Suicide King Squonk Mod by Purge - £479.99
The Suicide King is a genuinely impressive bit of kit. By all accounts it is
functionally one of the better squonk mods out there. But that alone does
not justify the price. Much of the Suicide King’s appeal lies in its design.
The beautiful navel brass body is engraved with artwork by Matthew
Hagermann. It’s also a limited edition line of just 500, which is always a
handy justification to hike up the price.
Avid Lyfe Custom Setups by Avid Lyfe - £694.99
Okay, this is actually a pretty cool idea. You essentially build your own mod
using a mixture of materials and finishes including gold-plating, copper,
black-anodised aluminium and white rhodium. It’s a mech mod so you’d
think that potential customers would be sufficiently well-versed to decide
whether it’s good value for money or just something nice to show off to
fellow vapers.
Duke SX Stabwood Edition Box Mod by Vicious Ant - £799.00
As the ‘duke’ in its name would suggest, this mod is all about class and
sophistication. With its sleek marble design, it wouldn’t look out of place
on the armrest of a Chesterfield sofa in a rich gentleman’s drawing room.
Contrary to their appearance, Stabwood mods are actually really light,
which is a plus for some but many vapers would prefer something that feels
a bit more solid.
SX350J Dual 18650 Squonker by Magic Valley Vapors - £1,610.16
This is currently in development so we don’t yet know how it’ll perform or
exactly what the finished product will look like, but the digital preview image
is a thing of beauty. It looks like an intricate puzzle box that, with the right
movements, opens up to reveal a magnificent, sparkling jewel. It’s like the
vape equivalent of a Fabergé egg, and at only a fraction of the cost.
Limited Edition Cubic Zirconia-Embedded dotBling Mech Mod
by dotMod - $1,850 (£1,301.03)
24k gold-plated or 925 Sterling silver-plated, depending on your model of
choice, the dotBling more than lives up to its name. The selling point, of
course, is the cubic zirconia stones – 1,232 of them ‘hand set by a skilled
jeweller over three days.’ Pure bling for the spoiled prince in your life.
Custom diamond-encrusted Shisha Sticks Sofia by
Shisha Sticks - £550,000
If your loved one wants to quit smoking and take up ‘having hundreds of
two-carat crystal-clear diamonds’, why not follow an anonymous Russian
billionaire’s lead and commission a custom-made 24-karat gold, diamond-
encrusted e-shisha pipe? According to Anthony Mixides of Shisha Sticks they
‘were told that, within reason, money was no object’, which is ironic given
the complete lack of reason that justified the commission in the first place.
