Coval has the mini Chuck! It looks like a PITA to build tho! @JuicyLucy do you have one?

Nope, just curious
I'm in shock!!!
You don't have it??? How is that possible?It looks like the Origen 16mm from the outside, the guts are waaay different. It looks like fixed air flow so for me that would be a hit or miss, if the airflow is like the Cyclone, I'm good!

It comes with building posts, like the Marquis, I think
Best finish to put on wood?

No idea on mods but for woodworking, I prefer using linseed oil & beeswax (since varnish and lacquer wouldn't fit for something like this)
2 beauties getting a spa day today 
Agreed. Hand rubbed linseed makes wood have a high gloss glass like coating. It draws out the natural beauty of the wood too.
By the way. I'm liking the coppervape o atty clone.

I had planned on linseed for these little walnut numbers. I think it will be the perfect compliment!
I'm not very well-versed in the natural finishes like @Sonar505 but it will be fun to experiment, especially with the darker wood.
Be careful with linseed oil,as it can spontaneously combust.Read up on safety and disposal of rags that have linseed oil on them.Howard's Feed And Wax is another good option.You can get it at Home Depot or Lowes.
Yes. Dispose of oily rags properly. Very important. As a Firefighter I have worked several structure fires caused by the spontaneous combustion of linseed oil soaked rags.
i tried a standard Odis clone from Fast Tech. Wound up breaking the deck. At times either i do it, or it's involuntary and my body forgets it just keeps getting stronger, wind up crushing, snapping all kinds of things. Well, i snapped the posts on the Odis off just trying to get a "squonk pin" into it. i have used the Odis cap on the Narda deck though. Think i would indeed enjoy an O atty / Odis, simply not gotten back 'round to buying another yet.
Involuntary? yep, my nerves decide upon making my body parts go haywire at times and i have to go along for the ride. *chuckles* i've tried co-cocking myself a few times, tossed coffee cups across the room, dropped tools or flicked them off into space, my fingers twist up into pretzel knots. gets to be a pain in the ass at times for the not knowing when/if it'll happen, then needing to deal if/when it does. think it's just all from how i was wired from go and some roughness of living. "shit happens" & "it'll be what it'll be". *grin*
Latest shiny i bought was a Lost Art Goon clone and three Goon "squonk pins". That damn Hank seduced me to using Goons. Guess I'm kind of spoiled on them and Nardas now, and probably the O atty / Odis. Tried an Origen little but well *chuckles* it was too damn little. I started wrong on building for rdas i think, starting on the 22mm decks and not a 14/16mm deck. By the time i got into rdas though 22mm seemed to have become the 'standard'. i believe the Goons are 24mm as they seem keen to fit right on the Coppervape mods.
then, i also bought us a new laundry hauling poke what has two shoulder straps, yay!
the last one is kind of falling apart.
Skullkandy's Venom mod is tiny. It's just about the size of a battery case (it's like 1mm bigger). I need to buy some wire as I'm not feeling comfortable throwing some crazy low n80 build on it or something chunky on it. Also need some squonk RDAs as all I've got with a pin is an old Velocity Mini clone. My 3F order needs to come soon (Shift, O16 and NoLegal).
It does, but them posts won't set the coils by themselves.

Just exploring my options for when my original TMod gets back from the spa - yeah, she's running behind
I been looking at those. Never had a mech though. You like it.

The hand rubbing is what does the trick.
Only have had it for a few hours but so far it's pretty cool. It does kinda feel like a toy with how small & light it is. The colors I picked aren't helping in that regard. Have a 26/36 kanthal build on it, no noticeable battery drop.
As long as you do some basic research, mechs are a lot of fun
A 24mm RDA will overhang

Are you talking about the Mini Chuck or Steel's doors???
finishing off wood.
And use the boiled linseed oil.
It is also great on wood tool shafts as a protectant.
Soak it in good rub off the excess and will last for years, even out in the weather.
Will probably end up bending the firing plate though as there is like zero throw on it
So you advocate hand rubbing the shaft of your wood? How frequently should one do this to their tool?
Liking the Skullkandy Minuto so far. Looks like the pindad has found its home

You are asking the right guy for sure - after all, he is the resident Wanko expert
As often as desired. or when your wood starts looking lackluster.

Does that happen to you often?
Been married 30 some years so I am the only one with any interest in my wood.
But nice of you to ask.
Yes I got that.Thank you.
Makes it kinda chubby but feels good in hand.

Very nice, I'd toss my rainbow and cf panels in a heartbeat for those.
I was crash rescue in the military

what did you use for backing? looks like some sort of metal through the squonk hole.
magnet placement on the front door? did you do the 4 corners (where the screws are)? How well does it stick compared to stock panels? If better, where did you source the magnets?
Not all that great at wood work, but I may try something like this.
Got magnets at home Depot. Gorilla glued wood to extra panels I bought when I got mod. Countersunk holes in corners for magnets. Thinking of getting some aluminum and making the whole panel over. And yes they hold better.

Looks really nice with the grain horizontally.....don't see that very often.
Such a great combo!
Is that a T-Mod?

Here is a TMod - Custom Classic definitely next on the list....
I have one I'd like to get rid of, never used it.
The screws on the top ain't my cup-a-tea

Why you wanna dump your Tmod?
Never use it, Juice...I don't like the screws on top. Perhaps he has changed the design, I have one of the originals.

Yes, that is an old school design - he uses magnets now
But they are bad ass little mechs nonetheless
