VR Wood Mods bottom feeders kiwi style

[distortoblotto]

Distort...I wonder if insured and the actual content of the package value have any difference?

They whacked me $160.00 at NZ customs.

I dunno as that was the declared value I placed on the packages. Maybe I got lucky or it may be a case of whether of not someone ...... in the inspectors Grape Nuts that morning...

What on earth... @distortoblotto ...where'd you get that life changing emoji??

 

[McPuff]

Dibs on that SVA if you ever decide to sell it

you got it. dibs on that vr mod if you sell it...

 

[vkiwi]

400NZD is the limit of value including shipping cost that goes through without incurring customs fees and grab'n'snatch tax (GST). This is worth noting for all if multiple fancy blocks are being moved around. I have had this sending mods into the U.K too...

Sorry to burst your bubble my friend but dibs has already been placed.
One declaration of dibs does not simply reciprocate another while superseding the foremost.

Just hanging out, bumping the thread, and waiting for #11 on the list to have his name called.

I told Vaughan never mind on the VRMods a few days before Christmas. Was still on the updated list posted after, I just fixed it, moved everyone up. So mods sooner for some... enjoy. SK

 

[2pak2zero]

Sorry to hear that Spydro!

Was looking forward to some of your wood getting shaped up.

I think he had done one more list update since then. Your name was still on it also, but the grunt was off. I'll let someone else tidy that up. I'd screw it up for sure.

Hope everything is alright.

 

[Doffy]

Finally mailed blocks, it has been hot, and I've been lazy. Labelled as stabilised wood blocks, $50aud value, gift, so hopefully they pass through the tight nz customs ok

 

[Nautilusfan]

Sorry to see you drop off the list! Im in hopes that you will continue to impart your wisdom around here! Hoping all is well with you!

Been a mad few days getting other things tidied up, but the guiney is getting a final polish up, the totara mod for my mate is done and a series drip mod done for a vape meet happening here this coming weekend, meaning that I must pack up all my juice mixing gear and coiling stuff to take along as the only local vendor, with the 3 new mods I have here and my 2, so only 5 to show. The kiwi lads are all into their dripping and have asked for series mods, not necessarily something I agree with, but an interesting idea. hoping to see a few of them on the list shortly.

4 list mods all planned and ready to go now including coaldriller who is now ready to go, so looking forward to getting these going next week. No more non list mods for a good while now, these tend to hold me up badly, and frustrating for you all too. Time to get back on track!

Will pop up more pics in the next days, but for now here is the series drip mod, this is now an option too, and works well. Dimensions are 96mm tall, 47mm wide and 25mm thick.

Notice the button and switch leaf have 3*10mm magnets for a much sturdier button connection, I will be trialing this as an upgrade to the 6mm magnets.

 

[Doffy]

Still worried I haven't adequately labeled for customs. I stated stabilised wood, when they are stabilised seed pods/nut type things.

I'll be nervous until they show up.

The series dripper looks interesting V.

 

[Splatnext]

Doffy I think the problem arises when someone ships wood with bark on it or deep inclusions.
NZ customs just don't want to have any sickness carried in that could threaten there own trees.Your banksia pods encased in resin should be fine, if there was anything wonky Vaughan would have told you.Besides those pods being incased and permiated by resin constitutes stabilization.

I've wondered about my block. It has some small holes in it. Wasn't sure if I needed to seal it or not. They are very small holes, but don't want to have my wood stopped at the border.

 

[Splatnext]

2pak maybe take some good pictures and show them to Vaughan.He will be able to tell you if he wood would be ok.

Yeah I'll probably do that before I send it.

Vaughan...what is the contrasting wood in the series mod?

 

[Doffy]

Looks like it could be buffalo horn on my screen?
