Would you pay £130.00 for this?

[GunJack]

no, never.... if a £20-£30 APV will do the job, fine by me. What' the point when it's the atty/tank that make more of a difference to the final vape ??

[Super-Shiny]

Change of heart on the first mod, and i am leaning towards this one, it's a lot smaller and i can bring the cost down from £133.00 too £115.00 delivered with spare parts to go towards another mod if i wanted to make another.

Diagram on the right is actual size:

Is that ready made Jase or is that a DIY project?

That's all the parts delivered, just need then to make it, the one i just posted seems to be a lot smaller and a lot easier to make then the other one i posted.

See, now I like the look of that one a LOT better. Looks lovely in fact. Will 1200 mAh be enough though? I'd personally be shooting for 2000 at least. But then I guess it would make it a lot bigger then.

I wonder how much of that stuff my work has?  I could maybe knock £10-£20 off that price, lol.

[Super-Shiny]

Just for info Greigster i am awaiting confirmation from mamu (the maker of the device) that the following are fine from the list above:

3 x Tactile switches
£1.52 for 5 (minimum order)
uk.rs-online.com/web/p/tactile-switches/0102383/

2 x PTC resettable fuses 30v, 3A

Yep would need a bigger box, not in length but thickness.

Think i would get about 7hrs @ 15w from it as i ain't a heavy vapor..see here: Clicky

The picture on the left is the original one by mamu and the size of his box is (internal)

Height: 61mm
Width: 28.5mm
Depth: 15.8

Mine is (external)

Height:75mm
Width 48mm
Depth 27mm

So mine is around 9mm more in depth so maybe i might look for a higher mAh battery, not much though as i have been reading it's a very tight fit but i have 9mm to mess around with.

[xs2man]

It is VERY nice though. I will watch with much interest, as this could be the right amount of geek for me to get my geek on. I was gonna buy a new higher end mod in the new year, but this could be the way to go, even though 20w is wasted on me (as is 15 to be fair).

[gapy360]

Liking your thinking on this, a dna 20 mod is on the purchase list this year but need to find one I like.

[Super-Shiny]

Thought i would tag you Greigster as i have the final details, them few above parts i mentioned above have been confirmed to be fine, there is also a slight price increase as they also confirmed i could get not just one 1200mAh 25C li-poly batts in the case but two now giving me a total of 2400mah also added to the list 1 x sheet of Lexan clear polycarbonate to protect the led on the DNA20 even more.

So the new total is £121.84 delivered.

Confirmation on the parts below can be found here: Clicky

Super-Shiny,

That looks great, and you have someone helping you through it too. Brilliant.

Are you going to keep going in this thread as your build progresses? Or are you going to start a seperate thread? Either way, can you tag me on updates too?

I am VERY curious on this build, and I am seriously considering going for this myself. That stealth box does indeed look awesome, and now that there is confirmation that you can get 2400 mAh in there, that's me pretty much sold. Plus I like the matte black finish on the box in the other thread. That looks properly awesome to me, and right up my street. I was considering hunting down a pre-built DNA20 mod, but I think I might give it a go making one myself too. I am so tempted to just run through your list just now and Mastercard it all, lol.

Now I'm sitting here wondering if there would be any further discount on the shipping if you (we) bought the parts for 2 together, then you shipped me the parts in one go, splitting all postage costs equally. Pretty sure that the p+p costs would be substantial in that list?

[Super-Shiny]

xs2man will probably start a new thread when i get around starting it, juts gotta get some funds back in.

As for shipping it's pretty much all free apart from Stealthvape and uk.rs-online.

Yep it was very kind of mamu helping me on this as she is the maker of it

I will tag you when i start a thread, saying that though you might be starting one before me

[Raffles]

Super-Shiny my head is hurting so much after reading this thread, and I've not drunk much yet!

It will never be for me, but I truly admire your enthusiasm, skill and knowledge... and I know it will be a success! I just don't know what you're talking about, but others do, and that is the point... you are helping so many.
