hi all,
here is a review on the Darwin electronic cigarette
Cheers,
Scott
again solid review, I totally agree, what I do like is the electronics, to set the wattage etc...would like to see a device with that but with a different look and build...
hi mate,
you should consider the Provari........best device ive used so far
i know it varies the voltage rather than the wattage but the vaping results are identical, with both devices creating excellent and consistent amounts of vapour
cheers

I loved my Darwin. I did a video of it as well. Didn't have any of the problems you're describing with mine. Carried it in my pocket all day and the wattage never changed. My switch was pretty light. The arm wasn't wiggly when it was fully extended. My button did rattle a bit though. And the looks of it grew on me. Plus it fit in my pocket better than any other mod I've used, it being flat and skinny and all. To each his own I guess. Cheers.
What you said above is what we call "backwards rationalisation" in psychology. You don't want to feel bad about wasting money so you convince yourself that you made the right decision. LMAO.. get over yourself.
hi mate,
im glad to hear that you are enjoying your Darwin, and as long as you are happy with it then nothing else matters
i would like to share this post from a forum member over at UKV:-
"Just an update. Bugger the warranty. I couldn't stand the switch (I was getting callouses on my thumb) so I opened up the Darwin to see why the switch was so stiff. Turns out the the actual switch is a very small microswitch which is very light in action. The problem was with the piece of bent brass sheet that acts as a button. I bent mine slightly, put it back together and what do you know - it now activates with the lightest of touches.
This, to me, is poor quality control on assembly. The switch should activate like it does now "out of the box". Don't they test them? 2 seconds to rectify.
While I had it open, I poked the spring and ball bearing that hold the arm in an upright position. I think the ball wasn't seated correctly. When reassembled, the arm now clicks upright with a satisfying click and doesn't collapse when a tank or something heavy is attached. Same QC problem.
When you make something, you must know what the finished product is supposed to be like, so when each one is made it should be tested against these criteria. It looks like Evolv don't actually do this.
Something else I've got is fingerprints on the finish that I can't remove. "
now 2 of my main gripes were the stiff switch and the wobbly arm which the above person (and many others) experienced as well.........he managed to fix his issues in a matter of minutes, and if Evolve had done the same thing before sending the device out to the supplier to sell then my review may well have been a very different story
cheers

OK so some do not like the Darwin, fine. From the owner of several "high end" Mod's (the Vari included) I can say this is the only $200+ dollar unit I have purchased two of. If you are a fan of "tube" style MOD's then you will probably find this design puts you off. But let's give some credit where credit is do. Evolv has brought a unit to the market that no matter what you put on it the PV will alter the voltage over the batt cycle, atty/carto changes due to heat/aging and deliver the same watts no matter what. They have also been implementing changes based on user feedback (i.e stiff button has been updated) and they have revised the design when they see a need. Additionally I have seen numerous posts that when an issue has occured Evolv has stepped in and taken care of their customer promptly. So while I can vape my Vari, Buzz, Infinity, Reo's, Super-T etc. I find that 90% of my vaping is now done on the Darwins equiped with Iken Fusion and V2 cartos. So pick you VV (or in my case VW) weapon find your happy place and vape away.
