No.
The Fully max lipo is an 11.2 volt battery (3 cells in series). The dna 75 uses a single 3.4 volt battery. You would need a 1S lipo or 18650.

what is the battery life difference between a 1S lipo vs a 18650?

Sorry, I don't really understand lipos at all.

Well, I'm 32 years old and have essential tremors disorder. Think, parkinsons but not quite as bad. Normally, my tremor is not debilitating, but when I am concentrating on trying to hold something still, the stress of trying to stop the shaking makes it much much worse. Take for example, when hunting, I am focused on aiming and firing at my target quickly, and I am a fairly decent shot. When shooting targets at a distance however, I am too stressed about trying to not shake, thereby making my shaking far far worse to the point that I was unable to qualify the last time I shot an m16 in the military.

Even wrapping coils, without things like the coiling gizmo, I could never rebuild coils. I may give it a shot anyway, perhaps if I go without caffine for a day or two, and have a chain vape session before hand, maybe I could get my nerves settled enough to do it.

It's nice to meet someone with the same issue. ETs are what drove me to squonking. I loved the flavor from dripping, but as you well know, tremors + dripping = more juice on the mod (and clothes, and hands, and everywhere) than on the coil :(

Hello fellow modders, I want to make my positive and negative wiring super clean and with the least amount of resistance while being safe. I've been seeing what I call "hard lines" going to the fire button, mosfet, or regulated chip. Are there any tutorials on how to do this and what the official term is called? Pics for reference.

Also where do you guys source your positive and negative contacts? I don't really like the keystone battery sleds. I keep trying to find silver ones but I can't seem to find any.

Edit** Did some searching and found these 2 types of 14g wiring, is this overkill? I really wanna do some fancy wire runs

Wire, sterling silver, half-hard, half-round
Wire, sterling silver, half-hard, half-round, 14 gauge. Sold per pkg of 5 feet. - Fire Mountain Gems and Beads

Wire, sterling silver, full-hard, half-round, 14 gauge

Firstly go for fine silver, otherwise you are better off with copper, sterling is an alloy, and not as conductive as pure copper, Sterling silver and coin silver (.925/0.9) have electrical conductivity of ~88%, copper is 100% and silver is 105% (IACS). 14G is pretty fat (1.6mm), but no reason you can't go with thas I use 16g (1.2mm)on my mosfet squonkers. Also pure silver is easier to bend and form than Sterling. Also pure silver oxidation is conductive,sterling not so much :)

Yes, ETs suck. My whole life, I've been asked, "are you nervous" "why are you shaking", then I can't tell you how thrilling it was when my military squad decided to start calling me shake and bake....

Any who, yeah, I had a mech squonker, loved it, but it finally broke on me when i dropped it. So, I went to subohm tanks for a while, but i miss my flavor from squonking, so I am back and decided, I do like my regulated rx200, but want something smaller for travel purposes. So I was thinking a DNA75 squonker. Or maybe even copy subohmies steamcrave mod for the DNA 200. But, soldering just isn't for those of us with ETs.

I've been busy as can be with work and with 2 pinches and a Dripbox beater haven't had the need to build a mod. I am proof of concepting a DIY automatic burette for DIY but that doesn't exactly fit here.
Saw the video. I have no idea what that was. The only thing i understood is 10ml.

It's an old idea used in labs before modern electronic dispensing devices. A way to automatically fill a burette to a preset level without having to carefully fill it by pouring liquid into it evertime. If you have many small bottles you want to put a precise amount of liquid into it makes the job easier and faster. A small feed tube that has what amounts to a large squonk bottle on the other end of the tube is inserted from above into a burette to just above the level you want it filled to. Squeeze the bottle (or an attached air bulb to pressurize the bottle on some) to send liquid into the burette till it is filled above the mark then let go of the bottle and the extra liquid will be sucked back into the bottle till the level in the burette is just below the small tube. At that point it will just suck air back and leave the burette filled to the preset level. Dispense the previous determined amount of liquid from the burette and repeat. I have over 60 1/2 Oz bottles I want to put a precise amount of liquid into and already had a glass burette from the days I CC'ed combustion chambers when porting heads. Quickly threw this together out of stuff I had laying around as a prototype to see how it worked and modify it accordingly. It's not the final version I will use.

I have been kicking around the idea of trying to build a BF, I want a DNA 75 single 18650. I would really like to do it in a small form factor, not much larger than the dripbox, and I would like it to be a C frame.

Unfortunately, I don't have a mill, a drill press, or any other cool toys. I am limited to dremel and a drill. Been thinking I might just copy subohmies steam crave squonk box DNA 200 conversion, but stick with the 75 for price reduction and the fact that it can use a single 18650.

Wish there was a C-frame for modding out there.

What is a C frame?

And you can use 2 batteries in parallel with the DNA 75.

I hope to be able to offer some insight soon. I hope to be able to live up to Corey, turbos, and Capt Steve's legacies.

Working on a DNA 75 and SX 350J project right now. This time they'll get completed.

The best squonk bottle/feeder system design I've ever used or seen is on the cheapo Kanger Dripbox line of mods. I've been wanting to disassemble mine for a closer look and see if I could appropriate it for other mods. The outside paint began to chip so I gave myself the go ahead. Unfortunately, the squonk system is integrated with the rest of the internal hardware by a molded plastic frame, and there are a few molded silicon parts that are key to the assembly, so I won't be able to borrow from it easily. I will however have a brushed bare metal body with more rounded edges when I'm done with it.

Always wondered how that worked!
