    Introducing Futura - The Modular DNA 20 APV by NexgenVapor[ISSUE]

    Well, Id say drippers, dual coil or more 28 gauge works best. It can be done with a single micro coil on a bed of cotton (cheesecloth works best for me), not subohm. You're gonna make me experiment, eh? I'll try in the morning, maybe a 1.5 ohm dual coil... Dang turbocad that's turbo vaping...

    williebb123 has posted that he uses them in the Futura with no issue.

    It's an ICR battery, so no it is not a good choice.

    Then why are you talking, offering off the cuff advice, without any actual knowledge? You are trolling, by definition. You may respond or not but I'm done. You can have the last word.

    It can cover a wide range of tasks sure. But I'll still go with the mfr recommendations because unlike you, they actually know what they are doing. I mean they invented the darn thing and not just for Zen specifically. What have you done? What is your expertise? Why should I take your advice...

    My first response was for the post 2 above mine. You probably understood the amps volts watt equation better the I. When all is said and done, I will go with the manufacturers statements for battery requirement and it is 12 amps continuous. I wonder why that is?

    Ha! Nobody mentioned blowing up, nice of you to interject that for the first time!. It's about the right battery for the job. Another peaker reads a few posts and just gets it! Nicely done and thanks for your well researched and comprehensive input.

    You can get 12 amps out of a battery that isn't rated for 12 amps using the DNA30. The only time it protects you is when when then the battery voltage under load falls below the threshold. That doesn't make it a good thing to do. I got a ton of atties built with juice in them, all different...

    I don't know what to say to that. You obviously think pushing a battery close to it's limits is fine. Forget regular usage, dual coil carto's and whatnot, If a chip can do something you better have a battery behind it that can comfortably provide the power it needs at whatever level. You don't...

    They are good for the DNA 20 but you are just pushing the envelope for a dna 30. The new LG 2500 mah should be more available soon and I know a couple people who are contacting their reps and seeking them in button tops. The 5-6 second pulse limit on the batteries you linked bothers me. Who...

    Fluidvapor has them cheaper than Orbtronic, go figure. I gotta pay tax at Orbtronic (I'm in Florida) or pay shipping at Fluidvapor. Still cheaper at fluid. Fasttech doesn't carry the buttontops. What we really want are nipple tops. The wide raised contacts on those batteries are too wide

    The 30 Amp battery is being suggested for a 20 amp mod (not a DNA 30) The idea is to have a battery that matches your mod. The DNA 30 is 10 amp limit and a group project for a DNA30 mod will probably use the LG 30 amp similiar to the Orbtronic 30 amp. Both batteries have low internal resistance...

    I hear ya 10 amps is fine for a DNA20D........800 mah is a lot of difference, if you get to use it and a high internal resistance doesn't drop it to low under load. The specs state a low resistance . The PF is just an updated PD. Low IR, includes the button top and Orbitronic seems to know what...

    And I think we have a winner for a readily available button top. This battery is 1 of 2 recommended by mamu in the thread mentioned above at the time of her post. The LG had not been tested yet. Hybrid IMR 18650 30A Orbtronic SX30 Ultra High Drain rechargeable battery The one below has a very...

    It's not really a design change. Just a customization. I'd venture to say that all button tops are added by someone other than the original mfr. They are probably not offering this currently because the market (ecig anyway) is being driven by mech mods. I think you'd be surprised at what they...

    An update on battery life in the Futura and any DNA mod. I'll quote mamu from this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/510566-battery-internal-resistance-measurements-2.html "Lastly, and this prob should be firstly look at the internal resistance of the batt.

    Futura good. There have been delays and will be delays which I've gotten used to in this cutting edge industry. If you need something in the next few days shop elsewhere. It's worth the wait. Cerakote is a great choice for the finish. Very well machined, no chop shop here. Just a very fine...

    There is one thing you can try when the battery seems to poop out too early and you have 3.6 volts or so left on the battery. Maybe 2 things. Aluminum is a very good conductor of electricity. It does tend to build up muck at connection points though. Simply cycle all the threads when the...

    This is the only shop in Miami that I know of. I mean the one and only. There's a ton of vendor's that will brand Chinese mods with their own name so I don't consider this a negative. They let you try out all of their juices if you want and have some very nice juices. I've seen them provide...
