Maybe they did use wire on the VA DNA75C Spade. Just what gauge is that?
Note the end of the 510 positive pin in the part that hooks up the squonk bottle.

Edit: My mistake, that is not the end of the 510 positive pin.

you did open a claim with paypal, didn't you?
Well sort of, the messages are going back and forth through PayPal, if not resolved by Jan 14th it gets escalated in PayPal. (I have to take that step)

I highly doubt you find a direct replacement lipo for the VT200 :(
There is a thread from long ago over at the evolv forum, with some replacement options :)
Hcigar VT200 battery options
Wow! A lot of people sure did go through a lot of work trying to get something to fit. Well luckily for me I have lots of batteries. Oh look, those 950mah 3S lipos from that eBay Hana modz guy (zbbmods) fits in perfectly. :D

As far as I know all DNA boards (EScribe boards) will power up with just USB powered cable and connect with EScribe. On the DNA250 the screen will not light up unless on battery power, not sure what C screens do.
C Chip screens work on usb port alone :)
That is the way I remember it too. But I was throwing every DNA I had on without batteries and I always got...

So why doesn't it work for me? Toss in batteries and they connect to EScribe just fine. Been using the same USB cable for years...

... wait... YEARS??? Maybe it failed? Tried another cable and everything is fine once again. I just have one USB cable that just happened to go bad for just some conditions. :lol:

Well as I mentioned before a 100 ml bottle of 3 mg liquid was included with the mod that I purchased. That is all I have been using since last Monday except 2 or 3 drags on my regular. I can pretty much say now what I was thinking for quite awhile now. I must not have much of a nicotine addiction, either that or I have a huge supply of it built up in my body than I'm still running on. No problems so far....well except the wife filed for divorce, the cat ran away, my son moved out and I got fired.
(not really)

I ordered some Smok Nord coil heads from FT for the wife's Nord that I just ordered from 101. Added a couple of Aromamizer single coil decks to the FT order. Ya probably know that I have one of those fancy pod systems here but it doesn't interest her, maybe if they make a pod that works right it will be put back into service. The poor thing has such potential.

Hey all quick question, I normally put the finished product (after I mix up a batch) in a cup of very hot water about 5mins, both to jumpstart the steeping a bit if it has any flavorings in it, or to just make it easier to shake up if it doesn't. My gf does not have the patience for this and has always preferred putting it the microwave, we've had disagreements about this in the past, it's not like I have any scientific reasoning for for not wanting her to do this but watching her routinely nuke a bottle today while making her nespresso & getting ready before heading off to work vaping it, just doesn't seem good... Any thoughts?

Btw is that a vicious ant mod^ How much does it cost?

Sitting down, facing forward.
Kiba, I don't know how long she's nuking it for, but it could be a bad idea. Too easy to exceed a safe temperature especially with a plastic bottle. She could start leaching plastics into the liquid too easily. I usually mix far enough ahead to let things steep two weeks before they get used, all tobacco flavors. If I'm in a rush I break out the UC cleaner, load in six, freshly mixed, 60ml bottles, add warm (not hot) water, and run the cleaner through four, one half hour, cycles.

Still experimenting with my 75C, here I put some dual single core 26 gauge Claptons in a dripper and set preheat to 100 watts and then 75 after to check voltage drop. Cell was 4.16 at start, low point of voltage was 3.69 volts, max watts was 91.07. It really doesn't quite have enough preheat power for these coils but still is more than this old guy can take. I'm satisfied with the voltage readings though.

I've been looking around at all the places that are taking pre-orders for the new Drone, the dates keep moving and are many different ones.
I PM'd VapeTime asking if I could change mine from all black to SS and black.

Yes, I am hearing March 11, 2019 now. I might have lost all interest in squonking by then. I wonder if Element Vape will have the Vapecige VTX200 for $94.95 by March? :unsure:

Oh, will places do this?

The bigger question is will it be $94.95 or ???
