whokrz Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 I don't know much about electrical, my electrical mod would probably set you on fire. Once I put a finish on the wood it is not very friendly to modification. The CA finish is brittle and probably wouldn't survive. I can't wait for Mega to get a lathe I am sure he will be making some really cool stuff. Bob, I just got some XL3 tubes they are a 18650 with a VV switch. They are also about as tall as the EP14650. Hopefully Thursday I will be turning 1 or 2. I am not sure if they will work for you or not.
mega Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 ecf can bite me, i was asking about bulk products just for my personal use and the post nazi over there deleted the thread and warned me about not asking because im not a supplier, ecf can go to hell
whokrz Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 For the 14650 the drill bit I use is a 11/16 Forstner for the tubes. For the cone it is a 21/32 about 1/4" deep for the cone ring. Then I use 7/16 the rest of the way.
whokrz Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 Got a few more pictures for everyone. 14650 e-power in redwood burl XL3 18650 VV in Tasmanian Eucalyptus Burl XL3 18650 VV in Box Elder Burl (Brown) XL3 18650 VV in Box Elder Burl (Black and Gold) XL3 18650 VV in Buckeye Burl (Brown) Hopefully next week I will be running a few in the XL3 Mini VV 18350 (tube only)
mega Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 the look sick, the hell with the cones they look great by them selfs. id almost say put the switch on the lathe also and get rid of the cone threads. just my opinion. lol

It would also be really hard on my chisel. I like both with and with out the cone. I figured I would give people options and with out the cone it is a little cheaper. These are gorgeous!!! Thanks
mega Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 ill look into a thread on collar for ya for those that dont want a cone but to cover the threads.
whokrz Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 Turned a few more. Go-Go in Box Elder Burl XL3 VV 18650 in Buckeye Burl XL3 Mini VV 18350 in Bigleaf Maple Burl XL3 Mini VV 18350 in Bigleaf Maple Burl. XL3 Mini VV 18350 in Box Elder Burl
whokrz Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) There are pictures of more wood tubes on discountvapers.com. They are not made by me, but they guy making them also does very nice work. In the future my work will also be sold at the same site. Lewis These are currently being sold at http://www.discountv....com/wood-mods/ These are labeled as LG(Lewis Gentry) on the site. The JF mods are done by Joshua Friend. I thought I had posted this info, but only that they would be in the future. Thanks to Bob it is now posted Edited March 17, 2012 by whokrz
whokrz Posted March 18, 2012 Author Posted March 18, 2012 Eric at discountvapers.com is going to send me a Vision Tox VV 3.0v - 6.0v. The price for the Vision Tox is $64.99 I am going to try and turn both battery tubes that come with it. A am doing this because I want one for myself. If I am able to turn them I will post up pictures for everyone to see.
whokrz Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 About a year ago I had Kallenshaanwoods laser engrave some gift boxes for me. They also laser engrave pens. I have been interested in these engravings for about a year. I am not sure if I can put a CA finish one them but I think I will be trying in the future. Here is a picture to give everyone an idea of what I am talking about. These are two pen tubes that will be installed onto a pen try to imagine this on your PV with a CA finish over the top
Mark Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 That's some nice work you do there Lewis! I am currently playing with Alumilite to see if I can make a mod and e-liquid holder. It's showing some potential.
whokrz Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 The ingraving picture is not actually my work. Hopefully in the future I will be making stuff like it on battery tubes and eventually other items. The holder is coming out nice. I need to make a small one for my PV. I use CE2s and stand the battery upright. The cat loves to knock it to the floor.
whokrz Posted March 24, 2012 Author Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) I made a Ecig - How They Are Made page http://gentrywoodtur...s.php?id_cms=11 Now everyone can see all of the work that goes into these. I also turned my first indulgence for Txtumbleweed. It has a tube, cone and drip tip. Edited March 24, 2012 by whokrz txtumbleweed 1
ThaLadyD Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 These are gorgeous! Wow. I've not seen a wood mod finished in an acrylic like that.
7sons Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Very nice, hope you don't mind I tried my hand at it. I have a metal lathe but I worked it by hand with a wood chisel. Sent from my GalaxyNexus Edited March 26, 2012 by 7sons
Viper Ron Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Very nice 7, where did you find that drip tip for the EMDCC?
bamsbbq Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Very nice 7, where did you find that drip tip for the EMDCC? I.could be wrong but I think its just an Ego Mega drip tip. Available at a lot of.vendors. Sent from my SPH-M820-BST using Tapatalk
