Isn't it nice that they already have such a good product to fall back on?

BTW I believe they have stated that fitting everything on the DNA20 sized pcb was tough with the DNA40.
You say that you believe they said it but you don't know that they did. Can you please send me a reference Sir?

I will admit that the new board is interesting and will probably get a device with it once all the bugs are worked out. The big question is how many boards are going to fail in the first release?

Not really worried about size or how many batteries it gonna take. Some device maker will make it as small as possible. What I truely care about is ease of use. Dont get me wrong i think its great you can plug into to your computer and get data and change settings. Most people like things simple because of life on the go life style. Can anybody comment on the ease of use?

Thanks. So the next question is, how hard would it be to simply implement the programming into the dna 40 to allow tc with different wires? Also the ability to use this board with 1 18650 battery at a lower wattage. I can understand the reason behind the size. It's about the same size as the sx350j. I know that this is currently in beta so they might be able to implement this in different battery choices. Well, hopefully anyways.

Just to burst your "Evolv are gods bubble"; the dicodes board is very small (and the Proteus soon even smaller). Also making a good product is not putting every available option on it, in fact it's the opposite. I'd mention the Apple vs Samsung analogy but that would derail this thread.

Generally it operates like a DNA40.

You better hope that the evolv gods didn't read this or they'll jumble the screen on every mod you own.

that i don't know. i guess it would depend on whether they are content to just do that or if they want to push the envelope as they usually do.

You can't own a proteus. Nothing will ever compare to the vaporware greek mods. :rolleyes:

How many watts can those boards push into an atty? There are physical limits on the power density that's achievable with state-of-the-art electronics. Personally, I don't agree with the Evolv's decision to do 200W (and thereby necessitate a much larger board and a 3S battery) but I figure the rest of what they're doing in the DNA200 (which is primarily software) will eventually filter down into a smaller product suitable for more mainstream devices.

Dicodes deserves some respect because they're actually shipping product. The Greek guy, not so much; he's still hawking vaporware. In fact, at this point, I'd speculate that maybe a year ago, Evolv originally planned to introduce TC with this high-powered board (where it's really needed) but were forced into releasing it early in the DNA40 at least in part by that Greek's vaporware announcement and his equally dubious noise about patenting TC.

Just dropped in to leave a bit more information but this thread has derailed.... sad.... will open a new thread when the DNA200 and software is released....
Take it for what it is, suggestions to evolv (mainly an ability to use only one 18650.) That should be easy right? If evolv does allow more options for different markets on one chipset, they would be more profitable. This seems like it's what a lot of people want. I like where hana modz is going with their new mod allowing the user to use 1 battery, 2 batteries and even maybe 3. Options options options, one mod to do it all.

Um, it's not exactly a secret. Brandon has talked about it in interviews.
Just noticed. I obviously haven't seen the video until now. But as mentioned before, dicodes has a very small board that does tc in many different wire types. They also have very many different features that I like. This is what leads me to believe that Evolv can do it.

I don't know near as much of the history as you guys, but I've always viewed evolv as a leader in innovative products and I'm glad to hear they are planning to kick some ... in the TC wars. The fact that they are an American company is a huge plus too.

Sounds like the Dani 2380 may be the best mod for you, then. It certainly appears to be an outstanding device.

It is. I was just hoping for an updated board that I can put in my WAEII and replace my dna40. All I want is to have the ability to do tc without ni200. I vape at 15 watts anyways. So until evolv does come out with a slimmer version I'll still use my dna40 with kanthal and enjoy it like I've always had. :vapor:

I think that Ros is correct.

Does anybody know where the "DNA70" terminology came from?

I've seen it posted in a couple threads....is this another future project?

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.
