Interesting. All of my DNAs are 18650 powered except for my DX200 mods. I really don't like internal lipo mods and if I have a choice, I'll skip them. I don't have nothing against lipos, I just like ejecting the battery if something bad happens and the ease of external charging. But oddly, I never seen the spark with 18650 powered DNAs.
I had to do it in the dark, hard to put together when you can't see what your doing.

I discovered this self fusing rubber (silicone) tape about a year ago, wish I knew about it long ago because the uses it has is about endless. You can find it all over the place but the cheapest place I have found is on Amazon, this is the one I've been ordering. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BFPBC98 Key things when using it, make sure your hands and the things your putting it on are clean, it won't fuse and cure well if it's dirty or even dusty. And pull hard, you want it to stretch more then you think, that's what makes it grip to itself and helps it cure into one solid piece, takes a day or two to fully fuse.

I've cut thin strips lengthwise and used it to fix USB cords where the cord started to pull away from the molded connector end, worked great. I wrapped small screw driver handles to make them easier to handle and give a better grip, even wrapped a plastic rifle stock at the grip area where it was smaller then I liked, made it a much better fit for my hands and being rubber it's a sticker grip now. For more ideas on things to use it for check out all the videos on youtube search query --> self fusing tape - YouTube

ETA: You can get it in clear, black or about any color you want, check around Amazon.

Here's a couple to start with

To get almost every drop of juice out of your squonk bottles insert the positive pin from a protank coil head.


That's a good hack !
I just snip the tube at a little angle.

So previously I posted that my Anita didn't leak, that wasn't even close to true.
I screwed my DIY DNA mod resistance checker into the 510 and applied pressure to the bottle. It leaked where expected, at the bottom of the mod's 510 positive pin. A 4 x 1 o-ring place inside the business end of the 510 completely solved that. I think that if the 510 positive on the atty was flush with the threads it probably wouldn't have leaked. Reduced my 12 down to 6, better now but TGT4 still got it.

I just snip the tube at a little angle.

Tried this early on but sometimes the hose would get orientated wrong and end up with the opening pressed against the side of the bottle. Switched to inverted v-notch.

A small upside down "V" notch in the end with the tube long enough to rest in the bottom corner will suffice rather well. I can squonk a bottle empty with that.

This works but I ruined the first hose by cutting the notch too deep, it left a lot of juice in the bottle. The second try went well. At a local vape shop someone recommended the protank pos pin idea, that's what I've been using ever since. Why not?, I have 30-40 of them.

Went to the Cheesecake Factory today, ordered a mushroom, bacon, cheese & spinach omelet, it was huge and came with a good helping of home fries and giant slices of toast. When I cut the corner of the omelet a pool of clarified butter ran out onto the plate, I knew it was going to be good but all I could think was, this is a heart attack on a plate.... I ate less then half and skipped what I went there for, the cheesecake. :( I had a 45 minuet drive back home and didn't want to have my heart stop while on the highway... As you can probably tell, I don't go out to eat much these days, it's been a while and maybe it's a good thing, I might live longer. :laugh:

I'm expecting a reply from the vendor that I purchased the LV 250C drone from, perhaps it will read like this:
Dear Valued Customer,
We are so sorry about the mix up. We figure this caused great pain and suffering due to the fact that you had to bear having and not using it for 3 days. So to show our appreciation we are going to refund the entire amount and let you keep to mod.
Sincerly, XXXVape.com

Ya right

why not rely on your own common sense? then you can take all those studies with a grain of salt! ;)

Better Hold the Salt Tibs :lol:

So is Bacon & Butter Ok now? I'm sure, if it is? A new study will change the consensus by next week!
