Oh, what do I got here ... Zebra, purpleheart, Cocobolo and Makore.

I'm not getting a warm fuzzy feeling building these. Its taking too much time, cut, route, drill, sand, wire, glue, sand again and still have to do touch up to wood and more finish, all for 25 bucks? I couldn't really charge much more as you can get a plastic one from madvapes for 15 bucks and he always has them in stock. Arrr...bummer ..

I was wondering about that...a lot of work for you for very little money! Plus your time...you still have to build your beautiful mods
so seems like double work without double rewards! ..just sayin'....:)

you work hard enough as it is........! :)

Cappy, I told you I would take one and that hasn't changed. Cocobolo or other distinctive grains would be my choice. Sounds like putting them in the mod is easier for you?

Not sure I am feeling the added routing on the body. That is a lot of added work for you. Plus, I can only speak for myself, but I use my boxes in both hands depending on what I am doing. I think making lefties or righties creates limitations if only in the purchaser's mind. I had some right handed box mods and come to find out, I vape lefty. They were awkward for me to use and so I moved them on . Just my observations.

Agree, I will finish these and save them for prizes I think, less one for Taz.

Agree, occasionally I put the squonk hole or inlay on the right side, but that's as far as I go.

much less work to cut a display window like on drotts then build a whole box and
all the most popular vv ones have them....put a led disply in the best handcrated mod
and you'll have a winner for sure....:)
course you can charge more and get paid for the extra work too!

Hey VV, did you hear from the spinner yet?

not yet! but I'm so excited to learn! thanks by the way for passing my email along and finding someone!

+1 on the beautifully simplistic....I think you will find RSM's one of the most user friendly mods there are!
