Im suprised nobody seems to like the White Wenge. This wood looks awesome! My personal DNA20 mod is White Wenge

This is killing me.......must.......look......away

 

[Scottinboca]

That is beautiful!!!! Too bad it's not my Bubinga
What kind of wood is that? It really does have an amazing grain!

No further research needed, you answered all my battery questions but one. I'm a big fan of the AW (red) IMRs, but the Panasonic CGR18650CHs are rated at 10% more capacity (and are two bucks cheaper to boot). Do you (or others) have a preference? I read that Panasonic may be discontinuing the CGR18650CH due to lack of demand, so if they're the one to get, I shouldn't procrastinate. Pending an answer I'm off to SuperT to order a pair with button tops (they have both in stock and are a pleasure to deal with). Thanks for the info!

 

[jkmtwo]

Yes, and buy 4, I have like 8 and I'm about to buy more, they are awesome

 

[tvBilly]

Yes?

Yes to the 2250 mAh Panasonic CGR18650CHs or yes to the 2000mAh AW IMRs?

I agree with jkmtwo. I have both types of batteries and both work great. I prefer the Panasonic ones b/c the do last longer and they cost less.

I do believe Carolina Vapes has them in stock... or did. (Panasonics)

 

[jkmtwo]

Yes?

Yes to the 2250 mAh Panasonic CGR18650CHs or yes to the 2000mAh AW IMRs?

Panasonics

SuperT has them both in stock, but thanks for the pointer. (I really like dealing with SuperT; great service, great shipping, and great prices). Looks like the Panasonic is the "winner".

 

[matador]

i think RTDvapor has them as well. Thats where I buy my batts, or ebay you can get them cheap but shipped from china so it takes a month.

Wow! I really like the darker wood on all four sides, rather than just on the top and the bottom. Both are beautiful, but there's something about this look that really grabs me. Keep up the good work!!!

The lighter wood is White Wenge, which i believe is flat sawn which is why the grain is differnt from the two dna20 mods of the same wood. The other wood on my mod is Brazilian Ebony. Its a 18490 mod.

This was a different design idea I had with a magnetic lid. Out of 4 of these I made this was the only one that the lid didnt warp on.

Love me some RTD

 

[matador]

You can see its the same wood as the other mods, but being flatsawn wood the grain really look good being on the front of a mod.

Looking good Matador. I especially like the Macacauba. However, I really think you need to rethink adding magnets. You know I was one of the first to buy a mod from you, and it has worked wonderfully ever since I got it. However, the tightness of the door has done what I hoped it wouldn't and has become very loose. So loose in fact I cannot take it out of the house any longer because if it is turned, the door slips right off now. I would love a DNA20 Mod from you, but I will have to wait until you add magnets to the mix. But like I said, I have had zero issues with the performance, works like a champ, I just think using magnets will turn a very nice mod into an amazing mod. JMHO, of course.

 

[matador]

Sorry to hear that moofaso. I can fix that mod for you if youd like. Is it the marblewood mod?
