Anyone built an Arlo Dual 18650 DNA 20/30 ?

[USRN2016]

Hello all,

I'm really wanting to build my first box mod, and have been searching for a DIY step by step guide. I found this one http://mamumods.com/tutes/arlo_howto.pdf and it looks great. Of course I'm going to change a few small things, but was curious if anyone had built one?

I think I'll use the SX350 though, found a cradle for it ( SX350 - Screen Bezel 2 by bapgood on Shapeways )that will fit perfectly. As well as change the top cap with a spring loaded 510 connector 510 Connector - Spring Loaded Center Pin

Only other thing I've bought thats different is the watt adjustment buttons Amazon.com: 5 x Momentary SPST NO Red Round Cap Push Button Switch AC 6A/125V 3A/250V: Home Improvement
All personal preference, but really looking forward to getting this built. So, has anyone built one of these following this guide?

Check out the Arlo thread. How did you miss it? http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/538730-arlo-dual-18650-dna20-30-step-step-how.html

Okay, maybe I didn't explain it correctly lol I stated that I did find it and was asking if anyone here in these forums have built one.

More than a few of us in that mentioned thread have made the Arlo mod, including myself. Check out the builds. I would love to see this box with SX350! With two less buttons to deal with, it may be easier..............

You may have problems using these for wattage adjustment buttons as they are quite large. Would probably work fine as a fire button.

I like this thread, it's not 50 pages long, lol. Where's the best, cheapest place to get the little buttons and fuses. I know eBay, but which vendor?

Switches
KSJ0M43180SHLFT C&K Components | Mouser

As far as the SMD/SMT fuses, Mouser and Digikey are both out. Not sure where else to look.

Specifically, what fuse(s) am I looking for? I know they're 10 amp, but that's about it.

Would those work?

............I used this style fuse....... 10 Pcs 1812 3A 8V PolySwitch SMT SMD Resettable Fuse | eBay -They are extremely small and challenging to solder but small is a plus when you need all the working space you can get away with!

My fat fingers don't like the tiny buttons lol I'll make the ones I bought work.

Ah, well If I had read the whole thread I would have seen the finished mods (DOH! My bad!). I only read the first 10 and last few pages. Love the different mods people built. I may even use my 3M carbon fiber vinyl to wrap mine in. And really looking forward to one button! Wish I would have bought the chip and then the buttons! Have extra buttons lying around now... Might have to do a 120w box mod also!

I still can't find the charger he used for his case.

Disregard, I found it!

 

[USRN2016]

The case is the charger. Its a battery back up phone charger from ebay

Fasttech sells one also, but the one without the battery is sold out atm.
