Custom made Proudly SA Mod

[Viper_SA]

It seems Mr Pattrick does not wish to say how much it will cost.
So I will venture my best guess. If I made it (which I'm not) I would charge around the R3500.
How many of you would want one?
Dave

At R3500, hypothetically, I would not want one. I can buy an Economy REO, which is essentially also a bare aluminium mod for under R2000. As someone said, without import duties etc. a local mod should in my opinion be cheaper and also have spares readily available, as Reosmods does. Just my opinion.

That is a fair comment, although judging an Economy REO against a Custom Classic or a Tmod isn't quite fair.
A Custom Classic Mod from the US is around $400 so R3500 for a South African made one seems a good price to me.
R3500 was my price, Justin Pattrick will make it for R2850 - even better.

Even compared to a REO Grand non-Economy that is expensive to me. With a T-mod or CCM you are paying for the brand as well as the mod. To pay that much on an unproven local mod, without all the advertising etc. that imported ones have gone through seems like too much for me. If anything the CCCM design type seems easier to machine and finish.

Fair enough

I have ordered one, when I get it I will let you all know what it is like and what my thoughts about it are.

Thank you!

Ok, so the mod went in for some cosmetics and came out a daemon.

The logo was finished and all contact were changed to beryllium copper.
It's kick like a donkey now and the voltage drop is even lower than the Reo. I'm loving this thing even more now...

Well done @Justin Pattrick
Your mod definitely rocks. I finally have the logo @Rob Fisher

It's called the Leprechaun series of mods from Paddy Vapes

 

[DaveH]

Looks great Lushen, really nice - looking forward to mine.
Mine will not be ready 'till mid Jan 2016 because I wanted it anodized and the anodizers close down for Christmas.

Ahhh much better!

Trust me when I say that you are not going to be disappointed. This mod is now a little beast and it looks amazing.
I am already planning a dual 18650 with @Justin Pattrick
We just need to source a 10ml or 15 ml bottle that will work in the dually

 

[CloudmanJHB]

Very cool to see this being done locally !

I agree, plus it is good to support South African made products.

All my bottles are installed!

Reosmods will be getting stock shortly and hopefully @Oupa will get as well with the next REO order.

Any idea when that might be?

[Silver]

Dave

Probably some time in January @DaveH
But not sure
I want a P67 (the new Reo mod) so am waiting patiently

 

[DaveH]

Thanks Silver,
I have to say I much prefer the new Reo with the rounded ends.
Dave

 

[4RML]

Well done , hope you are happy!

 

[Rob Fisher]

My guess is the bottles may only hit the Reosmods web site after Xmas to coincide with the release of the P67.

Hi Guys. I just love the locally produced squonker. Well done @Justin Pattrick. I think you done us vapors proud, especially the Squonkers. I just want to find out the following :
1. Is the ventilation effective?
2. What protection measures are in place in case of a short-circuit?

 

[zadiac]

I just sent Justin Pattric photos of my VR Woodmod Dual 18650 squonker for a quote for an alluminium version

Thank you,
the ventilation is sufficient for the mod.
In terms of protection measures on the mod itself there aren't any, I would recommend you always check for shorts on your atty before using it on the mod.

 

[DaveH]

Justin, why are you on here when you should be making my mod.

@Petrus Id have been flabbergasted if that wizard builder could have gotten a resettable fuse in that tiny mod.
The LP30-900 is a 18A trip and is 3mm thick, 24 X 30 mm rectangle, needless to say an automotive application blade type fuse would just look kak in such a fine machine.
This is why one needs to be on top of their game when dealing with mech mods, an ohm tester or knowledge of using a DMM as a substitute is a need, not an option.

@blujeenz, I agree with you, that is why Rob from Reomods got it covered with a collapsible spring, so no need for a fuse! Reomods tried and tested, but that is part of the learning process.
