DNA 40 Chip with Temperature Control - CLONE

[valahul]

The Chinese have released dna 40 40W Chip with Temperature Control, the clone of Evolv dna 40.
$30.55 $35.36 - DNA 40 40W Box Mod Chip with Temperature Control - Cigabuy
It has Temperature Control as they say, like real DNA40. Costs $30.55.
I'm curious if anyone has tried it, but I doubt that will work like real thing.
But, who knows?

Kewl.....that is twenty dollars under the cheapest USA available Evolv board and it includes a USB charging board. I got an Evolv board and if it has $10 of parts and labor in it, I would be surprized. But, no reason Evolv shouldn't earn back development costs. I have a Vapor Flask DNA40 TC clone intransit just released from customs. There are others that have this model coming that ordered days later than me. Maybe a reputation will be earned or lost by the Chinese DNA40 clone. I also saw where they upped the board to a 50 watt TC version for marketing I guess. One second delay firing is going to a bad sign if it happens.

china dna40tc gets very good rep, seems work very well, stepup, step down, flat dc, tc works like in geniue.

lol -- I'm waiting on the evolv fanboys with their profile pics set to various amounts of dna40's to come in here and start talking about the magic and genral superiority of their boards because they are sitting on a pile of them that they need to sell off

I am in the process of building a few DNA40s and this wouldn't work since it doesn't have the onboard fire and up/down buttons that my builds require. If you are using remote buttons that isn't a problem...but that lack of flexibility in mounting options needs to be considered when building with this thing.

Those are testing buttons. You don't want to use them as surface mounted parts are hard to replace. Evolv boards have big holes for wire to to real switches that can be replaced cheaply.

Evolv specifically states that the onboard switches are appropriate for controlling the board, not just for testing. The onboard up/down buttons are rated to 300,000 actuations with external actuators. Even if they ultimately fail, you can still then use the board with external switches to prolong the life of the board.

The DNA40 datasheet specifically states "The DNA 40 is a self-contained power regulator which does not require external components for its user interface. However, it does support the use of external interface components if desired."

Look at devices like the Beyond Vape Solara...that one is set up to use the onboard buttons (both fire and up/down) for controlling the device. Even Vaporshark uses the onboard up/down buttons.

Consider yourself surprised, then.

Costs $30.55.

But, who knows?

For $15 more they'll put it in a Hana clone case.
I wonder if they'll program in a few screen glitches and wonky battery meter to make it seem authentic?

 

[sephirothcloud]

hmmm.... I'm tempted to build my own DNA 40 using this china chip...I'll wait for other guys to build this first

Vapor shark does not use the on board buttons. I know that the zna uses them. It allows for a more compact device. My only gripe about the on board buttons is that they are too soft and not clicky.

Are you sure? This is the DNA30 but looking at the each button position same as DNA40, they're using the on board button

I would be very cautious with the clone chips , if it works well great and some do work very well but i have not heard any feedback on the temp controlled clone.

Sorry, but your information is incorrect. The up/down onboard buttons are definitely used on the VS.

 

[jmarkus]

youre technically both right. the smaller non-rdna vs mods use the onboard up and down buttons on the dna, but the rdna's have a sister board for up and down function, not using the dna onboard buttons.

Look closer. The extra pcb is not the dna chip.

And you are correct...sort of, it's $16.98 more. Found 8 dna 40 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I think he was talking about cigabuy -- they have two dna40 hanna boxes -- one 7.xx more than just the board and the other for 15 more than the board -- apparently both of them do TP so I'm not sure what the deal is -- I ordered the $45 one and a board last week

I just chatted with the people at Cigabuy -- they said the $37 dollar version does not have temp control.

Correct. The DNA30 and rDNA40 do not use the onboard buttons on the DNAxx board. There is another board that holds the buttons.

Apparently, they did. There's pics of glitched clone boards.
