That’s a great story!! And wow did you make out! Whatever you do hang on to that mod no matter how much I offer you!! I don’t really like the mosaics either. Just not my “thing”.
Have you ever seen a VA in person? Or used one? I felt the same way about the price of them until I finally decided to splurge on one.
There really is no question the construction, finish and chips they use are superior to Asmodus mods. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love my Asmodus mods or that they’re not fantastic mods because they are. I’ve got at least one (usually 3-5) of almost every stabwood mod they’ve made!! It’s just that the VA is on the next level. Probably the only thing better would be a custom mod from the Philippines or Malaysia. But those mods START at around $600-800 and upwards of several thousands. And no I don’t have any lol!!! Not that I haven’t been tempted to mortgage my house! There are several examples on the Stabwood thread at VU. Gorgeous mods.
Regardless of make stabwood mods are just so beautiful! I would be a lot “richer” if I had never seen them lol!! I blame ECF for my downfall!!!
Here’s a picture of my collection from a couple of months ago. Since then I added another Yihi SL, Minikin 21700 and the LV Centaurus. I’m hoping that Asmodus comes out with a new design soon. I’m “jonesing” to buy more stabwood- that I can afford. it’s become an addiction lol!!!
Enjoy your weekend!!

Oh, I don’t doubt that a VA is a thing of beauty of the highest order. I’m a semi-retired photographer. I always saw cameras as functional art. Like a VA mod - the curves, the ergonomics, the choice of materials, metals, wood, acrylic. It elevates the entire vaping experience. You notice things you didn’t before- the taste of your juice really coming through, the sunny day, the plants you just planted already budding, the breeze just now, or the rainy day and the sound of the raindrops. And then the moments in between all this when you look down at your mod and say ‘damn, I sure did get a fine piece’. Haha. I just never find myself having the right amount of disposable cash at hand. But if I did, I would peruse the VA site for days for sure! Haha.
your collection is breathtaking by the way. I would name that table ‘Camelot’. Because each piece is something of the highest virtue. Haha.
