VapeTonics The Vape Snob Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hi o guys, curious would it be possible to build a mod using the dna250 with dual or even possibly triple 26650 batteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67exec Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) If you can come up with the sled(s) and an enclosure that you like, then it can work. It would be huge, but no reason you couldn't I personally would build one to use 20700 or 21700 as they offer higher amp ratings and mah. Check out battery mooch, he tests pretty much all batteries that get used by vapers and let's us know true ratings. Plus with the Ijoy captain, 20700s are showing up in more b&ms Edited July 26, 2017 by 67exec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapeTonics The Vape Snob Posted July 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 @67exec Hey man, thanks so much for the input. I just want to be clear: I can use dual or even triple 20700 or 21700 with a DNA 250? Will it fry out the board or worse? Which would you recommend? 20700 or 21700 for dual or even triple? I have a really cool design in mind and it is very unique but I want to be sure before I start ordering and assembling. Again much gratitude for answering my questions. You got me excited about this new project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67exec Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 A dna250 with dual batts pushes 167w, triple makes the full 250. I would use the ijoy 2700 or the sanyo 20700a, as they are the most widely available. The ijoy for sure fits in the new nitecore i4. Also, I wouldn't be the least bit afraid to charge in mod with a dna chip. Building your own mod, I would try and leave room for a 21700. I didn't find any for sale yet, but they are coming at even better capacity and amp rating than the 20700's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that we are on the same page... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67exec Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Any dna 250 powered by 2 cells, be it 2x18650, 2x26550, 2x20700, or 2s lipo will max out at 167w. With a 3cell setup, it will make the full 250w. The reason for this is that the dna250 chip uses a buck only circuit, not a buck-boost circuit which is why it has a 97% efficiency vs 85% of most other brands.
