What are you using to hold the switches in? Epoxy? or something else? I tried to use JBWeld on mine.. don't think I used enough and the switches pop out.. even after roughing up the aluminum on the inside..
Thanks!
Thanks!
The JBweld I use is the one where you mix the weld from two separate tubes and takes hours to fully set...(knocks on wood) haven't had one pop out yet...
Ok.. i'll do that again.. might have been a fluke since that is the same stuff I use..
Thanks!
Thanks!
This project has been on the back burner awaiting a new technology from Evolv..... gonna be able to finish it soon.....

Retird, I have built one of these myself and used the Varitube 510 connector. My question is, can i tap the hole for the Varitube 510 since the threads are too short to reach through the case. On the last one, I had to grind out the inside of the box and it was fairly hokie. Seems it would be easier to tap the hole since it seems to be fairly close in diameter? Do you know what threads to look for on a tap?
retird,
You may be the person to cause me to finally place a FT order. I want a decent Al box... but I don't want a single battery Hana style one... guess I'll need to waste away a few hours on the FT web site.
[soapbox]We need a good OpenSource movement within vaping. Something with a few big name manufacturers behind it[/soapbox]
Back to your topic though... I'll be watching happily to see you build this

Nearly positive the varitube ones are M10 x .5

This thread is essentially dead, believe most of the discussion moved over here (still active):
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/585616-building-hana-style-mod-fasttech-enclosure-looking-tips-tricks-suggestions.html
Yep, this thread was dormant for a while.....was doing other things....gonna complete this build as time allows.... will try to take some pic's to post along the way....hopefully will end up with a DNA40 big screen in a CANA enclosure. The only thing I'll be using in this FT CANA kit will be the enclosure and the battery holder.... The wiring, 510 connector, etc. will be not be used....
Enclosure on left after modifying display window to fit the big screen DNA40. Standard enclosure on right before modification...THX to mamu for the 3D printed display holder..

Enclosure on the left after drilling and tapping the 510 connector hole to accept a Fat Daddy 510 spring loaded connector. Enclosure on the right before modification. See his web site for drill bit and tap sizes....

Top enclosure is shown with no modifications. Bottom enclosure inside view of modified display window and installed tactile switches using JBWeld to secure them.
I built two of these with the DNA40 standard screen. I put on the fat daddy 510 (threaded) and a nice fat fire button. The up/down were epoxied in but I will use bondic in the future. They are so simple it really was a 20 minute process. The inside doesn't look like Mike did it, but it vapes and I like em. getting the screen to register right was a pain and I have since ordered a few of the shapeways sleds:

I will be using them on some wood/brass/stainless mods I am working on. Still waiting for the brown truck to bring my the bagged lipos!
