I want to order a dna133 vapor flask (vaporshark) . My custom flask died in April I think it was.... So as a friendly reminder if anyone spots any Vaporshark hardware discount codes or sales, please pm me. It's not like I'm hurting for a dna133/dna200 mod, but the flask is by far my favorite shaped mod, and it was my daily driver so I do miss it.

Since the flask has been out of service I've rotated between the 1300mah erm+ and the 900mah dx200 (and my dna40 flask). I've learned most days 900mah is a little low... 1300mah is acceptable most days...

Also that the erm+ brushed was so the smart way to go. No coating of color. When it gets scratched up I polish it a little and it looks new again.... Plus the erm+ is the only mod I carry into a Vape shop and get looks and questions... The last mod like that was when I used my wae2 by mb.

A little "the little guys don't all ways loss story"
So I sent my phone into Apple, perfectly good 5 month old phone with a cracked glass :( On the chat I was told for 199.00 they would swap the glass, if? nothing else was wrong. The phone worked fine, So I figured it was a pretty good deal!

The way Apple Service works, they charge or put a hold on funds for the amount of a new phone just incase, Fine. I get the email phone is fixed, But they replaced my phone & were going to charge me full Price! 469.00!! quite a bit more than the 199.00 we talked about.

I went back on the Apple Service Chat & demand an explanation, Why are they replacing a perfectly good phone that only needed a new screen? No one could give me an explanation :(

After 90 minutes of getting the run around from several Associates. I was finally able to chat with a senior associate & was told he would request a refund for the difference 269.00

Happy to say today there is a refund on my CC for said amount :)

The nerve of these big companies! as if I didn't know they would just replace the screen on my phone & send it out to the next guy for full replacement price!

Moral of the story everyone is trying to pull a fast one today! Buyer beware!

Geez, $269! Well worth standing your ground for! Seems like they would have let you know what it would cost before repairing or replacing, not just go ahead and decide for themselves.

I'm still using a flip phone, it was a refurb and cost me $20 shipped and they threw in two new battery's, service is $10 a month. But I only use mine for emergency's while away from home, I don't chat on it, I hate texting and have no need for internet on the go. When I had my business my cell phone was my contact phone, I had to take calls no matter where I was, even after hours, that was a different story. That wore me out and when I retired I was happy to unteather myself from the damn thing.

Oh well. I should have bit the bullet and ordered one. Oh well. I'd be curious to see how much bigger the complete mod is side by side with 900mah and 1300mah battery installed.
It isn't too late. As when the sale ends, the black and red keeps going on sale again ($30.32). And I haven't seen the quantity of them to drop at all, unless I order. I've ordered 2 black and 1 red. I've been waiting for the white ones to go on sale (they only have three left). But they never put those up on sale.

Say, does anybody else own lots of these DX200 lipos? I have 11 here now and plus the 3 from Gearbest that are coming. So far they are working just great. One black they used too much super glue (easy to fix), And one red the cells were almost 0.1v unbalanced from one another, but it balanced charged just fine.

900mah 26mm x 32mm x 90mm
1300mah 26mm x 40mm x 90mm

Looks like the 1300mah is only 8mm longer. Although a few people have mentioned it feels and looks huge. I am thinking once the lipos are dead to try to squeeze dual 18650s in there. By the dimensions listed, they just might fit. :)

The way it works is they make you agree to replacement cost, right up front.
They say they will look at the phone & if it just needs a screen thats all it get or if it's too far gone they replace it.
I guess they just thought they could do what ever they wanted?
But I knew my phone was ok & it didn't require replacement.
When I pushed them for details on why they replaced my phone there were none!
Cause they didn't even look at it, they just decided replacement & took a wait and see attitude.
If I didn't complain they won & kept my money if I did all they had to do was refund my money.
It's just insane how they can blatantly try to rip you off, & it's just routine company policy :(

Are they small screen? No! I haven't looked at anything except what's been posted in here... But I assumed they were large screen. Small screen would be cool though.
They can be either but small screen availability can be an issue as stated on the DNA60 page at Evolv.

Let's see. As I remember you asked anyone buying the erm+ enclosure to keep them for personal use and not to resell them.

Then there's the fact I don't believe YOU made and sold the mod at all in the first place.

So I wonder if it is an erm (probably not) seems like your one of those cool brand worthy of being counterfeit now... "mod by Mike petro" [emoji41]
They are only allowing 1 board per customer for "prototyping" purposes prior to 8/8. I will be using mine to establish it as a "pre-existing product". That should make me legal to run a co-op at some future date, for the next 2 years anyway.
