18650 Altoid Gum Tin w/ DNA12

[ianferrell]

A little bored at work so I thought I'd throw a few pictures on here of this thing. I originally bought the dna12 to go in my vmod XL, which I had working, but sucked because you could barely get the case closed... As I looked around my office I realized I had enough crap laying around to throw this together, including the ancient altoid sour chewing gum tin. The ergonomics on the thing are surprisingly good, for something I tossed together while 'working from home' one day, its pretty awesome.

That's my vmod in the background for a size reference and the tank is a smok vivi/hyper SRT.

Well, I'm not the best either, but I do have a lot of tools.

Looks good man. Was thinking of putting one of these in my vmod xl. Is it really that much of a pain? Ant tips for a noob to modding??

 

[ianferrell]

Get a kick for a vmod, build something if you wanna use a DNA No real tips, except maybe pay attention to ohms law. The DNA takes a lot of the thought out of building a mod, imo. It takes quite a few wires... but you don't have to set it, well... set it once and forget it. I didn't bother making the pot adjustable from the outside, I never mess with it. Its set and I just use it. For the price of a dna, I can't imagine bothering with anything else.

Yeah, I hear you. The DNA is cheaper than the kick. Def would take a lot more wires. So I guess it's all just personal pref. I think I'll watch the classies for a kick and just try my hand at it. I've got a few ideas for a couple mods i'd like to build. I have plenty of hand tools for fixing cars but not much in the way of making mods though lol.

Where do you get a DNA 12 and are there any wiring diagrams? Vary interested in building a single battery boost altoid box. Vary was intentional. Lol

This is too cool. I see a fun mod in my future.

 

[ianferrell]

It is easy and they work great

I ran into a guy at home depot with one while looking for copper and brass parts for my next project. Its pretty neat stuff and it hit like a champ.

The key is "a lot of tools". It has been my theory that the more tools you have the greater your skills.

Or in my dads case, the easier it is to talk someone into coming over and fixing stuff for you lol.
