DNA20-D Mini Mod

[retird]

I finally found a little time between life issues to do a little modding.....sure was nice to be back modding a bit.....

With all the passing of ideas between modders like Mamu, Breaktru, and others I have settled in just building this 20-D version. The process of preparing the mod case continues to be time consuming and somewhat tedious but the use of a template helps a great deal (thanks to mamu's use of a quilting template material). Packing all the "stuff" and wiring it takes some time but getting it all in such a small package is worth the effort. I would love to see such a small unit massed produced as making them one-by-one from scratch is probably not cost effective.

These mods are a collaboration of ideas from myself and other modders.... Size (approx.): 2 3/4" high x 1 5/16" wide x 13/16" deep

Fine looking build retird. Bravo
Don't you just love the size and power. This is one of my every day PV. I prefer the display mounted on the side and w/ the round Li-po. Either way it's a great little mod. Been using the 9v battery boxes for quite some time now with my .44++ mini mod. Great box.
Keep up the great work retird.

Yes, I just got some of the batteries you use, but haven't yet built your style....this mod has replaced my Darwin for all day use (never thought I'd be saying that), but still use the Darwin some evenings....I think that says alot for our tiny mods....

Nice work there retird, just what battery did you-- I call dibs on the middle one!!

E-FLY Model 1200mah 3.7v 25C LiPo Li-Polymer Lithium Polymer Battery......flat battery that just fits in the case with just enough space for the atty connector at the top.... he-he...all 3 are brothers (or sisters) only the middle one is lit up....

Here is a great video of Breaktru's mini-mod using a 20-D in his configuration...just to give ya a better idea of the size...

[scummybear]

Looks like a slick mod. :thumbup:

 

[mamu]

Great work Retird!

I love the mini DNA20D! It's cute and teeny tiny.

Mamu and bapgood have come up with a screen protector for the mini mod (stealth mod)......can't wait to get 'em and integrate into another build....thx......

Great looking mod!!! I would love to get my hands on one of these. Super stealthy design!

 

[Shenton]

Nice mods! are we able to get this on hands??

What sort of usage time are y'all getting out of these?

All depends on the wattage setting.

All depends on the wattage setting.

I currently use a tanked SR Boge at about 8 watts on a Provari. Batteries (2000mah IMR 18650) are about a year old and I get about 12-16 hours depending on vape time, so if I can beat that I'm happy.

 

[dr g]

You won't beat 2000mah longevity with a 1200mah battery. If both are good batteries (which both are).

If it lasts through a waking day without having to hit the charger, I'd be cool with that.

Depends how long you sleep
And how often you vape it.

From what I have seen and heard, though, DNA20 devices are somewhat more power-hungry than Provaris. Probably owing to, to varying degrees, the screen, VW circuitry, and perhaps switching speed.

Well, durn...really like the look of the mini-mod, but guess I'll need the Milo-size...

Been using several of these mods since last December...vaping a 3.0 ohm carto tank at 8.4 watts.....average about 4 to 5 mls. per charge....over 8 hours vape time average....your vape time may be different depending on your vaping habits....I have 3 of these and use them in rotation every day, all day, and they all are very consistant vapers.....the oldest one works just as good as the latest build....and I vape each one till cutoff and then recharge......if I'm going out for more than 8 hours, I just put a second stealthy in my pocket...(they are very tiny mods)....

If you want a longer vape time between charges then the milo or maxi may be what you need...

Hope this helps....just my 2-cents as one of the designers of the stealthy mod.....the stealthy was a result of the contributions from breaktru, mamu, and myself....

 

[mnealtx]

That definitely helps, retird...thank you!

I use SR boges (normal length) and a Phiniac tank. Not sure what that equates to in usable ml, but I usually refill twice in a day (although it's not *all* the way empty when I do - call it 2 - 2.5 tanks/day normal use). Building two and swapping is very tempting, as is building a Milo.

How much modding did you have to do to the case to get everything in, excluding the holes for the display/buttons? It looks like the charger uses the space for the switch that was originally in the case, right? I don't see any sort of drip cup for the atty connector, either - have you had any leak issues?
