DNA 200 Watt

[nic_fix]

oh i totally agree with you. i just meant some doctors are misdirected just like anyone else. i have a number of doctors. they all consider me a non smoker for medicare. everyone of my doctors think it is fine. i just meant a few out there are jaded. maybe they are paid too i don't know. as i said though eventually they too will have to eat there words.

vaping was an incredible invention imo and it has progressed nicely. to the point of being very satisfying and not even thinking of tobacco. i personally cannot find any health hazard. unless you go to those bozo's at truth. they must have some agenda too. i don't know what it is but they are really helping no one. i actually do not even think that is their motive to help anyone. the thing is they have physicians on board but i feel they are outright quacks.

i 100% agree with you. you might have misunderstod me but that is alright.

i never saw this attack. i thought it was about typing skills. was it in fact actually about evolv? man i feel stupid i don't even know what they were attacking me for. it got deletede before i saw it.

i steadfast maintain it is a revolutionary product. i love it, okay? all my mods are now evolv. i still have others mechs and stuff but they are all in the garage now.

anyways, i just feel bad they picked on a guy in a wheelchair. whatever though i can't control other peoples opinions. i can give proof that my cancer is much better. if i continued tobacco my doctors said i would not be here right now. this came a little late for me even though 6 years vaping but it saved my damn life. that is all that matters to me.

My doctors are pretty cautious about agreeing with my vaping. I can understand that from a cardiologist perspective, there isn't much difference. Nic, whatever the way it enters, increases heart beat, BP and can induce some arrhythmias.

The only one who totally agrees with my vaping is my otorhinolaringologyst.

Cardiologist perspective? Does nicotine from vaping really increase blood pressure? Yes, I am convinced from smoking does, but vaping isn't smoking. I haven't experimented enough with vaping to be convinced yet. And about the only weakness of vaping is that lack of that huge rush of nicotine into your brain that smoking gives you. Okay dripping at 18mg does quickly fill your body with that quickly needed nicotine boost, but it isn't the same.

Arrhythmias and otorhinolaringologyst? Who talks like that? I had to look up the words and the latter is spelled incorrectly (according to Google). But hell, I don't know if I can pronounce them correctly let alone to spell them correctly.

It does, just like coffee. Take your bp after a few hours without any nic and then measure it again after a vaping session. Mine goes up by 10 points.

Regarding my spelling, English is my fifth language so sorry for not knowing what terms you use generally. I translated the specific words we use in Portuguese to English. Otorhinolaryngologyst was an attempt to translate "otorrinolaringologista" which is the common name used here (sometimes abbreviated to "otorrino").

If "nose and throat doc" is more understandable to you, I apologize.

Regarding "arrhythmia", I can't even think what's the more common name in English? "irregular heart beat during a certain period of time"? We use "arritmia" as the common word so once again, apologies if it wasn't understandable to you.

i saw a report from a dr. t harvard. he only had 50 peple in the test group. he determined it raises bp and depletes the oxygen in the lungs. however he found that all goes back to normal in 15 minutes and has no long term effect. at least that is good news. it seems hardly anyone is researching this. i will tell you the pulmonologist (sp?) will not recommend it to people with copd, lung cancer or emphasema(sp?). that is completely understandable. to people with very sick lungs it may hasten their problems. simply because to them it is an irritant. not really the nicotine or anything. the bottom line is what is in juice is 100% safe. even kosher lol. heating it to the point of atomization(sp?) shall have no ill efect. sick people in fact use a vaporizer and it often contains pg! of course not nicotine. just as with the warning for children i doubt very sick people should use nicotine. for everyone else it should be harmless. all my doctorsare onboard. my oncologist said cessation of tobacco whatever the means has saved my life. now one note. if you heat your cotton until is scorches you are in fact inhaling a carcinogen.

i want to say the above passage was very hard for me. i had to press caps lock each time i used symbols. i expect no pity but i am glad most of you are handling it. as i said before in my prime i did not type like this. i am now mostly paralyzed. it is okay though i could not possibly live much longer at my age. i had a very fulfilling life and i am happy. i do have some loose proof my cancer did not advance due to the cessation of tobacco.

i am 100% behind vaping. my doctors of which there are many have no issue with it. i said before to medicare i am considered a non smoker. so at least one federal agency gets it right. you know it is funny they are going by state to legalize pot now but many politicians are against this. they are not doctors. what rom has done in chicago is sickening to me. most citizens do not care for him but yet they elected him.

anyways as i also said i bet in ten years any and every opponent has to eat their words. the big problem is so few people are researching this. that is okay, i already know the outcome. it is perfectly harmless. at zero nicotine there is not one single reason this would be a health hazard. it may be to some specific groups with high nic levels.

on a side note i am using way too litle nic 3. i use 120ml in three days. my only issue is it is expensive and obviously i cannot diy.

sorry for long rant.

From my own personal experience, I have been vaping for a couple of years now. Seven years at the age of 32, I had a heart attack. It was my fault. Poor exercise and diet. I quit smoking and restarted several times while going through a divorce. I have had all the regular follow-up so I have 7 years of heart, bp, and diabetes tests to track. Even after making better health decisions I was still struggling with my blood pressure even with proper diet and exercise. Now, after 2 years of vaping my doctor is pretty much ok with my vaping, my tests have been markedly better since a month after picking up vaping. I have even been able to cut down on my BP medications a bit. So, while I agree and know the nicotine makes my blood pressure go up a bit. I will say until I see my body start to fall apart again I will vape away to my hearts content and just keep working on lowering my nic (currently at 6).

i used to take 4 high dosage bp meds. after about 8 months of vaping my doctor has me on one very light duty bp med. i have been vaping about 6 years and bp has not gone up. my bp is 118/72. i treated my body like a trash can all my life. there is huge longevity in my family though. i did get struck with severe Parkinsons. now i am mostly paralyzed, otherwise my health is okay. nurse exercises me. what you don't know is i am almost 100 years old! so all considering i am okay. what has the doctors stumped is i did not lose my mind. lucky for that. the oncologist completely agrees i would be gone now if i did not switch chew to vaping. i am not sad i am in a wheel chair though. i could have honestly been this age and able. had i not mistreated my body. like you, it is my fault. although i am not sure Parkinsons is my fault but i bet cancer is. no one in my family had cancer. you are not even going to believe this but my grandmother lived to 113 and was able to the day she had a stroke which took her life.

to be honest half the stuff we all did caused us whatever problems we have. vaping was just damage control. eating twinkies did not help any of us either. now all i eat is raw veggies and fruit. thats it. i don't eat much. i am 6'3" and i am down to 126 pounds now. i was also morbidly obese. i have no excuses i did all this to myself. the most important thing to know here is vaping has certainly prolonged my life. in fact it may be the reason i did not lose my mind.

in fact perhaps maybe vaping is even good for us. we don't know yet. maybe in the future healthy non smokers will be recommended to vape! okay, wishful thinking lol.

VaporRange has HCigar VT200's for $100, Seems it may be worth it.. Iv heard some have different 510 Connections, do you think by now all being sold have the upgraded one? Or did it really make any difference? Thanks in advance!!

I think they all should have the plated SS 510 now. They changed that quite awhile ago. I have the Brass 510 and have had absolutely no problem with it. Personally I think the 510 controversy was a tad overblown.

PS I like my VT200, I've had it for quite awhile and it has seen quite a bit of use without a single problem!

Cheers,
Steve

Edit I believe any with a serial number over 5000 have the new 510

I heard some people say the 510 wasn't really a problem but wasn't sure. I think its a nice DNA200 and will go good beside my Lavabox(Which I still haven't ran the "Case Analyzer" on yet lol) I did order that brass 510 tool to find out the mods resistance though, and it was .004 like you told me!
I'm waiting on some more Dual 18650 options that are not too pricey.. Idk about the VT133...

Thanks again!

this just goes to show how much the poor chinese people make. think about the price of the board and battery. of course this works good for those of us that have a budget. honestly the fact they can even produce it at that price is a feat in itself.

thanks for liking my previous post guys. i appreciate that.

Np!

As for the HCigar VT200, almost everywhere else its the same price as any other DNA 200 at around $160 with their best warranty, $135-140 for a 30day Warranty, if I remember correctly. VaporRange is the ONLY place I have seen them that cheap($100), so im guessing it doesn't have the full warranty, or they just have it on Clearance. Iv also been wondering if their cooking up a newer model since iv seen the price drop..

Either way, I do see your point here...

I got mine for a touch under $120 shipped awhile ago. I wouldn't worry too much about Hcigar on the warranty front. I figured Evolv will warranty the chip for a full year either way. That's the main thing imo. As for as new model(s) - Hcigar also has the VT133 (2x 18650 DNA200) and the soon to be released VT75 (iirc) using the new single battery, 75 watt Evolv chip.

Steve

Yeah, from what I have heard Evolv does usually take care of you no matter which product! And yep those are the other 2 I know of. Im really interested in the DNA75 but HCigars model takes 26650's, I prefer 18650..

No doubt getting some cash flow to buy a bunch of 75's......just guessing.

You will be paying for that on the FT forum when the "wrecking crew" of half dozen idiots comes along and adds their colorful comments to the discussion and you soon remember why you stopped posting there in the first place.

i was very impressed with evolv. stand up company. fixed a third party device and had to contact the manufacturer to order a part from china. which they paid for! they did not even charge for a new battery. simply amazing company. yes, you can tell i am pleased with their cs.

I get a lot of crap for being an Evolv fanboy. This is one of many reasons why. I know they aren't perfect but they do go out of their way to resolve customer issues quickly.

Here's a couple of DNA200's (they sent a new screen for the Hana because Hana wouldn't)

I haven't ever dealt with a company with better customer service.
I accidently knocked a DNA 200 off my desk the other day. It seemed to work fine at the settings I was using after the fall but the next day I noticed a metallic "clunk" when I tipped the device.

The pic below shows why. I created a ticket and got a response ...."send it in....we'll replace the board".

One could reasonably expect most companies to call something like that user abuse of the device.
Evolv is great in my opinion. When there's a problem they have always fixed it for me PDQ.
