I've really been wanting a Hana, but they are really freakin expensive and seem to have some issues lately. I discovered this https://www.fasttech.com/products/1411/10007864/1785704 and am thinking that $90 (with an -authentic- DNA30 and some other bits) sounds a whole lot better than $250 for the same thing. I'm just wondering if anyone has built one yet and what you think of it (pics always appreciated, and drooled over lol)?
I want to get a fatdaddyvapes 510, but curious how it would fit and look? I'm also curious how hard it would be to mod the aluminum box is to make it fit? I only have a cheap hand drill and a dremel. Also, do I only need to wire the pos pin and neg washer to the board, or do you need to "ground" it to the case? One of the posts I was reading mentioned something about a ground wire, but I may have been mis-reading it (I'm not versed in wiring electronics at all).
I was also wondering if the buttons that come with this box are adequate? I'm pretty sure I will be tossing the wire that comes with this and getting some good wire, but are all buttons equal? Will these last, or should I order some from another source? On that same note, are all battery trays equal, or should the included tray be replaced with a keystone?
In reading through some other posts it looks like getting some fuses wouldn't be a bad idea either. Can anyone post a link to the best fuses to use with the Evolv DNA30? Also curious about how to wire the fuses in. Do I just take the + wire from the bat and 1 leg from each fuse and solder them directly together, then the other 2 legs and a length of wire to the boards +batt?
I'm not ready to pull the trigger just yet, but am really close. Once I do I'm sure I'll have a ton more questions, but at this point I just want to get a clear idea of what I'll actually be getting myself into. I've not soldered before, but I have done a little welding and brazing, so I am pretty sure I can handle it. In my head, I have the idea that I'll just get the board, charger, buttons, 510, and batt tray, throw them together and be done and vaping inside of 3 hours, am I delusional?
