Hopefully this will never leave your hand...well maybe once in a while is OK.

It pretty much hasn't left my hand, even when I am not puffing I find myself turning it over and over in my hand. The preformance is really good and it is beautiful but the thing that gets me is just how nice it feels. Is there any data out there on the wear characteristics of lace wood? I don't want to be left with a toothpick in a year from over fondling my PV. :laugh:

My Wildman arrived today. YEAH

The craftsmanship of the wood is so good I had a bit of trouble finding the panel to install the battery. :) It feels as smooth as a babies bottom and is really comfortable to hold. Like others have found the design makes it comfortable to use with either the thumb or index finger and I am not sure which I prefer yet.

I am so glad I purchased the finished PV as the wiring and inside looks clean and really well built.

I had this made to use either a 18650 or a Kick with a 18490 battery. The wiring and placement of the negative ground plate installed for the use of the Kick work great except the battery chamber is a tiny bit too large so the Kick isn't fitting snug enough to maintain contact. I have easily temporarily fixed this by putting a shim inside and will make a permanent modification in the near future.

The form and quality of my Wildman mod makes me smile and I enjoy looking at it. The silver button feels great and matches my Genisis atty perfectly. This may become my favorite mod when I am on the computer or watching TV.

That sounds wrong if not illegal.

But I do enjoy holding & touching mine cause they feel good. ;)
