Got an email from VS. Very interesting stuff for those of us still waiting.
rDNA 40 UPDATE!
Firstly, we deeply appreciate your patience through the challenges we’ve faced during the production of our rDNA 40. As you may know, the issue was identified as faulty screens and a quality control issue at a third party circuit board supplier. Evolv has now corrected this issue with a new batch of circuit boards and a new detachable screen.
Here at Vapor Shark we have been working proactively to increase production levels with Evolv and we are finally getting out of the weeds! Aside from beginning to get caught up, we brainstormed ways to make the best of a difficult situation…and more importantly, how that translates into something tangible for our customers.
Just because we were dealt a production setback doesn’t mean that we stopped innovating. Now we’re making your rDNA 40 even better than expected...so here’s a little surprise for you guys.
Your rDNA 40s will come with previously unannounced improvements... extra goodies! Rather than waiting to unveil an updated version of our device, we’ve added some new and improved features. Your rDNA 40 will now come equipped with:
Larger Screen: The numbers and characters in this new format are 30% larger (the new version runs at 128 x 32 pixels v.s. 96 x 16 in previous versions).
Zip Charge: As the name implies, your rDNA 40 will now zip through the charging process in less than half the time of previous models!
Zip
Reverse Polarity Buzzer: When inserting your battery the wrong way, not only does this device boast reverse polarity protection, but it will beep until the battery is inserted correctly.
We can’t wait to get these in your hands! We know you’ll be quite pleased as your rDNA 40s begin to arrive in early January. All orders currently processing will ship within the next few weeks. No more backorders!
We are currently in production with this upgraded rDNA 40 model and we’ll send your tracking number as we begin shipping.
Thanks again for your understanding, your patience and your business.
