Don't get the DNA VT40 YET!

[davevape55]

Hey guys issues involving this new mod. I know cause mini arrived 2 days ago. (evolv dna vt40).. glitches in reading resistance in ohms on screen. No Bull.. I was waiting 2 weeks, already paid in advance. I had also read in another forum someone had the same issue . did my own testing with new coils from Kanger and cleaning tanks to be sure it's the mod. It was problematic with Kanger occ ni200 coils ( . 15 ohms).. Would not give accurate reading.. Which caused temperature warnings at random.
Sorry but I was hoping for a great vap experience, only to have problems.

Yes questions. I'm not that new however.. Atty lock hold up and down... Means what?

 

[davevape55]

Sorry regarding vt40

 

[davevape55]

DNA vt 40 evolv mcigar. Or whatever ya call it.

 

[davevape55]

I guess everyone left for for the... movies

 

[davevape55]

Is the atty lock reason for not seeing ohms? Ps. I do like the purchase if I don't have to send it back. Does anyone have a instruction info for online re:evolv dna vt40? I only have what they sent. Talk later

Atty lock on the DNA40 means that it locks in the initial resistance of the coil it's being set on. What that means is that, for example, the premade coils stay at that resistance despite its changes in the ohm readings. It is common to see your ohms jump +-.1 ohm when using such coils (only used Atlantis ni coils, btw). Besides this the Kanger coils we're notorious for having an apparent hot leg issue since one leg is much longer then the other. So I believe that's why you frequently get "Temp Protection" flashing up randomly/frequently.

Edit: Temperature Control is quite finicky and requires a solid connection for the nickel wire. With a loose connection it will cause the frequent rise and fall of ohms. At that point TC will get wonky. Premades do cause this but not dramatically. Attempt a build of your own and check it from there.

If you have never used a temperature control mod go to youtube and see some reviews on the DNA40 to see how it works.

I don't like the idea of getting the first version of anything... let others be the guinea pig. I did get lucky though on one Pre-order for a Sigeli 100. Works fine, and I love the device.... I floundered for quite a while and got some reviews in first.

My vt40 works fine...

 

[cimon]

Because it works fine!

Few things:

1. just like @Shigura says: Ni200 needs good connection (if u r new with this stuff, just go for premade OCC Ni200 - u cant go wrong)
2. VT40 is build on last and best DNA40 Gold chip revision (screen glithes have nothing to do with proper working of device)
3. build quality is same or even better than SX Mini
4. it just gets PRICE DROP (VT200 premiere)

Conclusion?

If u r satisfied with 40W - go for it. If u would like to have ''power reserve'' for dual or quad builds - go for bigger brother VT200.

I am glad to hear they worked on the female 510 threading on the device(vt40)(Efft3344)..I had to return mine. It was all aluminum with with some brass coating or something . The threads were soft after a week and a half. Finally couldnt get an atty to thread at all. I hope yours is Stainless. I did get store credit for the return(which was cool). Bought the sx mini with a little extra cash. I did like the build of the vt40.. Its quite solid.

A 40 watt mod for $160 and only a single 18650....Don't worry, I wont

 

[davevape55]

Please be advised that some time has passed since posting this. The device should not be frowned upon! At the time I was very new to DNA devices, and did not have thourogh knowledge of Evolv 's chips and devices using such. Thanks

 

[davevape55]

To add to the above thread:

And I still don't have thourogh knowledge of Evolv's chips!

$160???

VT40 is more like $120 now. With extra $9 u can get VT200 with DNA200 on it (RSP $169).

BTW: With DNA200 u can go for 2 X 18650 or 2S LiPo now (7.4V). Keep it in mind..
