The Ebay Guy still has some enclosures $9.95 with Battery included! I'm pretty sure some one here in our thread mite have a spare DNA 250?
Would get you a similar replacement for your missing mod at a discount :)



Do you have any issues with the Short 510? My 2 were giving me grief on a lot of mods cause the 510 just wasn't reaching down far enough :(
I pulled the screw out of the bottom & made a spacer/washer that goes inside between the bottom piece's, it lengthened the 510 screw & now I'm getting a good connection on pretty much all my mods :)
I may have done something similar with the 510 positive on one of them, I have had no contact on some.

I just got back from my local post office, my VapeCige box arrived there early this morning but it doesn't say "out for delivery".....it says "in transit"
The boss man there says I should get it today. I'll only believe when I see.

Even Protovapor has some boxes, both 950 & 1300, without battery for $9.95 - $19.95, a few colors.
I certainly don't need it, just want.

I read that the 510's leak badly on those, replacement might be the first order of business. Could be that this guy got a bad one from the factory too.

That is what I'm expecting since seeing AMD's post.

I understand.

I'm starting to have those senior moments, last summer I was getting ready to leave for some shopping, went to the kitchen to top off my coffee and put the creamer away. When I was ready to walk out the door one of the two mods I always take wasn't on my desk so I'm back tracking my last trips around the house looking where I left it, I walked into the kitchen and spotted the creamer on the counter, "Huh, I put that away" Open the frig and there's my mod sitting where the creamer goes...

I looked at those the other day, pink fading to black was a no go... ;)

I have 2 of those 1300's :) I paid full pop from M.C. back in the day, mine aren't Blems.
They're actually pretty nice, same 510 as the Ebay Hana's, fits a Turnigy 1.3 3S lipo.
It's a bit smaller than an ERM+ but bigger than the 950 Silo, the anodizing held up good on mine, even after a few years now :)

Today the Ebay Hana is still the best deal out there!

They really are, that guy seems to have an endless supply of them!

I got the following today in VapeMail:
  • Gearbest Steam Crave Aromamizer Plus (arrived in 18 days)
  • Lost Vape Triade - Full Silver (shes gorgeous)
  • Titanium 26g wire
  • Demon Killer Alien v2 coils
  • Coil leg measuring tool (didn't need it, but it was cheap and easier)

I thought at first that I had a problem, it wasn't charging, battery mode was set to max recharges.
I checked mod resistance, got 0.003, it was set to 0.004....left it at 0.004
Feels cheap and toy like, but of coarse nice and light.
Edit: too early to know about leaks yet but I'll be sure mention it if it does.

I finally received my $19.85 worth of metal tubes (declaration)

Even the slowest Boat has to dock sooner or later :)

I only have smaller single battery BF'ers & have all ways wondered how a Powerful one would work?
I would set it up with 2 Big Claptons & let er Rip :D

Well I grabbed the Alien v2 coils first. Here is what I measured within the Steam Crave Aromamizer Plus deck.
  • 5mm leg drop below the deck
  • Top of coil can't exceed 10mm high from deck (or it's hitting the top of the chamber)
These Alien coils are a PiTA to get rid of hotspots. Legs were the only part glowing until you stroke the coil like a hundred times. I was going to mount 2 of them in there, but I got one in and they are just huge. So one it is.

Wicked and lubed. Put together and went to do a low wattage DL vape... (cough... cough) I grabbed the 24mg juice bottle by mistake (cough... cough)... Luckily I didn't juice up the tank yet. Filled some of the right juice in the tank and MTL it until the 24mg faded out.

Ah let's see what we got now. One coil is supposed to be .25 ohm, but I am getting .345 ohm. Damn I am only up to 35 watts and vapor production is just amazing! None of my coils I built ever produced so much vapor. This single coil already beats the FreeMax in vapor production. Even with the boost up to 11 on the Triade, my lungs are already filled up with vapor before the coil even warms up (that takes 4 secs). Too soon to tell if it is beating the FreeMax on flavor. But it is the best flavor I ever got from a Plus tank yet. :) But the coil and the rayon still needs to be broken in yet.

UPDATE: I think its 35 watts max for me with this coil. Any higher and the vape feels hotter than 450F. My lungs can't handle anymore vapor anyway. :lol:

GearWorst doesn't ship to Canada anymore... No loss for me as I refused to give them any money a long time ago.
They switched recently to using Netherlands Post for some reason. Which doesn't show up under USPS tracking.

Their Tsuka's are good coils as well, I run them in pairs in the Limitless Plus and Combo RDTA at 110W and as a single in the OG Ammit.

That is a strange picture, you know you can just screw the deck into a mod for building and dry firing without the bottom section attached. ;)

Keep working on it Bill :) The Plus has great potential, you just have to find it :)
Also I would consider the single coil deck, SteamCrave has it for $10 :)
It's supper easy to build & wick :)
They ship out of New York, So shipping will be fast in the States :)
