I don’t know... I was just dealing with a mouse, driven indoors by the relentless rain. This is a thing that makes me miss Dan more than anything else, because I’m not great at trapping and I go full Barney Fife when I actually catch one and have to take it out of the trap. I did consider getting a cat - I’d have to consult with Georgia of course, but I think she’d like a cat if it were ‘her’ cat. If I could train it to dispose of the carcasses properly, I’d be in, but not knowing where I’d find them is probably more than my nerves can bear.
I'm no guru and I don't think I'd say what Charlie wrote.
I've been using using Lipo's ever since the LV efusion Duo was released (dna 200) and it's still in use. It is starting to swell a bit and the voltage drop is starting to get a little bigger, but that's close to 4+ years. That swelling to me is the biggest PITA if you can't readily see the battery
We are in the country and get them periodically. Especially when the fields are cut etc....
Easiest thing for me is the sticky traps. If you put them in the right places you can catch alot. Although there is no release when using those.
I'm so sad. My smiley face mod has passed. It started ramping up the power all by itself...out of control until it hits max. Scary actually
RIP...you were a a good mod. I'll miss you in my hand

The dumbest thing I did in school was not take typing because “I will never need that!” How was I to know computers would happen?
I took typing back around Grade 10. Funniest weirdest class ever. For starters it was the first class of the day and the teacher always showed up with a coffee cup full of booze. Back around 1977. We learned on manual typewriters and were told we could look at the keyboard if we wanted

My husband had been a trapper all his life, so he took it in stride. Wooden Victor traps with peanut butter worked fine for him. But I can’t set them without hurting myself.
so I’ve tried all I can find. The sticky traps have the highest success rate, but they’re brutal. Mice live for hours, screaming in pain. That would be my last resort. I tried a live trap and after two weeks, I caught a mouse and a half - one had gotten all the way in, and the second got caught in the door. It was still alive when I checked the trap, and I took it to a field to release them but as soon as I opened the door, the mouse seized and died. I threw that trap away.
I got an electric trap, which is super quick and as humane as possible considering the purpose, but I haven’t had any takers.
So I’m using plastic snap TomCats. They can’t be adjusted, and don’t work well for skinny winter mice, but they seem to snap in the summer when they’re well-fed.
It probably sounds silly, but you folks know me, killing any animal is traumatic for me.
Happy to see you got it. It sure looks good.Ok here are some first impressions:
The build quality and external finish (anodised aluminium) are excellent. The door fits snugly and has zero gaps or movement. In fact, when I cover the air intake with my thumb and take a puff, there is no air sneaking around the outside at all. Pretty much a vacuum.

The main flaw on mine is on the inside - a manufacturing mark of some sort on the aluminium around the edges of the screen. Maybe it has something to do with the anodising process - it doesn't look like regular machining marks. It doesn't bother me personally but some people might be annoyed by it. Slipped through in the first-run QC rush maybe.
You can see it in this photo (the lighter parts of the "swirl" are little ridges catching the light. There are no scratched or silver bits):

The two main benefits of this design over the BB are the super smooth af (maybe the honeycomb holes?)
and the fact that the chipset is on the same horizontal plane as the boro.
Leaking from RBA's onto the positive pin of BBs and down into the electronics has caused many a problem - and yes even DNA's can blow from this.
With the Delro this can't happen. Any leaks that got through the pos pin would end up in the battery cavity. I guess this could cause issues but much less likely to do damage than juice on a SEVO or DNA board.
I'm not a hundred percent convinced of SXK's claim of 2200mAh battery life but need to do more testing to have a better idea.
Bottom line is I love it so far! As soon as the planets align I'll be buying a DNA version.
If anyone's interested in size comparisons with the Abyss, Billet Box and Boxx, let me know and I'll post (more) photos.
Same.
I’m going to be busy, my littlest granddaughter is coming to stay for a couple days. She’s a good kid but I’m exhausted just thinking about it lol. I still need to run around and put some stuff away. My house is not childproof at all.
Thanks for piping in here Pat. I know next to nothing about lipo batteries but I am suspicious that the longevity won't justify the purchase.I'm no guru and I don't think I'd say what Charlie wrote.

Are you saying here that the lipo's hold enough charge to be comparable to a single 18650 and that they don't discharge too rapidly??
Thanks in advance
Well most of them apart from certain entrails and the head....yuk!!
Sometimes they leave the cecum behind, but mostly they clean their plates.
Similar or the same as any round cell, there are realistic or exaggerated claims and specs. All of mine have been Turnigy and 1 fullymax. I never did a direct comparison on Wh's between 3@1300 mAh (3900 total), to my 2@LG HG2, or the Sony's VTC4, 5, or 6's, but to me they were comparable. Less sag with the Turnigy. With my 4S lipo, there was close to no sag at all at ~60 watts. Sag - that's the drop at the beginning of a puff, that recovers quickly mid puff.
Yes I understand sag and thought that lipo's were notorious for it....so time will tell whether the clone Delro has a good lipo fitted
