DNA 200 Watt

[BobC]

I think the point is, very few will approach 100W let alone 200W, and the chip with its 3S requirement just about eliminates it as a squonk engine. Sure there are and will be many more BF devices with the chip, but with the size requirements of a 3S power pack, these devices are too large for the average squonker's liking.

That said, I have the chip for prototyping, and love what it provides, and I'm pretty sure this is Evolv's first entry with these features and more options will be presented in the not too distant future

Agree... they could come up with any number of things....the DNA200 is what it is.... I think very flexible, adjustable, and with many user defined choices. I currently am happy with 380F@ 25 watts with preheat set to 50 watts. I don't need 200 watts but future coil wire and builds just might require high watt preheat and low current after preheat to maintain temp? Who knows?

I think we all have a "wish list" for that perfect device. I guess mine would be an automatic adjusting temperature controlled device with pre-programmed e-liquid specifications that tailor the vape to the correct temperature to get the best flavor out of the specified e-liquid. If only the e-liquid makers could say what temperature is best for their juice to get the best flavor/vapor.

I'm hoping that becomes a natural result of TC just becoming more and more a part of how regulated mods work. Not as something you need to set or think about. Or having it interfere with our vaping experience. Just as a background protector against dry hits and burning. We have a ways to go yet, but I'm hopeful.

Four months warranty for an electronic device that costs $250? Are people ok with this...?

People in the US are used to short term warranties.

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...

Steam Monkey has a preorder for a Vero DNA 200 that is configured to use replaceable li-on 18650 batteries

$200 for an ugly 3D printed mod? Wow.

phew, wicked ugly color options, lol.

I calculate about 3 hours for one 2500 mAh 18650. My mods cut out at about 3.4v, I vape at around 30w (and 450f on nickel, 360f on titanium). Those three hours are for a worst case scenario with me chain vaping, but I tend to do that when bored, sitting in a car or walking somewhere. I'm afraid that a mod with a built in lipo, in an acceptable size (I like smaller mods), won't cut it for me (particularly if I'm out playing with the band). I did just order an Evic VT, but that was cheap. I'll most likely wait for a future Evolv chip, with the functionality of the DNA200 but with a more limited wattage range, that takes a single (or maximum two) battery. Being able to switch out the battery is important to me.

i concur

thats why the dna200... although its an awesome chip... i dont like to run outa juice 1/4 or 1/2 the way, especially if i go drinking... thats a 10pm to 6am marathon... and non stop vaping

that is one ugly mod lol

Im hoping vaporflask comes up with something nice

I wouldn't argue the aesthetics but it's the only DNA200 with replaceable batteries that I've seen for sale. Has Flask or any other mod manufacturer announced intentions of offering a DNA 200 with replaceable batteries.

 

[druckle]

I think the Vapor Flask folks have said that they wanted to keep their current form factor and the DNA 200 config. was one of the reasons they decided to move to the Yihi 350 J board.

 

[Monoxxide]

I saw Tartos (By VC) makers had some dna200 boards that arived.
Their original dna40 idea/design mod looks perfectly setup for the dna200 isnt it, uses 3x 18650.
Way to small company to feed all us hungry dogs to lol

 

[johnlikestovape]

Why are people so anti li-po pack? They far outperform comparable mah imr's, in both amp draw and life. I use an 800 mah pack in my variant that lasts longer then my 2400 mah 18650s at the same wattage, and it can run 200 watts safely.... Embrace the li-pos, they are a good thing!
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.

my personal concern with the lipo pack is that i'm used to carrying around an extra 18650 or two. so if my battery's voltage gets too low i could swap it out regardless of where i am. however if the dna200s have lipos, if my mod dies out on me, i have to run to charge it in the middle of my day.

do you have any problems with lipos dying out on you in the middle of the day? just curious about your experiences

So far not impressed with the battery options for dna200, i blow thru 6x 18650s a day... Thats close to 15,000 total mahs, of course i dont drain it completely (down to 3.70 usually) Compared to a 1300 3s lipo (3900mah supposedly) its nothing... I wont even make it past 12pm without charging it already

And Yes i know they are swappable but how are you going to charge it externally ? So that defeats the purpose of the swap, its a bigger hassle than 18650s simply because u need to eventually put it back in to recharge it

Hoping for a 3x 18650 dna mod , if not maybe i will get it anyway

There is a modder on reddit selling 3x18650 dna 200 mods that actually look pretty good and because of the design isnt bulky like you would imagine it to be. Just go to reddit.com/u/lolerwaffles and look through his submitted post for the listing and pics.

 

[smokewell]

Both 3d printed boxes look similar to me. Both look worse than what a good home 3d printer would produce for less than 1 euro PLA cost. My ultimaker produces better quality than that but I would not even think that is acceptable for selling. Design something and send it to shapeways for printing. 200 for extrusion PLA print my ...

Here you are very wrong. When batteries are connected in series their voltage is higher (ie 11.1 V) but their mAh stays the same, if you are using 3x 3.7V 2500 mAh batteries, when they are connected in series you get 11.1V and 2500 mAh
If they are connected in parralel you get 3.7V and 7500 mAh

He is not wrong there. He appropriated all batteries/ cell.
E.g he calculated 1300 lipo as 3900mah equivalent etc.
But like I said, his 3.7 cutoff means that he is not even close to his batteries' nominal capacity which can be reached discharging them below 3V/cell IMO
Besides, your math is wrong as 3×2500 paralel will give you 7500mah.
And just for clarity, 3×2500 will indeed give you 2500mah but on a regulated device your discharge amp will be the third. Roughly.

 

[RainZG]

He did just that, but that is wrong in terms of comparison of DNA200 vs DNA40/DNA30/Yihi350.
If you went thru the day on dna40 with 2x18650 2500mAh you would do the same with 6x18650 2500mAh on DNA200.

And in terms of mAh that is apsolutly the same thing.

Sorry but wrong
See my edited post above.
Or, using Brandon's (I guess) simple explanation: on a regulated device it is the power you need to look at
I.e you need 10W input
On 10V constant voltage you will have 1A draw. For an hour it is 1000mah
If you have 20 V input e.g. 2x10V CV supplies in series it means 0.5A draw.
Means 500mah for each supplies. Means they will last 2 times longer as if they were paralel.
In other word: for a regulated device, capacity wise doesn't really matter if series or paralel. DC/DC conversion, boost etc efficiency is another question
