Good find Super-Shiny and vindication for the argument.

According to that table you can run 20 AWG throughout to no detriment, but if you already have both sizes then you can stick to the plan.

The wires from the battery to the board and from the usb charger to the board and from the board to the 510 connector should be thicker wire. Those wires will in essense guide the current.
The wires for the buttons can be far less thick because they won't be used for conducting the power from the battery to the connector.

So stick with the recommended size just to be safe

This is the wiring guide i got aswell from another site, not the same battery holder though:

LOL, you can't have too many fuses!

A bridge at one end, a 'Y' at the other, 2 fuses and 4 inputs, you should follow that diagram!

Super-Shiny, I hope for the future of vaping that somebody posted that pic as a joke?

That picture was supplied from the maker of the mod...see here: breaktru.com/smf/index.php/board,31.0.html (title: looking for help with the Milo)

It's my post to them.

err, why fuses?
I'm sure the DNA got short cut protection

Even better this is the guide: www.howder.com/milo-dna20d.pdf

I guess milo used fuses because it are unprotected batteries.
I've put a protected 18650 3400mah in mine and did away with the fuses

I don't have any protected batteries as i mainly use mech mods with a kick fitted, so do you think it would best for me to use them fuses as per her diagram above?

From the datasheet:

Error Messages
The DNA 20 will indicate a variety of error states.
Check Atomizer: The DNA does not detect an atomizer, or the atomizer has shorted out.
Shorted: The atomizer or wiring are short circuited.
Check Battery: The battery is below 3.1 volts. It probably needs to be charged.
Weak Battery: The battery sags excessively when firing. This typically means the user is not using a high
rate battery, or the battery is old and degraded. It can also mean the battery is not making good contact.
Too Hot: The DNA 20D has onboard temperature sensing. It will shut down and display this message if
the internal board temperature becomes excessive.
Too low power setting: The DNA 20D puts out a minimum of 4 volts. With low power settings (7 to 8
watts) and low resistance atomizers (below 2 ohms) the DNA will sometimes be unable to provide a low
enough power output to be power regulating. If this is the case, the Ohms display will be flashing. The
device will still operate.

The only time (in my opinion) a fuse would be useful is when the wire it's attached to gets lose and touches something else to complete the circuit.
It won't protect you against a battery blowing up.

Sooo, if you make sure your wires are properly soldered and you isolate all your wires, I don't see a reason to add a fuse other than extra added safety upon added safety.

Thanks testdruif i will drop the fuses, less work for me
