Looks like hcigar will be the first (that I know of) to release a dual battery dna mod. Could not find any specs as of yet, but looks interesting. I'm fine with a 133 watt limit if it means I can run it on dual 18650s.

nah, there is a boxer 133W, dual 18650 released a while ago. Not many examples of the dual though!

edit: whoops, missed Steve's post above - my bad!

I find the VT40 and VT200 to be exceptionally attractive. I can't say the same for this VT133 or VT25 though. I like the idea of dual 18650. 133W is more than what I need. But I can't get over how ugly this looks. Now if HCigar can come up with a single 18650 DNA running 70-80W...

I wish something could come out just like that, but unfortunately that would require that Evolv make a new board to handle that type of capability. The DNA200 (or DNA133 in this case) is unable to step UP voltage, it's only step down.

Yeah, I get that it can't handle 200w safely, that's pretty obvious. Was just wondering about facts with math involved :p
The DNA200 is limited to a 23amp draw (25 amp fuse). So when your batteries are getting low, say 3.0V each (will be lower with 18650's once you attach the load because of voltage sag).
Watts = Voltage X Amps (current).
6v x 23a = 138 watts.
Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Steve
