DNA 200 Watt

[Clmarti78]

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.

That's what I was thinking it's like 3" by 2" by 1".... About of course. I want something I can can carry around all day in my pocket.

The only thing I was not liking on the vapor shark is the screen on the bottom of the device. Like I said in and out of a pocket might tear it up quickly.

Your probably right and In a perfect world I'd agree. But if there were a problem in the production line where the programming would have to be postponed or boards lying around in bins for days waiting to be programmed etc.. that could create a difference in the times or batches the boards were made vs time programmed. I'm sure Evolv has a way to track the revisions and exact batch dates of each board perhaps off the SN.

I guess I was hoping for something identifiable in the firmware or on the pcb like:
Board Rev. 200.1 200.2 200.3 etc..
Manufacture Date: 8/18/15
Initial Firmware load 8/19/15

Not really that important, I just was thinking it would be useful to be able to compare board revisions if problems arose.

You can get this functionality with the escribe software. Look here: Escribe Account and Login - DNA 200 Early Adopters Forum
You can get the exact build date.

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.

Reason it's all confusing for some is because everyone trying to compare a single cell setup to a multi cell setup. mAH simply isn't a good base of measure due to the different operating voltages. The 900mah rating is for the whole pack at 11.1 volts. They put 3 900mah hour battery's in there. If they were wired in parallel instead of series then you could describe it as 3.7 @ 2700mah. Hence the x3 you mentioned works.

What configuration is your 2200 lipo? If it's a 3s battery that runs at 11.1 then it will have around 2.5 times the capacity of a single 2600mah 18650.

Yup 2200mah 3S lipo 25C

but now I think about it.

wouldn't technically then a triple series 18650 have the exact same life as a lipo battery?

It it would probably be a tad bit less then a comparable 18650 setup. I believe Lipos have flatter discharge curves. They should go longer than a lithium-ion given the same mah. Three 2600mah 18650s in series would be same as a 2600mah 3s lipo. You don't add up the capacity. You add up voltage. Both would be considered a 28.8wH battery pack.

Well in that case a lipo isn't really better than 18650s since the wh is the same between both of them.

since the wh are the same there is no real benefit of using 3S lipos over triple series 18650s other than size and amp limit.

I can understand unregulated going with lipo's because of the much higher amp limit for them super low builds with a ton of power.

but since the dna only uses 23 amps at max it is perfectly fine for 18650s though its maxing out. hell dual 18650s are then a better option than a 2S lipo pack(especially now that LG is making that 3000mah 18650)

so using the wh a lipo and 18650 are the same, 18650(triple) is wider than a lipo and the amp limit on a lipo is higher though it doesn't really matter on the amp load the chip uses.

so unless the much higher amp limits give the lipo a much longer battery lifetime compared to 18650 I don't really see why people say a lipo is better.

Just posting to say I picked up LittUp Custom 44's for my wife and I earlier in the week. Great battery life (2000mAH Lipo: 22.2 Watt/Hours!). I've been extremely impressed with Evolv's software and the work that's been done so far. After a discussion with Ari Mouritades from Sweet Spot Vapors, I'm also looking forward to their device certification and testing results. Once it's done, it'll mean EXACT details on the resistance characteristics of each device, as well as providing custom TCRs for SweetSpot's TI wire.

As an aside, if you haven't tried SweetSpot's wire, I HIGHLY recommend it. I just did a couple builds for my wife and I and the TC builds were the easiest I've done over the last year. The .5mm wire was in the Goldilocks zone for building on my RDA: not too soft, not too stiff. Easy to build 4 compressed coils, 2 for each of our RDAs. Hers is an 8/9 compressed dual coil build that was wrapped around a 3mm mandrel. It ohmed out at .26! After wicking it and tasting the results, I had to throw a build for me onto a Marquis clone I had sitting. I did 6/7 wraps around a 3.5 mandrel for that and it ohmed out at .15. Both have great vapor production and exhibit NONE of the issues I'd seen with Ni200 (immediate Temp Protect, etc). If you've been thinking about getting some DO IT - it's worth it to get more than just a little, though. The shipping via USPS is a minimum of $5 for a small box that would easily hold 5 of the packages of 10' of wire.

I'm not too sure I can convince myself to spend over $1 a foot for wire.

Not cheap but not a buck a foot either.

That's what I'm using now with great results but I ordered some from else where (fasttech) for considerably less.
Who knows, might end up hanging pictures with it.

Would you consider fast tech to be a reliable source for ti wire?

Darkly spectr, the amp limit is higher on a LiPo because the internal resistance is lower which means less of the energy in the battery gets wasted turning into heat.

Not sure if im overlooking a thread or a post but this looks by far the best i seen yet from a mass producer.
Is it ok to link here?, just saw it on wall comming by, if dubble post sorry.

I have the one from FT that says grade 1 and it is super clean and works fine

wow...glued 510, chip help in place with tape.
what a piece of .....

 

[cjpeltz]

Yep. Todd @ ecigreviews also posted a review - tight 510 connection and finicky button. Think I'll pass on this one.

Darkly,

Thank you very much for the post!!!

I just cancelled my pre-order. I have enough headaches already. I don't know that I mind things glued in all that much (if it is properly glued) but a circuit board held in place with tape and a funky "Fire Button" is just not worth the the money they are asking.

Again thank you, I would have been as upset as "Fagan"... no, I would have been much more upset.
