Ya know, I have DNA200s, DNA250s, DNA75s, DNA75Cs, DNA250Cs and one, lonely DNA40. It's the low tank that was actually my first, totally, hand-built mod. That thing still works like a champ. I keep thinking about swapping out the 40 for a 60 but each time I use it I think why bother? The darn thing just keep working, and working so darn well.

I have a lot of DNA60,s! IMO the best DNA in the line! I have never had a failure with a 60. E-Scribe is worth the swap IMO. Because of my Titanium preference The 60 was a necessary upgrade from the old 40's Only down side is there is a lot of tiny soldering to do

Well I have more than 50 DNAs and I think it would be easier to list which ones I don't have.

Only 50! I think I have you beat

That's the problem. That low tank is so compact that I can't figure out a way to get the USB board in. The only, real, available space is under the tank/510 shelf and even there the port would probably end up on the bottom. The bottom is 1/8" thick aluminum so that's pretty much a no go as well.

With out the USB, you may as well keep the 40

Well 2 SXK Boro A tanks arrived, no coils though as yet, most likely US customs just haven't got around to them yet.

FT has some new panels for the BB Clear & Yellow plastic

I thought that was a neat idea. A charge cable that you can easily connect and disconnect magnetically. And I was trying to talk myself out of getting one. But just yesterday I found that I had connected and disconnected my cell phone four times in one hour. Then I thought, I really should get one. So I ordered 2.

Later I was chatting with my sister who has tremors really bad and she said she could use those too. So I made another order and ordered some more.

Now I am thinking some of you probably could use them too. So here is where you get them. Careful on the options. You can order it either in 1M or 2M cord length. Also you can order it with either microUSB, Lightning, or USB-C, or to included all three. This link has 2M and all three selected at $9.59. Probably really nice for those who charge their DNAs internally all of the time.

2M 3 in 1 Magnetic Fast Charging Cable With Micro USB Apple Lightning Type C Plugs for Android Phones Samsung iPhone iPad Smartphones

I only ordered from them once 5 years ago and it was fine. Except it takes forever to arrive.

MFS has the EC-S coils for $8.95 for 5 pk. so I ordered a pack. They are about 85 cents more than FT but of coarse another $3 for shipping. Cleaned and lubed the new boxes, had to break out the duct tape to slide the glass for the first time. Maybe by Thursday I can try them out.

Ugh, rough morning. 20 oz of coffee under my belt and it isn't helping. Mama has been waiting for me to get work done on her car, the intake manifold gasket needed replacing. I felt guilty I put my Jeep ahead of it but I had to get it done. I dove into it after supper last night thinking it would take 3 hours max, I'll have it done and off my plate, I finished at 1:18 in the morning. Took it out for a test drive to make sure everything was OK, was almost 2 AM by the time I came inside but had to have it done so it was ready for her this morning.

SIL is coming over in an hour to work on his car, made a deal with him, you do the work, I'll guide you. Hope it doesn't take long, I need a nap. I don't want to discourage him, he's been trying hard and I want him to learn to do this stuff himself, he needs to build the confidence he can do it.

I'm too old and broken for this pace... I need a couple weeks away from the shop.
