Had to lookup Kreskin thank you very much
. Well I am in the software industry and I know whether we want it or not, technology will be in everything we do in our lives. When I saw the GI review I was like "meh, what took them so long". But all that said I'm more interested to see the creativity aspects of technology and not the technical part. One might argue about fitting all those components in the dna which is maybe something technically challenging and a breakthrough (0 electronics knowledge here) but for me it is just a converter that does not bring any ingenuity to the table.Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Don't hold your breath, I haven't found my pot of gold yet to be able to pursue my ideas.
In fact I am going back and forth between 2 screens right now, typing my thoughts here while estimating prints on the other due to work load.

Good, I don't have to stop and try to find a root kit buried in ring 0 then.
Your second one in Run 5 is still better than my first in Run 7.
And your round 7 still trumps my round 8

So, I bore the drip dish with a 5/8" bit (this is to accommodate common o-ring ODs). As Supe said, it's 1mm deep. The crown of the 510 connector is just shy (~0.2mm) of the top of the mod; conjoinaditively, the head of the 510+ post is thicker/taller than is typical (again ~0.2mm). The base of any atty is meant to clear the top of the mod by a gnat's whisker (+/-) after moderate compression of the silicone insulator/bushing/gasket under the 510+post head. Atties vary by ~0.5mm in the distance from atty base to tip of 510+pin. Goody bags include o-rings (to place in the drip dish and compress with the atty base) 1mm, 1.5mm, 1/16" and 2mm. Short story, all atty widths will work on the mod. The "gap" is trying to stay tiny.

I think mechanical mods are my favourites because i don't think anything government does will safeguard vaping and when they do impose their ill-considered rules, i shall be confident in my ability to stick up two fingers and carry on just the same.
I met another vaper at the garage today when i took my car for a brake service. Naturally i pulled the Dibi to bits to his amazement (he was running a Zmax and iclear30). Since i gave him a bottle of my juice, i drove off with a bill of $9.99.
Smooth Trunky!

I got a bubinga grand in the wood sale. Bubinga is a mighty sexy piece of wood. It shimmers and changes in the light like koa.
I would love a small bluetooth locator for my mods, I'm forever laying them down in random places at home (maybe I have too many? ...ummm...yeah, no). Something like this, but even smaller...

Diameter: 0.98 Inches x Thickness 0.16 Inches (24mm x 4mm).
Weight: 0.15 ounces (4.5 grams).
That's not much bigger than the CR2016 watch battery, I'm impressed.
And your round 7 still trumps my round 8

Yeah, but you got one already, right? I'm still awaiting #1.

Pdib, I've always wondered, exactly how thick is a gnats whisker? Oh, and you got some mighty interesting gnats there, iffin they gots whiskers. LOL
I used the term in the hopes that nobody actually knows the dimensions of a gnat's whisker . . . .. leaves me a little fudge room, no?
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) . . . . .

I just love it when you and Mundy and "friends here" talk that dirty tech talk. Talkin' bout' cow's udders and gnat's whiskers and DNAs and blue teeth and such.
Uuuuhhhmmmm. Fudge! I like fudge! BTW, I just measured a gnat whisker, and it's 1.1 nanoflobs thick. Lol!
What's this ticket talk, I just got a sure I'll get in 7......Peter, your mods, are looking really smoooove. Sorry it's all too much to read through if it was explained somewhere
Turbo, your tiger is outrageous!! My wife thought so too, then asked how much. I told her, she just roller her eyes and meh...lol Bimini, your mod is my fav.
I had a really hard time deciding which to ask for. I changed my mind every time pdib posted a pic. Then I saw a video he posted showing how it shimmers & decided that the Santos Mahogany would be my first foray into BF.
I think this is supertrunker's Santos Dibi caught on tape.
I'd like to point out that have not asked our host in this thread to change a thing about the mods he's making. But maybe that's because I have no problem calculating tips in my head and don't misplace my mods.

Maybe I just need a Rossum app...
Even if we had an 18650 with a usable capacity of 5000 mAh that produced exactly the same voltage regardless of its state-of-charge, that still wouldn't get us the flexibility that a regulated mod with variable output allows. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a more mellow vape, other times I'm in the mood for more oomph. With a mech, one has change atties or coils, or keep different batteries in various states of charge to get this.
Understood. I don't even own one yet, but see your design as elegant and beautiful; that why I want one despite (not because) it's a mech. And just so I'm entirely clear, if I ever attempt add any regulation to the one I hope to eventually own, I would never mess with the basic design; the only way I would attempt it would be to do it all in an extended base, which shouldn't affect how it feels in the hand.
I'm curious, have you measured voltage at the atty, under load to confirm that you're really vaping at the power you think you're vaping at? Not that long ago, I let a guy who was a firm believer that only mechs could supply his power needs screw his atty onto one of my DNA 20s. He thought he was vaping at right around 20 watts on his mech, so he immediately turned the power on the DNA up to the full 20 watts and the result... He scorched his wick. This was obviously an unscientific test (no actual measurements were taken) but it's also clear that his mech wasn't really putting the voltage he thought it was into his atty.
