It's funny, when I use the miter saw, do "construction" or work on the car I clean everything up, tools and work area. For some reason the workbench doesn't get the same treatment.

Just got back from ECC and was able to snap a few pics of the VaporShark DNA200. Here it is next to my BilletBox for size. Really stoked for this one.
User replaceable battery, looks like the 900mah.

Well, Sculpteo closed the ticket to email, and hasn't responded to me. I've sent them the blue print showing the buttons, a render showing the buttons, etc., but they've gone silent for a week. Opened another ticket, we'll see . . .
Honestly, their site intimidates me! 
I think so much is lost in Translation.

Question about balance charger wiring. Thanks to @Steamer861 I got a BRD box and genace 1300mah battery.
On the balance port it's 1 red with 3 black. I metered it and it's actually 1 positive and 3 ground. The other battery in the picture is just the opposite, 1 black ground and 3 red positive. Metered it out and it's correct. So these 2 batteries have opposite wired balance ports.
If I'm understanding the dna200 board, it wants 1 ground and 3 positives.... The genace (which was supposed to go in this box) is wired exactly opposite.
What do I do?

Glad to see one...I don't have one and I only think there are three prints out there. Curious to now how the bottle side works as for getting it on and off to change it out.
Yea...it is big, but with the chip, battery and bottle side by side...
I am goofing off with one that drops the atomizer down, but I have held off until I see if the opening and accessing will work.
I don't think its really too big! In fact, with the way the prints come out, a little more room for that size battery would be great. In my hand, wider (thicker) would not be a problem, which would also give way for more options for battery choice. Yes its tight, so tight it will need a ribbon to get the battery out! I put it in and prayed while I pulled on the wirring to get it back out!
The bottle side is a breeze to get off, the board side,, not so much. The bottle side flexes very well for removal, the board side is much, less flexible, making the battery compartment less flexible also, hence the perceived need for ribbon for removal, (it binds at the top and bottom of the battery). But, I'll make it a keeper.
All in all,,,, Thanks You @BlueridgeDog for putting this design out there for us to use!
Thanks. The bottle side is made to come off easy, but not util you want it to. The chip side should be REALLY hard to get off.
And most mods seem small to me, I don't clap at events for fear of leaving the ground.

Yep, bottle side is easy,, board side is aNot impossible, but it is a challenge.
I never envisioned someone popping it on and off...sort of a one time thing. Yea...I would have tested it too, but once wired and working it is in to stay (there should be no juice in that side requiring maintenance).
I have been working on going without hardware for the enclosure...TruckerMSA and I have been kicking this one back and forth for months and I am now at the fifth printing:
Suggestion?
Reverse the catch mechanism on the door. The board side will not flex to allow that unit to come apart.
I think you would want the door (cover) to flex inward for removal.

That one is a snap lock...but the male/female part could be swapped. The cover has the male portion as it is too thin for the female snap side, but it could be thickened. Most of the recent printing, both ABS and commercial has been getting the radius of the snap closer down to the smallest effective size 3mm R is amazing and strong, but too big, 1mm R is not effective when printed in ABS, but is close in laser. In general this one has been thinned to make it an inexpensive print. Once the bugs are finally gone, it will be thinned some more with relief holes in the sled portion.
Like the bottle door on the squonk, for removal you squeeze the door to disconnect it,,, in-ward.
This one looks like it will be a "pry apart" type of unit. OR,, I'm all confused and should just keep quiet and watch the really smart people here do miracles.

If you can't get an answer Here. Maybe try asking in the Evolv forum?
I know very little about Lipo's
The Gens have a good reputation I know that
You would hope that there was some kind of uniformity within the industry about the wiring on the balance connector.
Guess it's going to be prudent to do a physical check any time you replace a battery.
ETA,,, Reading over on the early adopters forum,, there is conformity with the wiring.
@turbocad6 ,, for the explanation!
Like I said,, I should sit quietly and watch the smarter people do the magic!

The wiring is right, just the color of the wires is wrong. The plug only fits one way and they're wired correctly. If there's only one red wire, the one farthest away is the ground. If there's only one black wire, it's the ground.Question about balance charger wiring. Thanks to @Steamer861 I got a BRD box and genace 1300mah battery.

You mean they just refuse to address your inquires? Are you kidding me? Wow, that would really tick me off and I wouldn't let that go without making a lot of noise and spreading the word. I'd never do business with them again if that's the way they treat customers. If they have a facebook page I go to it and post a message about it, I'd take screen shots of the ignored ticket they close and save any emails or other info, turn them to pics, black out or blur your personal info and post them on FB, twitter and any other social media they use. Crappy customer service is one thing that drives me pushes my buttons. The jobs I had where I had to engage the public, I treated even angry, unreasonable customers with respect. I always looked at it that I would not allow an angry customer change my demeanor, 99% of the time they were angry because in their eyes they had been wronged and it was my responsibility to make it right.
