Get them while you can, StealthVape, cremedevape.com & bargainvapour.com still have some stock, ModMaker have sold out.

I take it you mean the board? Think I had the last one from modmaker

Yes the DNA200 & DNA40 large screen, a few about still, but they will be gone soon.

Evolv 510 are now available in the US for $20, bargain, @ ProtoVapor, the spec is worng the centre pin is a gold plated copper alloy not brass.

The best 510 out there, I have been running one since July and although it is the same resistance as a VariTube it is more stable and VT are reportedly more stable than FatDaddy 510s. Sometimes with the VT some atties jump about 0.02 ohm after letting the mod get unusually cold, not tried a FD as they have such a poor rep for temp limiting in some circles. They will also be much longer lasting, you see the insulator threads give up on the FD when over tightened, the VT (and FT clones of the VT) are better but has the same inherent weakness.


You need a few extra tools to work with them: Interior cir-clip pliers 45 degree as small as you can find, don't bother with the ones with changeable tips and a pin wrench, adjustable with 4 mm pins. The thread is 1/2"x20 (1/2" UNF), I have a thread tap shown below. Also never try and turn then with the positive wire connected, it is easy enough to unclip the centre pin.


gm111 IIRC you were looking for these.

The HCigar boxes with the ss 510 from Ireland £20.49 link and battery £17.58 link

A theme image creation program link.


StealthVape have DNA200 boards listed again in "Bulk packaging", they also have some nicer buttons than the Vamo ones and new 3D printed battery sleds designed for Hammond boxes.

hope my brass 510 in the vt200 will last good to know there is an option if i thread it tho.. cheers..

Mine is holding up fine since launch date, but to be honest I have never had any issues with brass 510's even on the clones I have bought.

Not the best at soldering and he doesn't bend the screen cable properly, but gives a good idea of what's involved making one of these.

Good video.
Only thing i would say to anyone thinking of having a go is i dont think i would have the battery connected while trying to work out the screen placing in case you short something on the board and i would treat the screen with a bit more care.

[VapingBad]

Yea, if you need the screen on to position it power it from USB rather than the battery and that should only be the final fine adjustment.

[VapingBad]

Cream de Vape have some screens, but they are not cheap!
They are not the right screens

[VapingBad]

Just got some clarification from Evolv about which DNA40 large screens work with the 200, or more importantly vise versa so if you borrow a DNA40 screen make sure you replace it with one with a green tap on the screen protector.

Large screens with the green tabbed film on them will work with the DNA40 and 200. Screens with the red tabbed film will only work on the DNA200.

would that be suitable for dna200/75 if the 75 will take a lipo
reason I ask is I remember when this form of batt chemistry/build was in early development and it seemed promising

Only for the 200, the 75 needs 1S, a mate has mad one with a 5,000 mAh 1S5P pack he made from separate cells.  A few people have used the Graphene ones on 200s, but I don't see the benefit as you only need < 25 A and IIRC they are a bit bigger than the normal LiPos.

Longer lasting Li batteries coming in the future www.popsci.com/researchers-accidentally-make-batteries-last-400-times-longer

I'm busy modding a dead rx200 for the dna board, got a fat daddy 510 for it too, done all the cutty out stuff and now just waiting on the lacquer drying. Only things I've still to check up on is connecting the battery wires and fitting the screen so it's in the right place lol.

Need a sticky pad too, wonder if mod maker does them too. Didn't even think to check when I was buying the board etc. Doh!
