Yep what harry said 20 watts is high enough and the dna board kicks a provari's ... any day :)

Oh and Hi Harry :)

Actually 20 watts is high, but is not "high enough" for me, lets do the math.
my coils are usually .6 ohms thats 29.4 watts with a fully charged battery, that means i cant vape as i usually vape with the ZNA
the closer i can go is .88 ohms lets say .9 ohms thats 19.6 watts with a fully charged battery.
provari is 800 hz whats the dna ?

Good things
im going to be able to ohm check my coils in my zenesis without a multimeter.
battery check and new non revealed features.
i allways can go back to my old mech setup just adding the switch and taking out the new parts.

so yes, im going to wait and no provari for me.

what other features im missing from the dna20 chip ?

thank you guys, you allways make my day :)

I just caught up, and burned thru a full tank of rat juices The marshal in my Ti standard while doing so....I want to apologize for not making the time Time to get here more often, been running the nextel from TC with ribbon wire from paradise in all my devices and have been totally satisfied in my vaping and truth be told hanging out here gets me spending money quickly on vaping wants that i should've been saving for real life needs (e.g. lap dances, heated toilet seats, and rent). And now I see I'm gonna be taking on a lil more debt to buy my first ever regulated device.. Hoping i can get here much more often, but about to start a move to Conn. (Not related to being a lap dance short on rent ;) ) should be moved in fully and have internet service there by Sunday... Good to see you guys are doing well, congrats kman.. I didn't want to do a huge multi quote with my 2 month catchup, but had to re hash a few posts

Better late than never?

I suck...I know. I've let too many silly things keep me from making the time and effort to hang out here more often. I think I've figured out a big part of the problem though. I'm far too exhausted, far too often. And now I'm almost certain as to why. I have never, ever, drank enough water throughout the day. A while back, I installed a "Water" app on my phone. It had me drinking 11 x 10oz glasses of water a day. Other than ...... 15 times a day, I had a lot more energy. When I went to Richmond, I deleted the app cuz the constant reminders to drink water were becoming annoying. As one would expect, I reverted to old habits and drinking very little water again. Add to that the dehydrating effects of vaping, and you have one tired fat ... before you. I think it's time to put that damn app back on the phone.

Bottom line.....I miss you guys and this thread. Don't ever believe otherwise :)
I think I've been running close to dehydrated for last six months, gonna get the water app, thx

Just saved myself 300 bucks on this in a black friday deal online woop View attachment 277917
Don't forget to buy a zenesis lanyard attachment

Thanks for posting this video. Zen was talking about safety, but he never defined it. What currents does he consider safe?

So he would consider my 0.9 ohm coil unsafe? I thought that was why we use protected IMR batteries. I thought they were supposed to deal with high currents safely? I assume you meant to say lower than 1.5 ohm?

I've had a few long talks with Zen about safety and pushing batts, and getting his designs insured... I will attempt to quote as close to word for word as I can: "my insurance underwritter has a job where he tries to make things blow up, he says it is unsafe to push a batt past 33% of what it is rated for".
In essence just cause a batt can do something doesn't mean it is safe to do so regularly...if you flirt with limits, and one thing goes wrong, BOOM.....I mean I can dive standing 3 feet above 2 feet of water and not hit the bottom of the pool, that doesn't mean it is safe <--that part is my $.02


This guy is a riot. Some may have already seen this; but for those who have not, ENJOY!

Dear Sir and/or Madam,
I have received a request for seventy-five of my dollars for putting my trash out for collection without securing it inside a bear-proof container. Due to a series of events the night before, I forgot to put my trash out and had to run it out the next morning after hearing the collection truck approach.
As regulations govern only actions within certain defined limits and thereby justify all similar actions that lie outside those limits, I request that my offence is changed from 'unsecured trash' to 'secured trash barring the possibility of bears formulating a strategy in which to take advantage of the few minutes between deposit and collection.'
Regards, David.

Hello Mr. Thorne
Section 9 of the MPOA Agreement which you would have signed clearly states that trash must be secured.
The reason we have these rules is so that bears and other large animals are not attracted to the area. This is for everyones safety. All bear sightings should be reported immediately to the MPOA. A ladys cat was almost bitten by a bear just a few weeks ago near the mini golf course.

Dear Pat,
Due to the abundant supply of cats in the area, I'm surprised bears bother with the trash at all. As I have run over at least four cats this week and one of those did not put up much of a chase, it may be suggested that elderly residents and their cats pose more of an attraction for bears than unsecured trash. For the safety of all residents, section 9 of the MPOA Agreement should probably be amended to state that all cats, and their elderly owners, be kept in bear-proof containers.
While out walking this evening, I witnessed several cats having some kind of cat meeting on the sidewalk ahead of me. Possibly discussing the local bear problem. After reading that a bear recently ate a ladies cat in the area and hearing a twig snap in the shadows behind me, I decided to take the shortest route home by cutting through the Massanutten mini-golf facilities. Managing to scale the three metre fence via fear and a trash can, I slipped, caught my back pants pocket on one of the pointy metal bars, and hung there for several minutes before managing to wriggle out of them - dropping to safety and to the right of hole 7. Fashioning temporary legwear by removing my jumper and placing my legs in the sleeves, figuring they would look like Hammer pants to people driving by, I left the premises by climbing the papier-mâché boulders near hole 16, leaping onto the ticket hut roof and dropping down the other side to safety. If my shoes had not been soaked and slippery from the pond to the right of hole 7, I am pretty sure I would have made it on the first attempt. While not pointing any blame, I quite liked those pants as they fit really well and cost me around seventy-five dollars.
Also, as per your instructions to report bear sightings immediately, I have attached a photograph taken outside my premises a few minutes ago. I apologise for the quality but was fearful of getting too close due to the fact bears constrict and consume their prey whole, taking several days to fully digest. As I have a short attention span and would prefer a quick death such as removing my helmet in space, I request you send assistance immediately.
Regards, David.

I checked with Carol at the mini golf hut and no pants were found on the fence. I doubt any of that really happened. That looks like a dog with a blanket on it. I'm not going to waste anyones time sending an officer out to check that.

Dear Pat,
If Carol from the mini-golf hut has time to check the perimeter for pants, why not send her? While issuing me a seventy-five dollar fine by justifying it is for the safety of others, you seem pretty quick to dismiss mine. As people rely on your protection from bears and your position consists entirely of not waiving fines issued to ensure the compliance of regulations that protect people from bears, you should probably send out a memo or something stating that we are on our own in an emergency situation. On the back of the memo, you could include instructions on making a pointy stick to protect ourselves with.
I own a gun but am unsure if a bear, shot with a Daisy .177 calibre BB air rifle purchased from Wal-Mart for $39.75, would be wounded or just ...... off. While testing the rifle last week, my offspring was definitely the latter. I have heard that the best way to protect yourself during a bear attack is to roll into a tight ball and cover your face but I am pretty sure a flame-thrower or a special suit that metal spikes spring out of when you press a button would be more effective. I have also heard that music soothes the savage beast but the last time I sang Whitney Houston's 'The Greatest Love of All' to my offspring, it had the opposite effect despite what I considered to be an excellent reproduction of her tonal range.
Although wary, after reading recently that a bear ate a lady and her cat in the area, I decided to risk leaving the premises in order to drive to your office and pay the fine. Unfortunately, possibly due to an unsecured Snickers bar on the dashboard, the bear is now in my vehicle and I am unable to do so. Please send assistance immediately as I have also run out of cigarettes and need to drive to the shop. If you send Carol, please ask her to stop on the way and grab me a pack. While you may not class this as an emergency or possible danger to others, you haven't seen me after two hours without nicotine.
Regards, David.

I wont be sending an officer because your not in any danger at all. You have obviously just put a blanket on a dog while it is sitting in your car and taken a photo. If you want to express your opinion on trash collection rules you are welcome to attend the next MPOA community meeting which is held each month. Not understanding the importance of bear safety doesnt mean you dont have to follow the rules. I'm not even sure what your point is.

Dear Pat,
My point is, barring the possibility of strategy formulating bears, stating my actions constitute a punishable breach of regulations structured to protect the community only enables you to be wrong with authority, not right.
Contrary to your statement, I do understand the importance of bear safety. Several years ago, I went camping with a few associates and thought it would be amusing to jump out of bushes while wearing a bear suit. Renting the only bear costume available, which was a koala, I altered it as best I could to make it look frightening by taping down the fluffy ears, adding sharp cardboard teeth and constructing two downward slanting eyebrows with electrical tape. While sitting around the campfire, I excused myself, donned the concealed costume and leapt out yelling 'Rawr'. Moments later, I realised the screaming and falling back off chairs was not due to wearing a bear costume but the fact I was standing in the fire while wearing a bear costume made of polyester. After a two-hour drive to the nearest hospital, I underwent three weeks of skin grafting on my left leg and six months hearing about how I ruined the camping trip. To this day, when anyone asks about the scars, I simply state "It involved a camping trip and a bear, I don't like to talk about it" which is true because I don't. While I was in the hospital, my mother went to my apartment to get some clothes for me and found my porn collection so it is a touchy subject.
Also, while I was able to persuade the bear to exit my vehicle by pretending to be an old lady looking for her cat, it is now inside my premises. Although not immediately evident from the attached photograph, the bear is sitting between myself and the television remote control, located on the cushion to its left. As this effectively cuts off my ability to change channels and The View just started, this should be classed as an emergency situation. If I wanted to watch a group of old women carry on, I would attend an MPOA community meeting.
Regards, David.

Fine. I will waive the amount this time if you agree to make sure all your trash is secure in future.

Dear Pat,
Regardless of whether you waive the fine or not, and despite conditional terms added to reassert authority, I will continue to secure trash correctly. Not because it is a rule, but because it is a logical rule to follow. Despite my continuing doubt as to the ability of bears to plan and execute manoeuvres requiring SWAT team precision, I will also do so regardless of the time frame between deposit and collection. Not because it is a logical rule to follow, but because it is a rule.
How about you agree to waive the fine and I promise not to email you the remaining eighty six photos of my dog dressed as a bear.

Hello Zenfidels!

I'm looking for a kick screw for my sidewinder. I've been looking for months, still can't find one.

If anyone has a spare, I would love to buy it from you.

Hey, if you can't find one on interwebs, I would think a 20 min Home Depot trip with the kick and SW would have u running right

I actually did that a couple of months ago. Home Depot, Lowes...

They only had SS. I can't for the life of me get a brass one! I've even contacted fastenal, and they told me I have to buy a whole box!

SS will work better for that purpose than brass, putting brass screw in aluminum bridge will cause the metals to react with eachother causing corrosion you don't want...the conductivity difference will be minimal and is negated by the kick's regulation anyway, plus galvanic corrosion + electronics in close contact is no bueno for life of kick.... Just my $.02 but I think research would point you toward the SS unless you can contact jason to get a gold plated one, gold would be best of all worlds


Add on: i guess constant (at least 2x week)cleaning would keep the brass clean and not weld itself to the bridge but that would be more work than I'd want to do, as it's not the most accessible spot

Thanks! I'm going to give it another go. I'll report my results. I know I have the set screws somewhere. Thanks!
