Well getting somewhere on my wood mod. its getting closer .....used my dremel as a lathe to make the buttons out of wood, but still have plenty to go...

the micro sockets on the 1 amp charger pop off very easy. Recommend re enforcing them.



Now my problem is getting this one out. Someone welded it in....

First thing I did was lose one screw....

Damn I knew I forgot something

At least I know you got your tools

Hit the charger with a heat gun and it will pop right off

Yep, thanks. And for some reason the screwdriver set starts a T5 instead of T3. We ordered # 633 instead of #636. Good thing you sent me a spare..

No problem, I can never have too many tools...

Walked into several vape stores on my trip. Depressed me how little the store owners, employees and customers knew about vaping. At one store, a customer tried to impress me with his vamo and a protank, said that was what I should get. When I pulled out the Tibs with a Taifun GT and fogged the store with two exhales, he could not believe it. Most of the stores are really just juice outlets. I saw a lot of young people that have never smoked coming in to buy. vaping is the in thing now. Here comes regulation...

I did get stopped a lot on the street asking what the Tibs was.

I resemble that remark.....

you mean to say they didn't remember me in my old stomping grounds?

So that's why I got funny looks not to mention the remarks when I said it was a "Tibs".

Tibs lipo is repaired with new 1 amp re enforced charger and only one screw in the back cover... Looking good charging now.

So was it as easy as I said it would be?

Not so easy with the wife's hair dryer. Then I cut the wires flush from the board so that made the neg too short. My first soldering stuck out the back of the board so it stuck out and the back would not slide in. Had to solder the wires to the side. Finally figured it all out and got it right....

 

[shynsly]

Ya dont really realize how small the DNA board is till ya try to whittle wood to accommodate it...
Thanks to a jonniemac clamp kit and charger holder and a bap cradle i think i can get this to work. But my first set of wood buttons arent quite up to snuff, so back to the drawing board.

Thanks jonnie & bap for your great work!!!

 

[BJ43]

All the big guns, loaded and ready....

Question before I start to build.

My concern is the fire button has a slight oval shape and not sure if this is a manufacturer issue. The two smaller buttons fit the holes just fine. Hopefully the pics below will help.

I am getting the screws from MMC and fat daddy 510 this week to complete most everything. Still need epoxy and small stuff I can get locally. Am I missing anything?

Battery contacts, fuses and wire all i see missing!

 

[bapgood]

The metal parts are a crap shoot, from the pics it looks the side you will see looks fine. Just file the button/case to fit and you should be good.

And what Proetus said....contacts and wire.
