not getting them there...just pointing out the type batt I'm probably going to use ....guess I could have posted pics of my batteries, but faster just to find likeness on the net....

That will do it. two will give you 20c and 1800mah.
One will work good. Look for a 20c around 2000mah
I originally thought of putting a touch switch and a digital Potentiometer but decided it was too much technology for one mod... LOL just kidding.
Next one but most likely a different DC-DC converter
Display size...how about, with your next case, put a flat back/convex glass (poly) cover to act as a magnifier? Just a thought.
I don't get the obsession with some folks wanting to vape at 15-20w; that's like using a car battery and jumper cables. I like VW a lot and 10w is the limit for taste for me. But, everyone has their own preference and whatever works for them is fine.
Great job on the tech side; now you know why I recommended you as a tester. Few others could have provided the data you did.
Looking forward to your next version of the BreakDNA

I was looking for something like the convex lens but couldn't find any. That would be cool. It is read able like it is but the lens would help.
Yeah, I agree with the wattage thing.
Thanks again Para for the recommendation.
Try your local optician's lab. They screw up lens all the time and have some they can't use. I'll bet they will give you several.
Get one for far sightedness...cut to size....and since they are polycarb or plastic...easy to polish.
Hammond makes a "remote" line of enclosures; check their site for something like what you have, but maybe smaller if you want to cut down the size. I know they have some good ones that are shaped similar to your prototype.
I think your mod is awesome breaktru! LOL - only you would see that the display is crooked. I think it looks fine.
Was wondering about your thoughts with vaping vw vs vv. Any difference? Any advantage?
I was wondering about this between us vapers. I guess maybe it can equate to sumfin like smokers who are satisfied with ultra light ciggies vs those who need the filter-less Turkish blends.
I chose higher power over higher nicotine. I currently vape 9-12mg nic, sometimes 14 mg. To get an equatable throat hit for that lower nic I upped my power. I'm currently vaping 11mg nic juice with a 1.5 ohm DCC at 5v - which equates to 17 Watts. I'm totally in my comfort and satisfaction zone with that. And the flavor does come through aok at the higher power so taste at higher power is not a factor for me as the taste is also great.
Was wondering about those who are satisfied with lower power - whether it is via vv or vw - is your nic content high? Or are you more of a vape vaper rather than a throat hit vaper? I guess I'm a bit of both. I like lots of vapor, but throat hit is more important to me, so I up my power to get that awesome hit.
Now with the ability of making vw mods as well as vv mods I think this will satisfy the major group of vapers, from low to high power users.

breaktru, I tried to count. Result - approx 1.2 ohm internal resistance of every trustfire cell (first post). Seems too much even for a cheap 18650 batteries. Did you consider power loss somewhere else - wires, contacts, low efficiency of the booster?
Thanks mamu.
vw vs vv. Don't notice a difference. I'm vaping them side by side at the same settings and it is the same.
Advantage: with a display for wattage, IMHO I don't see an advantage. If I need to swap attys/cartos, in 0.2 seconds the wattage is set. Perhaps w/ NO display there would be an advantage.
Your analogy of the satisfying vape concept sounds good. makes sense. too each his own and I'm sorry if I offended some who vape at higher wattage. I should be more careful with my words. I should have been more clear on what works for me. Lower wattage works better for my juice. I use 18mg nic under 7 watts.
Thanks again mamu for your opinions and findings. As always, they are highly regarded by me and the vaping community.
Personally I use both VV and VW; Darwins and my VV creations. I go for flavor and keep my nic around 12mg (hope to move lower and lower over time). VW is, IMO, is superior to VV because the 44th vape is like the 3rd vape.
My smoking history (37 years unfortunately) was Marlboro Reds....up to 2 packs/day. Back when I was a kid and even more stupid I smoked Picayunes for a while; the 44 Magnums of cigarettes....after a couple of packs MR's were like super ultra lites. lol
Whatever their choice; vaping gives us nicotine addicts options smoking could not...I like that.
Just curious about the DCs; I know two 3-ohm in parallel give a overall resistance of 1.5-ohm. But is this the same as a 1.5-ohm single coil? Does each coil in a 1.5-ohm DC see only 8.3 watts at 5V, so that the vape would be like a dual atty ('double barrel') with two 3-ohm atties? Each coil in a DC would be cooler than than a corresponding ohm single coil, wouldn't it?
Sorry for the interruption

What wattage to you like your 12mg nic at para?
I've been using 08100w, OKR and 04050c's in my VV's and they regulate a stable voltage all the way down to battery depletion. So I find the vape to be consistent.
I just ran my my Li-Pos down to 3.4v with the DNA mod when I notice a weak vape then Zero vapor.
VW - adjusts voltage for any change in atty/carto resistance (over lifetime of atty/carto) 
Has anyone noted the voltage change for an extended period of atty/carto use to maintain wattage? If so, what was it?
...again, sorry break for going off topic
ETA:
ooops, lookit da time! better get movin' before boss finds me! laterzzz

Tom, been using VW for well over a year.....the voltage adjusts, like you say, as the atty/carto ohm's change over time...been so long since I checked my digital readout, can't remember the numbers....but the voltage changes to maintain the wattage....VV does not do that....
I just plug a carto in, vape for days till the flavors fall off, discard carto and plug in a new one....I just use standard carto's and they range from 2.7 - 3.1 ohm out of the gate.....never have to adjust the wattage....just simple, easy-peazzy for me...

Was just curious as to how much the voltage was adjusted over the 'lifetime' of an atty/carto. I'm sure the answer to that is around somewhere, so I'll stop cluttering up break's thread
Had to distract myself from break's pics here, otherwise the drool interferes with the keyboard.
It has been my experience that the ohms dont change on my atomizers till the very end of there life. Usually they just burn out but sometimes you will get one that will change ohms as it heats up. I usually get a good two months out of one before that happens.
so I'll stop cluttering up break's thread
No Tom, good chatter going on here. Please keep it up
