PDIB's Making MODs!

[super_X_drifter]

Is a Hana even a feeder?

No? Well then even if it automatically levitated itself to the mouth, was hands free and had a battery that never needed recharging it is still nothing more than a glorified power source rending it useless in my book.

If it doesn't provide fresh squozen juice on demand us feeder type lose interest pretty quick.

By "shiny" do you mean appearance, or "tech"? dna mods are currently cutting edge, state-of-the art in "mod" technology, and the DNA-30 has gotten us to the point where they can out-perform mechanicals with coils as low as 0.5 ohms. Outperform? Yep, they produce a totally consistent vape no matter the battery's state-of-charge, and they can use substantially more of the battery's rated capacity. Plus, most have on-board charging, which means you can top 'em off from any micro-USB cable, e.g. in your car or at your desk, meaning you never have to carry a spare battery.

I own a Hana (and a couple of other DNA mods). In terms of functionality, they rock. But they're fungible. One Hana is just like the next, whereas each dibi is unique. OK, Hanas come in a few different colors, but that just ain't the same thing. No two dibis will ever be quite alike.

I do wish my Hana was the shaped more like a dibi. The dibi's shape is natural and elegant, with little "excess" material and the least circumference needed to contain what it holds. The Hana's large box with feels excessively bulky in my hand. I'll bet the dibi won't.

All that said, guess what my fantasy mod is? A dibi with a DNA 30 in the base. I'm sure some of you will consider me a heretic for having such impure thoughts. Too bad.

I'm working on grabbing a few DNA 20 boards, or 30's if I can find em. I have a few bottom feeders I wanna convert to a little larger housing so I can try and make them DNA 20 b/f. Lol

You mean you won't drink milk you haven't squeezed from an udder yourself?

Tank systems (just like regulated power sources) have come a long way recently. But even if BF systems are better, why not combine the best of both worlds?

Rossum... I think you need to speak to Turbocad.
He'll, he probably COULD Get a DNA 30 board in a Dibi

While a DNA 30 from dibi would be cool and I'd but one. The big issue I would see is he'd be stuck with a warranty and customer service issues when things went wrong with the electronics. This adds a whole nother level complexity to the business model. How much burden to add to the cost of goods sold to cover warranty spare parts, time, shipping etc. Plus all of this takes away from time to make your primary product.

 

[MasterofNone]

Agreed. DNA 30 is a self service at your own risk option ha

Mark at Burl source added some new large blocks to his site.

Here's what he says about them.

"I think the Bubinga would be best. The bog oak has a coarse grain that might split when he is drilling near the edge.
The bubinga has interlocking grain making the wood less prone to splitting."

If one were accustomed to drinking milk squeezed fresh from the udder, I imagine they would indeed, not be inclined to choose the 2% at the big chain.

Since we're modifying our mods, could you add a tip calculator to mine? Much appreciated Mr Dibs.

Or the other way around. When I was young I decided to pop one of those little red peppers that grew on one of Grandma's little pepper bushes. I ran to her fridge and grabbed the milk jug to pour a glass of milk to take the burning away. Discovered that Grandma had fresh whole milk straight from the cow in that jug which I had never had. Double yuk!

The OliveR is highly moddable. That's just another one of the really cool things about it.

I finally dropped my Canary 007 on....... A CEMENT FLOOR, the other day....... it came apart when it hit....... I picked up the pieces, blew out the magnets, put it back together, and vaped. It actually worked a little better, like it refreshed the contacts or something.

Also, about the magnets - last week I thought my 007 might have killed my watch. Then I got to thinking about the last time I changed the batteries in my watch. My watch worked perfectly after a trip to the jewelers for a fresh battery.

Also, at work I have a PC setup as a test bench for testing hard drives. The cover on the side is permanently removed and I store my 007 right next to the system hard drive inside the case between vape breaks. And I’m talking inside the PC right next to the IDE platter hard drive. I've been doing that since the middle of January and the PC still boots and runs fine. I can swap and image that particular hard drive in 10 minutes if I had to so it’s been a great test. Don’t try this at home.

I don’t envy pdib trying to get good picks before shipping. I’m one more person who can testify that they really do look better in person. They feel comfortable and they’re smooth as butter. My 007 is darkening with age and it’s looking better all the time. I tried but couldn’t get that to show up in a pick.

I still get the question whoa what’s that from people who don’t even vape. It didn’t take me long to decide I needed another one. I thought I got back in line pretty quick and ended up in run #5. Back then I was saying better get in quick while the gettin’s good.

I love my Canary 007

Good points. Two things come to mind. One is that battery chemistry and tech are also leaping and bounding recently. A 30A battery that lasts a full day in the sweet range is basically here (or looming, depending on the nit pick). For all practical purposes, a single battery swap at the same convenient time each day needs no improvement in my thinking. Also, my design bias leans strong enough to the tactile pleasures ("right feel" in the hand) that it stops me from compromising/growing the housing to include juice bottle and electronics and onboard charging and tip calculator*. So I picked the most important factors (to my liking). That's not to say that things aren't in the offing. I know of, or am involved in, or am involved in the planning of a variety of electronics-included or dual battery versions; thanks to the genius of some of our friends here.

and . . . . . . no . . . .. the DNA30 still doesn't hit my sweet spot (29-35 watts) . . . . .

So it is probably all here in this thread somewhere but it appears that the drip well is larger on the OliveR than on a Grand.
Just what size atty will fit into it?

Your second one in Run 5 is still better than my first in Run 7.

I'm not buying any electronic anything anymore unless it comes out of Mundy's hands. Not because I'm trying to be friends with the popular guy in high school, but I have seen where he is going in his thinking and the things he can do. Serious work and not some generic chips that my grandfather could have made. Are we really surprised with the capabilities of Dna 's and GI's that we forgot where we are now in the technology world i.e. Google Apple and the likes. Just sayin'.

Actually I think that is the next step in high tech mod technology.
Not necessarily the finder, but Bluetooth.
Put the brains in an app that Bluetooth's with the mod for settings.
Module in the mod can be a dumb brick that just follows orders until given a new set of them.
Reduces the footprint of the mod electronics considerably.
Once we dial in a combination just how many times do we change it to need on board brains?
Also, update would be as simple as downloading the app update.
The thing could give you an alert if there was a problem or remind you it is almost time to change or charge the battery etc.
Heck, it could even have a find your phone option.

Gee, if I was just independently wealthy or retired.............

There really is no drip well. Well maybe a 1mm deep one You can out any size atty on it you please I think. All you might need to do use the thick oring to clear it

So is the "crown" of the 510 socket about even with the top of the mod?

Glad you said it. I had a post written up and decided I didn't want to put anything out there we had discussed without your saying it first.
The sweet ergonomics are just hard to keep with electronics not to mention the potential failure problems vs simple mechanical.
Just wish I had more time, but I bet there are others that you have been conversating with also.
