It's a big enclosure but not too bad.

Looks like you really shoehorned it in there. I was thinking about building a dna 200 in that one but went with a okl t20 chip to make fitting it easier.

Best way to handle the fdv positive is to take the core out, remove the oring, slide the sleeve over the post to where you want it. Then spread it slightly with a flat screwdriver, slather it up with flux. Cut a little nubbin of solder and set it on slit as best you can. Hit it with some heat......I use a small butane torch. Be careful not to get it too hot or the spring will collapse in the core. This is all for a v4 fdv. I haven't messed with v5 cause I haven't gotten one that passed my QC checks yet[emoji15]

BTW, have you had to re-510 the Negus yet? I keep meaning to ask how it's working out.

It hasn't leaked a drop believe it or not. It stays on my desk at work. Too nice a mod to chance dropping [emoji15]

That's great news that it's working just fine. Maybe it was the RDAs that I had on top?

I know exactly what you mean worrying about it being dropped! [emoji16]

Ross, you got any smaller attys with big airflow that are similar to the velocity and tsnuami airflow wise? 60 watts and a single battery mech, I can't get the heat I want from those mods with such big chambers.
I don't have anything of that sort in stock atm. The dark horse mini I have in my stash would fit that bill though.
