With shipping and parts including silicon wire I will build mine for $179.63.
So the balance of the parts with shipping was $105. The kit is $169.95 with free shipping. You would've saved $10 and the time to source the parts.
The entire mod built with all the parts required 179.63, you should check your math.
That damn near $90 less that the current price for a complete unit.

OY!
When you tell someone to check their math, you should check yours...
1st, they only charge $169.95 for the kit with free shipping -- which you claimed to have paid $179.63 (and i'd love to see your total $4.99 shipping when the shipping from shapeways alone is more then that). So they are more than $9.68 cheaper and you don't need to go shopping all over to get all the parts and receive them all days or weeks apart.
2nd, you want to compare your overpaid $179.63+ (more like $190.00) to a completed unit they are selling with a warranty too? No. Compare the parts to the parts. Or are you offering to build these units for everyone for free and throw in a warranty too? So it's $80 more (not $90 as you stated -- which is really $70.32 (per your numbers) minus even more for the shipping charges you omitted -- which would probably make it around $60) for a completed unit with a warranty that a user who isn'g good at soldering can just open his mail and throw 2 batteries in and vape. And you don't need to worry about frying the board, installing the magnets backwards, etc...(costing you even more time and replacement parts if you do).
I actually give them lots of credit. How many other companies even offer a kit? And at a nice savings and even cheaper than if you could get it all yourself! Do you post its a shame that yihi doesn't offer a sxmini kit with all the parts for $120.00? Hana, Vaporflask, Vapor Shark, eLeaf, Joyetech, etc... Or are you just upset that someone saw the market for a product like this and bought/secured (?) the designs and it wasn't you.

danny, do you have a problem with me or something. You seem to stalk my SX posts for some reason. Do you have a vested interest in Gingers Mods or do you work for them? Kits are offered by other online retailers and 3D printing is also an option. I hope Ginger is offering to build the kit since you asked if I was going to build them for everyone.
Comparing the SX to the Boxer, well you like to reach and from your other posts I see you like arguing, it appears to be one of your strong suits. Thank god you can profess to always be right. And since you know everything, the $4.99 is my shipping from Shapeways, my Varitube shipment was free.
I corrected my math by looking up each online receipt since casual comments seem to be called out so often I pulled exact numbers. I paid $165.80 for a working mod.
The price for the kit is inflated and having it removed from Shapeways where it was affordable to the masses is BS.
You seem very defensive, is there a hidden agenda?
Again, since you seem a little slow. I pulled the exact expense from each vendor as it relates to the expense. This is the breakdown.

You seem like a perfect candidate for the ignore list so please don't be offended if I don't respond to you any more, I just won't be able to see you or your posts.

Stalk? I was in this thread long before you. No vested interest other then I am ecstatic to have one of these! Ironic, that it's you who's the hater and coming here with multiple posts trying to derail and confuse people -- getting them to mess up their units.
Sorry you don't like to be corrected, but you posted inaccurate wiring instructions. Excuse me for posting the correct ones. Anyone who followed your instructions would NOT have the unit they wanted and would have a mismarked battery sled as a result too.
Now you post math (which you've changed multiple times) and it's still wrong and missing parts. Plus you want to say you have a completed mod for $156.80. No, you have a DIY KIT -- for more then that. LOL.... You say you have a kit for $76.85 when the chip alone cost you $79.95. LOL.
But you're right... I have issue with people who like to post inaccurate information and mislead people with an obvious ulterior motive (was one person, now its two). This is a helping community and my posts are geared to correct and help users -- saving them money and aggravation.
The board costs $80. He was selling the three nylon parts required for $60. That's already over $100, without including the 510 pin connector or any other materials required. Personally, I think the DIY kit, which includes the chip, is rightly priced.
Danny, do you just make stuff up as you go?
I compared the Ginger kit exactly to the kit I purchased, neither included a chip. Their kit is $169.95, for the same exact pieces I paid $76.85 from Shapeways until it was yanked. The same mod sells for $249.95 on Ginger, my built (parallel, I know I did it wrong) set up exactly the same cost me $156.80. You seem a little slow so I hope that helps.
The instructions are correct for a parallel , you call it incorrect because you prefer series. The drawing is accurate as you stated in this thread for a parallel device, yours is correct for serial. But like I already said, you are always right.
My post was adjusted because I KTM questioned the numbers so out of respect I went and looked them up and gave him an accurate (exact) number. So again if by multiple you mean twice then you would be correct.
Now all that being said I believe that I came to this post to assist someone that had a question. You in turn were a jag right away. You are the protector of the truth, only problem with that is you make things up as you go. Your posts are filled with inaccuracies and embellishments.
You said:
Based on them doing things the way you want them to do it. Just like the wiring diagram, you said it was wrong but in actuality it's correct, you just don't like it because it's not series. Bottom line is you are a know it all and you don't keep track of what you type.
If I were you I would scramble back to your old posts to edit. It would be embarrassing for someone to read that you told me I was correct about the parallel and then come here to see you "changed your mind".

Savings against the kit pieces only $93.10 - apples to oranges comparison, the Boxer DIY kit includes the chip
Saving against the kit full working mod $13.15 - For under $14, I'm happy to buy it all from one place rather than figure out where to buy everything at the lowest shipping. Also, GV customer service is fantastic, so I know I'll get taken care of if a part arrives DOA.
Saving against a purchased Mod - $93.15 - Another apples to oranges comparison, the purchased mod includes a 6mo warranty, which requires that a professional tech assemble the unit. Minus the warranty, you're probably only saving $40~50 on professional labor.

^^^ agreed I enjoy putting them together and my Hana box works the best out of my DNA40 devices. Something about vaping off of a device you built. The savings is a bonus.
And honestly Yozhik the only vendor I really trust these days to back their equipment is Rob @ REOS Mods, my flasks were a PITA when the chips went bad. But overall you have a valid point.

Not going to fight with you but i WILL answer your accusations. I am far from a know it all. I just happen to be right here.
1. Neither included a chip? WRONG! Their kit for $169.95 included a chip.
2. Your numbers do not include extra wire needed & shrink tubing - possibly YOU had some, but doesn't mean others won't need to buy it if it wasn't included -- cost approx $5 - $10 + shipping
3. Your number do not include disc magnets or screws -- another $5 - $10 + shipping.
4. So right off the bat you're at $156.80 + items you didn't list (maybe you did in your $179.63 total cost) --- over their $169.95 for comparable products.
5. My words? No... The OP here is for a 150W device. Maybe you prefer parallel and thats fine. Already said your diagram was correct for that. But it is wrong for this thread, wrong for what people want (besides you) and MOST importantly wrong for what is included in the kit. The sled is marked for a serial connection -- that is what they are advertising and they shipped to me. If you wire for parallel the tray will be marked incorrectly. that is exactly what I said. And if you re-read it along with the listing of the kit for sale, you will see I am correct in what i stated and posted. There's nothing for me to keep track of. You just made a couple of mistakes and I yes, pointed them out (as 4 others here did too) so others are not confused.
No need for me to edit any posts. Haven't changed my mind one bit. I said your diagram was correct for a parallel device -- but this device is NOT parallel -- and I further posted that there was no point to install parallel as you get ZERO added bonus for doing so -- but if you want to, go ahead.
But you might want to edit yours. your posts about your costs are wrong and missing items. Your posts about their kit and what it includes is wrong. You post stating their COMPLETED FULLY PUT TOGETHER mod is only a kit with a chip is wrong.
Have a great day.

What is the finish like on this? I've been eyeballing for some time and thought maybe the rough looking finish in the pictures was of a pre-production model. Now I've seen some photos with smooth finish, starting to think those are just rendered drawings...
Everything I've got from shape ways I never cared for in terms of finish... Very rough

These 3d printed boxes like the boxer one are just too expensive For us Canadians by the time you add shipping and exchange rate. A 350j is 100$ alone lol. It's a shape because I love the look of that boxer and would kill for the stl file to have it printed locally
