what sled is the vt75 using? does anybody know?
It uses a tube with screw in bottom cap, most far east > 30 W now days use in-house connections made from pressed sheet metal as the flat spring ones on the market are so poor.

Now that I have 3 Silo's on the way, I was looking at battery sleds and they all seem too big. I might just solder the battery in and use foam strips to wedge it into the case. I soldered a 18650 in my Hana mini clone with a DNA40 and it's been working great for over a year.

Looks like I got my Mojo back today.
  • R&R a DNA200 in under 30 minutes, including the circlip.
  • Placed a $300 order with FT and got my 10% discount.
  • Mixed up a 1 liter batch of unflavored 40mgl ejuice from some nic concentrate I froze back in 2013 (always FIFO), looks and tastes perfectly fine.

Happy Memorial Day to all the Americans :) Hope you enjoyed your day off?
I worked all day :(

This sled fits right in with just a little sanding down on the corners :) http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/keystone-electronics/1042/36-1042-ND/2745668
The contacts might not be ideal , but they will do. There is a little ledge inside the silo that stops it from hitting the board, it's like it was designed to go in there :)


Whats up with this thing? Anyone have any info on it?
$126.95 Authentic Rcomen Boxster 65W TC VW APV Box Mod - 6-65W / 200-600'F(100-300'C) / 1*18650 / aviation aluminum alloy + carbon fiber at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
What chip is in it, who makes it, it's not cheep. Makes me wonder about it.
It says removable 18650? they must of did some magic to make it this small with a removable 18650 :)

Hey look what came in the mail today :) 6 business days from florida, not bad :)
I got it for 130 plus 10% off with discount code, it's a dual 18650 SX350j V2 chip mod kit :)
I know it's like swearing in here but I'v grown fond of the SX350 J chip :)

I thought you made the chip, it says "Canadian SD chip" in the description :)

What ever happened to the Trucker and the Russian Chips he got Did he ever let us know how they were?
I think his were Dicodes as well. He kind of fell off the map though.

I saw those sleds on Amazon with another type that looked slimmer but both seemed too big from the given measurements.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...a-042f-4a27-8573-b7334f50389f&pf_rd_i=desktop

http://www.amazon.com/uxcell®-Black..._UL160_SR160,160_&refRID=0A5WP6CW47NR5SP33AP9 (these would need the wires replaced with thicker gauge)

With shipping, it'd be cheaper to order from Amazon. 2 of the Silo's are for DNA75's so they'll need sleds but the 3rd is for a DNA200 and I have a 950mah 3s for it.

The first link you posted looks like the one's I used :) Very little needed to be sanded off the corners on one side to fit :)

The Keystone is what Evolv used in the Beta Mods, although most (including Evolv) thought it was mediocre solution at best. Voltage drop is a major enemy at 75w on a single 18650.

I thought about taking one of my 950's and wiring it as parallel but I have a bunch of new 18650's so I was planning on using them. I don't vape more than 25w and if I want to go higher than 50w, I have 2 ERM+, BRD200, v200 and VS DNA200.
