Compared to others I think I vape a lot. Wow. I mean I don't see myself without a reo in my hand. I smoke in the office at home commuting etc...
I was a 1 pack a day.

It's highly inadvisable to do that. Chances are good your DNA will smell burnt and never be quite the same afterward. Don't ask me how I know this.
Get in the habit of explicitly asking yourself: "Is this battery in correctly?" before putting the "upper" on. An upside-down battery cannot hurt anything until you put the upper on, which completes the circuit.
Belt and suspenders. The DNA has short circuit protection on its output, but it can't prevent your battery from going into thermal runaway if something inside your mod shorts the battery.
Precise, concise,detail is immaculate, best I've seen. Mucho Kudos to gdeal and all!
Nope. I did over 12 ml of 18 mg yesterday.
Was 5 PAD of strong Danish RYO for 5 years, and 5 PAD of Camel Lights or DuMaurier for the previous 15.
Throw in a few pipes every evening... yeah I can crank on nic - strong like bull.
I try to keep it down to 6-ish-ml though 'cause I'm cheap.
Happened to me from 1000 - 1630 today until I got back in the car.
There is nowhere near the urgency for me to vape like there was to smoke.
I wondered the same thing so I chanced it and put it in backwards on purpose for about 15 seconds then put in correctly and it worked. I did it again when I made this video. Rossum later reported that he inadvertently did it and fried his.
Disclaimer: I apparently got lucky, don't try this.

Which is why I said "Chances are good" rather than making a definitive statement.
No, that's not correct. I did have any atty installed; it had a ~1.0 ohm coil on it. It started sizzling pretty much immediately, which tipped me off that there was something wrong.
I second that.
BTW, when I put the battery in the right way afterward, it also powered up. But upon trying to fire it, the display read "Too Hot". So I let it cool for a while. It then worked normally for a little while, before failing for real. The real failure mode: It wouldn't fire at above ~3.1 V no matter what the power was set to.

Unfortunately, I have to third this
The big chip on the board gets very hot, don't ask me how I know.
Ok, I'll tell you. I got hasty in confirming all was well after soldering all wiring and then mounting the board in a Jonniemac mod, and plopped the battery in wrong. I'd already confirmed it worked prior with just the battery holder connected. Anyhow, after I put the battery in backwards, I felt the holder warming, so I yanked the wire off the contact (solder was soft). No smoke let out of anything, but the chip was a goner in just those few seconds. I touched around the DNA a bit, and that chip was hot as fire. It became my "improve soldering skills" chip before hitting the garbage can.
I'm sure if you were worried about reversing polarity you could fit a mosfet in the enclosure to protect against that
I haven't built a single unit developed by Gdeal to say it's possible either way, but based on the size of the mosfet, if you were so inclined to include one in your build, I would bet you could make it fit. Would most likely involve some modifying of the internals+outside
If anyone is interested in Reverse protection, here is a link to Mamu's post.

This is the Mosfet that she refers to: http://www.vishay.com/docs/64829/si4477dy.pdf
And here is a link to how she did it for a Raptor - Same set up...different Mosfet. (What a genius...)
Tinkering with the Naos Raptor - 20A, 120W dc/dc converter...
Its fairly small, so its possible to build it in.
