DNA 200 Watt

[JamieZ4M]

Personally I wouldn't worry too much about possible hardware revisions, in the unlikely event of an actual physical fault then you can return it.
I don't have a lot of disposable income to splash on mods, but as soon as I heard of the dna200 I ordered a chip, built my mod and didn't look back. It's been my primary mod for about 5 weeks now.
Just buy it lol.

I'm having a difficult time refraining from pre-ordering a Hcigar DNA200, I'm going to have to not, no , no ,no

Those folks solved my problem. I got the notice that the price was $174 or whatever rather than the $117 that was listed when I signed up for their notification that the mod was on sale. I know Vapor Joes had a link that was good for a few minutes at the lower price but I didn't see that in time.

At $174....and still fuming over their speedy price switch I'm happy to wait and see what the competition will be offering. I'm sure there will be a lot of it and I have my trusty DNA 200 primary mod to keep me happy till the time comes when I'm not (happy)

Druckle when I went to the site the $117 was for the silver mod, the black and blue mods came up $174.

Edit: yea they changed that

Saw this:

A new calculator that makes it easier to get TCR profiles for mixed builds has been "officially" released by Steam Engine.

The old calculator will still be available.

Wish i could solder, this guy in italy sells nice kits for dual 18650s, well atleast look like its well made.
Hope some dual 18650s be ready available somewhere soon.

 

[Darkly spectr]

ah man. vapor shark is still being shady.

oh their lipo rating isn't in mah. It's in watt hours. Which is still accurate but man do I get the strongest feeling that they are just doing it to hide the fact that they are using a 900mah battery while there are now cheaper DNA 200 mods that have 1000+mah lipos.

It's hard to advertise battery capacity on the 3s Lipos to the general customers that don't know any better. Would you buy a 900 mah 18650?

Took a quick look at this and almost bought it. Then I put everything on paper and price of mod would be higher then Lavabox. So still waiting for that one to come out

 

[Monoxxide]

Didnt look at price yet, is lavabox thing making a dual 18650 to?

Wh is really a better way of saying it for the common person. A 2600mah 18650 is 9.62 Wh and a 900mah 3s lipo is 10Wh. It makes it easier to compare battery run time.

I literally know nobody in my 27 years of being in this world that referred to "wh" everybody uses mah. But in a way I guess it makes more sense to have a watt hour rating but they really need to explain it. Because you know people will just use a convertor and be all like "what? Only 900mah" without knowing WHAT it means.

so my 2200 mah lipo is 24 Wh? so it technically it is more than double a 2600mah battery?

mmm considering I use up about 5000 mah of battery I guess it should mean I will be able to have a full day of vaping.


Huh so I guess that mah rating X 3 does work for lipo vs 18650 afterall.

 

[soulseek]

Watt hours is used quite often and makes more sense. Just because you may have been using one rating it doesn't mean you have to keep using it.

 

[jfb7]

Watt hours has many advantages.

(1) If you know your average mWh per puff, you can estimate how many puffs you'll get on a battery.
(2) You can estimate charging time. USB is 5V, so a laptop port is always 2.5W, DNA's 1A charger is nominally 5W, and a 2A charger is nominally 10W. 10W charger? 10Wh battery, an hour. In reality it takes longer (efficiencies, cable losses, Constant Voltage portion of the charge, etc.) but a good estimate. If the chargers were quoted in Watts (many on Amazon are), there you go.
(3) You can estimate the "C" charge rate. On a 10Wh battery, 5W is 0.5C. (Nominal. At low battery, it's a higher amount of C.) If there are three batteries in parallel, each receives one third of the current. If there are three battery cells in series, the total voltage is three times as high, so after step-up, a third of the current to each again. This works in both arrangements.
(4) You vape at 40W? 10Wh is (10Wh)/(40W)=0.25 hours continuous.
and on and on. Everything is cleaner and easier in Wh.

Inertia is the only reason to stick with mAh. If the battery packs start to be quoted in Wh, then no conversions will be needed any more.
Also, Darkly spectr: Wh is used. My laptop battery is rated 74 Wh. So, it's a good brick to recharge about seven times?

Yeah, that $170 mark is a good place to be at.

 

[Clmarti78]

Any feelings on the vapor shark shipping on Monday? Thinking of picking that one up. Probably have to wait for an extra week or so due to the late ordering I'll end up being on the waiting list for the second or third roll out

 

[alistairs]

I've had great luck with previous vaporsharks. I have rDNA30 and two 40s, they are my daily drivers. No problems on any of them except the fire button stuck on the 30 after a year of daily use. $25 dollars to fix under their Diagnostic service including labor, part, and return shipping.

So I ordered the DNA200 Shark the first day and hoping to get it this week. Apart from the dependability and easy service, it is the size that wins for me. I really like the compact design with the 510 directly above the fire button.

Have you guys heard of whiteout by cloudmaker? I thought it looks like an interesting mod when it comes out. Around $200

Do you mean https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/threads/cloudmaker-whiteout.677012/ ?
Hmm I better check where they are at now.
