Very nice. That is a 3-D printed case? Carbon fiber plates? Small soldering iron melt mark?
That looks like an excellent use of a DNA75. You did an excellent job.

Yeah, I wasn't paying attention while soldering the negative side of the 510 and set the iron on the side of the box.... I guess I'm lucky it was Delrin as it do too much damage I can't sand out. Sucks but it adds character!
The box is from Box Mod's store - he makes wood and delrin/carbon fiber boxes for a very resonible price.

Super nice looking mod. Impressive.First DNA75 done! Very happy with getting all the features in such a small enclosure.

I also really like this box!
I will soon replace the plastic buttons on the stainless steel buttons and will look even cooler!

This is my second Proto Vape, ERM, DNA75 mod. This time I used black buttons in the aluminum body and a modified battery sled to improve power transfer from the battery. The positive contact is 1/8" brass soldered to a 1/16" brass plate. The positive lead is soldered to the brass plate at a bottom corner. The negative contact is a 1/16" brass disk with a braided wire through the center of the spring. That braided wire is soldered to the negative lead for connection to the board. There are no exposed contact points on the sled using this method, full contct is made to both the positive and negative terminals, and "weak battery" warnings only happen when the battery is, indeed, getting weak.
This one is for the Mrs., trying to convert her to TC. That's an FEV V3 atty sitting on top, all stainless construction, 6ml capacity, single coil and gets filled simply by pouring liquid directly into the tank from a bottle.

Re: ZOP Power 11.1V 1500mAh 20C Li-Polymer Battery
Thanks for the tip on this battery Mike!.
Received a Vape Cige VTbox200 with a dud Lion Power "1800mah" battery.
Ordered one of these from Gearbest (Had a bunch of points to use) and
managed to install/squeeze it in somehow (The +/- cables attached to the
T Connector are a little longer than the original). Before charging, all cells
were are 382/382/382 and 420/420/420 after charging.
Was on sale for a while at $8.xx.

Have all of the machining done on my red, white and blue M4 DNA200 mod. Just need to sand and polish the body and trim rings and then it will be ready for final assembly. Might just have it done in time for a 4th of July vape! Few other completed and in-progress bodies in the background.

Really like the design of the face, more then like, I love it! Nice work sir!
I know whenever I see a post by Jonnie that I'm going to drool and try to justify a CNC vertical mill, yet again.
Exactly! Every time I see a Jonnie post I spend the next two hours searching CNC machines online and devising ways in my head to sell the idea on the Mrs. One can dream.

If I found a cnc mill for $200 it wouldn't do me any good. I have no experience at that kind of thing. I love most of Jonnie stuff, I get so damn jealous (yeah I said it!)
I hate to admit this, I love unique things... Or not run of the mill (off the shelf) stuff... But alas, champagne taste, SODA BUDGET (I can't even afford the damn beer!)
I appreciate everyone's kind words. It has been a real challenge and taken over 15 months to get to this point on the M4. There has been more scrap produced in my garage than mods. Finally starting to turn the corner now but it wasn't easy!
Thought about writing a whole long essay about my modding journey. Instead I'll just say that I have been very fortunate to be able to pursue the hobby to this level.

Did you read my post? I hate you!
Just kidding of course.... I would love to be able to create stuff like that, but alas whatever talent I have (none, btw), lay elsewhere.
You've definitely evolved (so to speak) in design. Though the first ones you did were still nice. The faceplate alone has improved significantly.
Jonnie really great job you're doing. I still have difficult with a soldering iron
. I salute your hard work.

Just remember to pick up the soldering iron by the cool or cord end and you'll be fine.
Hahaha... you'll only pick it up wrong, once. I slid it in between my fingers once while I was looking at something else. Smelled burnt flesh first and then intense pain.Just remember to pick up the soldering iron by the cool or cord end and you'll be fine.
I picked up a 200 watt iron by the wrong end in shop class, got distracted by shenanigans. Had a hard time putting it down, it stuck like glue!
Finished up the milling on the main body and covers for this one today. It's kind of funky ... did a herringbone or tire tread type pattern on the front and rear covers. It will have brass trim rings and buttons. Front cover and probably the 510 connector will be cerakoted blue.
