My DNA20 box mod project build

[Bmays]

did the led light when button was pressed or is it just always on.

Lit when pressed, however that's been a while. I'll be back into the same boat with my dna build and will know more then as to exactly how to wire it.

If memory serves me right, I soldered the (-) for the LED to the switch casing and case grounded everything, that way there were less wires.

I'm confusing myself so....

Wow, I was going to attempt the exact same thing. Ground and secured at the same time.

But my taps don't go near that large and a hole is cheaper

I have heard (not verifed) that a chi you air flow ring would work as a nut. Bap has a chi. He would know for sure.

The chi you cap threads are 21mm x 1

Man, I wish I was the type of dude that had the tools required to do a job like this

Doesn't work. Bap posted that the threads were 21 x 1 I think. Go back and make sure tho.

I will double check but I think it will work, but this would be cheaper if you had to buy something $2.31 Replacement Kick Tube for Chi You at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

So why is the "chi you top cap" we all have nothing like a chi you top cap? Lol. I have examined more than a few and I have not seen this top cap as anything other than a part labeled "chi you top cap". Does it just top the tube and delete the battery vent on a chi?

There are authentic chi you flat tops as well. It is an "after market" top cap. It wasnt on the original mods but the cap was offered as a "option" to shrink the height of the mod for those that didnt need adjustable airflow on the 510.

Thanks. Good to know. The theads a super short so even if I had a nut, it wouldn't work on my box. I thing I'm gonna scoop up a chi clone and swap the top caps lol.

Asidrave, first off great build. I am a new Vaper but a total diy guy and this is something I am totally going to do. I have just a couple questions. How/where did you use the thermal epoxy on your main board and also on your micro USB charging board. Any chance of some up close pics?

Thanks for the great write up and parts lists.

Awesome. Thanks for your support!

First off...you got yourself one great looking mod right there! Not sure if I would have the patience to do this or not, haha.

With that said, I've been looking over your thread trying to decide if I want to give this a go or just wait 3 months on a wait list for a store bought Mod. I've searched around and one thing I cannot seem to find (call me a noob here) is the type of wiring you are using to wire everything together...and where I could purchase said wire.

An answer would be greatly obliged!

Thanks in advance!

Stranded silicone wire is what I use. 20awg for anything power related, battery, charger and to 510 connection. 24awg for switches. Can be found at hobbyking.
