DNA 200 Watt

[Monoxxide]

Thicker wire or material composition effect the rampup time, im far from a expert on that to lol.
Thats kinda basic so i guess im right on that one, the more metal it needs to heath up the longer the ramp up time is, wich you can counter on the dna200 with that awesom preheat thing up to 200 watt.
Nichrome heats up faster then kanthal to for example if i remember correct from my mech days?
So i bet there is a difference between NI and SS in ramp up time to.
To it doesnt realy matter that much with the adjustable pre heat option, just set it to your liking.

Why I'm asking is because for me it matters for battery life because longer ramp time as well as more power used during the rest of the draw- temp limiting-, might equal more Wh consumed. If we look for example at nickel and stainless steel, a 6/5 wrap, spaced, on a 2mm bit of 28awg SS is 0.55 ohms and takes 1.81A current per volt, mass 35 mg. The same setup for Ni200 would be 0.06 ohms and take 15.2A current per volt, mass 39.75 mg. The numbers are from the wire wizard at steam engine. I don't understand how much heat flux per watt and heat capacity influence here, although they are almost equal values, I don't know how to interpret that. Maybe I'm looking at this wrong too or leaving out other relevant factors. But just from comparing these current for volt values it can easily be assumed that the same battery would discharge faster when vaping the nickel setup, even if both setups use the same amount of wire mass.

Usb type C, yes, this is what I came here to say. It's easier to use compared to be current port and can handle power better and it looks like it'll become the new standard for a lot of electronic devices so it would be smart for Evolv to in the game when this happens.

Honestly there are plenty of chargers that give higher amps.

Hell the vaporshark rDNA 40 charges at 2 amps and I have two chargers and a portable battery that charges at 2 amps. I use a USB cable that has build in lights that speed up depending on the power put through it. charging with that zip charging goes double the speed as using the same charger as the DNA200. honestly the fact that the DNA 200 doesn't charge at 2 amps is a major con. If you have a battery that is pretty much non-removable (in most mods) then you need a really fast charging option.

sure one amps is maybe pretty speedy for 900mah lipos but for mods with 1500-2000+mah batteries it's gonna take quite some hours to charge it.

The moment my mod dies well I can't use it for atleast 3-5 hours(didn't really count I let it charge overnight).

I personally think that the DNA 200 should of had the standard 1 amp with a setting in escribe for 2 amps. most lipos can easily handle 2 amps without blowing up.

Now on me using the mod.

I finally was able to use the mod for pretty much the whole day. it died around 9-10 PM starting from midday. battery life is indeed about the same or slightly more than my two sets of 25rs.

The biggest difference I noticed was in power output. I was using a dripper at 100 watts and when the DNA died I put it on my sigelei 150. same settings but the sigelei felt very underpowered. like 10-20 watts under what the DNA was doing.

I will probably either buy a small DNA 200 mod or a IPV3 LI to deal with the downtime of my big boy box.

DNA comes with 200 watt preheat from the jump, right?

Yes.

The soft/hard setting isnt maxxed out if you have no PC close and like/hope everything is maxxed out from the get go.

Anyone have a suggestion on batteries for an 18650 DNA133 that should be generally ran around 70 watts with a 85 watt preheat? Generally, the coil I am running will jump down to about 40-45 watts to maintain temperature. I am currently looking at the LG HG2 and Samsung 30Q, however, I have heard that these batteries, while they have extra capacity, may not do as well at higher wattages. Is this true or will I be okay at the wattages I am using it at (with occasionally bumping it up to 120 watts)? Thanks!

Nobody with a new DNA200 mod? Anyone receive a Vaporshark yet?

There's literally a thread dedicated to the VS a few topics down with a few people who own the Vs and even some video reviews. Did you not see that?

You could run the Sony VTC5's since they've come back in stock. They're 30A rated, compared to the LG's 20A but at the cost of some mAh. I've not looked into the 30Q specs.

What's too good to be true, the price? I like the mod but only if they have spare batteries for sale immediately, otherwise what's the purpose of having the batt detachable. However, I thinks it's a better choice than my purchase of the VTbox200.

I would be VERY interested to hear from anyone who gets one of these in hand. I would like to be surprised.

Of the four Hotcig DNA's I have had not one functioned up to spec (DNA 30).

The whole package & price. Of course that assumes that the batteries and LiPo charger will be available. But who knows it just made the printed page today. And you know the Chinese as clever as they are have never seen fit to higher English speaking advertisement folks or any other language for that matter. He!! even their pictures lose something in the translation and that is pretty hard to do.

Will you be able to charge this trough USB to?
I gonna have to find a USA/EU connector for that balance charger, so want to be sure you just can charge that one trough usb to, dont see why not?
125 bux is to stupid to not grab it as a backup.

I would think the USB port is functional. When you connect the battery to the DNA you plug the charging connector into the DNA board but who knows wouldn't be the first time I have made a bad assumption.

But you are correct for a $125 bucks you are getting the same thing everyone else is charging close to $200 for.

I ordered one, unless I acquire a second battery pack for it when available I doubt if I'll ever use the supplied external charger.
It comes with a USB cable also that is used for data as well as charging via the USB port.

 

[AtmizrOpin]

Speaking of batteries and charging , about how long would a 900 mah Lipo take to charge on the DNA with a 2 amp wall wart?

 

[VapingBad]

It will only draw an amp @ 5 V so 5 W, 2 hours to almost full, a bit longer for balancing and CV stage.

Well, I have dug a bit deeper. It appears this will use a genuine evolv chip. If true my prior experience with Hotcig is irrelevant.

The question then becomes will it be recognized by eScribe.

I am with you on swapping the battery...
