Slight update. Got home from work. BAM. Vapemail. Makes up for my ....ty day at work.

Hello beautiful
uqemu9ys.jpg


Mcm 141 found a home.

First impressions (after a few minutes of tinkering and vaping of course)...
Craftsmanship - 9.5 out of 10
I want to give it the full 10 but a perfect score is rare. The few things that are 'wrong', aren't bad, I would have just liked it a bit different (this is far beyond what I could do so not knocking).
Quality - 10 out of 10
You can tell a lit of love has been put into this mod.
Real world use - 10 out of 10. I love this thing and I've only used it a few times and have had it for less than 20 minutes.

If I could go back, would I buy it again? Hell yeah. I can already tell this will be my baby. Can't wait to get a printed one when the funds allow.

@everyone without a mcm, if you have the money, buy one. You won't regret it

@everyone with one, I love seeing reviews, seeing what others think and it helps sell good product or improve bad product

@matt, thank you very much. I'm proud to be the owner of this DNA 30 mcm 141. I look forward to getting at least one more when money allows

Im not sure if these are rebranded knock-offs or not.. but Fasttech is selling pairs of Sony VTC4's for $12. Its a great price if they are genuine.

$11.87 Sony US18650VTC4 3.6V 2100mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery (2-Piece) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I already have 4 of those (in my possession) ordered from inside Japan though. I just ordered these: Samsung INR18650-20R 3.6V 2000mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries (2-Pack)

They are rated at 20A but I am not a cloud chaser so they fit my needs. I ordered 4 pairs, so hopefully they work out.
If not...they will be put in rotation with my NCR18650PD batts for regulated use.

It must be noted that they outperform the Sony's @ and above 10A.

So mire playing around. I seem to be getting the resetting issue with multiple (tried 3) Sony vtc4s. Odd thing is, as I decrease wattage, the time it takes before a restart is increased. Is this a known issue?

Like SavageClouds said, make sure your batts are fully charged. I definitely tested these issues with this batch of mods and all were working as they should. Resets do happen under normal use depending on your wattage setting and battery level. What batteries are you using?

Using those Samsungs with DNA20 mods since 4 months or so: they work very well, but recently two of the four I own started showing some degradation symptoms...

They last a bit less than usual, and when fully charged those two meter a slightly lower voltage than they did when new, like 4.20V instead of the usual 4.23V I used to get out of the XTAR II. (BTW I have two XTARs, so it's not the charger)

Strangely enough, the other two still behave as new - no symptoms so far. Bought them all at once from the same vendor, they'd appear to be genuine Samsungs. Go figure...

It's like their internal resistance increases quite rapidly with the charge cycles, and considering I only charge a pair every other day each of them went thru maybe 50-60 recharge cycles so far...

Other than that, they're a good deal for the price.

I'm an XTAR man myself. I use a VP1 and WP6II.

Do you use those batteries in matched pairs?

I actually run a small side business making juice for 3 local shops..

It's a max vg line. Savage Clouds E-Liquid

Super DOPE!! I think you and Matt should collaborate and do a Mod/Juice deal...You'd get more people "tasting your juice"(ignore how that sounds). That would possibly get more customers for both of you. Not that Matt needs more customers, but it can't hurt.

I do not have a huge selection of flavors.. I take a lot of time to sit down and perfect each blend. I am not or will never be a 50+ flavor guy.
My end goal is to have 10-15 high quality flavors using the best ingredients I can find designed specifically for high vg users ( although I do tweak the recipe a little for genesis style atty users upon request)

With that being said..

I have


vanilla cake custard (Cutlass)

Chilled cranberry with cream cheese (Valhalla)

Lemon, licorice menthol (cool bees)<- sounds odd but my number 2 seller

Cappuccino , Irish cream, spearmint
(Mint flip )

Lemon meringue cake pop ( Golden Sun)

Apple Pie Fritters (Eve's nectar)

Orange cinnamon roll (OG Lux)

I have a few exclusive flavors I produce for local vendors only ( apple martini, a tri-blend tobacco, raspberry cheesecake)
