No, just 1 big one around the bottom cap
Oh ok. I added one but then the 510 was too short to make a connection. I was getting a tiny leak from there and I found it strange it is just metal to metal. And thanks!

Holy crap. Walk away from the forum for a couple weeks and spend 4 hours catching up... lol. Oh, BTW I just got my 10 Tobeco KFv5's so now I think I am ready for August :)

Like going on vacation, playing catch up with the a pile of work waiting when you get back. :)

This is one of the only threads I get involved in here now. I venture off a little here and there, but my ECF presence has went way down of late.

Heck many of threads end up turning into insult fights too....

There are more & more threads like that lately. I can often pick out the Fasttech crossovers as they are usually at the heart of it. Seeing some from VU too as it seems quite normal there too. Too many younger disrespectful idiots out there these days.

Same here. I dab from time to time away from here but this is usually where I hang my hat. Plus, it has the best coffee in the house ;)

I'd like to ask a question/advise. I know there are plenty of knowledgeable folks following this thread. I have 2 DNA75 silo 950's, with removable 18650. I vape at about 40 to 50 watts with a preheat of at least 55 watts for 3 seconds, at these numbers an 18650 just don't cut it :(
I get weak battery warning with any thing less than 60% battery charge :( I have tried a few different sleds, even thou they have good contacts, I don't think there the problem. I think the 18650 just isn't enough battery for the high wattage vaping I have become a custom to.
Now my question is what kind of lipo would be best to replace the 18650's? How many can I fit in there, & were can I buy some. Thanks in advance for any help

It is that 3 sec preheat that killing you. Where did you set your low voltage warning to?

I left it at 3.3
I know it's the preheat that killing me :) But I'm not going down :( I have my 200's set at 100 watts for 3 seconds then down to 45.
I know what I'm up against & also know I need lipo's in there, to get the performance I'm looking for, hence my question :) Mike?

Sitting down, facing forward.
Steamer, the thing to keep in mind is that the weak battery warning is generated by the momentary sag during preheat, not during normal power levels. I'm using a 50 watt, 1 second, preheat as well and, other than the problems you're aware of, can run them down to 3.3 volts when put on a charger after "weak battery". I'm using LG HD2s for reference.

Take a look at it in device monitor and it may put your mind a little more ease.
