It does but that wire is basically regular old titanium wire that's jazzed up with marketing and sold for a rediculous price.
Not sure where u heard that. Because if u tried it u wouldn't be saying that. The company even provides a perfect tcr for each of there wires. Once u try it u won't use anything else. If u want perfect temp control ssv is the wire to use.

Also just to make sure everyone knows. If u buy that vt200 from ecig the 1 yr warranty is null and void. It's clearly stated in the discription of the item on the page linked above. If u don't care about the warranty it's a great price and can't go wrong.

When I called them and asked them yesterday ( Store Manager) and then he asked the owner I was told I would still have the 1 year warranty . I put my order in and then checked last night on my order and underneath the description it then read in red lettering that it would not have the 1 year warranty, So I called them and they said they just found out last night, I said I wanted to cancel my order as if it broke I would not know how to fix it, The lady said she would cancel my order and then she said she was sending a email to confirm it, well I didn't get a email. So not sure if I should or shouldn't get it or if they are cancelling so have to call again when they open

I've had mine for about 3 weeks and it's been working flawlessly . I was gonna order another one and keep the one I have for work. But once I read that u don't get the 1 yr warranty I had to pass. Honestly I think if u bought it and hcigar wouldn't warranty it ,Evolv would probably still cover the chip so it's definitely a toss up . I will say it's an awesome box. The size ,shape , and weight are all perfect. Only downside is the battery. I can get a full work day out of it but the weekends are ruff. I just carry my vt200 and have my sig 150tc in my back pack when I go out on the weekends. They should have batterys for sale soon after the Chinese holiday so I'm just waiting for that . The vt200 does have better battery than the other boxes out now so anyone u buy will have small batt issues

Well I think I will still keep it as canceled. I just have to make sure they do it.The lady said it just had to get the final approval from the store owner, I did ask if they were going to notify everyone that they wouldn't have the warranty and she said she didn't know. I did say it would be the right thing. But have a feeling they will not contact everyone who got it. So now the waiting begins for them to open.

Strange since I get similar battery life out of all 3 VS-VT-DX. The lipo size of the Hcigar is also similar with the other two DNA200 mods. The VT is only bigger because of the wasted space in the lipo
Yeah I wasn't saying cause the vt200 is bigger than the vs it last longer. The vs has 900 mAh and the vt200 1300 mah. My coworker has to charge half way through work everyday . Yes it only takes 1.5 hrs to charge but he's doing so twice as much as I do with the vt200.

I don't think you did that correctly.
Yeah me neither. Lol . I was just saying my vt200 last longer than the vs running same setup. But it could be variables in vaping. We both have the same setup and wattage but he has to charge twice as much as I do. Not that any of the mods are bad I like all of them I have seen so far . Just trying to help the other make a good decision.

I have a question, on the warranty thing from Hcigar it does show a 169.99 MSRP. Isn't that suggested? Which should mean that is what is suggested right? I know regular store items you buy have a suggested price on anything we buy but the stores are allowed to sell it lower, if this wasn't the case then everything sold in every store would be the same price. I wonder if Hcigar has a leg to stand on with this or not?

Yihi does the same thing with their SX Mini mods. Maybe because Hcigar copied their product packaging, they also wanted to copy their strict MAP enforcement / warranty void policies.

Well the point was it shows MSRP, which means suggested price. So it's not really set in stone so to speak. I'm still trying and reading if they have a leg to stand on or not. I'm not really sure YIHI does either and think it's pretty crappy for what they are doing.

The thing is their a Chinese company and clearly stated this policy before the box even released. So ultimately it comes down to the people carrying the device to follow their policy. On that note Evolv might still warranty the chip if there is any problem. Honestly that the only thing that really need a warranty because hcigar don't warranty battery or 510 connector. Only thing left is the chip , case and wiring. Out of those 3 I highly doubt the case and wiring are gonna be any issue so u are left with the chip . I would try ti make sure Evolv will honor their 1 yr warranty and go from there.

Yeah it is very expensive indeed.
I would buy the 10 ft .5 ti . Try it out if u don't think it's worth it don't buy more. I can almost guarantee you will love it. I had been using kanthal and ni200 when I decided to try it. .5 ti wire has no comparison to the ni200 wire. It blows that .... outta the water. Since I got ssv .5 ti wire I've tried other ti wire and even that don't compare . It's been the best vape I've tried period. And the coolest thing is they provide the tcr in csv format for dna 200. It works amazingly. I ordered on Monday and it was at my house wendsay. I emailed them asking for the tcr at like 11 pm eastern time and the owner responded with instruction like 10 mins later . He sent the tcr and I been hammering my dual setup and nothing seems to kill this stuff . It's so clean and flavorful . What's the worst that can happen u spend 12 bucks and don't like it. Or u spend 12 and throw away all your other wire and order 50 ft like I did.

Well maybe I'll go write Evolv and ask them about the chip. then if that craps the bed would have to find someone who kows how to replace something if the device craps out on me. I would have no clue how to take it out and put a new one in.

Basically it sounds like if you want the VT200, and want a warranty from a Chinese manufacturer, then you should probably just pay the full retail price. If you're fine taking a gamble, then you can buy it below MAP, and have to do any repairs yourself, or pay somebody to repair it for you if any issues do arise.
