While I'm not a GB fan, great price on a seemingly perfect DNA60 housing mod. Sale is only on Black.
I'm starting to see why all the GB "hate" :(
My first order was flawless, I thought all you had to do was choose the items with "Priority Line shipping"
I have since found out, this don't always mean the same thing. Just recently There was a sale, with prices that are irresistible 1/2 price or less + the Priority line shipping. This time instead of Canada Post Priority, witch got here in less than 2 weeks. I got this "CAN-DAN" shipping with a GB ending tracking#?? really GB, thats Royal mail,I'm in Canada Not! UK :(
5 days later it don't track any were, talking to GB is worse than going to the dentist :(
I'm comforted by the good price I got, But! who knows when/if this package will show up :(

I to went with a Smoant mod for a chip replacement, I got one of these comming (on sale for 37$) Original Smoant Battlestar 200W TC Mod & plan a DNA swap :)
A 75 or perhaps a 200 @ 133 depending on how it looks, that is if it ever gets here, 20 days and counting now :(

I said it before and I'll say it again...I wouldn't buy from GB even if it was with Hillary's money!

I'm hearing that now!
It's too bad cause they have some great sales, FT or 3F mite have a 10% code or a bit of a sale, but never 50% + off items you want! We live, we learn! no more GB for me!

20 days is nothin from GB. Waited 8-9 weeks once. There is a reason they have generated so many "FANS". Sometimes saving a buck or two just isn't worth it.

Got a White & Black Knight V2 currently shipping from FT and confident they will be here in 2 weeks or so. Paid $83.74 for the pair of them on 10% off sale. Is GB's price tempting? yup! Have I ordered from them? nope!

Hear you about their sales though, sometimes it is tough not to take a chance on them to see if they have gotten any better.

Sitting down, facing forward.
Using Hillary's money is more like using your own anyway, isn't it?

A little of mine and some of the Saudi's, Qatari's and a bunch of others.

What's yours is mine. What's mine is mine.

No, no, what's yours is hers and what's mine is hers, too. Redistribution you know, redistribute to Hillary that is.

Yeah that RX2/3 / Battlestar layout would make for a nice mod with the dual battery configuration. I probably would have gone with the RX2/3 just because I would be assured the chip would have been close to a drop in replacement (with a replacement bezel), I would like the color scheme better and Ecig.com was selling the RX2/3 for $39.95 and often drops 20% or more off of that.

Would also be cool to be able to have the option to switch between 2 and three 18650 configs at will if you could somehow actually adapt it that way (& figure out how to handle the balance plug switching at will).

IDK how you would be able to configure 2S to 3S with a DNA? Mite be a little tricky. I never even considered the 2/3, the bezel seems like it's a deal breaker for me :(
I have a dual 18650 133 watt mod 3D Printed, just like the Battle Star :)
It's nicely small & works great, only thing the 3D print wasn't cheep or good :(
I made it work but wouldn't do it again :(
You can see how small it is :) Thats a VT75 Nano & a Silo 950 :)


From the Smoant website this pic is giving me confidence the board configuration will be compatible with a DNA??
I'm hoping the Battle Star will be an easy conversion :)
Only things I can foresee is the screen fitment & the board mounting holes.
Worst case scenario I can leave the OG chip in there & give it away to some one.
Either way I will know soon enough, NL Post says my Battle Star entered Canada Today :)

Judging From the release of the Battlestar design and the new construction methods of the assembly of the Knight V2, use of the 510s from the Evic VTC, & overall design of both, it is almost looks like Joyetech took over control of Smoant from Cloupor. Never heard anything about it though.

I'm willing to bet even the mounting holes on the board will be the same, but you will need to elongate fire button center post and sand down the up/down buttons a tad as that is what would be needed on an RX200 to swap the board. If that is what is needed, Joyetech must now own Smoant as well.

I haven't kept up with Who's Who in the China mod market.
I'm just hoping a DNA will go in that enclosure, Cause it is a nice size for dual 18650's :)
Hopefully Were there's a will there will be a way :)
I will post my findings when it gets here :)
