Hog's Mods

[MasonD]

Kanger makes the Go-go carts that are horizontal and they work great.
But they don't have 510 threads.

They got a new 510 based on their 808. A couple of vendors sell 'em already. I was thinking they'd work well on a Hog and other feeders, 'cause the coil's on the bottom. I'm probably gonna try 'em anyways, once I get paid, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has.

The only carto I've tried so far is the Boge 2.0-- they're great for a day or so, but seem to jam up pretty quick.

Maybe it's the way I'm feeding and vaping it; I only started using cartos once I got Purdy Piggy....

i see mine in there...............

Yup, right there. No, not that one, the one next to it.

I don't think I've ever gotten more than 4 days max from a Boge.

Ok, I love my hog!! I can't believe he would even suggest I might sell it...even if I didn't take well to it, i would keep it! Hell, he made it for ME!! I keep everything he makes me. Silly snot!

Im surprised none of the Redheart went this batch. Its kinda growing on me.

A "Brain Tanned Hide"???

There has GOT to be a joke in there somewhere...

But after 3 glasses of wine, it will have to wait until tomorrow...

Dave

my buddy is doing his first brain tanning now..lol.. he is doing good with it...

 

[cherewine]

That's cuz' your saving it for me in your next batch (or this one would be even better) remember?????????

I am in love with the DCC's! I have been buying - and trying various dual coil cartos lately.

I remarked to my vaping buddy at work the other day... "I like the long, thick black ones best"

Immediately after saying that I decided, that could have been worded better...

Dave

Thanks for the pic! They do seem a little long... FYI: you can get the boge's in SS at a couple of places.

I was thinking about giving the Kanger horizontal coils a go-- has anyone here tried them yet?

 

[MasonD]

I bet that redheart would be killer in some combination with the wenge...

 

[Hogwart]

Ive been using a few dual coils with the 4.8v batts in mine. they work really well.
I liked them better when I had the last batch of VV's here where I could set them up to 5.3v or so.
I have got to build me a VV

Yea..it would definitely have to have a really dark contrasting wood. I'm thinkin' that I'll go with Mike's Claro Walnut or if he snags a little more of that ebony then that. I don't know what colors are blending in with the reds in that redheart wood or I could get a better idea of what would look the best.

Thinking back and forth, it seems like the dark caps and inlay would bring out whatever dark is in that redheart, which will probably be more intense with some finish to it. I think I remember something posted earlier about some sort of steel wool and vinegar bath (or something like that....) to bring out dark accents from the wood... even without that, though, I bet it would be pretty stunning!

 

[Hogwart]

Its all reds, pinks, and black. Gaboon Ebony would go nice. But then again, Gaboon Ebony goes with everything =)

 

[cherewine]

Did you have any of that ebony left after the mods you bought some of it for get done Mike?

 

[Hogwart]

I might have enough for caps and inlays for 2 more mods after those 2 are done. some was unusable do to a split in the block I couldn't see until I cut into it.

 

[cherewine]

Well...now you know what I want for MY next hog mod then, LOL (VV and SS too please). AND...if by the time you get to the next batch...you're able to score any nice looking pieces of that ziricote...I'm gonna want one of those TOO yes, that'll be two...if its the requested woods that is

 

[cherewine]

<~~is starting to sound like B huh? lol

 

[Hogwart]

I found a couple pieces of Ziricote at the local Woodcraft store but it was blah looking, i passed on it

 

[cherewine]

I sure would like to know where Brian (red sky mods) gets his Ziricote woods cuz' his mods made with it are just gorgeous. The patterns in the wood just pop!

 

[Hogwart]

lol heck, I'd like to know too =)
