..But for the Milo...I'm thinking 3600mah of battery would last even *mamu* a full waking day... :p

Funny you :laugh:

Max with its 3600mAh lasts me 2-3 days, but Max is not pocket friendly.

You won't be able to fit 3 lipos in Milo. As it is, with 2 lipos plus the DNA board plus the display flipped on top of that, there's barely any unch room left.

I would think you'd be able to get through a 12 hour shift with 2400mAh though, unless you're constantly vaping and at high watts. Just make sure Milo is fully charged before heading off to work.

Well, crud. I was thinking (and hoping) that the slightly shorter batteries for the mini/stealth might leave enough room to tuck the board/display between the batts and the top of the case, instead of between the batts and the faceplate.

Charging it at night shouldn't be a problem, and I'm only running about 8-8.5W (calculated). Does the DNA board isolate the charger circuit so that you can vape while charging?

I use the same batts for Milo as I do for Stealthy and there is no room to tuck the board between the batts and the top of the case.

Retird uses the E-fly 1200mAh lipo batts and they have a shorter length, so you may be able to tuck the board between the batts and the top of the case if using them. But the 1200mAh E-fly batts are hard to come by as it seems everyone is always out of stock.

Although I hear that people do vape while charging, I don't and I don't recommend it. I've had a few issues now with the charging board when vaping while charging, but more importantly vaping while charging interferes with the way lipos should be safely charged. When I charge lipos they are far far away from my face.

I didn't know where to post this question so I'm posting here. Sorry if it's the wrong thread.

I have a Mamu Milo that I love dearly. Up until know the display has been working fine. Now it is showing 1.6 ohms no matter what resistance carto I put on it. It still regulates the voltage/wattage to the correct ohms but the display isn't working. Is this fixable?

Might try running the battery down to where the display doesn't lite up any more and then recharge....some say their ohm reading stays on zero and it fixes theirs....after you get the low battery warning just let it set until the display won't lite any more or ya can push the fire button till battery shuts off and no display...

Cool, thanks. I'll try that. Unfortunately it has a full charge right now so it might be awhile before I can try this. The battery in this thing just keeps on going. :)

Set at 15.1watts my dual 1200 mah in my milo only last like 5hrs at my pace. Takes forever to charge too.

Do I have a bad battery?


Sent from Texas

I get 5-6 hours vaping with one 1200mAh lipo running at 15 watts, and around 2x that or more with dual 1200mAh lipos in parallel. So it sounds like one of your batts is not holding a charge.

Like retird said, you need to vape the charge off. Once the charge is vaped off, press the fire button intermittently and the display will go blank faster. Then recharge the batt.

For future reference when you need me, if you have Milo directly from me, you should already have my email address. If you bought Milo off the classys, ask the seller for my email address.

Thanks Mamu. I bought it off the classys and the seller no longer has your email address. If you would prefer that I ask you question personally could you PM me your email address?

Hello folks!

I've found two of Mamu's PDF's describing how to build these little gems (Milo and Dena). The instructions are just beautiful, I don't think I've come across a build description as complete and easy to understand as these. Are there any more Step-by-steps before I choose one and run with it?

And should I fail miserably, where do I go to buy one of Mamu's?

Here is the Stealth, but no PDF. There is a picture of a bunch of different Mamu mods.

I am ordering parts now to build one myself, but I'm not copying any of Mamu's designs. I'm using the step by step for how to wire everything, but I am using a different box, different buttons, and other cosmetic items.
