But how many have those boards? There are hundreds of thousands of DNA40s that have shipped in mods and as stand alones. The failure rate is less than 5% according to Evolv.
according to Evolv less than 5 per 100 sold? I would believe it if there haven't been people with multiple boards failing. Some were as high as 5 out of 5 or 3 out of 4. All bought at different times. Heck, are you telling me I'm in the 5% of users that, not only had 1 issue but could reproduce ALL of them on a single board? I had the stuck down issue, the garbled issue, the battery meter jumping up and down issue, the OFF from C mode to 40W issue, you name the issue, I had it LOL
I have nothing against clones but you do need to shop smart and do your homework before buying. Sometimes I like to take one for the team and order early and post my experiences.
Obviously, that's why I knew what I was into when I ordered a original DNA40. I just hoped I would be part of the
supposed 95% issue free rate
Although I haven't tried a Yihi chipped mod, I can say the vape quality of a DNAxx mod is better than a clone. How much better is harder to quantify but I find myself using my DNA30 and rDNA40 everyday and will grab one of the clone mods when I get bored.
Oh you test a clone dna 40 to say that? Great. Tell me more about your first impressions
My rDNA40 was received just before thanksgiving and has been flawless since. And I've tried to get it to glitch with every known condition from the VS DNA thread. It is everything I've been looking for in a mod. There is nothing I would do to change it. Small size, spring loaded 510 pin, magnetic battery door, 18650, comfortable buttons.
I'm sure its perfect and all I can say, lucky you. Although I seem to love temp control, as you know, mine hasn't been without quirks. Maybe some might be my own fault, its a homebrew mod afterall but others are clearly a board defect. Some bugs don't appear to be completely random so I'm not quite sure it's all a matter of luck. Some bugs will never be seen by some users. If I lived in a Fahrenheit country, all I would have ever see would have been the garbled display problem. I would have never seen the other issues that I was having while in C mode.
