my humble start

[opuscroakus]

Which Mamu screen cradle did you get? Also, how are you planning on mounting the dna board itself? I found a nice template for the 1590B boards that gives the center-line for all sides and the center spot on all sides. They also have a large selection of colors.Hopefully these links work..

Nice find on that template.......

Probably epoxy with lexan or acrylic in front of the screen and I wish I had the templet a while ago but its already done....... BTW got a kayfun 3.1 today loving it can't wait for it to go on the dna

How did you find that template on the site, looking for one for the 1590a if they have it?

Edit, I just put an in in where the b was in the link you provided and it worked, thanks for sharing this.

I actually think I used that same exact enclosure for this mod. Everything inside is held together with a combination of jb weld, epoxy putty, and perf board. I did have to make some adjustment after epoxy was fully cured, and was able to pry the epoxy from the aluminum cleanly without issues.

Is that one of those bottom feeders I have been hearing about....


So far box is primed haven't picked a color. Running two 2100mah 18650s everything is ready to go except the 510 and the dna . scrapped the idea of the chi for now and went with a press fit with madvapes.its the chi is ugh frustrating soldering to it and finding a tap and die. I went simple for now and can mod it more later

yeah, it's bottom feed. since it's aluminum, i hoped you use an etching primer, otherwise your paint may chip or flake off easily later. press it connectors work fine once epoxied, but will need a countersunk hole drilled into the case if you want everything to sit flush--- or you can drill slightly oversized to where the lip of the connector will fit through your hole, then use an rda or something to hold it flush with your box while the epoxy dries. looking forward to seeing your finished results.

 

[Redlig]

Excuse my ignorance but how does the bottom feeding work? Yeah I did use self etching primer for auto body also painted it today a lighter blue color that dries satin so it has a similar finish to my kayfun and Russian. About the connector I figured that from the pics it has a slight lip so I'll probably counter sink it so my attys sit flush on the box. The kayun is a lot taller than i expected so I may prefer the lower profile over the chi. The 3.1 is a beast compared to my drippers and aga t3 even in the vamo in 18650 its like 2/3 the legenth of it use it for self defense now haha.....a kayfun on the vamo looks sad....can't wait to pair my Russian coming in with the DNA should be a sweet setup...BTW just learned the back story on the Russian quite interisting how it came about from the kayfun

 

[Redlig]

Talk about self defense vaping

 

[Katanakaji]

if you had another one, you could make nunchuks.

bottom feeding is basically like dripping, except that instead when you need more juice, you have a bottle built in to the mod which is plumbed directly into the bottom of the rda- you just give it a squeeze and it squirts some juice into the rda/wick.

This concept interests me...lol...love my RDA but gotta figure out how to make it work with welding gloves on lol thanks for the info

Just switch to TIG welding only so that you can ditch the leathers and wear thin gloves all the time.

 

[Redlig]

Updates! Painted bam! Don't hate the Color looks way better in person...its satin so matches the Kay fun good so do the buttons

And the screen holder


And all together



And as far as welding goes soon I'll start tig then high freq tig....I'll make my own custom box he he with nice dragon scale edges muhahaha can't wait. I love stick welding but man its hot

 

[Redlig]

Well pretty ...... off got the board only wired up the batter and nothing happened can't get it to work at all uhh......someone any suggestions is it common for a faulty board or am I doing something wrong

 

[bapgood]

No ideas unless you hooked the battery up backwards. I have never had a faulty board.

edit - any pics?

 

[Redlig]

I didn't double checked...no pics at work and even if I did it has built in protection I hear

 

[Redlig]

Is there a secret way of turning it on lol

 

[mikepetro]

I didn't double checked...no pics at work and even if I did it has built in protection I hear

Built in over current protection, but not reverse polarity protection.

Edit: Assuming you hooked it up the same way as in your photo above. You would have needed 4 fuses for reverse polarity protection.

 

[Redlig]

Hmm I know i hooked it up right ugh this sucks

 

[Redlig]

In my frustration A provari is looking nice right about now....
