Im not doing pre orders but I can make sure you get one in the next batch.

Matt, how is your daughter holding up?

She's doing ok. As long as we keep her gluten-free we have nothing to worry about. She still cant go outside because of all the grain elevators around us. Still trying to sell the house so we can move somewhere she can go outside. Anyone want to buy a house?

I'm glad that everyone loves these mods so much. I bet I could quit my job and make a living doing this.

Im dedicating today to building mods, so the next batch will be coming out soon.

Could you do a custom dual atty, dual chip, dual 18650 one for me?

Possibly... It might be in the next batch though. I ordered some heavier gauge wire that I'll need to use for dual dna setups, if it gets here before I start wiring these I could do one for you. As for dual connectors are you just using cartos? I've never had a double barrel device so im not sure how far apart to make the connectors.

I would either be using dual attys or perhaps skinniny tanks or maybe something like an era or fatty dripper.

How far apart would you need the connectors? There's a few Silver Bullets out there that have double barrel setups, it looks like those connectors are about 1/2" center to center. I don't think you can fit anything bigger than attys on that.

Here's what I got accomplished today. Four boxes roughed out. These will all be dual 18650's.

Padauk, CheChen, Red Gum, and Bubinga

Just measured my MV double barrel cart adapter and came up with 15/32 @ Center to center

Thanks buzz. I was only 1/32 off with my guess.

 

[Col. Gaunt]

Well a dbl silver bullet and the double barrel car adapter would not be far enough away from each other. I am horrible reading a ruler but I think what I measured on another double barrel of mine was 5/8th's from center post to center post.

Review on my MCM box.

Mancave Mods (MCM) Variable Watt Box Mod Review - YouTube

Hey Zee!!
Thanks for the great review, the MCM really deserves it! I'll put your video on the French forum soon

And I totally agree with all that you said. The performance, beauty, the switch and the IMR battery issue.
Still, one thing I don't agree with: the dimensions. Of course, if you only had tube mods, the MCM may seem huge. But for a wooden 18650 mod with electronics, it's not "that" big at all

One more thing. I've heard protected batteries were not recommended with DNA. Did you use them and how did the variable wattage react ? Any advice from other users are welcome

Pics of mine coming soon!

 

[zeesmoker]

Thanks for the kind words.

I haven't had issues with using a protected battery, the only issue is that despite it saying 3100 mAH it lasts much less than the IMR 2000 mAH.

Other than that they work fine for me.

The Panasonics are the best though.

 

[zeesmoker]

And yes, the MCM is a fantastic device. I'm constantly amazed by it!

Zee, thank you so much for doing a video review. You just made my day.

As for the battery issue, I only use the panasonic cgr18650's so I had no idea the AW's were a loose fit. Thanks for pointing that out.

Awesome review, thank you!

Lintux, if you do a video can you post a link here? Even if it is in french

Also as for batteries, Evolv recommends only to use high drain / imr batteries. Batteries have to be capable of at least a 5amp discharge. As far as i know, protected batteries are generally around the 3amp range for discharge. If the protection circuit fails in one of those it could be bad news. AW imr's have a 5amp discharge rate where the panasonic cgr18650ch batteries have a 10amp discharge rate. I recommend the panasonics.
