That seems like a planI can't fault Mark at all... He's been great. I'll either end up with a new bushing and screw, A "new top cap" with my Gem purchase being tossed in <Rephrased by Qorax>
Sooner or later I'll get my wae2 back to 100%

Yeah, I need to get you to talk to Mark for me... You obviously have more "pull" with him than me. I only hope I'm able to join the gem owners club tooThat seems like a plan
Step 1: create a forked blade tool to remove the outer retaining rings
Step 2: with the retaining rings removed, document lead contention positions (makes is easier when re-installing later)
Step 3: de-solder solid grounding pin from body
Step 4: remove dna 30 board from mounting rails
Step 5: prep DNA40 board for swap (removed circuit mounting rails)
Step 6: Transfer leads onto DNA40 board (make note of positioning from Step 1
Step 7: put your delrin rails into a 3-axis mill and resurface accordingly (spend approximately 6 business day lunch breaks getting it just right to fit while @brawas increasingly grows anxious to have it back
Step 8: reassemble and enjoy
Yeah, not exactly a straight forward guide I know
To be entirely honest, mark78, I agree I can't really recommend people to do this swap. If in the future if you do decide to produce DNA40 WEAII's I would recomend making the internal board sled a 3-piece design (so that top screen mount, and lower board mount can be interested first. Then a 3rd peice can be shimmed inbetween locking them in-place.
Again, tonns of respect to mark78 for producing such a high quality mod. I was truly impressed working on this unit.
Best regards
Hey Engineer, any chance you can help me do this to my setup once I purchase it, or better yet do it for me??

Drop me a PM when you have your mod. I'll stick around to answer any questions I can regarding doing the DNA40 swap.

Excellent! My WAE is currently being held hostage by customs
I want to have it in my possession before I purchase the new board for the swap!
Customs is holding a brass 510 pin mark sent me for my wae2 hostage since April 4th!Excellent! My WAE is currently being held hostage by customs
I use VTC4 flat tops, but if the VTC4s have been pushed and pulled in and put of certain mods that have tight battery compartments, the tops might be pushed in a little and they won't fit properly. Mark mentioned this before.

Thank you for the reply! I had a feeling that this might be the issue! Is there any way to safely pull the top back out?
I've got no idea, sorry

Thank you anyway for your help! I had ordered 4 more VTC 4's a few days ago and they are expected to arrive tomorrow. I was just upset I spent money on those batteries and couldn't use them!
You'll be good to go when the freshies arrive, enjoy

I've used vtc5 and vtc4 with no issue at all. The button top variety leaves a (in my opinion) sizeable gap on the bottom cap. Flat tops fit like a glove
Also the Samsung 25r seem to be excellent alternatives. Been using those on my flask for a week+ and I easily get 2 days, going thru 20ml's

I'm using LG HE2's in mine...had 1 (of 4) that was a tad short and wouldn't make continuous contact so I exchanged it for a longer one. Problem solved.

Kerbz,
On the electronic tube you have 2 threaded rings, one at the upper side and one facing the battery.
Probably your mod was a little bit screwed to tight and maybe the contact pin was pushed back a little.
Try using longer battery then VTC, something with a nipple or if you have the skills can do this:
- unscrew abit the bottom ring and screw the top ring and you will end up lowering the batt contact of the mod.
A picture with your batt contact will let us know what you have to do and it will be easy for us to find a solution!
I want to know if the brass contact thst is making connection with the battery is still rises above the bottom ring or not.
