Thanks monoxxide (insert quote button by the quick reply box, review and approve to insert), lemme know if you want to sell itM / kidding ...or am I!


Has there been any reveal on what the features are for computer connectivity / customization? I keep reading it will be able to do so much with customization on the computer (and complaints from Mac users) but I have no idea how useful any of the customizations would be, if at all

I have other boxes. I even have other temp control right now, the evic, which is number two and I'm trying to return.

I ultimately would like two good temp boxes, a dual for home use for use with a larger tank and a more portable option...but with triple acdf coming up and now working much, it would be silly. If it was three months ago I would have tried he istick just for a tiny one (it's $30 and it MUST use the same tech as the evic) but I swore off joytech / eleaf / whatever name they use this month because I can't keep giving money to a company who screws their customers with giddy abandon

The DNA200 is a whole different world then what exists today H00ligan, for more info on customization etc. go here:

And I thought I had a problem with 6ml of 18mg per day...

Good to know there are people with bigger issues than me [emoji14]

I used to be a 18mg vaper to for along time and vape like 6ml or so, no intentions of lowering my nic. Then the sub ohm tank things came around and got caught in to that, made me switch to 6mg. Guess thats why i cant let my mod sit for 10 minutes now. Would like to go back to 18 mg since i dont realy vape sub ohm (as in the way of deep straight lunghits) anymore but its so harsh for me now, even 12mg is realy harsh on a normal mouth to lung inhale while i never had that feeling before i lowered my nic.

My mutation x at 60w will make me cough my lungs out but my erlp at 20w works great.

I rather vape less with more nic than suck on the mod all day long :)

Well you're using less juice with higher nic and less hits and that's a + for the budget.
I'm doing 12mg and vaping less than 6 ml/day and I'm happy there.
I tried 6mg nic and it just wasn't cutting it probably because I'm strictly a tootle puffer. :)

Granted, that better battery life just started happening now which is strange but I can swear the battery had a break in period or something where the first couple of charges I went through it in a lot less time (again might just be my usage or properly setting the watt hours, who knows). What I can say is the battery life is definitely better than an IPV Mini which has a max of 30 watts and runs on one of my trusty Samsung 25R 18650s but far (not too far though) from the battery life of the IPV with dual 18650s.

Yeah, lipos do have a break in period, around 3 cycles or so.

Some rc lipo chargers have a built in cycle feature for new batteries and old batteries you want to try and regenerate, that charge and discharge 3 times.

I recently switched from 1 mg to 0.5 mg. Could easily cut out nicotine altogether but I want to keep some for the positive effects. I do go through an insane amount of liquid though, but it's not due to the nicotine level I think.

Where do you get 1mg or .5 mg liquid? Is it DIY, local store, or elsewhere? I wouldn't mind going down from 3mg.

I diy. You could buy some liquid of the lowest nic concentration you can find, and more bottles of the same liquid with zero nic, and mix to the right concentration. I've also found that some liquids can handle dilution quite well so you could try mixing with pure vg or pg.

Actually I'm not saving anything. It's diy so more VG becomes negligible in the whole thing. Maybe I'll cut down to 12 and see if I can handle it without vaping non stop [emoji14]

Started at 36...down to 28 and some 20...trying to get to 18 just so I get better flavor. But still at only 6ml a day.
I feel lucky that I've started vaping for the fun of it in the middle of a classic quitting process ( nic patch etc to provide nic, vape to provide fun)
As a result, I basically use nic (3mg ATM) to limit me vaping (15+ ml) as on 0mg I was vaping even more:)

P.S.: I really dont like my 15+ml/day figure and blame new generation tanks:) Same vaping habit on KFs meant 5+ml, than Orchids etc went above 10 and now this..

OMG! I NEED the lego istructions for this!

I'd be happy to post some more detailed pictures. Which angles do you think you will need?

There are a few less common parts that might be hard to find, including at least 2 full height 1x1 bricks with a horizontal hole (they are adjacent, for the up/down buttons, so a 1x2 with 2 holes will work as well). Also a transparent 2 wide, 3 high window piece is needed for the screen. I am using a red colored piece here, which is why the screen shows up orange.

The DNA 200 doesn't have much we can compare with Vaping wise to put into words.

I'm also a car guy, so what comes to mind is that the escribe software is a lot like custom aftermarket fuel injection management software for a racecar, along with "in flight" recording and a chassis dyno for your mod.

I had to make the same decision, I had been gifted the money for an SX Mini and planned to order it when I got REALLY lucky and saw a DNA 200 in person. I figured that if I got the DNA 200 and regretted it, in 3 to 4 weeks and decided to sell it, I could recoup my money. And if I did it the other way around, the SX Minis would be flying out of people's hands, and depreciated some in price both new and used.

I'm SO glad I got the DNA 200, I knew what I had dreamed of with my "unicorn" as far as real time PC monitoring and customization, but I had no idea this DNA would do so much, be so far developed and polished, and also have such great performance.

Now software and tech stuff aside, when you pick up a mod with this chip, totally stock and default, the damn thing just vapes amazing. Even Kanthal at high wattage vapes like a luxury sports car, like how my DNA 30 just felt so good a year and a half ago or so. But it's 200 watts and puts out every bit it promises.

I like the new message about "old coil, new coil" in the pre-released firmware (2015-07-16 ). I guess I should do the swap thing on the up and down buttons as I have reversed the screen. I'm still holding it with the screen away from me and firing with index finger.

Its a nice chip, but without the ability to swap out batteries can be a deal breaker for me... I would have to charge the dna 200 at least twice a day and leave it overnight to meet my vaping needs...

Until they come out with a swappable option (3x 18650).. I might have to opt for the cloudmaker sx mod or snow wolf... Jus my opinion tho...
