Custom Rebel mod?

[MetalVape90]

I’m wondering if Rebel Vapes do custom mods besides the ones that are available already on their site.

Since Rebel 3D prints their devices it might be worth inquiring about cause I’m looking at having a small light weight mod made. I was thinking either a DNA60 or SX350J (60W), single 18650 and can hold a 24mm tank. So a really small compact mod a bit like a Stratum.

Would it be possible for them?

Highly doubtful I would think, as far as I know they out source the printing , so it wouldn't be feasible for them

Best bet for something printed would probably be something like shapeways, if you can find something that's been tried and tested, then it has to be wired etc

Someone that has a 3d printer might be able to help, especially if it's a new design as it'll take more than 1 print to get it right, plus before you even start there is the design itself

Why 3D printed and not made out of Derlin or some thing, and CnC router will do a really good job
And quicker

I would try to make my own mod housing if I had the tools, materials and the available work space.

I've made a couple of my own designed 3D printed mods but it's a labour of love due to the development time and prototyping, the last one took around 100 odd hours of printing time let alone 3D CAD designing and revising etc.

I couldn't imagine making it commercially viable as the end result simply doesn't look as high end with the cheap looking plastic and wouldn't warrant the price tag.

I keep meaning to strip down a compact pod/pod as a donor for a mini mod as I found those little LiPo's give you far more freedom with the design, this one was a fail for me due to the overall height.

Have you tried a smaller battery configuration? 18500 or 18350 that’ll allow you to shrink down the height a bit, granted you might not get as much battery life out of an 18500 and 18350 compared to an 18650 or a Li-Po.

Out of curiosity have you thought about repurposing CoV Mini Volt 40W boards? I have a dead CoV Mini Volt mod but the board is fine and it’s pretty small.

The problem I found with making smaller 3D print mods with an 18350 was it started to look quite chunky due to the limitations of plastic, LiPo's give you more options than the classic box shape though, I would rather use a milling machine and start with a solid metal block, only snag is I don't have a milling machine

I made a DNA 75c squonker that was just too big overall when compared to something like a Pulse 80, all that work and I hardly used it in the end.
