First of all a BIG thanks to Retird for bring some facts, from a reliable source, about this new product early in this thread to provide a coherent focus to the discussion. I think without that, this thread would have spun totally out of control. Well done Retird!
That being said, I think Evolv really is set to make the next big jump in vaping devices with the DNA200. I said I would never buy another Evolv product if they didn't have firmware upgrading about a month and a half ago, and it looks like that's no longer a worry. Couple bug fixing and product enhancement with upgradability to all the new features this newest offering seems to be bringing to the market and I'm very excited about this release. Judging by the beta mod pictures, the mod really looks pretty much the same size as a an IPV4. So while bigger than a single battery mod, the size looks quite nice to me.
While 200watts is a power level that is far above my vaping needs, I have no problem having more power than I need. At least it won't be like my Provari that I really like but has been relegated to my vaping museum because it no longer fits my vaping needs due to lack of power to fire my favorite atties.
I will be very closely monitoring this new board's release from a modder's perspective and to see how new products from current manufacturers turn out. And I'm really looking forward to the computer interface for this board. To say that I'm excited would be a gross understatement. Bring it on Evolv, this is a definite buy in my future.
