All over the place
Rip Trippers just released a post on FB about the dna 200. I thought Evolv wasn't into high wattage chips?

That was before when they were the only one and had no competition!

Mr. Busardo has some additional information about the dna 200 board here: Taste Your Juice | Can I Taste Your Juice?
I can't cut and paste any of his text so you will have to read it on his page.
It sounds like a great modders board. I am looking forward to seeing what it really can do and what coefficients are user settable. I can't wait for that coop to go live.

I just want more info on what is going to be required for batteries, really hope it can run lower power on single or double 18650's because 3 18650's or a 3s lipo (with some mah) is not exactly small.

The pics of the beta mods don't make it look huge, wonder what the actual dimensions/specs of those are.

Interesting times indeed...

I will not buy another dna device ever unless it's firmware upgrade able... I had 6 total non working dna40 devices that needed sending back

Yes it will be and 200 watts w temp control.They are playing catch up now with 200 watts and upgradable software. That's a good thing.

To address this ... this is revisionist history, actually. Evolv's boards have been the most powerful on the market at release the great majority of the time.
The exception was the 40 which introduced the entirely new concept of TP.

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! :)

At this point Evolv should let the cat completely out of the bag. All this speculation sucks! I'm a big fan of Evolv and there products but right now with the info available I'm not impressed :( 200 watts, Don't need all that! Lipo battery don't need or want that, 3 18650's What! don't need a big brick to carry around, Firmware updatable ok, nice but not really a game changer Suport for different wire? does this mean TC with kanthol? or what does it mean? Guess we will have to wait for a full explanation hope it's better than it sounds so far.

Because some of us would rather have a battery vent than explode.

We all have 18650's and chargers now. Don't need to start all over with lipo's and for what? 200 watts we don't need!
I'm pretty sure you'll need to buy lipo packs and charge them in the mod as they're 11v (3S). If you build a mod for 18650's, you'll need at least 3.

I agree about the 200w but the other features are intriguing.

Thats one of my pet peeves no replaceable battery I don't want to wait around while my mod charges I want to swap and go:)
I know you can swap lipo's but I all ready have 18650's and a charger.

Battery safety is all ready a problem Now we want to carry one of these around?


That video is from 2008. Lipos are no more dangerous than LiIon (18650's).

I have enough mods that I can wait for one to charge while I vape with another one. It is nice to be able to replace the battery though.

Maybe the video is little dated, still scares the heck out of me. I have many mods too thats not the point. I'm not going to buy all new lipo batteries for 200 watts I don't need or want. I expect better from Evolv. TC gave us no burnt wicks this is big! and well worth updating for. Now tell me why I'm going to update to the 200 watt? Were's the big new innovation?
like I posted before we need the full story on the new chip, Speculation sucks :(

Re the 200W, I agree that at first glance it sounds odd - who needs 200W, especially for TC? My gut feeling, especially with SuckMyMod's comment above, is where it becomes interesting is in the pre-heat. You set the mod to 150W or whatever it can do in TC (maybe 200 even), and that gives a very brief but very powerful blast to the coil to get it almost instantaneously at-temp, almost no ramp up time at all. From there it drops the wattage right down to normal TC levels to maintain that.

Yes...a veeery interesting theory.

Would explain why Evolv made a 200W board.
