NMEones Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 building my first dna.. usually only dealt with mechs... I already have some 14awg and 24awg silicone wire.. wondering if the silicone is alright for the battery connection since it mentions PVC. Like i said, i dont have much experience with building regulated mods, I figured Id ask here before I went and fried something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector NS5 RD Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Silicone wire is so much nicer to work with. Most if not all regulated mods use silicone, so you're golden. Just make sure you have the correct gauge. Each board has it's own recommended wire sizes. Be sure to look at what gauge is recommended for your model. You can get that info from the PDF's available on the Evolv website. Each board has it's own PDF manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man, I didn’t want to start a new thread for such a simple questions.... I feel like a complete noob asking these silly questions but I’m trying to triple check everything before starting to assemble... want everything to go off without a hitch for my first go at it! I’m still working out the exact length I’ll need (putting the final parts of the design together today) but just ballparking for now, these screws are OK for the board yeah?

Spector NS5 RD Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 @NMEones I have no idea of the screw size needed to mount the board. It depends what you're mounting the to......plastic? metal? wood? I honestly never bought screws for mounting the board. I always had screws left over from other mods or various other projects. I just used what fit for the project, never measured them. In the PDF It lists the screw hole size and suggested screw size.; try there first. If you're still doubtful, open a help ticket or if someone happens to read this and they know for sure, maybe they can chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awsum140 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Generally speaking the screw size, machine screw size, is 0-80. For plastic or wood a size 0 with an appropriate length would work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
