SX-350 Mod - Pi

[meanckz]

if you had stated these exact points as a critique in your original post, instead of dissing someone's unique (if not original) work, it would have gotten you more plus points with less uproar

This build is innovation at its finest. Taking something and making it, in some people's opinion, better. I like the look of the ZNA, I haven't held one, but it looks like it would be a joy to hold in the hand, the shape and button placement just seems to work. I'm guessing that the OP felt the same way, but didn't like aspects of its operation. So, he took the basic design and built it how he wanted it.

If this wasn't done in the vaping community, we'd all still be walking around sucking on flashlights!

I appreciate Zens (Mikes) work, but the Cyborg was the first dna hybrid device I was aware of (Mech/regulated in one).

 

[Nanooks]

So I guess I did some assuming. Is this a hybrid? Also you mentioned 2 batteries, does this hold 2?

This box is easily the best looking machined box mod I have seen. The results are simply amazing. I love it!!!

I've cleaned up the mess. I do believe some should reacquaint themselves with the forum posting rules.

There still a quote or two airing the dirty laundry.

Got it.

 

[something_vague]

All I have to say is that we are all inspired in some way or fashion in everything we do, say, and make. I personally love this mod the OP created and shows some true craftsmanship. I would be extremely proud to say I made this Mod.

IF you really wanna know the historics of that design look no further than our own Bapgood. Zen made sure to have a chat with Bap about it since Bap was the origin of this design. I do know Pbusardo asked Bap to give Zen a call in public on youtube after the release of Zna and us all noticing the similarity of design.. Have no idea what happened after that but Bap was ok with it..


Very nice mod OP its awesome.. That fire button is huge awesome..

Well that design goes back to the fistpack actually. But the use of a body tube and collar setup ... not a feature of anything other than the ZNA.

 

[Nanooks]

So not only is this community supposed to act like big tobacco, but now like the gun industry? By definition everyone is ripping China off. They restarted the e-cig industry 10 years ago. All that has happened since are variations of the same base design. Coil, wick, battery, liquid. Where should these lawsuits really be going? Don't forget the big picture any device that gets you off analogs is good. If we sit and toss lawsuits around while the FDA sets up shop, we cut our own throat. Look at the devices released in the last year. 90% would not exist if the FDA regulations were in effect now.

the fistpack was made from a plastic portable device charger that was basically a molded box mod. This is quite distant from that.

I actually had forgotten about the ZNA until it was brought up here. Even if there are a lot of design similarities with this mod, a lot of craftsmanship and attention to detail went into making this mod for which one should be proud to be able to do.

True

It's not that illogical to assume this shape would be reprinted unseen by many, it makes sense, the electronics involved and the used nature.
You could ask a lot of new modders about who is Zen and his products they wouldn't have a clue who.. A year ago everyone who vaped and forumed knew about Zen, who again in controversy stole the genesis design from Raidy. Again design not illogical to assume it would be created in mind to have two common builds due to nature of what its operations of doing.. Sad part Raidy stopped sharing his designs

Here's the origin post..

What burns me is the insistence on how the Zen products were vastly improved over raidy's design. I don't see it. For myself, I have completely adopted raidy's original recommendations and once done right it really works a charm. Somehow I feel dated in the world of ramie/hemp and kayfuns, but it just works great for me. And I truly miss raidy's sharing and wish him all the best.

asdaq his last posted design, some sorta pressure switching mod was awesome sounding.. It depends on how much vapor from how hard you sucked. It did not matter 50 watt build or 5 watts max switch on mod, lightly toke and light vapor, toke heavily and huge vapor... That design sounds absolutely awesome especially with all these 100w+ mods about. I haven't visited the post in a while if he posted the how to... He definitely is missed in e-cig modding world, but understood, his designs are revolutionary; the cream de la creme... As good as that origin genesis is, cannot imagine the atomizer he has devised as of lately..


BTW I seem to have mastered this book

hijack -- over sorry OP great mod, loves it..

 

[asdaq]

Heh, it is our there in the world, but we aren't likely to see it. I agree about the derailment here, back on topic: milling only or a lathe too- inquiring minds want to know.

I am also curious if a lathe was used on this design? Again I have to say that the resemblance to the ZNA is of no issue to me personally. I find this mod to be pure class and would love to own one.

Raidy....Ty. I remember the event but not the name. Each new mod/device that comes out is like watching evolution in process. A little from here and a little from there to make something new.

 

[dragomoon]

The body was milled and the tube, 510 connector, pins, screws, trigger, batt cap and delrins were all lathed.

BTW, just for clarity, I have not posted pics or discussed this anywhere else other than here.

The pics and information floating out there on Vapor Joe's and FB were posted by a buddy that has a vape shop. We met up at wingstop that day I was done with it. He got a little excited and jumped the gun a bit.
