Right just to let everyone know that as there has been a bit of interest in this i cant really do a lot for the next couple if weeks as ive got to wait for the chip and screen mounts to come from Shapeways.
Also if i dont get reddragon cloupor finished i think she might track me down and

No hurry mate, how about a provisional list to gauge who's all in.

Sounds like a good idea but it must be provisional list based on the fact that the first one has not been built yet so peeps might not like it and ive not priced it up yet.

Have you got nothing better to do @windows? I was only bigging you up to the young man in rojeans liverpool today, he had a cloupor mini and I told him how fab mine was going to be

reddragon your cloupor is turning into an effin nightmare
Last time i updated you it was going for a powdercoat. Turns out that whatever metal the Chinese made it from wont take the paint so ive wet sprayed it, but im still not happy with the results. How does a nice wrap sound

tbh is sooo flippin small its a right pain to try and get everything to fit im leaving the charging board out of mine because i dont use it anyhows and ive gone cross eyed trying to suss it out lol

I know what you mean decoy its like trying to do keyhole surgery on a mouse. As for getting the board in and the screen lined up, shoot me now. If i ever get this lot in it will be the first and last one i do.

Just in case you need some inspiration  @windows and here's a little more

You need to go to the original page for the videos to work, translation stops that function I think.

The guy's a prolific blogger and although language is a bit of a problem, it's good to find inspiration and insight full views and reviews that aren't from the other side of the pond.

My current build is inspired by  this one

Edit: Won't link directly to the page so scroll to the Jan 4th entry for the 1st one and Nov 8th for 2nd. Current build link is ok.

Right ive finally made a start on the squonker. 
Got all the bits together inc bezels and chip mount from Shapeways. 
Cut the holes out on the cnc today so all being well it shouldn't be to much bother to get together.

I hope it's appropriate to post here but I need a new box mod doing and have seen one that I love that has been done by piper1. The guys I usually use are too busy and I'm impatient the mod is a hammond 1590g running on a single 18650 very similar I suppose to sigelei mini it has the screen in the side and is vw with a fat daddy on top. The box is then finished to a mirror finish. Anyone help with that?

[Deleted]

Prob build you the box but dont have access to a buffer for the mirror finish, sorry.

[macmagoo]

Is that for a big screen DNA40 or the normal screen?

[Deleted]

Small. Thought i would try to make sure it all fitted before i got too ambitious.

Well just to let any of you peeps watching the progress of this build my hopes of keeping it the right side of 100 notes has been blown right out of the window.
Having priced up what its cost for all the bits n bobs and not adding much for the time ive put into it its going to be more like £150.
Im going to finish it anyway but there is no way to get it any cheaper when using decent parts, sorry folks.

[geordie_vaper]

£150 for a dna40 squonker is a great price mate, if i wasnt saving up for non vaping things at the moment ad hapilly pay £150+ for it
