Had several conversations with vapesmarter.com on POTV over the last week, finalised the spec, and paid my deposit.
Work begins on the block in the coming days, and I’ll post updates as and when they happen. A progression thread, if you like.
Don’t want to give too much away at this stage, but I will say that the stabwood, currently being treated, is Wisteria, and I’m extremely giggety, giggety.
Block should be finished in a few days, more to follow…
Did I mention that it will contain hairs from my late great best pal, Jake, in amber resin Jurassic Park styley, and with real flakes of 22ct gold leaf in the darker coloured resins ?
FYI, all of this, including the ‘extras’, is £230, $290, AUS$415 cheaper than the equivalent Vicious Ant mod I’ve been considering…
Wow, that is fantastic and love the idea of your pal Jakes hairs incased in amber, what a tribute.
The price is excellent for everything included too. Is there another way to contact him? The link in your OP goes to godaddy. I might look into ordering a bespoke mod from him as well.
I’m not a product pusher, nor a, well…I’m just an average Joe vaper.
I always do shit loads of research before departing with my hard earned cash…
…yes, I know, PPI payout is different, but it’s still my money, until I spend it.
People need to know about Stu, and vapesmarter.com, there are bespoke options out there cheaper than, and more personal, than Vicious Ant and their contempories.
Wait 'til the mod is finished, I’ll message you with all final details. Prices are individual to each build, and not publically advertised.
Other mod builders have expressed an interest in purchasing his components, hybrid blocks, engraved faceplates, leather cary cases, but he has decined…
He will build whatever you want, and walk you through the whole process, “Yes, we can do that, but will involve an additional cost, sending it to my reliable CNC engravers, or me hand engraving…”
That faceplate is lovely, probably the most important part of the mod, as you look at it the most.
Sigh, gonna have to sell a kidney or something…ahhh, who am I kidding, no one will pay for my internal organs. Did get a quote on a dual 21700 DNA250C but with postage and exchange rate I am looking at $500 +. Still need to get bent over by taxes in a few days, after I crawl out of the fetal position I will start looking for money lol
Have bought loads of shite from outside the UK, Sourcemore specifically, and never had this bollocks. $100 worth of juice from Black Note, sailed through UK customs, no extra charges, all with Fed Ex.
Really think that the issue is with Royal Mail…thoughts, ladies and gentlemen ?
Not sure if I have ever bought from evcigarretes although have visited the site many times. I just recently had the same experience with Everzon, they asked me about duties and what not via DHL, first time ever asked that and have received probable close to 100 DHL packages from China over the years, I hope it is not a sign of things to come.
