^Fixed it for ya
Nice pics Ma'am!
Lousy pics, but thank you anyway!
I will need to take a new family pic when my Apollo arrives. That's destined for little red, who might have to grow up

Haha oh sheesh... I didn't even see that! It was driving me crazy too, I was looking up sizes of the provari and the WAE2 all night on the internet
. Whered you get the 18500 tube for the WAE2?

Nope they are fine, you just need a bit of practice (and patience). Here's another with my phone (Nokia N9).
Patience? what's that? as she refreshes tracking on shipment.. again... again...
Yah, that was a grab mods, toss on counter, snap and load picture.
The family picture will get more care for details like background and lighting. It won't be close to your Nokia & eye for the shot, but...
<- iPhone too. There is hope
BTW - did I get part right - was that a WAE II? the markings didn't look like a WEA..

That one's a WAE (v1). Those came in two sizes ~ M (18500) or L (18650). I grabbed the M model.
Here's my two together, the WAE (v1) as well as the WAE-II (v2):
One is 18500 while the other is 18650.
2 on the left are both #1 daily mods, 2 on the right are there #2 backups ... everything else is just fluff
that tall one there is just begging for a mark bugs atty though, then the team will be complete

today I was able to do the almost impossible, just snagged another wand for the 18650 I'm really not much of a genny guy but these wands are an exception and the whole thing being titanium makes these things are light as a feather, there so light that every time I pick them up I think theres no battery in it until I press the button and it lights up
mark, question on the wand.. the one I have has no oring at the air flow ring and it just spins around loose, I see a very tiny channel that looks like it may have had an oring but it must be super thin because anything I have that looks really thin winds up being way too fat for this. on my wand I've wrapped a few wraps of sewing thread in the channel and now the ring is staying put but I'm just wondering if there was supposed to be a tiny oring there, and if so what size oring I should be looking for?

There is not any oring!
You have to put a .3mm piece of wire in that groove and be aware that is not easy think to pacce it inside between the ring and the topcap

cool, thanks... I was thinking of that and even tried making a ring from kanthal but I was trying 28 ga and it wouldn't go, I'll try thinner wire, looks like maybe 29 or 30 ga should do, thanks
The only thing holding me back from buying the WAEII is that there is no reverse battery protection on the DNA 30 board. If MB ever releases a mod with a DNA 40 chip, I will be first on line. I just don't trust my clumsy self
It is surprising how conscious one becomes of placing the battery in correctly. I messed up once on a Kick few years back. I just don't hear of folks messing up. Every now and then. Have yet to do it on any iteration of the DNA.The only thing holding me back from buying the WAEII is that there is no reverse battery protection on the DNA 30 board.

(Sedge runs to knock on wood )
^Exactly. The subconscious automatically takes control ~ it ensures that the battery gets inserted the correct way, every time
I've never done it on a mech or a Provari. The time I did it on the Kicked mod was because it was this very wierd hand-carved wood mod that really didn't have an intuitive top and bottom. It was a very unique device.
I find myself, right before my WAE makes contact, backing off the bottom cap and double checking the battery. I do this everything without even thinking about it. It's almost like muscle memory now lol.
I had been waiting for a WAEIII w/a DNA 40 chip, too. Then, overcome by temptation, I broke down last month and bought a WAEII (tip o' the hat to jkusmc for the post that nudged me over the edge). I can't tell you how glad I am that I did...I'm wondering why I waited so long (it sat in the cart for almost 2 months)!The only thing holding me back from buying the WAEII is that there is no reverse battery protection on the DNA 30 board.

It's an amazing mod...hell, it only weighs 8 grams more than the PV Ti Mini (in 18650 mode) and it's stainless steel! It is truly perfection in steel and worth every penny of its cost (a Ti Wizard is next up). My advice FWIW, don't wait...if you want it and can afford it, just get it. Triple check the battery orientation each time you change it but it inserts intuitively with the positive end up (not like the VS rDNA 30) so there's little to go wrong.
You'll be so glad you did and you'll have somewhere to park the Gem when it's released next year.

Ahh! Your killing me!! Haha, I honestly want it so bad but I must wait. I am normally not a clutz when it comes to battery orientation, however I fear my girlfriend will fry the board somehow. I can't risk it
Ok. Another nudge. My wife is a klutz with electonics. However, she really wanted a WAE2 after using mine. She's had one for several months. Changes her own battery. No problem.Ahh! Your killing me!!
