Wow, the red cedar is gorgeous! Someday, when I can get a VV, I will have to keep that in mind.

On this batch here you can choose which ever you like, I have most everyone's choice already, I'll send a pm to those I don't have when I get home to see which they want.
In the future its prob going to be an upgrade option for the stainless switches.
I believe I already have the cheapest wood mods on the market and I cover shipping.
I don't think I can keep eating the costs of the more expensive options.

Hot2trot - look up tulipwood! It just might be an affordable pink wood. Also possibly European Plum or Swiss Pear. And, omg - I just discovered Kingwood! I must have a mod made of this eventually! It has shades of violet! Hearne Hardwoods sells kingwood lumber. We carry kingwood wood, dalbergia cearensis, violet wood hardwoods, violetta solids, bois violet timber, true member of the rosewood family, wood from brazil, wood from south america, tropical wood, purple wood
I totally understand, either way I definitely want it on mine. One thing I didn't know and not that it matters to me but do these have a digital display of output power. I don't remember reading it, I know how to calf what it is I just may need a meter to know accurately.
I haven't been keeping up well here Mike, but are you still planning to do some wood VV non-feeders?
you definitely dont have the cheapest wood mods out there!!
you my friend have the least expensive.. but the term "cheep" just sounds wrong for your work..
your fare better than that..
These do not have a built in meter. You only need it when adjusting the volts and that's pretty much just when you change out atties or different juice. Pretty easy to use a screw in volt meter at these times. If I added it to the mod it would greatly increase the size and most were against that. Right now I think my standard 3.7v 18650 6ml mod is close in size to others mini's.
I can do vv non feeders if that is what is requested when I open up requests again. Will be about the size of the 3.7v feeder.
I am loving the looks of my VV Mike! They're all gorgeous. I just want to thank you again for putting up my ever changing decisions on catch cup/switch/wood...whatever else I put you through. I can imagine you wrote all my options in pencil and used up an entire eraser as it went along. You're the best Mike. 
Totally agree Boss Hog, I have a couple VV devices right now and I still haven't even thrown the volt meter on them. Just keep turning it up or down to what tastes good. I think those little built in displays are more of a novelty rather than a necessity.
Awwww, come on 3mtech....some of us love hearing a man squeeeeee..... 
I thought it was already an 'upgrade' option Mike You told me that it would be $5 more for a SS switch.

I know I had told some it was going to be an upgrade option, but some had requested them before I had decided to make them an option and were not informed up the higher cost of the SS switches.
I didnt think it would be fair to charge the upgrade to some and not others in the same batch. So I'm not charging anyone for the SS options this go round.
Still trying to find the switches cheaper but not at the expense of a lesser quality switch.
Mike, I have NO PROBLEM paying you the extra $5 for the SS buttons, knowing that you are going to incur additional costs in adding them to my hoggie...just so ya know. I just wanted to get clarification on the 'options' thingy you were talking about. And also, I have no problem waiting as long as it takes for you to get some in that are not going to cost you an arm and a leg.
I agree that if its an extra 5 its an extra 5. Whats 5 bucks in the grand scheme. I just want the best product for my money and it sounds and looks like I am. My first VV and my first wood MOD. I am certain I chose the right maker. i am just worried my wife will like it so much she takes it from me. Oh well then I will just buy 2 more for myself.
And you WILL be getting more than your monies worth with Mike's mods. I own one now, have another one coming and my third one on order...THAT'S how impressed I am with Mike's hoggies I don't have one of his VV's....well, yet that is *cringes*...but I'm pretty darn sure it will be right up there with everything else he's produced to date.

I have been watching this thread for awhile now and I have seen nothing but positive things said and customer support and honesty seen here. I have been lurking around watching several different suppliers before I decided on his "HOGGIES" as you said. I am very impressed with his responses and knowledge. I will admit I am limited in my mod knowledge, and only have 1 other mod maker to judge buy. I chose my first 2 mods based on what I knew at the time. I own 2 models of the REO, 1 grand and 1 mini as I am sure many do. But I believe comparing the 2 would be like comparing an apple to an orange, or whatever you would like to add. I am so excited about getting my first wood mod in VV from MIKE. Reads kinda funny but everyone understands I am sure.
Just for size comparison, this is my #10 Hog next to a REO Grand:
And next to a REO Mini:
You can barely see the edge of it, but to the left of the Hog there is a REO Woodvil.
I don't own any of those REO mods anymore. All great mods, just not as great *FOR ME* as my Hogs. YMMV
