No probs mate, I meant it as a joke ;)
Yours is nice too. I understand your eagerness but believe me, one month is pretty fair. I waited much much longer for other mods - some still not received. I'd feel lucky if I have this one in 3 weeks time :)

You're located in France eh?

No wonder it takes time. I have a similar problem since I'm located in Bahrain.

Sucks big time :(

I got some more wood yesterday. But it might be a few days before I start building any mods because torrow is the start of deer season. I have some new ideas for this batch of mods, a few of which include built in chargers and different potentiometers to allow adjustment without a screwdriver, and also dual battery mods. I'll most likely get started building these monday.

Im always waiting in the bushes ready to pounce when you throw the double DNA or something crazy up!

I may have a surprise for you soon, If I decide not to keep it for myself ;) I've been planning to do a double 18650 with a double DNA just to see how she performs. I usually vape around 11 watts, but lately ive been hitting a rebuildable at around 14 watts with a VV mod. It would be nice to have a VW device that can handle that power.

Got my Mod and finally got my batteries I ordered separately for it. It's even prettier in person :) Great work. I am having one challenge with it though. The fit of the back cover is so tight and the inside is varnished so it's stuck on. I cannot get the back off without wedging m fingernail in the seam which I don't want to do as I'm afraid of damaging the wood. It seems like the varnish on the inside of the cover causes it to stick. If I can get the cover off, should I sand down the insides seams a little where they touch?

I'd leave it as is for now. It may loosen on its own with some use.

The lids are ususally tight on all the mods. Its a fine line between too tight and too loose. I dont think you should sand it down, if it becomes too loose it will be a ruined mod. There's a certain technique I use to open the mods real simple. Maybe I'll make a little video for you. But dont sand it, it will wear in a little get a little easier with time.
