PDIB's Making MODs!

[turbocad6]

fitting the dna in the base is not a problem, you can do it either facing down or facing forward, either way you will have to fold the screen over the board and honestly the difference in space from one orientation to the other won't even be that big, the shark I think has the board on one side and the screen is folded 90* to face the bottom cap but once you fold the whole thing over onto itself the difference is small. in this case I would suggest doing it with the screen facing forward not down because forward will result in a stronger base. with it facing down the 4 corners of the board get dangerously close to the outer edges and would make 4 weak spots, it would be fine for a metal base but if you're doing a wood base then facing forward may be better I took a shot both ways for you

the biggest problem putting this in the dibi has nothing to do with fitting it into the base or even dealing with the buttons, that's the easy part, more difficult will be passing extra wires top to bottom in the dibi and then the hardest part of all will be doing all this and maintaining the quick release of the head necessary for juice and battery access. that's really the whole challenge, dealing with the removable head and having it make the fire button and atty contacts and battery contact all at the same time and reliably too, everything else is easy

honestly for the amount of work it'll take to put it in the dibi I may just instead build another whole mod that's more accommodating to the dna. I do love a good challenge and I don't doubt I can do it here, but for all the work it'll take I may just add a little more work and build another whole mod, then instead of doing all the work to still just have one mod when I'm done I'd have 2 the dibi is pretty good as a mech really and I do appreciate the dibi design that pete has done here, wouldn't be the worse thing to keep it as a mech too... still haven't made a definite decision tbh

If the ribbon were flexible

It is. There's no problem having the display at 90° to the main board, and I'm pretty confident it it's flexible enough to allow the display to sit at 180° to the board as well, in other words to have the board and the display stacked, like a sandwich, with some later of insulation being the "meat" in between.

Squeeeeeee!!!!!

Sorry. Go back to your business : )

That's an entirely appropriate reaction to new-born dibis!

rossum, not sure if you seen my last post as your posted at the same time and your post has started a new page, might not notice so just a heads up, I posted the pictures of the dna fit on the page before this one

Well, this may be a really really dumb question, but how can the DNA30 improve the Dibi? It regulates the vape over time and levels the quality drop off right? But isn't the curve super shallow for good batteries anyway?

Well, if heat is an issue, any type of foam insulation would have a low melting point, and molten plastic stuck to the screen or board would be hard to get off, so I figure easier to glue a thin strip around the edges of the screen rather than just use a foam sandwich. If heat's NOT an issue... well, back to potting...

well maybe it's much better with really high amp batteries but for me I find my mechs work good for an hour, maybe 2 at most, then the vape drops off enough that I can feel it's not the same so I switch batteries... with the dna it uses up the whole battery and I can literally go 2-3X the amount of time with no drop-off. that and with a dna theres none of the cleaning contacts and maintenance issues and no misfiring, it vapes the same from fresh battery all the way to the battery being dead and I mean dead, not just dropped off a bit.

I've got decent orbtronics batteries but I haven't tried any of the really high drain ones, maybe that will change my perspective a bit

Well... I've got 2 Samsung INR 20a now, and 4 LP HE2's on the way... can tell you if they last a long time... but... I don't have a dibi yet.

But these guys should be able to tell you the comparative time difference between the batteries you have and the new ones. The DNA30 doesn't blink or warn you before draining your battery completely? That's actually not a good thing, is it??

Oh, as for the fishtank, I turned one of my atomizers into an anemone tank, here:

 

[turbocad6]

the dna has a battery gauge on it so you can see battery level and won't fire when the battery gets too low but it allows the battery to go much lower, but still within safe range of the battery

I scuba dive as much as I can and that there has got to be the funkiest anemones on an acid trip I've ever seen! LOL

Looks more like carved out pupils to me....shudder shudder


Awesome GiGi!!!!..... you sure have the EYE for it...... pun intended

I LOVE THIS!!! Wowza!!

 

[ValHeli]

yup, another ++++1 to that. Now how about making us a GLASS MOD????

Indeed, somehow I missed the post with this picture in it, which answers the "will it fit" question nicely. Thank you!

Ooh with jagged edges! And can you had the infections free of charge?
Lol I'm just playing val

Dang... you are a smart one. Actually, what they are are little glass eyes I made when I went through a short period obsessing about making dragons, because I saw a glass buddy's and I wanted to make one too. Those are the murrini eyes I made for small dragons... then, I made 1 dragon, said... yuck that wasn't fun (mostly because I got the proportions slightly off and my completed dragons would have been 9" long and too big to fit in my kiln), and left the rest of the eyes in a small tin.

A few years later, I was sorting my murrini tins and ran across the eyes and decided to flatten them to put in my vape tank because they looked sort of like anenomes (see the little tendril/tentacles). That's one heck of a guess, because they don't really look like normal eyes, closer to very strange flowers (they didn't look like very good eyes on the dragon either, but heck, was my first try and no one told me what dragon eyes should look like - for example, I later realized that dragon eyes should be like cat eyes, with a slit pupil, not a round, dragon eyes shouldn't be blue, and should have been more scaley and less irisy). Course, you scuba and you know exactly what anemones look like, but to say eyes instead of flowers is truly odd!!! Maybe you see the world as strangely as I do!!

After this, I decided to try to make glass eyes (not for real, for fun)... here's my favorite fantasy eyeball marble:

Which led to making way better marbles, which have been my most recent obsession... perfecting marbles.

That looks AWESOME...

You don't remember my story about a month back with stainless atomizer, vaccume stuck glass tubing and 2000 degree glass stuck to battery?? LOL! I haven't even THOUGHT about it since... although, someone else actually completed what I wanted to do a few weeks ago, I saw it on fb... glass atomizer cap, stuck to the metal cup/ with the coil/wick visible through it.

I have actually done very little glass work since I started my vaping obsession. I can't work on glass when I'm not inspired, and I have just not been inspired lately... been having too much fun playing with vaping stuff.

Oh I love marbles! A handmade one was found by my friend at the bottom of a discarded box of clothes and she gave it to me. I'm fascinated by glass!
