I have 6 DNA40 mods from Nov to May. The only issue I have is with a Hana V4 DNA40 large screen. It glitches about 10% of the time but I haven't seen it glitch in the last 2+ days. The screen resets when you release the fire button. The vape is unaffected.

I have a DNA200 board on order and will be buying a Vaporshark DNA200.

Does anyone know if the DNA200 will actually work on its release?

Given Evolv's track record since October 2014 can anyone believe the DNA200 will work?

I hope it will work by December 2015 as I'm planning to build a new mod then to have something new and working by January 2016 :)

Unlike DNA200 users, who will have to be tethered to the PC it looks like, bluetooth can allow users to change their settings on the go or share/retrieve them with others at a click of a button.

hum... not really...but the software is really nice to configure the device as one wishes....

I am running 8 DNA 40's from the very first ones to the most recent and I have one that screen glitches and only about 5% of the time.
Like you mentioned it don't affect the performance and when the screen goes dim it fix's it self
It's a little problem that was blow way out of proportion. but the hater's gonna Hate
I truly think Evolv is head and shoulders above the rest of the vape world and will continue to buy there products
BTW I have 2, 200 watt boards coming and will build 2 awesome mods when they get here :)

Yep, but your reply is still unclear as to what you're disagreeing with.
Only thought was that users of the 200 don't have to be tethered to a PC. The software just gives more user definable features if you choose to use them... bluetooth is a different concept and as far as I know not even an option at this point, but a possibility in the future I guess.

Hey that's a really good idea.. in principle. But how would you power the Bluetooth chip and the sensor in the tank? :) If you have to run a power line to the mod that defeats the benefit. And batteries in a tank? Doesn't sound too appealing..

Unless it was combined with wireless power - basically a flat metal panel on top of the mod, which could power a suitable atomizer in close proximity wirelessly. Then the bluetooth kicks in to send the data.

That would indeed allow a normal 510 connection with data and power transfer enabled for compatible in-tank-sensor attys.

No idea if it's cost effective though - wireless power transfer, Bluetooth in both tank and mod. Not that Bluetooth chips are expensive, but it's all extra cost and complexity versus just having a new connector. The wireless power would be the most complex part I guess. It's an interesting idea though - Innokin should think about it :)
By the very same voltage flowing thru the 510 connector.. The 'only' problem being filtering/rectifying/capping that variable V input. If there's enough energy to power an 'analogical' resistance, then there's more than enough - even too much, probably - for a micro BT board.

The point I made is to change those settings, one has to be tethered to the PC. I didn't say that the DNA200 always has to be tethered to the PC to function.

For consumer-friendly devices, bluetooth is the way to go. The salesperson who tries to pitch a USB tether for a PC interface to most consumers will pretty much have customers whose eyes roll over at the thought of having to do something so technical. Their will be the geeks that love it, but they will be a small minority. Meanwhile, if that salesperson shows how a device pairs to an app on a smartphone, consumers immediately get it. At that point, it's no longer geeky, but cool. 10 years ago, maybe it would have been somewhat different, but consumer expectations have changed considerably since then.

How did the "kit" go together? Any thoughts/opinions yet?
It was fairly straight forward. I was playing with it for a bit before I installed the magnets. I just glued the magnets in so it needs to sit for about an hour for the glue to set.

I was worried about the buttons since they're attached to the body but they work great once the board is installed. The material is a bit iffy. While working on it on top of a bamboo cutting board (homemade 3rd hand setup), it seemed like it was being sanded down a bit but hardly any material came off. The only way I knew was because of the white-ish dust. I wiped it off with my hands and there was no marks but something I'll keep an eye out for.

It feels really good in my hands. I can fire with my thumb or index finger and it feels great.

You need to be "tethered" to update the SX350j. So the Yihi chip is a POS too? It's not user friendly.

Not everyone shares your opinions. Don't try to pass it off as it being everyone else's. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Says the guy who likes to use the word "fluff" or "unnecessary" whenever someone points out features lacking in an Evolv product. Nice double standard you got there.

It would be better if upgrades can be done through bluetooth, but it's also not the same as controlling the chip's setting. Quite a distinction you're ignoring there. Also, most consumers won't upgrade unless there is a problem, because yes physical tethers still suck from their perspective. ;)

I called the extra software features of the DNA200 "fluff" too. And that was in reference to someone saying it was a "game changer" which it isn't. No double standard. I don't post negative crap all the time. It doesn't have the features (fluff) YOU want. Get over it. Buy it or not. Just stop posting about how it's such a bad thing that you have to plug a wire from your mod to a computer.

Ah, I see you are the arbiter of all that is relevant or not. However, if people discussing advantages of a technology that Evolv didn't implement upsets you maybe you should leave the thread. Sort of like you say, "Get over it. Participate or don't."
