if a variable wattage device can be this small, why the heck are my choices on the open market supersized sex toys?

LOL - good question. :laugh:

mamu, how do you make your cuts in the plastic so perfect? do you use a knife/blade? so clean.

First off, I tape a template to the case using double-sided sticky tape. Then, if it's a rectangular hole, I dremel out the hole to within about a mm to the edges of the hole's border, then I work the hole with needle files until I get the size needed. If it's simply a round hole, I either use the dremel bit or I use the drill press.

gravewolf - With it being a 1200 mAh battery, probably 8-12 hours.

mamu - Very nice job! I would like to make something like this in the future.

any idea when the DNA20 will be back in stock or know of anyone else that sells them? the only thing that is in stock is the 12 and the charging board. i have a couple of ideas that i want to build and the DNA20 would be ideal.

It looks like it is back in stock now.

mamu - What box did you use to build this? I know you said it is a 9v box. I have a 1000 mAh 20C pack and a chip set out of a Lavatube that I would like to use to build something like this. Do you have the dimensions of the inside of the case? Thank you for the inspiration.

Very nice mod, it's so small and perfect for stealth vaping. I really suck at eclectronics no matter how hard I try to learn it. I wonder how long does the battery last on mods these small since I'm a chain vaper.


gravewolf - With it being a 1200 mAh battery, probably 8-12 hours.

Gravewolf - Im not saying this info is incorrect, just that there are a lot of factors that go into determining vape time. You said you are a chain vapor, and if you vape at higher watts you might not see that kind of vape time.

It may not be a big deal if you use the DNA usb charger and are around a usb port most of the time.

I have found similar mAh lipo's outlast the AWR type cells.

I hear people say they vape at high watts and a particular battery lasts all day...etc....etc. I put people into two main categories....all day vapers and smoke break vapers....and as such their vape day is dramatically different.

I'm lucky enough to be an all day vaper....set at my desk at work and vape, etc....When I was using high drain 2000 mAh 18650's I could use one up in an 8 hour work day, and I'm not a high watt vaper.

I think a 3000 mAh lipo with decent C rating is about right for an all around battery. It should last all day for even the most determined vaper, and using a DNA charger will charge from dead to full in ~6 hours which is my average sleep time.

I'm currently using this 6000 mAh 65-130C lipo, ~2.3 ohm tanked carto at 7.5 watts and it will last 4-5 days on a full charge. Doesn't really fall into the stealth category, but its what I'm using and know the data for.

Inside dimensions: 1-1/8" width x 2-7/16" length x 5/8" depth.

...I'm lucky enough to be an all day vaper....set at my desk at work and vape, etc....

Same here, plus I vape at 15W. I get 5-6 hours vape time with the 1200mAh batt in this mod before the batt needs a charge.

I did another version - one with all black buttons. I prefer the black bigger fire button for front and center, but like the all silver buttons look better. And I've been outvoted by my kids and BG to do the all silver, smaller buttons version. People just gots no love for my beefy fire buttons. :laugh:

I like it mamu. Black adds to the Stealthness. Ain't the stealth bomber all black.
