Wildman Wood Mods - Part 2

[Lethalp]

Super sweet wood u have there Blue!! thanks u so much for posting!! I see u have them all "dressed in their Sunday best" with the lava tanks. They look very nice together. I bought my first lava during the last sale, it's blue and yellow, but alas I can't use it.

Thanks again for posting, it would be great to see the 2 new additions when they arrive.

I received my Wildman Mod today and I am impressed! I'll get some pictures up later tonight but let me just say that the finish on this thing is as smooth as a baby's .... and the wood grain is beautiful! A couple of notes on the deeper recessed tank version. It is perfect for Lava tanks but will not accept anything wider than 3/4" such as a Clean Tank. Also if you're using a shorter tank, like a Cartomator, only the drip tip will extend out the top. You may want to use a small 510-510 adapter if you want to have a bit more showing.The tolerances are very tight. I tried it first with just an 18650 and it was very good. Then I threw a Kick in with an 18490 dialed in a hair over 8 watts. Wow is all I can say! If you've never used a Kick, do yourself a big favor and try to get one. They turn an ordinary 18650 mod into a fire breathing dragon!!!! I'll post some pics later but right now I'm loving this mod!!!!

I have a boodwood that uses an 18650 and a kick. I know what you mean! I really enjoy mine as well. As I told the Wildman himself, it looks and feels like a fine piece of furniture.

If desired, I can always make the recess on future ones shallower and increase the opening back to 7/8ths.

 

[Pete54]

Kinda depends on what the person is using for a tank. For a more universal fit, I would suggest a 7/8" opening and 1 1/4" from the top of the mod to the top of the shelf inside.

 

[alekos557]

Sounds good

 

[Pete54]

I made the mistake of showing my Wildman mod to my wife! Usually she just hands them back to me, picks up her Provari and walks away. This time I had to beg for it back! If you continue making these, I believe there may be another one in my immediate future!

 

[alekos557]

I don't know....that's sounds like a good moment to "disappear" a provari. And then look innocent of course.
Wait a reasonable amount of time and head to the Vape-lair for some two handed vaping.

 

[alekos557]

Mfrazz...Just need to know switch color. Black or silver?
Wow, No color showing up.
Bloodwood

 

[mfraz25]

Beautiful! I sent you a PM.

In case you didn't get it, silver switch please!

 

[Pete54]

That is some beautiful wood.

 

[alekos557]

Not too bad to work with either.
More red than the pics show though.

Working on a double barrel for a "Skateboarder" here in Reno.
Eeh...nice wood anyway.

[alekos557]

I will check my Blood wood supply, and PM you if I can get one built

 

[okwithit]

very well, could you or someone else tell me about blood wood as i have never heard of it before? where does it come from is it a soft or hard wood, stuff like that

Brosimum paraense, a tree found in Central and South America.
A red fairly fine grained hard wood.
