Not sure about old/new i just hit steam engine tcr in google and used first link. Pick 316L, download file and up it to DNA.

*edit

Damn, thanks for mentioning that Landman, i didnt even think about that either.
I was enjoying the triton on wattage already but now this might become my favorite prebuild coil/tank for lazy times. I vaped 3 tanks bonedry already since upped that tcr, luckely im vaping self mixed stuff these days. Not aiming for clouds but its so foggy in here now, think you can smell the strawberrie at end of the street.
quick question then.

what is the setting you are vaping at? and like what wattage does it hovers around to keep that temperature(while not vaping) so I can see if it's pretty much the same as my coil since I find that 490 is pretty weak in a vape.

When i first uploaded it and started to vape it few houres ago i was vaping it at 470F, vaped great. Above that i would scorch the coil imho, felt like i was pushing it, im not sure if my atty was warm or wathever when i started. Vaped like 30 minutes then swapped to another mod to vape another flavor a bit, i think 20 minutes or so. When picked the opus back up after that the vape was REALY warm (to) at that setting. So moved it down to 410F (oops 400) and 45w from that moment and been vaping without a problem at that setting for the last 90 min or so.
Bit weird to see 490...its not like i cant stand warm vapor, i like it to. 490 would imho set my coil in fire atm.
Let me take a screen rq.

6 sec drags, compared to my average of 1.69 most of the time in wattage lol, is delicious.

490 shouldn't really scorch anything considering it hovers around 65ish watts while vaping. I vaped this thing at 75-80 watts in power mode no issue.

Set it at 490 in 2.37 sec im at 465 degrees @45 watt and it gets to hot and will dry out my coil on a longer drag.
Isnt my thing, guess thats the nice thing of setting it to preference, cranck it up to 600 if its not hot enough?

Screen i posted is where i personaly like the coil for long drags. You taking long drags at 500F with 80 watts?
Post a screen please be intresting to see and i wonder why our temps are so different, 0.4 head?

Dear lord 490 @ 80 watt, 1.72 sec and i need to stop, then it gets to much for me lol.
Sorry last page spamming big bum picture

0.3 coil head.

can only take like 4 second drags but I am not the person to take super long hits anyway. even at 450 i can only handle 5-6 seconds. it's just not my cup off tea

here is my chart. running abit hot there. sometimes in the end it overshoots or undershoots.

Ok yes, that 0.3 ohm coil might make a pretty big difference in stats to, not sure.
Just set it higher if its a to weak vape, even for 4 second drags you should get a nice advantage of having it in temp control over normal power mode.
Realy cant imagin 500 is a "weak" vape at 80 watts for anyone on a tank, or im a complete wuzz or i have paired my atty/mod wrong.

BTW
1274 puffs, do you even vape bro? jk lol

this thing has only been back into business properly since yesterday. And I only use it during the night since I can't go sneak vape at work with that brick in my pants while I can with my sigelei 150.

Honestly this just proved that I either get a IPV3 LI for titanium temp control or I get a more "normal" sized dna 200 mod....VS I guess urgh

but man 500F at 80 watts is so great. I am REALLY loving the triton coils especially with TC. kinda sad I already bought a new five pack of herakles coils.

but eh I got a crown tank coming in....once fasttech ships it. I can use TC on that thing. also got the TFV4 coming in so I am buying and their new coil heads like that sextuple one, the titanium and nickel ones. the weird "core" version of those. the dual and single and then the dual RDA and horizontal RDA(so excite for that especially. only just one of those coils so I don't break bank haha. but man. SMOK is killllliiiiiiiiing the vape game with so many options of coil heads. the list is huge

single coil
dual coil
triple coil
quad coil
sextuple coil
dual nickel coil
dual titanium coil
dual nickel coil CORE (apparently the coil head has a extra air space in the chamber where fresh air gets mixed in so you get hot and cold mixed in the coil itself. no idea how that will end u p)
dual titaniul coil CORE
single coil RDA
dual coil RDA
Vertical coil RDA

and apparently they are designing even MORE. I think the fact that the tank is like 25mm is really giving them SPACE to do so many coil options while 22mm tanks is always like. vertical coil, nickel coil, titanium coil. tiny RBA sections. Hell the TFV4 build decks are apparently damn big. this just proves my theory(after I bought a buddha V1) that companies need to go beyond 22mm because it's a bottleneck for more amazing design and especially in coil design.

One exciting thing about the sense cyclone WHICH I NEEEEEEED since I love the herakles is the fact that they swapped from kanthal to stainless steel so bam TC on that thing.

The clearomizer tank market is so booming and after like a year of the same bull.... we are getting more new stuff.

My local shop has the tfv4 and everyone has had the coil heads going bad super super quick. And apparently the only way they can get them to even last a week is keep the tank full all the time so it at least covers most of the cool head wick holes. And also the build deck is big but the juice channels are so big that everyone is having the tank dump out every time they fill it. Even with cotton packed in the channels it drains it right out. I don't care for the tank but just some observations. Also the crown tank is great. Local shop has had them for months. Always was a great seller.

Can you run a DNA 200 board directly off a 12v car battery? Or even through a cigarette lighter outlet?
Yes but it's kinda hard to carry around a car battery in your pocket.

The DNA200 has true pass thru so you can vape it while plugged into a cig lighter outlet via USB but the mod needs an internal battery.

Yeah. I'm thinking about doing a custom enclosure that will be powered only off a cigarette lighter. Something like a hookah for the car.

Basically a cigarette lighter wired to a small handheld tubular DNA200 device. No internal battery. Very small because it doesn't need the battery internally.

Just messin' with ya :D

Someone asked in the Evolv forums. I believe John said the chip can handle up to 16v even though the tech docs state 12.6v max, so you should be fine with a car's voltage (14.5v max from alternator, 12.6v from the battery when the car is off). Just make sure the cig lighter voltage isn't higher as some newer vehicles use 42v systems (although the cig lighter should still be 12v).

*edit*
Also, the fuse needs to be at least 23a or you'll pop it if using a cig lighter plug.

Good point about the alternator. I'll have to test the 12v outlet. Fortunately, I have lots of stuff for 12v outlets.

There's one on Shapeways right now. I think the designer is DZnuts

Received my tracking number at 11:22 AM today. Email message from VaporShark receive moments ago:

DNA 200 – WE’RE SHIPPING!

The first batch of DNA 200's are finally complete and shipping has begun. We know a lot of you took advantage of our pre-order and are eager to get your hands on your new device. However, keep in mind that though we do our absolute best, we can only process so many orders on a daily basis.

If you placed your preorder in the first few days, you can expect a tracking number within the next 10 business days. If you placed your order recently, you are realistically looking at 2 to 3 weeks.

Our shipping and customer service teams are hard at work to ensure that your orders are carefully processed in the order they were received. If you wish to cancel your order due to the processing time, you can do so by contacting support@vaporshark.com. Our team will promptly cancel and refund your order….BUT, we know this device is well worth the wait; you'll see for yourself when you hold it in your hands for the first time.

SUPPORT STAFF

We do realize that what we need to do is get these devices in your hands! That being said, many of you have been calling and emailing our support team to know when you will be receiving your orders. In fact, we are currently receiving an average of 500 phone calls and 300 emails per day; we do want to let you know that this volume is untypical and far exceeds our standard capacity. Whereas we typically respond to emails in under 24 hours, we are currently running an average of anywhere between 48-72 hours. However, in efforts to help future proof and strengthen our support staff to be able to better serve you, we have taken on several new staff members whom are currently being trained.

We ask that you bear with us during these extremely high call and email volumes. We’re doing our best to get back to each and every inquiry in the timeliest manner possible.

TROPICAL STORM / HURRICANE ERIKA

In addition to the above, we are expecting severe weather with the arrival of Tropical Storm Erika. Current projections show Tropical Storm Erika developing to a Category 1 Hurricane by Monday morning. If current projections persist and Erika makes landfall by Monday morning, our offices will be closed. If all fares well and power is restored by Tuesday we will re-open for business as usual. While we don’t anticipate that Erika will cause shipping delays, please note that we cannot be certain until the storm has passed and we are able to assess any damages that may occur. Thanks for your understanding; if there’s anything that’s out of our hands, it’s the weather!

Thank You,

Vapor Shark

The s’lab200 is finally up and running.

GsQBbvD.jpg

JT3bPvc.jpg
Please bear in mind that the red rubber bands are not part of the design but interim measurements only. I managed to dead short the battery that I have temporarily brought back to life until the new battery arrives on Monday. But it needs full time attention (used/charged only when tethered and monitored on Device Monitor) and occasional tinkering, hence the doggy quick access solution.

The design:
This is basically a faux reference box on light steroids.

RFSyA4O.jpg
The result is an average brick measuring 98.85 x 61.5 x 28.15 mm (3.91” x 2.427” x 1.112”) which is slightly beefier and deeper but reasonably lower than my IPV4 (107.2 x 57.44 x26.55 mm, 4.212” x 2.225” x 1.04“)

And it easily houses a Turnigy Nano 3s 1500mah providing 16.65Wh.

Besides, it is light and the buttons are fun to use. They are easy, clicky and responsive. Love ‘em.



The print:

This is my very first 3D printout I have seen/hold thus I can’t provide comprehensive evaluation but tell you that I have found the overall print quality good and precise. However, the buttons needed quite a bit of filing as they simply didn’t go in. The usb connector opening also required some light filing but I was easy on it and let it reasonably tight fit.
But this is it, nothing really to write home about.

The build:

In general it was a rather easy build save for installing the board. But considering my skills it could be just me.
Anyway, the thing is that there is (was) a counter supporting angle holding the board from the top where there is no screw support from the bottom. The idea is good but I have found it hard to rotate even the naked board (w/o screen, wires etc) in because of the usb connector and it’s tight-fit opening on the case. With wires on and screen attached it seemed impossible to me for it would have needed more skills than I possess and/or more force on the case and/or on the screen ribbon I was willing to apply. So I have simply cut it off with a hot knife leaving the three standoffs and screws to hold the board.

Besides, I have ended up soldering the output wires with board already installed as they limited me maneuvering the board in too.

I have fixed the 510 connector last. The hole diameter allows for self taping the connector in so I decided to benefit from it.
I have attached an old, doggy atomizer to the connector and lightly drove it in just enough to put the terminal ring and the locknut on. Then with a plier I have started to undo the connector letting the nut rotate with it until the nut got stuck firmly and blocked any more movement. Then I just maintained this achieved tension between the nut and the case by holding the nut in place with a needle nose plier and drove the connector back in.
The result: I have needed quite a big plier and considerable torque to undo the atomizer or more properly the amorf remainder of the late atomizer from the connector which stayed rock solid and moved none.

To sum up:
I am a happy camper.

I believe the low charging rate is what you get from a standard 0.5 amp usb port. New usb c ports and high amp chargers will charge at a 1 amp rate. Some usb ports don't recognize the dna as accepting high currents and only charge at 0.5 amps. A high amp phone charger with a good cord (cords are very important, my dollar store cables only let me charge at ~0.3 amps) should give you a full amp of charging current.

Usb type C, yes, this is what I came here to say. It's easier to use compared to be current port and can handle power better and it looks like it'll become the new standard for a lot of electronic devices so it would be smart for Evolv to in the game when this happens.

Yes, I also wanted to ask about that too. I'm looking to get into temp control vaping too and the graphs can help find out more about time to reach temp or ramp time and how that works. Is it a variable of power alone? or the lower the resistance, the shorter the ramp up time too?
