I too am thinking about starting a mod build.
Thinking about going down the DNA road....prob DNA75 and single 18650
Trawled both the recommended sites on this thread, both pretty much have everything covered - ModMaker is
slightly cheaper on boards though, £37.99 compared to £39.99 for StealthVape....not a big difference.
Priced up a modest kit for a complete build, came to about £70....inc DNA75, two gauges of wire, actuators, 510, enclosure, sled, magnets....everything - well impressed.
Questions:
- In terms of soldering, what type is best? All I can find from the usual places
(Maplins etc) is lead free...is this any good? Do I have any choice?
- Do I need to use flux? The YouTube vids I have watched
(all American btw) all use a flux....can't remember which one they use though.
- Are the magnets epoxied in? Or super glued? Or something else?
- What about stand-offs? Will I need them, or can I just epoxy the sled etc to the enclosure?
- Grounding everything - how should I go about this? I'm assuming this is done through the board mountings?
(I'm thinking about an anodised aluminium enclosure - ModMaker SmallBoy)
Sorry for the noob questions....it's because I am one when it comes to mod building!
I know my way round a soldering iron....did my O and A level electronics many moons ago, but I'm sure my old grey matter still works....with a bit of coaxing!
Thanks
