There's a clever accessory for the iStick mod called the "bending adapter": it lets iStick users fold the atomizer, to reduce the height of the device:
Well, here it is on my Vaporshark rDNA:
Why would you want to use this thing on the rDNA 40, you ask? For one simple reason: when you open it, it disconnects the atomizer. When you close it, it reconnects it.
Therefore, it's very useful if you think the DNA40 board is misreading the coil in temperature control mode: open, close, select "NEW COIL" and you're done in 2 seconds. No more unscrewing / tightening the atomizer to force the board to recalibrate itself. It also acts as a thread protector if you like to swap atomizers often.
Finally, it can also be used like on the iStick, to fold the atomizer along the side of the mod. Unfortunately, it only works with 19mm atomizers or smaller, due to the size of the mod.
If you want to make one, here's what you need to do:
1/ Modify the "="-shaped iStick-compatible tabs under the adapter's hinge to fit the "X"-shaped air channels on the rDNA:
2/ Reduce the height of the shoulder right next to the threaded area of the adapter's pin. Unmodified, the shoulder bottoms out on the edge of the rDNA's 510 connector. With the shoulder reduced slightly, the pin can sit lower and press the hinge against the mod's case:
The bending adapter adds about 0.03 ohms of resistance, probably because of the crappy spring inside the pin. So in temperature control mode, if you like to set your temperature near the dry-hit limit, you might have to reduce it 10 degrees to compensate.
