Upcoming wood mods

[Warlordxxx]

Ok so this is my first venture into wood mods - I've done electronics for them before but wood was never my medium of choice when building anything. However now i'm married to my lovely wife the inspiration and help is there that i needed to get started on wood projects. As i said in the other thread we currently have these going on.

I do still have some wood left over and will probably be making one of the 18650's in a 5V 5A model.

Here's the current pics i have taken - I'll add more as they progress

The next 18350 will be burned by my lovely wife in the spots that count - The door is done but we're currently working on the body :D

Looking at your work really makes me want to build one, but I wouldn't even know where to start and I am not good with hand cutting wood. Thank you for sharing your progress. Looks really awesome:Thumbs-Up

[Warlordxxx]

I wasn't either - all you really need is a miter box and miter saw - grab some wood from home depot and get started :D

[E-C-T_Frank]

Well maybe someday I might try to make one and try to figure out the electrical components. Yeah thinking about it right now, I'm not sure I would be good at making one. Seeing you make them look awesome.

My mod is now completed apart from a final wet sand :D

That is Awesome Warlordxxx:Thumbs-Up :Thumbs-Up Yes two thumbs up. And thank you for showing us the progress. It really gives me inspiration for wanting to build my own. Have you vaped it? If you have, how is it?

[Warlordxxx]

Yup i'ts been in my hand most of the day yesterday and it performs perfectly - I've used ecowire as the wiring inside - Ecowire uses a different coating on the outside allowing for better heat insulation in the wire - Meaning i can use thinner wire and have it carry far more amperage - 24 gauge will carry 10A no worries which is far more than this mod will ever be asked to do - I prefer overkill to underkill lol

[Warlordxxx]

Little update - This mod has been burned and stained - In the process of covering with poly now - This will be the one with the red oak biohazard door

The artwork on this one looks awesome:Thumbs-Up I would love to see what it looks like when you finish it.

[Warlordxxx]

Almost done with the poly but it has to cure for a week til it's hard enough just got a few spots to touch up tonight and then i'll post a pic with everything in place :D

[E-C-T_Frank]

I'm looking forward to seeing it when you complete it:Thumbs-Up I was talking to my wife about making some mods and she looked at me and just smiled:confused: She knows that it probably will not go so well if I start, but because of her reaction, it made me want to start so that I could prove her wrong:)

[E-C-T_Frank]

Any updates on the Upcoming wood mod? Would love to see it:Thumbs-Up

[Warlordxxx]

Been sanding down today - Got a piccy with the door in although the phones camera is not all that great

[E-C-T_Frank]

It looks awesome Warlordxxx:Thumbs-Up I really like the way it turned out. You are a really good Mod maker. Have you made mods made out of steel before?

[Warlordxxx]

No steel yet - Aluminium and tin but not steel - At some point would like to get a lathe and possibly a CNC but i got a feelin that's a long way off yet lol

[E-C-T_Frank]

I was just wondering, because my wife's grandpa has a lot of equipment for steel and I just wanted to know if it's hard to make mods from steel with no mod making experience.

[Warlordxxx]

Not really - Kinda just depends on what you want to make from it - Tube mod or box - If you're making a box then a welder would be handy - Once you have a box shape though it's fairly simple :D

[E-C-T_Frank]

I'll have to give it a try to see if I can actually make one with grandpa in-laws help:D

[Warlordxxx]

Sure thing i got bits galore if'n you don't want to shell out to make a single mod :D

[E-C-T_Frank]

What are the bits? I should probably know this if I'm attempting to make my own:o Is that the electronics?

[Warlordxxx]

Yessir and it kinda depends on what you want to put in it - In a standard 3.7v mod there's a battery housing, fire button (switch), Atomizer connection (510) and On/Off if you want it and wire of course :D

[E-C-T_Frank]

Thank you for explaining it :Thumbs-Up Mod making is new to me, but yeah I might need to get some from you. I will just need to talk to the grandpa in-laws to see if he will help as I don't have a clue on how to use machine tools and if he will help then I will send you a PM to order some from you.

BTW nice Avatar:Thumbs-Up

Thank ya I knocked it up a minute ago hehe - Well just so you can let him know - The size for the 510 connection is 11/32 and the size for the button is 12mm or 16mm depending on how big your pinkies are :D

Your graphic design skills are also pretty awesome:Thumbs-Up I will pull up this thread and show him this thread when I see him next time to explain what a mod is and to show him the sizes that you listed here.

[Warlordxxx]

No problem at all bud - I added this place a link up on the site - It's always good for folks to have forums to look through when they want to know something :D I can knock you up a picture tomorrow if it'll help him out with sizings :D

[E-C-T_Frank]

Awesome Warlordxxx:Thumbs-Up Thank you for adding a backlink to E-C-T:Thumbs-Up Much appreciated.

Yeah a picture would be great so that he can see what I'm trying to make, it would probably help me explain it better. Thank you for your help Warlordxxx:Thumbs-Up

[Warlordxxx]

No problem at all - I'll do a min size drawing so that he can get an idea of how small he can make it - How large depends on the size of your hand and weight of the mod :D

[E-C-T_Frank]

Sounds good, I should see him sometime next week, so I will show him the drawing. Thank you once again for creating the drawing:Thumbs-Up

[Warlordxxx]

Ok quick knock up i did for you Frank

[E-C-T_Frank]

Thank you so much Warlordxxx for creating this drawing. It is much appreciated. I'm sure this will help when explaining to grandpa in-law what I'm trying to do. Much appreciated:Thumbs-Up

[Warlordxxx]

No worries at all Frank only too happy to help - Got another photo of the triplets - Together this time lol

Great work Warlordxxx:Thumbs-Up They look great. The one with the skull just looks awesome.

[E-C-T_Frank]

So I talked to grandpa in-law about helping me and he is willing to help but he didn't seem to interested, My wife also noticed it. So I came home tonight and started researching and I decided to just go with the PowerPro 26650, but before I do, I would need to know if you would have the bits for them? Or if you would have an idea on where I could get them. It's a Provari to PowerPro conversion www.fluidvaper.com/PowerPro-26650-Provari-Modders-Kit_p_281.html there's also a video on there. It uses the provari bits and top head. I don't want to buy another provari just to take it apart. Any suggestions would be great:Thumbs-Up

[Warlordxxx]

I'd go straight through provape and get the V2 board - They may very well sell you the board spring and top cap if you explain what it's for and why you want it - They may get funny and tell you to buy a full provari but that'd be my first point of call - Next step is to check out the second hand market rather than buying new. I don't have the provari boards i'm afraid - Too little amp rating for me :D

[E-C-T_Frank]

Thank you for the suggestions Warlordxxx:Thumbs-Up I will contact Provape to see if they are willing to sell the Board and the Top head and if they are not willing to sell the parts that I need then I will look for the used option. I was also thinking about messing around with the DNA 20 from http://www.evolvapor.com/ Just to see if I could do something with it, I like the display that is comes with and it's amp rating is pretty good. I wish they had a tube that I could buy if I decided to buy the DNA 20. I don't want to buy the DNA 20D only to look at for a year before I actually touch it, so I will have to really think about it.

[Warlordxxx]

Vamos will be by my next go to module - Keep an eye out for something rather special with a vamo i got up my sleeve hehe
