He used to make either single or dual cell walnut box mods with pents. Then he started adding the choice of dna or yihi boards for around £200 and the mech squonkers. The amount of hour's that go into each one puts him at minimum wage. Same issue as US mod makers really. He can't comp with China but what you get for the extra cash is the ongoing services that you don't get elsewhere.
It's definitely one of those mods you get when you get an unexpected windfall, but it's nice to know these craftsmen still exist.

Honestly that's not bad at all, and if we are being honest even a Vicious Ant collection is reasonably priced compared to what we used to spend on smoking for what you get..

250 on a mod plus shipping really isn't a bad price at all..

In my house it's the case of the missing extra cash.. I saw it for a minute after I quit smoking and then at one point it seemed to disappear into the household expenses never to be seen again.. lol..

But yeah, 250 on a mod plus shipping really isn't a bad price, all things considered.
Spent that every month on cigarettes.

I think I will save the fancy thumb screws for pics, and not actual vaping. They look cool, and would be a shame to mess them up.
They’ll work great as long as you don’t strip the slot on the top. The things are butter soft.

Hardware porn. Plus I saved about $25 on a dremel press and got a better device.

Now I can drill out the bad screw joints in the vapecigge mod AND squonk the big block 454 correctly by drilling the post to a measured stop point below the top of the post and cross drill juice ports.

No more searching for a squonk pin for you. Granted it's a niche market these days with new stuff almost always coming with a BF pin, but there could be a little side business for folks especially attached to an older atty who want a BF pin but don't have or want to buy a drill press.

Ill see if I can get the 454 going. It’s gonna be a bit rugged. Coring that copper center pin is going to thane #69 bit and they’re fragile as hell

(Removed quote of deleted post)

I came up with the idea for a squonkable RTA, even ignoring urges to post about it in the "Next Big Thing in Vaping" thread. And, here you are already working on a prototype. Dammit man.
Dying to know what deleted post you were quoting. What did I miss?
