hasn't the mantra of the Evolv fanboys always been that no one needs more than 40w for TC? Look at them embrace 200w now because Evolv is coming out with a 200w chip. Funny stuff.
Looks like opus already have this chip in their mod

Understanding RC LiPo Batteries
You got egg on your face as well. What are we, 12?hasn't the mantra of the Evolv fanboys always been that no one needs more than 40w for TC? Look at them embrace 200w now because Evolv is coming out with a 200w chip. Funny stuff.
Well SaidWow, as I read through this I feel like some people just can't be made happy.
First of all, with regard to the 200 watt issue. So you may not ever use 200 watts, I know I probably won't. However, it does provide you with a greater amount of flexibility than a 40 watt device. I sometimes like to drip between 60-80 and when I do I have to switch from my Hana to my Sigelei. If you will only use the lower end of the wattage spectrum, no worries!
Secondly, the LiPo issue. All of us, literally all of us, carry a LiPo with us every day in our cell phones. We are talking millions of people. They are probably the safest battery that you could carry with you. It cracks me up when people claim 18650s are safer because "they only vent". I've seen plenty of 18650s explode. Plus, with the way we vape now we are at the bleeding edge of what a 18650 is capable of handling. They were never designed for our application and any time you take a technology to the edge of its abilities it inherently becomes more dangerous. 18650s are a technology that is hampering our movement forward like a boat anchor.
Finally, several people have written about how "huge" the test mule for this board looks. Really?! The picture of the mod in the hand provides some perspective and it looks no taller or thicker than my Hana V4d. Plus, it is a test mule. No doubt device manufacturers will find better way to package the board.
I for one am excited about the DNA200. Everything negative that has been said so far sounds like nit-picking. The fact of the matter is that we now have more options, more competition and this will result in even more vaping progress. We all win!
Bummer about the lack of presets. I never use them but I'm sure many do.Just the facts:
Input voltage requirement 9-12.6vdc
Input current requirement 23A
Output voltage 9vdc
Max Output current 50A continuous (55A instantaneous)
Batteries supported: 3s Lipo - 3S LifePO4 - External Power Supply, and Evolv engineers speculate that 3 high quality 18650s should work.
No wattage presets. Total scroll time from 1w to 200w was 20seconds, with it accelerating the scroll rate after the first few tenths.
You can use multiple wire types. The only TCR that is preprogrammed is the NI200 however you can add your own TCR. Think of it as a graph. On the Y axis you have resistivity on a scale of 0.1 to 10, on the X axis you have Temp on a scale of -100 to 800F. You input different points into that plot to represent the TCR. You can put as many points in the curve as you like, but the curve has to be ascending. You can save/load your curves to/from csv files, but not as a preset.
The software is by far the most customizable solution I have seen to date from any board Mfg. There are something like 80+ variables that you can customize.
There are several built-in analyzer tools.
- Battery Meter, Error Flashes, Orientation, Brightness (active, idle, & charging), Fade, Active Time, Battery Chemistry, Battery Cutoff, Ohm lock range, Preheat Time/strength, and much more are customizable.
- Customizable screens. There are 20 different possible screens generated by the board. You can change them to say or look however you want within the limitations of a 128x32 mono screen. Don’t like the term “Stealth Mode” change it to “Hiding” or whatever.
- You have 3 pieces of information you can display on the left of the DNA screen, and another 3 while charging, and you can choose any of 10 different variables to display there, like ohms, voltage, temp, etc.
· Device monitor
o This is real sweet! It monitors over 20 variables in realtime and shows them numerically as well as allowing to graph as many of them as you want. The graphs updates every second, maybe less.
· Atomizer Analyzer
o Monitors your atty in realtime to allow to observe resistance stability.
· Case Analyzer
o Monitors several variables within your enclosure to predict performance under various charging situations.
The Balancing connector at the bottom is a "JST-XH".
Evolv is recommending a minimum of a 25A connector for the battery +/- connector.
The fave amongst the Evolv engineers is the XT30 connector.
Opus claims Opus 200 preorders ship in 7-10 days....Bummer about the lack of presets. I never use them but I'm sure many do.

Yes, Device Manager provides realtime monitoring and graphing of resistance while you vape, if you so choose.Can you confirm if any of the modes show live updating ohms during TC vapes? Rather than just showing the fixed base resistance measured for that coil?
I dont know, it has been requested but I dont know if it will be developed.Can you confirm if there will be a Mac version of the software?
YesMike, if you can confirm, does the screen on the DNA200 have the same dimensions as the one on the large screen DNA40?
