New mod "Black Beauty"
« on: March 15, 2014, 03:16:56 PM »
Hi all, just finished my new mod "Black Beauty"

Specs:

Size of box: 100 x Height - 50 x Width - 25 x Depth
Chip: Evolv DNA30D
Battery: 18650

Fitted with:

Chip: Evolv DNA30D
USB: Evolv USB charger with protection cover
Atomizer connector: 510 Silver sealed connector
Firing button: Silver 16mm vandal proof button
Up button: Silver 200 G-Force tactile button
Down button: Silver 200 G-Force tactile button
Battery holder: Keystone 18650
OLED frame: Black detail firm black plastic with a smooth surface and brushed look
Color: Matt Black

Preparation:

Sanded box down to remove sheen using 80/180/400 grit paper
Sanded inner side of box using dremel sander for where parts are to be epoxied for a better adhesion
Cleaned the whole box with Isopropyl to remove any residues
Primed box with self etching primer for the best adhesion possible
Primed box with high coat primer and then sanded for for a smoother finish
Color coated with Matt black spray paint
Coated with Matt clear lacquer for toughness

Fixings:

510 connector, filled the underside of the 510 with epoxy 2hr to stop the 510 pin from moving down and damaging the rubber derlin and also securing the wires
510 connector, epoxied to box with JB weld for extra toughness
16mm firing button epoxied too box with 2hr and 5min epoxy
Up and Down buttons epoxied too box with 2hr and 5min epoxy
Evolv USB board epoxied too box with 2hr and 5min epoxy
Evolv DNA30D board epoxied down into box with with 2hr and 5min epoxy
Battery holder held down into box with with epoxy 2hr

Final thoughts:

I must say that this is my best built mod to date and i am chuffed to bits how it has turned out, it was way more costly compared to the others as i have made due to so many changes to my previous mods making it more robust and many many more things....the list is endless.....there is no fast machinery making this just loads of hard work and grafting/sweat to make this, down to the last mm of filing to make the perfect mod.....Oh and plenty of nerve wrecking times......as with all mod making one mistake and it ruins the whole thing.











 ;cheers;

The outside is so clean, great work. It looks like a 300$ mod.
