Hog's Mods

[doots]

Why thank you doots! I am very pleased with the looks and quality of this mod. We are getting along quite well so far. I have to say I was quite surprised at the size, it is much smaller than the woodvil, and only about 1/4" wider than a grand. Very cool as I find the woodvil a bit big for me. To the classies it goes (the woodvil NOT the hog's mod!)

Yes I like that the size is more like the Grande too.. cant wait to get one..

Is there a date and time that they are put up?

Nope, when they're ready, he puts them up.

Nice photos!
You know, I had a REO Mini for a minute, I just didn't do well with the metal box (so that eliminated the Grand option) and the single 14500 battery life, though it worked great. I considered a Woodvil for a long time, but the price, ouch, and it looked huge to me. Mike has got a nice compact package (excellent use of space in these mods), very nice to look at and comfy to hold and all at an incredible price. I'm really glad I found these mods, the one I have has certainly been a game changer for me. Long live Hog Mods!

You are sooo right about the size! Plus, the button placement is just right. I have small hands and trying to wrap it around an entire Woodvil is difficult.

The Hog Mod has the button just in the perfect spot Plus, it's not uncomfortable to use either the left or right hand with it.

edit: The Hog Mod will be centered in my avi once I get the time to take some quality pics

 

[BiancaMontgomery]

I agree Trouble, I hold mine in my left hand often, even though I'm right handed and it's a great fit in either hand. The button placement is made of win.

I have to find a better way to round the edges to. My crappy router is claiming one out of three boxes for its own when I try to round the corners.

Also trying to work on the vv but im definately not a very savy at schematics. The chip im going to use does not shut its self off when batts get to low. So its either rely on protected batts which I dont like becauae a lot of people use IMR batts, or wire in a low current trip to the board.
So after a gazillion hours reading the forums over and over I think I have something sketched up that I can make heads or tails of. Gonna play with it on a bread board and see.

I now want to kill your crappy router. Just sayin'.

They say that every time we learn something new we get a new wrinkle formed on the brain.

Something tells me that yours is anything but smooth at this point

I am so glad that all I need to do is wait for you to get all wrinkly!

I'm amazed!!!

Don't tell me you can't teach an old dog new tricks... LOLOL

Thanks,

Very cool, isn't it? I had smoked for 35+, and quit in two days. I'm still shocked at myself. The upside is that I can smell again, it is also the downside! LOL!
