It is fairly big. Yet, I'm tootling right now with the insert to reduce airflow and getting killer flavor at 21W.
ahh
the magig word ...insert
looking at the picture it looks like a batchelor.. minus the famous blue heavy o rings ..plus a larger chamber
sure like to see the build deck !

I'm sure he will ok a thread sometime this week.

You guys are more impatient than my parrots, who have the emotional stability of 2 year olds :blah::D
jes i am in my goofy mode and you are such an easy mark !! but i bet my cat is more impatiant than any other animal i know of

We are not impatient, just short on patience. .....Is it only pre-order yet??
brewbear !
did you try hop extract in your e liquid jet ?
brewing an all grain batch of ipa takes pations to ..like a 5 hr session or so . used to be in a brew club in orange co when i was still living in ca.
what used to be the slogan of aha ...dont worry , be happy !??
relax , have a home brew ! no pre order jet ...bummer.

Well, with the DNA75 just being released, the DNA200 just got some baller new firmware. The maximum output voltage has been raised past 9V. I think to 9.5V but I'm not sure, and the TC capabilities with wires like SS has shot up exponentially. Sorry Yihi.

Could you Imagine throwing a .13 Ohm Build on a Series Box??
Here we go!
3 x 26KA1/36N80 (5 Wrap/3mm ID @ .38 Ohms [.13 Normally!])

I love my Rafale-X too, the neutral post makes building for unregulated series or TC much easier. Any super low resistance wire you have, this RDA was made for it. I wish they was a 24mm or 30mm version.

I have a Idea for one, I sent it to Roxy, I sent it to Leon about 2 weeks ago...I gotta draw it up but I think it would be neat...
Think Stonehenge but Deadpost Middle and one Side is Positive and one side Negative...

I recommend doing a Velocity style deck, then have a small neutral T-block post in-between them. This would make it much easier to use series OR parallel builds in, doing parallel builds in the Rafale-X requires you to build long ass coils.

Sounds like a typical day for me.
hey guys
not going with raymos 6 18650 s just to big ,but will build a 4 18650 and will use the pmw board with that.
not sure if i am going to use a volt meter at all .. it has a low voltage cut of . maybe some recessed contact points for dvm .to check on battery voltage. would be nice on the output so . we will see .
mnaumov any tips on it ? cant find to many useful specs on it . amps, volts, ohms law will give me the watts.. any ratings not to exeed ?
happy modding!
























not

I've used them at 800W and had them hold up just fine. The voltage meter cutoff is so low your batteries will be bricked and internally dead before they get low enough for it to cut off also. Voltage depends on your setup. Its 2-3S only, so you're not going to be able to use 4 18650's unless you put two sets of series in parallel with each other. 1S and 4S setups don't work with it. In a two cell setup, you'll get around 3-6.5V with that board. With three cells you'll get around 3-11.1V.

PWM boards don't boost, they're buck only. So you cannot use them effectively with a single battery setup. PWM can only provide the voltage currently in the cells, minus losses through transition and mod resistance.

EDIT: I was wrong, you can go from fucking 0V-12.6V or 0V-8.4V with this board, it can provide the maximum voltage left in the batteries. But you have to account for internal battery sag, voltage drop on the mod and transition loss on the pot. So with a fully charged two cell PWM mod using this board, at full charge you can get around 7.8V or so. 3S you can get around 11.8V. This is if you use a Lipo, they sag far less due to superior internal chemistry. Using 18650's I'd say your maximum will be 7.2-7.4V on two cell, 11.1-11.3V on three cell. This board has no limits, just like a 555 setup. I thought they built in voltage limits, but they didn't.

You mind as well get a HOG V2 Clone or the other 2S2p Box off Ebay if you want 8.4V....or a Hydra for 4.2V with the Amp headway

I'm not huge on unregulated mods, when I make box mods they're usually always regulated somehow, be it a high end DNA or SX board or a 555/PWM Board setup.

Holy CRAP, Ray... 48 GAUGE??!!!?!? Are there no limits to this man's talent? I've tried working with 40ga and it's damn near impossible, way thinner than hair. Can't imagine what 48ga would be like! :sad:


Just wanted to post my "brag" pic that doesn't even belong on the same page as Raymo's stuff, but whatevs. Same as the last one, 4mm ID, 7 wraps, 2x 25gaKA1 with 36gaN80 wrap, but this one isn't spaced. Vape and wicking is vastly superior to the old build! The old coils would taste a bit burnt around 170w, but I've hit these all the way up to 250w! Flavor is much cleaner/more pure as well!!!

ETA: I made these coils on a jig, it was pretty easy. If anyone is DIY minded and interested in trying, let me know, I'll show you how :)

I'm too embarrassed to post a regular build, so you are doing good :)

No need, really. Fancy coils are great if you want to vape at umpty-bazillion watts. But I don't. 35-50 does me just fine. I just wish somebody would start commercially manufacturing 28/36 Clapton wire so I could buy it instead of make it. Or that I'd unpack my gear and finish that automated Clapton winder I'm working on.

You are right, the experts on this thread (including you) are super decent human beings and take pride in their work without being pretentious smurfs.

(I still can't believe I'm following this thread, lol)

thanks guys
build about 20 or so mods in the last 7 years , anything from t10 ,3040 c or something like that dna20 and 30 , the yihi sx350 not the j version so . all regulated and most 18650 duals . then the mods ready made got cheeper then the chips themselves . only 2 are lipos .
so one more mod i have to try this board ..lol
will use sirries paralel to end up with the 8volt . so 4 batteries of good quality , low internal resistance will give me plenty to try the boreas with rays type coils .. later .one thing i hope for is that it doas not do is ceep draining the batteries below cut off voltage , how ever slow .
and thanks for the info of their cutoff being to low ! maybe a zener be possible . is there any ma or even micro amp draw you mesured naumov ?i know there is a low amp switching circut build in . which is nice . maybe a switch is still needed to completely shut of the board from the batterie . like in the t10 or 20 amp version . looks like a volt meter is still a good idea .
i also thought they have a voltage limit and with that a decent cut off
thanks

regular claptons no problem ..build a jig for it and it wind 34 g onto a 28 just nice . so finish that jig and you can try different wires sises and types .

There are many more benefits to advanced coils then just higher wattage and they dont need higher wattage if built not to...thats why they are popular. Some of them are purely cosmetic though, some of them are just for high wattage...but most of them actually have benefits like wicking properties, heating properties.

The 26/32 clapton wire UD makes is phenomenal, good clean wire.

I got my Ribbon wire in today and I think a few of you wanted to see the Alien Framed Staples when I made them....This time I spaced the Alien wrap more so the Ribbon is more Visable...
