Evolv-ing Thread

They just sent the email this morning with the tracking number. I would think you would be ahead of me since you ordered a day before. Or, it's like you say, Steamer's luck is rubbing off on you

I see now you were red, mine was silver too so probably a longer waiting list. Probably another week.

I canceled my SDNA 75 at FT and ordered another from NW for just a few dollars more.
I think maybe out of y last 6 orders with FT I canceled four of them and bought state side. It's starting to look like a habit perhaps.
I added a pair of HG2's for $9 as my free shipping was under by 1 cent.....LOL
So I get free shipping and will probably be vaping it before FT even gets them out.
Edit: added "four of them"
Major edit: I bought them from 101Vape not VapeNW
I seem to be on a roll here....

I'm fine with charging via USB since that's how I charge all my mods now. I was tempted to drill a small hole for the LED on the DNA75 but I like the clean look and you can kinda see the light when charging.

About how long do you figure those USB jacks will last plugging and unplugging? Two years max?

What size magnets did you use Steamer?

I'll probably be the guy to be able to answer that at a future time, mine when it's in service is always between 11.7 and 12.3 volts (max recharges).
The ones I'm not using at the moment I take them down farther before I "bag" them.
Battery charge OCD if you will, you should see me checking tracking...LOL
It would also depend on just how many times a person tries to force it in upside down I would suppose.

Well on the HotCig you face either wear on the usb port or wear on the battery connections every time you pull it off the mod to charge, pick your evil LoL. I'm not going to unscrew the back off my ERM's and pull the battery out to charge them, that's for sure. I have a lot of devices, cell phones, camera's, notebooks, ect. that are 4-5 years old and not one of the usb ports have failed. USB cables are what I go through, I'm rough on them......

BTW, if it was "me", I'd get a better lipo charger then the one HotCig is selling.

If need be, my external 2-8S hobby charger will do the trick. I put connectors, either XT30 or EC2 on all of my bats. 10+ years from now, after I have exhausted my spare DNA boards, it might become a pain, but I will still be able to vape. Might have to install magnets on my ERMs instead of case screws at that point.

My oldest USB charged mod is my rDNA40 at 1.5 yrs and it shows minimal wear if at all. Some of my DNA200's are almost a year old and with daily use, there is no slop on any of the usb ports on them.

Some Phones use the same micro USB port & they last for a real long time
Out of all the failures I'v had, I never had any problems with the USB port
Worst case scenario, You could replace it your self? I know I would give it a shot if it was my only DNA200 left

I would hazard a guess that you will still be able to get Evolve products although at a significant price increase. This is assuming their export market is enough to keep them viable. Wink wink nudge nudge

If Evolv weren't around, which I too doubt, you could order a new usb port and get someone to solder a new one on for you. My grand daughter broke the screen on her ipod, when I took it apart to replace the screen I also found she had trashed the docking port. I got the parts from Amazon, found a couple local shops that repair TV's and electronics who would solder it in for me, one wanted $45 min charge and the other charged me $25. There were about a dozen tiny pins on that docking port soldered to the mother board, way beyond my skills, I was happy to pay the $25!

Squape x dream. Ok, coolest feature is the way the upper deck section twists and closes off the juice flow... So you can access the build deck and fill/refill/top off the tank and set the tank down! right side up, upside down, sideways.... Whatever. I can't recall ever seeing that before. Pretty cool trick imho.

@Phone Guy How does yours wick? Mine seems to be on the brink of flooding all the time.
I stuffed a huge wick inside to slow down the wicking But still seems to be real wet.
I wonder if I have a bad Oring some were? The cap seems to be metal on metal when I tighten it, maybe that Oring isn't thick enough? I'm going to try a thicker one on the cap
Besides this all most flooding thing, I think this thing is amazing! I only have a single coil in it, on a DNA75 & it's vaping like a Boss!

That has to be the case.
