Description:
Custom Classics (CC) 7075 Aluminum Mod

Has a custom made low profile button installed that I used.
Includes the normal button that was never taken out of the small plastic zip lock.
Includes the orings, extra bottle, etc. that came with it.
(fairly certain I never opened the plastic zip lock they are in)
I installed a silver negative battery contact.
The silver contact was before Corey offered that option so is not one from him.

Note that I have modded this one by installing 4 spring loaded electronics connectors in the cap and 3 accompanying stationary contacts in the body. The reason for 3 instead of 4 stationary contacts is because when I was drilling the 4th hole the bit broke off in the hole and I didn't want to destroy the aluminum body trying to extract it. The reason I installed the contacts was because the eliquid I used in it (DIY TFA Grape Juice) would quickly tarnish the top of the body and bottom of the cap where they mate causing a voltage drop there. Talking to Corey there was one other person that had this same problem which seems to be because the eliquid used was causing rapid oxidation at the body / cap interface. It also does so with the body so I am tired of constantly cleaning the rest of the mod and will use the money along with additional to purchase a stainless one from Corey. (which was not available when I purchased this 7075) I hate to do this because of how light weight this one is but that is the conclusion I have finally made.

I paid $450 for the mod, $20 for the custom low profile button, and $12 for shipping with insurance for a total of $482.

I am selling it for $375 including USPS priority mail shipping with tracking and insurance for $375.

Of course I can't guarantee it but I just asked and here's what Corey said paraphrased since we aren't supposed to quote conversations.

He has now made about 100 in 7075 and less than 10% have had the darkening problem with all tracing back to acidic eliquid and body chemistry.

The spring contacts I installed took care of the voltage drops for me and drastically slowed down the darkening on the bottom of the cap and top of the body, but of course didn't stop the darkening of the sides of the mod where I hold it so it needs a quick touch up every week where I hold it. Most probably wouldn't even mention it but I wanted to be upfront about it.
