Here is the battery 4400mah 1S2P lipo and DNA20 config (front one)
Here is my prototype.....wood and I need to spend some more time together before I get all exotic
Right now its a smidge over 4.5" long, 1.5"ish wide, and .875"ish deep.....It can probably come down to 4.25" or so long and a little shorter on the depth.

Looks awesome, bapgood! Similar to what I have in mind except for the metal face. Wooden case w/single 18650 or 22650 bat and as slim a profile as possible. Can't wait to see the finished product! Also can't wait to get my 20D in vapemail!!
This is looking really good so far. When you get this prototype finished it's going to be sexy as all get out!.
Keep us posted and please keep those pics coming!

I keep thinking and changing my mind....I might wrap the panels in leather or maybe engine turned stainless....or something else
The perimeter will stay wood, just thinking that leather panels might be more warm and comfy....idk???
The wood is just oak....once I get more comfortable with wood I want to use something exotic.
Thanks!
I will probably continue ahead using the on board buttons, but as I hold it I think having the button on the side will be much more comfortable. IMO the up and down buttons can be most anywhere.
I'd keep the up/down buttons on the same face as the display and put the fire button where it's most comfortable to click.

I love the look of Engine Turned metal. I think that would be made of 100% awesome...
Kind of went backwards today....still trying to figure out wood a little better
I'm also starting to wonder about using the on board buttons. Maybe its because I never really had the board truly fixed but the on board buttons seemed to not have much feel or feedback....my buttons are kind of robust so maybe they are to heavy???
Still sorting a few things out....but I did get my female connector made and I'm quite happy with it....here is my connector and buttons

You might be right, the mass of the metal could be negating the feedback from the on board buttons. I was thinking a bout scrapping a TV remote to use the rubber switch covers, but decided to go with component switches so they could be replaced if need be. I also didn't have to rigid mount the board for support for the switches. So far the tiny dome tactile switches have been working great for the pot.
I have had it with production 510 connectors, out of the 5 I bought 4 had faulty gaskets. That's looking good bap!

I wish they were stainless, but they are just aluminum. I just have a cheap mini-lathe that doesn't like stainless, but I think when I get everything figured out I will suffer through some stainless or go to friends with proper lathe.
Thanks!
I havent tested to see if it leaks, but I also didn't assemble it like I was going to. It's made of three part - the shell, plastic insulator, center shaft. I threaded the shell all the way through and then threaded the outside of the plastic spacer, I was going to use jb weld or other epoxy on the threads when I put it together but I didn't. The same with the center pin but it pressed into the plastic pretty tight. So we will see I guess
Very, very nice, bap! I envy your tools and talent
Thanks!
I don't know about either tools or talent, but I appreciate the praise. Really wishing I had some proper wood workings tools and skills
