Printed DNA 40 Bottom Feeder Mod

[Vince159]

I hope I didn't put the Kybosh on this thread. I seem to remember a long period of silence after the last time I asked about these buttons. Maybe I'm a bit paranoid. I really would like to get some if they're available out there somewhere, but if not, no biggy.

ever thought about making a 26650 version of your GDNA George?

I'm thinking it would only be a little wider. If you could fit in a larger bottle (fatter) even better.

 

[KurrptSenate]

that's awesome.

I don't think the width increase would really affect much. having a bigger juice bottle would definitely benefit me on the weekends

Yes...in the works. I need to design it from the ground up...so its taking longer than I expected (as usual). I also may use one of those softer 10ml bottles, but the dropper tip isnt as friendly for juice change outs as the 6ml we currently use. If anyone has a good 10ml bottle source...post up!

YEAH~!

I can't wait for a 26650 GDNA

 

[SkinyFatMan]

lol...I think we all just had a long weekend

US Plastics has some really good 10ml bottles for real cheap. They are where I get all my 6ml up to 8oz bottles. Good quality and cheap prices.

Just watch out if you buy too many because the shipping gets a bit pricey.

I've kinda lost interest in 26650 mods, BUT a 26650 GDNA would be a must have

I wrongly posted this over in the gDNA 30 version thread.
I have a 18650 Mech Peko, and now I have a titanium blue gDNA 40 heading my way

Looks like they are primarily focused on fast turn-around?

 

[Vince159]

I bet it's gonna bring the cost WAY down, Oh Yeah

 

[Vince159]

OH. that's a shame. Everyone wants to make a million $$

My dna 40 was delivered yesterday. Now i just need a black delrin top cap and drip tip and she'll be rockin in style.

 

[SeanMoore]

Yes...in the works.

I knew there was a reason I got two DNA40 chips in the co-op. Good news, gdeal!

I'm not going to be able to make even my first for awhile though. Too much on my plate to start soldering.

Nice pool!

 

[Vince159]

I really like the black with the silver colored ring, what material/finish is that ring?

 

[Vince159]

In case anyone's interested in making a great BF atty, I just got one going that's pretty great, and cost about 25 bucks. At angelcigs, I bought a samuri and a bambino. The samuri is not an easy mod for bf, but the bambino is. Then I got a set of 3 2.5mm bf pins from fat daddy, which was about 8 bucks after shipping, roughly. I modded the bambino deck, and I'm using the samuri top cap; this required changing to a single o ring, which made a good seal. I also had to grind down the pin quite a bit, but it's worth it. The airflow on the samuri is very good, and the bambino deck works quite well for dual and single coils. I have dual 30 gauge Ni200, 10 wraps each around 2.4mm. Good Vapin

The ring is Stainless Steel with a Polished Nickel Finish.

Looks good, I think I'll get one.

Just as a heads up. The metal rings will need a lot of work to make them fit correctly. The process Shapeway's uses is not as accurate as the printed nylon. I have done a couple of them and they are a PITA. Looks great, but be prepared.....

Yeah, like have a Dremel tool and a fair amount of patience.

Or, if cost is no object, order your ring in polished brass or polished silver. The tolerances on the investment cast process used for those metals seems to much better that the strange sintering process they use for their steels.

OK, thanks. what a shame.

I have done some investment casting with them, and it is accurate. However, their plating process is super thin, so normal use will erode it quickly. If you get brass, then just plan on polishing it yourself and skip the plating.
