Wizard EVOLVED

[Kerbz]

Kerbz,
On the electronic tube you have 2 threaded rings, one at the upper side and one facing the battery.
Probably your mod was a little bit screwed to tight and maybe the contact pin was pushed back a little.
Try using longer battery then VTC, something with a nipple or if you have the skills can do this:
- unscrew abit the bottom ring and screw the top ring and you will end up lowering the batt contact of the mod.

A picture with your batt contact will let us know what you have to do and it will be easy for us to find a solution!

I want to know if the brass contact thst is making connection with the battery is still rises above the bottom ring or not.

Mark,

I took the best picture I could of the brass connection. It does not rise above the bottom ring. Let it be noted that I just received the WAE II and I have not tried any other batteries in it besides the VTC 4's. If you need any additional information let me know thanks for your help!

Look what the mailman just brought me, courtesy of another great ECF member. I'm so excited just had to share!

It doesn't have to be over the edge of the threads, but have to be over the edge of the ring.

Try also another battery, the tolerance of some batts are very big sometimes

I believe that I now own the rarest mod known to man kind.

Most of my vtc 4 batteries work great. The ones that dont are the ones that had the positive pushed in from other mods. Simply use a tiny screw driver and pry the positive back up from the bottom through the tiny slots. Now they work.

There was a lot of trial and error for the fitment of the screen. Plus the clear shim that mark used for the up down buttons wouldn't work due to the screen plug. I had to make my own shims out of an old expired credit card lol. The fork tool I used was.... well, just a modified fork. The delrin for the screen had to be trimmed up a bit and wow did it line up perfectly. I used all 18awg wiring and i didn't think it will fit, but did with ease. The removable screen made it so much easier to solder the ground connection and i just slid it in after everything. The up down buttons seem more clicky as well.

Only two negatives, no W. Now I'm not sure if I'm adjusting watts, joules, amps, or volts lol. (Who cares about the big W.) The other negative is that it doesn't have a Gem yet. :-(

You should post up the rest of the photos you had on FB! It looked like you had to shave of 1/2 of the top delrin rail mount for the screen. But you screen looks perfectly centred?

Removable screen is a huge plus for the installation. Did you managed to install a second ground or jumper the traces on the DNA40 board to the solid grounding pin?

that's pretty slick, the missing W doesn't hurt it at all, never woulda guessed it would fit in there like that,awesome job man

Did you happen to take any pictures of the progress? As you did the upgrade.

Yeah they're on a dna 40 Facebook group page. It's a pita to post them on here with imgur after the forum change. I have to type out the whole img code instead of copy and paste. I'll post them when I get some more time.

One question... Since the W is gone, did it that affect the text messages too?
Temp protection
Up new coil, down same coil
Atty lock press up down
Etc....

Yes some of the messages are covered. New coil, temp protection, and so on. The button lock is not.
