone and said Farran can't breathe and she stopped in the middle of traffic and she's freaking out! So, I rushed to the car and went to find her in an ambulance - in my rush to get out of the car to get to the ambulance, #24 dropped to the ground. : (

My daughter is okay ~ it appears she had her first panic attack. Poor kid.
