Hog's Mods

[trouble2k]

As I have mentioned in the past I am not a wood worker by trade, that's why each batch has gotten a little better as I have gone along.
I am learning as I go here, but with the last batch that went out, I think I'm a fairly quick learner.

Quick learner to expert. You forgot to add the last part

Oh man the more I look up the woods I picked the more excited I get...
I have never seen Holly used for a wood mod and the Hickory has such a sweet grain..IMO
Hey guys why do some choose no led..just wondering.

Someone said in the Hog family photo thread that he measured the VV's out to approximately 4 5/8"L x 2"W x 1 1/8"D. I measured out one of my 3.7's and it is approximately 3 1/2"L x 2"W x 1"D. So...going by THOSE measurements, the difference is mainly in the height of the VV...not much difference in the depth and no difference in the width. *shrugs*

The 4-5/8" comment was measure of mine and it was to the top of the catch cup give or take an 1/16". I have medium size hands IMO but this thing is awesome, MIKE this switch is perfect, I am SOOOO happy with this switch.

I don't see it when I'm vaping...so I didn't think there was a need...It's a matter of choice actually..well, unless you need to see how much juice is left in your bottle, LOL

That is my main concern about spending that much more money for a vv hog.
Size does make a difference- too big is not good.

VV next to a standard. Not so big.

And keep in mind that that standard (#10) is even smaller than most other Hogs. At least out of the 5 standards I've had in my hands.

I think yours was the tallest of the batch Coffm0, you caps were a little thicker than the 1/4" I usually use

And that's next to the smallest Hog Mod Mike's made so far. B..do you have a side view of them both by chance?

Mine is all I use, goes to construction sites with me every day. it probably the most beat up ugly mix-matched Hog out there. I even have a oddball door on it because when I dropped it on the hundredth time I kicked/stepped on it. Still vapes like a champ though.
I really need to make a nice one though because when people ask about them and I hand over this completely beat up destroyed Mod its kind of sad

 

[cherewine]

I dunno about you and Lenny and you're abused looking mods Mike!! You BOTH should have the best of the best that you can make for yourselves

Bahahah! When you get #18 back to fix, you may think it has been working at a construction site. But, nope, it just lives the day to day life of a nurse.
