Moving to current page:


Pulling forward to answer questions I have recieved.

Please all keep in mind I build these mods as a hobby, It is not my full time job. I apoligize is the wait for a mod is longer than expexted but I believe it will be worth the wait once your Hog is in your hands.

Here's the rough requesting process...
Once a batch is sold I will open up requests for mods, when I have 10-15 requests requests will be closed untill that batch is finished. When a request is made you will be able to choose...

1. Type of wood for body
2. Type of wood for caps and inlay
3. Black Switch or Stainless Steel Switch(add $5)
4. 3.7v using 18650 batt and 6ml bottle $110, VV using 18350 batts and 6ml bottle $160, 3.7v non-feeder $90, or VV non-feeder $140
5. Gloss or Matte Arm-R-Seal finish (best protection), Tung Oil finish, Danish Oil finish, Boiled Linseed Oil finish, or Teak Oil finish
6. Choice of LED bottle illumination. Choices are White, Blue, Red, Purple, Green, Yellow, and No LED

Shipping $5

The voltage regulator that in used in the the VV's can be found here 3A Adjustable step down switching voltage regulator

Your Hog will come with 2 bottle assemblies, extra bottle assemblies are available at $2 each.

When a request for a mod is made It will go into a journal of mods to make in what order and I will do my best to get it made in a timely fashion. Understand that I build these after work and a little on the weekend and "Timely" might mean it might take a few weeks.

When the requested Mod is finished I will contact the person that has requested the Mod and they will have 3 days to Pay for the mod so that it can be shipped. If payment is not made within those 3 days the Mod will be offered up to first come, first serve on the forum.

I will try to keep the mods coming out in order of of requests but please understand that if I have wood on hand to finish someones mod request that was placed after yours but I'm still waiting on your wood to ship, theirs will most likely be done first.

I will post a list of wood I currently have access to locally before I start taking requests. If the wood you desire is difficult to obtain or quite a bit more costly than the exotics I have available locally, the cost of your mod might slightly increase in price or require a deposit to obtain your wood. This will be discussed with you after your request has been made and I can locate your desired wood.

If you wish to request a mod made from Staburl, I will do my best to accomodate you. Since the color variation from block to block varies so greatly and some blocks come with voids that can not be worked around, I will not be purchasing the Staburl myself. If you wish to have your Hog made from Staburl you will have to purchase the blocks yourself and have them shipped to me. But please be aware that I can not garantee that your blocks will be usuable or that your blocks are exactly the color you were expecting once finished. And also be aware that I am very careful when using Staburl but at times it does like to chip out, accidents happen no matter how careful I am. I will not be held liable if your block does not make it through the tooling process. Regular Pricing applies.

The Hog mod is really a beautifully made wooden mod in its simplest form. There are no extra frills in a Hog that adds to the bulk of the mod which make a Hog one of the smallest Wooden Mods on the market today not to mention one of the least expensive. There is no Master on/off switch. if you wish to throw your Hog into your purse or pocket, I recommend unscrewing the atty a turn or popping the battery out.

I'm not sure how many Bottom feeder vendors will tell you something like this but I will, THE HOG MOD DOES NOT LEAK, PERIOD

Here is where I would post some tips and tricks for you about how to use the Hog and remedy any issue you might have.
If and when an issue ever come up with a Hog I'll fill this spot in. =)

Ok Ok there is one tip from BiancaMontgomery on the easiest method for filling you bottle in the Hog.

Since its so quiet, I will tell you all about what the kids did to us this week. So, mike and I have been raising my brothers son, austin since he was 2 weeks old. He is now 14. He came home from school on Wednesday playing with some liquid metal. I thought it was mercury and flipped out. He says, "no...its not mercury, its Galium. Its illegal in Iraq 'cause they use it to make bombs. My friend gave it to me!" I made him put it back in the container, then noticed that his hands were black. He had black streaks on his face, and under his eyes were dark too. So, I call poison control and tell them the whole situation. The lady tells me, i need to take it to the fire station and have it looked at because some forms of Galium are radioactive. Ok, now I'm freaking out! I go to the fire station down the street and knock on the door. A nice fireman comes out and I hand him the Galium, then tell him the story. He gives it right back to me and tells me to take it to the hazmat center, in the next city over. He said they didn't even want to touch it. Ok, headed to the hazmat center, we call to let them know we are on our way with this crap in the backseat of the car. They say, "pull over, right now and get out of the car". It's dark, in a busy strip mall parking lot and here comes 4 fire trucks, police, hazmat, bomb squad, and the health depart. They run tests on the Galium right on the spot and tell us "this IS radioactive but, we aren't sure to what degree". They make Austin undress, chonies and all, and put him in a hazmat suit. Booties, gloves, hat and all. Then they put him in the ambulance and rush him to the hospital. The doctor came in and scanned his whole body with some wand thing, then clears us to go inside. Meanwhile, there are 2 dozen men and women meeting outside his hospital door, while they are locking down the part of the ER we are in. They ran some more tests and come in to talk to us. Apparently, it was indeed Galium, however, it was in its elemental form. Therefore, not radioactive. He came home and is completely fine. His hands are still black but, he doesnt glow in the dark or anything! When all was said and done, I was ready to kill him. I'm pretty sure, kids love to scare the life out of their parents!

dang... i cant eaven imagine how that must have felt..... were the heck did his friend get it?

We honestly don't even know. The kid says it came from the Netherlands but, he has never been. Austin said when he got it, it was wrapped in layers of bubble wrap and silicone. Why a kid would even think it's okay to touch something like that is beyond me. Mike said if he was a kid, he would have likely played with it too. I guess that's the difference between boys and girls! Haha
