They both work on the same principals (active switching power supply) so efficiency-wise, they should be similar. It can safely be assumed that they're both north of 90% efficient. While one may be more efficient than the other, it can't be by much.
Thanks for a common sense response instead of a crazed fanboy rant.

Why would anyone who apparently likes plastic, garage made box mods even come here and ask such a question? Not intending to be rude but I don't understand your need to post this here. Perhaps there is more to vaping then battery life eh?
I don't make plastic mods, I usually build my mods in torches. I recently pulled apart my Buzz and installed the electronics into an Indulgence so as to use 2 x 18350 batts. So, plastic mods are not my go to choice. The Evercool Tekk mod seems like great value for money and it takes a very careful hand not to destroy that Tekk case while modding it. At $80 premade it seems like it is worth the money to give it a go. Yeah, my first plastic mod.

When people start making Darwins in plastic cases for half the price will you be so adverse to plastic then?

LMAO, who's the fanboy? The guy that can read and understand the difference between twisting a screw to vary the voltage which will lead to inconsistent wattage across the same atty as you vape on it or even larger swings as you swap out one resistance for the next and a smart device that constantly measures those changes and adjusts itself to provide consistent wattage the entire time OR the guy that orders a mod from an actual modder thinking that makes him cool?

Don't throw stones if you don't have any.

In all seriousness though, is there a point to continuing to pollute the thread? The finished device isn't even on the market yet. Jumping into the thread with your earlier statement was pointless. Continuing to stir the pot is ridiculous. I'm sure we're all happy for you that you ordered a mod from a real modder. Let us watch the eVolv-ution (ha-ha) of the Darwin in peace.

You are obviously a fanboy. You change your atty or carto you are going to have to adjust your Darwin just the same as a VV mod. How does ordering a mod make someone cool? You sound deluded, I think you've been playing with your stones too much.

Ok, I'm done with this idiotic crap.

Read my posts, I'm not buying a Darwin. I am, however, interested in what it claims to do.

If you understood what we were discussing you'd realize that you DO NOT have to change your settings on the Darwin from atty to atty. The mod takes care of that for you. Find your wattage, Darwin, supposedly, does the rest. BTW, if you do make adjustments it is NOT THE SAME as turning a screw on a Tekk mod.

You may get the same wattage but that doesn't guarantee the correct setting, so you will probable have to tweak it anyway.I don't have a Tekk mod, I have a Mako with all accessories, plenty of torch mods I built myself, numerous other electronic mods I've built and my go to MegaBuzz mod and I set the voltage and I've never had to fiddle with it no matter what atty or carto I put on it. OK, on older cartos I may have to up the voltage but I usually toss them once they get to that stage. I don't think I will talk with you any longer as you are rude and obviously arguing just for the sake of it. And you aren't even going to buy one, what a laugh. Go play with your stones some more.

I'm not a moderator but these type of post should never be allowed along with a few other ones on here. Please check your anger and aggression at the door before you log on and have some class. Seriously there's is no reason to speak this way no matter how mad you are at someone on an INTERNET FORUM.
You are right, I apologize for that and hope that the other member does the same.

Well I apologized for my comments but it seems that the other member does not think he has any involvement in this matter. So Ill have to apologized for myself and let him take full credit for his misconduct in this matter. He can obviously live with his behavior no matter how wrong he is.

So Mutt and Jeff err I mean Angus, after a month of having the Darwin Prototypes do you find yourselves still using them or have you gone back to your other pv's? Has the magic worn off or is all still Disneyland? Just curious.

I second this, I would love to here more from the beta testers.

Same here, but would rather hear from users of the finished product.

I've betaed a few mods in my day, and a good modder will take the feedback and tweak the finished product. Accordingly, a beta tester may have an impression of a mod concerning a flaw or shortcoming that was subsequently fixed.

You are correct...When I received the unit I had a list of things that i liked and a list of things that I didnt like. The finished product now is way different than the units both me and Angus have received. Do I still like the original beta unit? yes and if that was the final product I would be happy with it. I did send mine back to Evolv ( I had the second revision on the board and now I believe that the final revision is #5) and do not know if I am receiving a replacement unit or if I will be in line to buy one. Will I buy one? yes.

Angus would probably be the better person to ask because as willy boy pointed out, I dont have a lot of experience with other devices. Angus has both the Buzz and the Darwin, and may have others, I dont know.

Thanks Mutt. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on a Darwin. It will be my first variable device so I'm pretty excited about it. I have a whole range of cartos and atties I use at various voltages on multiple devices. It'll be really cool to switch between them using just one device.

I know there are VV devices I could have bought before now but to be honest I really don't care for them much in function or styling.(although Notcigs new Infinity looks pretty cool and has a nifty thumb wheel)

The Darwin is a complete package. Ease of use, visual display,hard anodized and powerful LiPo batteries with an industry best warranty(for an electronic device) that I know of.

Ugh. I can't wait. Now I've gone and got myself all excited again.:laugh:
