I got the decal from a seller on amazon.I like it but it does make it a little slick.I picked up a silicone sleeve that I really like on eBay.I grabbed one for the wismec as well and am pleased with both.
I got some good communication from Michael Crespo at Vapor Shark. He informed me the LiPo is indeed removable and chargeable outside the device with up to 2 amp balance charging. That to me is a very smart move. I am not at all upset about this little bug because of how they have handled this so far. Joe told me they were great people to deal with. So far he was right.
Iâm guess that when i get ready to build my DNA 200s, the DNA 200 forum will be a solid place to get the assistance i will needâŚparts list, reliable sources, etcâŚkinda exciting!

It seems to me there is a shortage of decent buttons to use in the DNA 200âs.
did you look at the link i sent of that one companies ebay store site?
Yeah. But if I were going to build my own I think I would use a Sardine can or something crazy. Block of wood. You can mount the stuff in anything. Think outside the âBox Modâ. I found some other hardware late last night.
Another thought it there is a Swiss machine shop right next door to us. They could whip up some buttons cooler than anything the other guys are using.

yeah, i want to do something different than just a standard Hammond box myself. i saw a guys mod, an Altoid box.
but my first might just be a Hammond box to get the feel. THEN, iâll do something cool/different.
my Queen wants to do her DNA 200 build in a little coffinâŚgonna HAVE to make that happen!
I think the reason my Vapor Shark stopped charging is one of the battery or USB wires probably came loose on the board. I didnât pull it all the way out to see. But knowing now that the battery is removable without voiding the warranty I wish I had. I did pull it out far enough to see that they have those wires in there very tight. Not sure if they planned that, or if was inherent to the design and they just decided to go with it.

So what was the problem with the tugboat dna? Because today mine was working great and usual, come home watch some TV go to take a vape and nothing? Screen doesnât come on and mod doesnât fire? Like wtf have absolutely no clue what could have went wrong. And since the warranty only 90 days and has most likely passed Iâm kind of worried bc after all I did spend 200 on this paperweight!
I have learned that if you have the pre-heat set to 200 watts it can pop the fuse on the board. That was what happened to mine. Your best bet is to contact Evolve and let them know you have a problem. They will take care of you.
Iâve built about 8 mods, mostly DNA40âs, 7 of which are still in the rotation. I started with a hammond with dual batteries with a DNA30. I would definately recommend building a hammond box to start with. I would not reccommend using any kind of glue to glue the board down. You may want to remove that board at some future dateâŚI did.
As far as enclosures go, only your imagination is the limit. There are companies that provide 3-D printing services so if you can use CAD software and design your own enclosure they can print it for you. 5 of the mods I have were printed on a 3-D printer (someone elses design, 'cause Iâm CAD illiterate). There are also a number of different board holders or screen bezels that can be printed to âclass upâ a hammond box. Shapeways.com is the site that first comes to mind.
Hardware, switches, fuses & other hardware come from either mcmaster-carr or mouser.

I hope youâve figured out your issues, but seriously man, vaping in a theater? People like you are why people think all vapers are douchebags.
Hmm. I missed this. I have never heard anyone call a vapor a douchebag. Especially me. If you are being called douchebag maybe you should stop being a dick. The theater I was in was practically empty. The only people close to us were vaping too. And the theater doesnât have or enforce a no vaping policy. So before you spout off about shit you donât know about please take the time to get to know the people of this community before bashing them.

I have all my cutoffs for lipoâs at 3.20v per cell. Most speed controllers are around that point. Donât risk it, donât bother below 3.1-3.2

They donât have a âNo holding up giant cardboard signsâ policy either, but itâs common sense that itâs not allowed.
Vaping blocks peopleâs view of the screen. Also, itâs indoors, in a no smoking building. No smoking should be treated as no vaping, unless otherwise specified by management or signage.

You must not have visited the internet.
Iâve gotten to know @LordVapor a little on here and in chat and he doesnât seem like a douchebag at all to me. Pretty sure he has a firm grasp on what on whatâs tolerable when it comes to vaping in public. And I donât think he would do anything to harm the vaping community.
ELR doesnât have a âDonât be a judgemental twatâ policy either. I think it also falls into the common sense catagory.

I searched and search and could find a âcommon sense threadâ. Lol.

This outlook is counterproductive to a primary GOAL of the Vaping industry as a whole. To distinguish between SMOKING (the burning of a substance) and VAPING (inhaling a liquid in vaporized form).
Further, it only serves to divide positions of the âlimited numbersâ (compared to the number of smokers) of those within the ranks of vaping. Not to mention the general public and their already unfounded fears of the new/unknown that is vaping.
While youâre welcome to your opinion, youâre not doing vapers or VAPING any service with your current attitude. Please consider what message you really want to send. Think bigger picture.
