I acquired some box mod blanks a couple of years ago and they sat on the shelf. Looking at them now, I do not want to make a vape box so what other uses are there?

I never heard of a box mod or a box mod blank. What are the dimensions of the blanks? What species, or is it something other than wood?

It is a colorful hybrid measuring 4 3/8" x 1 3/4" x 2 1/2".

WOW!
Pricey. They not very big. I can't think of anything off the top of my limited brain. Maybe a bottle stopper or duck call? Pens are always an option.

Lots of new terms here. What a vape box?

They are plenty big enough - I make some smaller things, great for presents. Perhaps cut 1-3/4" squares and mount in a chuck for turning.

Needle cases are appreciated by those who sew, same little boxes can be used for pills.
I've made 100's of little finger tops, kids (and adults) love them.
You can quickly make simple Christmas ornaments with small turning stock - I turned these from cast acrylic.
How about knobs for lidded bowls/boxes like a Beads of Courage box, usually made from wood.

You can also make handles for silverware/kitchen gadgets, tools/files, wands, etc...
Jewelry. Drapery pulls. Pens.

They could make great knife scales.

If you don't care for making small things you might sell them on Classifieds here.
