this is what i went with,
Evolv DNA 75c 2x700 Squonker *BODY* by backbite on Shapeways

Looking at that page I see where it says;
"BODY only make sure you buy Door, sled & Buttons/cradle components to complete build!"
Lower down it gives a build list but doesn't link those parts, I "assume" the parts shown at the bottom of the page are the rest of the parts (see screen capture below) and it looks like this is the button/cradle piece meant to go with it.
DOUBLE 2X700 'FLASK' BUTTONS/CRADLE DNA250c by backbite on Shapeways

Did you order the other parts listed? I've never bought anything from these people or any printed mods so maybe those who have will chime in.

Gotta admit, those are some nice looking mods. :thumb:

Thanks... Trying to decide what tank I want to use on which... On the Paranormal in the photo I have a Wismec Elabo (great tank BTW) and I also have a Greek Vape Cerberus tank currently chillin and doing nothing.. I might put the Cerberus on the Paranormal and the Elabo on the Mirage..

I have some old .22 ammo stamped with a old font U, I'll see if I can find a D for the up and down buttons.

If you have a metal stamping set or a small flat blade screwdriver it would be easy enough to make a "D" from a "U". Just make sure it's empty brass first!:p

I just noticed on these HCigar HB40s, the glue must have dried out and the magnets isn't glued into the covers anymore. The covers (and box) seems like they are made of some sort of heavy zinc alloy. So what is the best glue to reglue them back in, like superglue perhaps? Btw, they are long rectangle magnets.

Thouroughly clean the magnet recess/hole with IPA and sand the bottom and sides of the magnet with 150 grit. I use JB Weld and have never had one come out.

Evolv DNA History

I searched for a history of DNA boards. And I found virtually no information at all. Even Wikipedia has very little information about them. Maybe we all can piece together something worthwhile.
  • 2010 Darwin - First mod to use wattage vs. voltage (12.7W)
  • 2011 Evolv Kick
  • 2013 DNA12
  • 2013 DNA20
  • 2014 DNA30 (early 2014)
  • 2014 DNA40 - First TC (late 2014), V5 added Atty Lock Mode
  • 2015 DNA25 - Lower powered TC board
  • 2015 DNA200 - First using EScribe and multiple material
  • 2016 DNA75
  • 2016 DNA250
  • 2016 DNA60 Large Screen
  • 2017 DNA60 Small Screen
  • 2017 DNA75C - Replay added with firmware update in 2018
  • 2018 DNA250C - First with Replay
  • 2018 DNA Go - First pod with Replay
Thanks to raqball, Wayneo, Rossum, mikepetro, and Steamer861 for additions and corrections.

Evolv DNA History

Allow me to refine by tweaking the order some:
  • 2010 Darwin - First mod to use wattage vs. voltage (12.7W)
  • 2011 Evolv Kick
  • 2013 DNA12
  • 2013 DNA20
  • 2014 DNA30 (early 2014)
  • 2014 DNA40 - First TC (late 2014)
  • 2015 DNA25 - Lower powered TC board
  • 2016 DNA200 First using EScribe and multiple material (not certain 2016 is correct)
  • 2016 DNA75 -
  • 2016 DNA60
  • 2017 DNA250
  • 2017 DNA75C
  • 2018 DNA250C - First with Replay
  • 2018 DNA Go - First pod with Replay
I think I've got the order much closer to correct (although maybe not perfect). The DNA200 might have been late 2015?

There should also be a Kick II in there someplace, but I'm not sure what year it was released.

I *think* the Kick 2 was released not long after the OG Kick.. I also had the 2 but really can't remember how long after the OG it was released.. I am thinking late 2011 but could be wrong..

A lot better :)
Didn't the 250 come out before the 60? I'm not sure but I thought it did?
