also ? has anyone been charging their 18650's thru their device as i have to order a charger this week and any problems??

Multiple ppl (at least two) reported that charging through the device off of a PC or Mac didn't drop down to trickle properly when full - that could be a (dangerous) problem.

I think someone referred to that earlier in ~this~ thread too. So if you choose to do it, I'd suggest being present and monitoring it as a precaution until your charger comes up. -Mags

I solve this "issue" two days ago. All we need is USB Hub with external power supply (USBs up to 2A + PC access for EScribe). Theres planty of it ($20 and up).

Highly reccomend. I can give u some links when get home.

orico store: http://www.oricoonline.us/category.php?id=21

And that how it generally works/looks.

The one review video didn't indicate so - it was just 133W peek out of the box and everything else was for your particular setup. Are you having problems? -Mags

If we don't see you for a few days - we know you are having a blast. ;-)

I must say the fact you got magnets is curious to me - that means one of a few things:
  • They have three active designs - one build/DIT for LiPo, one build for 18650s, a DIY for 18650s - it would seem odd to me they'd maintain three different designs if the magnet vs non-magnet were identical in 'performance'
  • They have a stockpile of frames that needed building out with magnets - but the order turnaround time doesn't quite match that because I'd presume everything else is faster to get than the frames. It doesn't appear the DNA200 has a long turnaround?
  • I'm overthinking this because I want to have magnets but am curious about other potential changes
Lets go w/ option three Alex .. over thinking this for 120ml VG.

;-)

it is odd. The non-magnet design was apparently produced because DIYers were screwing up the magnet assembly. The non-magnet version is essentially the same as the LiPo right? I wonder if your option 2 is closer to the truth!
