Podunk Steam

My 200s showed up in the mail box today so I swapped the 204 battery contacts for the 209s and swiped a display from one of the new boards and all seems to be good. It auto fired the fire time but a battery reset and removing the atomizer cured it. I'd consider this an advanced build for anyone interested in the Bootlegger design. I'll be doing a complete video build once my other 3D prints show up that might help with the process. A picture of a customers build who managed a head start on me. I had the wrong 510 connector listed and the door screws needed a little adjusting but I like it.

Never mind, LMAOAMS!

Yeah what you said!

There are some of us here that may not be partial to the ECF like myself, any chance on a good look at the connectors here?

Sculpteo has been faster in my experience.

I was hesitant in upgrading a Stream 7 to Win 10 but have seen no issues with it.

Okay, there we go, boiling Acetone just didn't do a thing to the parts I tested.

I've got three more 200s on the way, I'll show you what I mean.

I did exactly as I watched on Youtube and it didn't do anything to whatever plastic my print was made from. My best guess is it was PLA, it was a Snakeways print.

I can't agree with you enough, the humble 510 has seen its day. They're not applicable in transmitting the power being applied to atomizers these days.

Yeah what he said.

Looks like I get to assemble my first DNA 200 mod again. I botched the display somehow, first display I've messed up. I just ordered two more 3D prints and three more DNA200 boards. If first you don't succeed! Off with me to get more battery contacts.

Russ the 1590 A with the milling I mentioned in the other thread just hits home with me. This has been a day of trial and tribulation for myself. The SX350J Bootlegger is a cake walk build, add the extra wires for the DNA200 , non-mounted display and it takes a little talent and friendly finessing. I fit the DNA200 Bootlegger together today and botched the display somehow, had to happen sometime, this is my first. It's vaping as it should and hooked to the Escribe I can see adjustments I'm make I just can't see them on the mod. Has there been any issues with the IGES mod files and displays being damaged with them? Reason I ask is I hacked the IGES files with Blender to make this mod incorporating our previous designs. When the display is in its recess the structure forces the ribbon to be bent right at the displays edge. The fire buttons location is very close and the ribbon does have to be bent pretty close to the display to not be in the way of the fire button. Anyway I have to acquire a new display if it would be possible.

That's all nice but why would you want to put a face plate in a box when the back interior of the 1590 A you make could be milled to have standoffs for mounting, display window, USB hole and button holes? I have plans to mill a press in structure that will do the equivalent of the mentioned. I'm not CNC equipped or I'd be doing it myself, it's a different world hand cracking everything!

Thank you and yes it does look a little better in person. I've been debating wire sizes, 510 pins and customizing of, charging cuircut wiring orientation..... Or this would have been done by now. This model originated as an entry level build kit utilizing the SX350j its a very simple build. The DNA 200 steps it up a few rungs on the ladder.

You know which type of plastic? Three coats appliance epoxy out of a rattle can.

I did test it with connecting part of prints and it didn't really work for me although there could be a difference in the plastic I tested to what I seen on the internet.

I'm very much a function before form person although when possible I can dress a mod very nicely. The 3D prints have an odd texture that absorbs the paint for the first few coats and if patience the texture can be smoothed through multiple coatings of paint and sanding between coats. Coating the 3D prints has been a work of trial and tribulation for myself, others have done much better than I have so far.

Nice build pics and mod

Thanks! My partner and I worked up the design, it makes for quick easy battery changes with no parts to get lost or any need for tools. Here, you may have seen this though. I've haven't done the dip coatings yet although they do look pretty cool. Are there different finishes, I mean like glossy, semi gloss, flat.....? Mating patterns on a full 360 coat could be a trick I'd think. The epoxy paint on the 3D prints almost has a leather, kinda grippy feel, my favorite coating so far.

My luck hasn't been so good with verticals other than of Fogger build a while back. Seems the wick moves away for the coils with the liquid popping, beside them being a bit warm for my taste.

24 gauge Ti wire was giving me a bit of an issue with contact coils so I started making mock contact coils (little spaces in between coils) and they are working well for me so far. Lemo2 11 wraps 24 gauge on a 3.5mm mandrel ohms tested at .47.

It's a nice box, I plan to mill an inlay with standoffs for mounting the 200 although it will have to wait. I just recieved my 3D print I've been waiting on for almost a month now, thanks to a print company that isn't as good as Sculpteo is. It looks awesome, button actuators slid right in, battery contacts are the right distance apart. I guess I'm a decent Blender hack.

Some 510s use a smaller diameter spring than others that can be a real challenge to get over wire as large as 14 gauge is. I just bored out the plastic in a 510 and used a large enough diameter spring it slid over the 14 without any hassles at all.

These are pretty nice!
