I am going to stain the caddy. Put some felt inside. And maybe get some paint for the logo. Any idea what kind of paint to get for the wood?

Actual paint? What about some paint and brush from a hobby store for painting models? It would not cost much and you can choose from a big assortment of colors.

Few more days methinks and they should start popping up on the website.

I am very happy that people are liking the Destroyer. I am not a tank fan so I had to trust that the tank users would actually want a mod made specifically for tanks, yo ho!

The initial finish is dry on the mods so I will be spending the next few days putting them together, a bit more finish and then they can go on the website. So far I've assembled two Mark-9's, bunch more to go..... arrrr


Oh i thought you liked tanks.. What dont you like about them, the cartos?

Compared to just squonking where I can feed the atty to just the right amount of 'wetness' and get the vapor I like, with a tank I seem to be only able to adjust the voltage and I always get a weaker hit off it. When I try to get a more wet coil all I manage to do is start to flood the connector and it just drips slowly out.

I imagine if I played around with different tanks and cartos, holes sizes, ohms, voltages, etc I would get a better vape, but why bother when I can just grab me feeder and go to town?

I never thought I'd like tank so much.
For me for some reason I get more TH and vapor with tank than with any atties I've tried. i06 is on my cutlass and it performs great, but it's still not as consistent. Maybe I'm just still on the learning curve.

I'm still using the same carto in my tank since mid january and it's still working like day one, where as the i06 that I started using on the same day performance has dropped slightly although I don't really have complaints about it. Great atty. What I like about tank is that I don't have to deal with burnt taste, feeding every few vapes, gunk build up, cleaning/blowing etc., and cartos are dirt cheap too. I guess I'm a tank guy after all!

Yea. This one has the ram with the soul and crossbones. And it'd unstained. I want to bring it out a little bit just a little white and black And red. Simple stuff. Now to find a hobby store. I don't think there are any around this area. This town I stuck in for college is the worst.


I'm the same way with tanks. Of rather squonk. Just gotten used to itinerary tried a tank and cracked one. Burnt up a cartos. Couldn't FILL IT UP. JUST a huge disaster. If I could get my hands on a jonboy tank. I would try it out again.

Ahoy, good Morning me 'earties!

I agree with one thing, tanks are super easy once they are set up and going. I think if I got some good tank hardware, played with it until I got it right I would be probably happy with the results but thats something I have just not done yet.

Hmm, the added cost of 40 or 50 bucks per mod for wood like this.... not sure, would people be willing to pay that much for a mod? Suppose I could do an occasional one out of this and wood like the Black & White ebony.

Pink Ivory 2.25 x 2.25 x 6 inches with primo color, Air Dried too!
Price: $42.50

There's people that would pay that for sure...

Some mods are super expensive but they still sell if thy are good product.. brian you have a great product..

I know my sense of value is skewed because of my age, that a hundred bucks today buys a CPU upgrade or cheap cell phone, but a hundred bucks when I was young bought a used car. I suppose your right, if I make it and it is nice enough someone will buy it, but I have to constantly fight with myself to take the plunge, lol.

edit; It also doesn't look that different in color than the redheart I am already using and redheart is half the price :)
