    google metal madness vapors. they are the makers and sellers of the DID. I own 2 DID's and they are great.

    so i got my second DNA20 board today. Got everything assembled, popped the battery into the battery holder, and the screen lit up. tried the up / down buttons, didn't work. tried the fire button, and it fired my DID. then looked back at the screen, and watched it go dimmer then brighter, then...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    finally got my petsmart stones in. got a few nice wicks shaped, but noticed a few things. even after torching the wire, it was still difficult to wrap a tight coil with the wick out of the DID (30GA Kanthal). This lead to glowing wires and dry hits. I carefully wrapped a coil with the wick in...
