So postie bought me some packages today.

Package number one contained this wooden box.


What's in the box?
Well a fetching blue leather bag what else?


Woohoo this is great like a little solo game of pass the parcel what's inside the bag?
My shiny new stab wood DNA75C that's bleedin what!





Gorgeous innit?
This little monster was given the moniker of Capo by the craftsman who made it on account of how a capacitor exploded on his mill when machining it.
This was made by a chap named Stu who uses the name Vapesmarter online.
If you're looking for a custom build then you should talk to this guy this is exactly to the specs i asked for including down to the wood colours.
None of this nonsense of these are the blocks i have pick one, nope he will make a stab wood block in the colours you pick then send you some pics when the block is made to make sure you're happy with it before machining the block and other parts, i asked for blues and greens and that's what i got.
Seriously if you want a mod built to your taste give the guy a shout his prices are super reasonable too, don't go expecting like Eleaf iStick prices for something like this but also we're not talking silly expensive £300 prices either.

But wait, you said packages plural what else?

Well my dual coil version Themis RTA turned up today too, so off now to chuck a build in this and give both of these babies a good running in.

And i need to hunt a more suitable blue drip tip now.



Forgot to include his website.

You can find links on there to his twitter/instagram/email etc.

Yeah it would be absolutely fine on a regulated device.

As far as on a mech goes it's not entirely black and white.
Batteries basically have two different discharge ratings, continuous and pulse.

Continuous rating is the rating the battery can safely discharge at if it is discharging continuously, when you are discharging a battery a chemical reaction is taking place inside the cell, that reaction creates electrical power and it also creates heat, too much can cause a failure a thermal runaway and it will vent, the continuous rating on the 30Q is 15A.

The pulse rating is the safe rating the battery can be discharged at in pulses meaning firing.stopping,firing again, because there are periods where the battery isn't being discharged it has time to cool down a little and the chemical reaction is stopping so you can discharge at higher Amp levels without a catastrophic failure.
The problem is there's no universal standard of what a pulse is each manufacturer seems to have different criteria for what a pulse is, that and pushing the battery like that will reduce the charge capacity of the battery and probably reduce the batteries life cycle too.

It's really a matter of levels of risk.

1:If you stay within the continuous rating the risk of venting is low, you can't eliminate the risk entirely because you can't eliminate the possibility of a manufacturing fault with the battery.

2:If you stay within the pulse rating the risk increases.

3:If you go over the pulse rating then failure is pretty much guaranteed.

At 0.17ohm the 30Q probably won't vent unless you are vaping non stop like a train but you are in number 2 territory.

I like vaping but personally i try and stay in number 1 territory if possible and keep it as safe as humanly possible.

Yeah you could use it but as always it depends on the resistance of your build being within safe limits.
Keep your build above 0.25ohm otherwise you are straying out of safe continuous discharge territory and into pulse discharge territory where you are risking a possible failure and venting.
It is safe to use at above 0.25ohm but the voltage sag i hear is pretty bad with that particular battery, it's more suitable for a regulated device for that reason.
