Except the USB port doesn't put out 11.1 volts.
The charger will probably drop the supplied 5v to 4.2 at 1 amp, divided by 3 cells is 333mah per cell. So the charger is putting out close to its advertised 1 amp. If the charger was only putting out 400mah they wouldn't advertise it as 1 amp.
The DNA200 on-board charger is up to 1 A on the USB side. The easiest way to think about it is divide the Wh of the battery pack by 5 W (+ 10-20% for final CV stage of charging) for the charge time.

To dear you, who may intend to get #VTbox200 from group buy, we can understand it may save some dollars, however, there is no after-sale service for group buyers.
We officially refuse group buy, except those small countries with no retailer, we do our best to avoid group buy, but still some guys bypass rules.
Friendly advice: please buy [HASHTAG]#VTbox200[/HASHTAG] from formal store and website, which ensure you good after-sale service and offer you valid warranty.

Sounds like the display ribbon may have gotten between the button and the onboard switch. Hana mods have done this also. Easy fix and Protovapors has excellent customer service. Give them a shout out on the issue.
Thanks, but that's not my video. The owner has written in the description of the video that he has contacted Protovapor and the issue is being addressed by them.
pro-tip.
if using a triton coil and your dna 200 happens to be in TC(which happened to me since I was letting it charge and the mod restarted) make sure to turn TC off.
Came upstairs and put my herakles with the triton coil in there. the mod was in TC because I rebooted the device last night before going to bed.
And since the stainless steel DOES change resistance the mod doesn't jump out of TC
so bam 0.3 triton bombarded with 200 watts from the pre-heat. talk about dry burned hit yo.
changed it back to power mode and it's fine. I am HONESTLY surprised the coil is still fine since that was like a second and half of 200 watts.
my throat hurts

THX for pointing out the update put in the description of the video. Will post the update here so others can see without needing to run the video from youtube:
UPDATE: So, I've spoken with Protovapor, and they have emailed me a return shipping label, 1-Day USPS postage, paid by them. Awesome on their part! Also, I've talked with another purchaser of the device (they have serial number 2012, I have serial number 2010, so it's extremely likely they were made in the same exact batch), and they haven't experienced any issues with the button after several hours of use, and aren't experiencing any sort of button tilt. That's great news, as I don't want anyone to run into this very frustrating issue. If you do purchase this mod and run into any issues, please let me know by sending a message or commenting on this video.
Today, we discuss my first impressions of the Protovapor XPV DNA-200D, a DNA 200 device from Protovapor (as the name of the device implies). Spoiler alert: my first impressions aren't top-notch.
I must note that after starting the upload of this video (11:57 PM at the time I typed this, just a couple of hours after recording), I have contacted Protovapor. They emailed me a return mailing label to send in the device. Here is what they said:
"Sorry for the problem, that is definitely not right and the button should be free and clicky. Please send the mod back to us and we will get it fixed and turned around back to you ASAP. "
Their customer service was very fast to respond, even at this late hour on the west coast. So that's definitely a thumbs-up in my book. I will report back in a later video documenting the repair process and my experience therein.
I purchased this mod direct from Protovapor.com for $189 USD.
Good tip! I've had this happen a few times with my Crown stainless coils...talk about a whole lot of nasty!
I'm only asking this because I've not used those coils, or tried any SS yet for that matter, and am curious - why wouldn't you just use SteamEngine to create a TCR curve for the SS, load it in a profile and use TC?
Mostly because this was an accident and honestly as far as I know we don't know the exact type/blend of stainless steel wire the triton coils use so we can't have a perfect TCR. plus judging from steam engine 316 stainless only have a temperature sensitivity of like 17% so honestly is it even worth it?
316 L tcr runs them without problems was vaping them in wattage to, only just uploaded it to my opus after seeing landman his comment. Much better then in wattage mode when used to temp mode.

so if I get it right just click 316 on steam-engine(using the old TCR calculator since the new one gives me a headache) and just copy what appears onto the dna in a profile right?
Not sure about old/new i just hit steam engine tcr in google and used first link. Pick 316L, download file and up it to DNA.
*edit
Damn, thanks for mentioning that Landman, i didnt even think about that either.
I was enjoying the triton on wattage already but now this might become my favorite prebuild coil/tank for lazy times. I vaped 3 tanks bonedry already since upped that tcr, luckely im vaping self mixed stuff these days. Not aiming for clouds but its so foggy in here now, think you can smell the strawberrie at end of the street.
