You just don't get it MS...
If you go back to my first post on page two, I spoke the truth...but you just didn't want to believe it.
And the more that I speak the truth, you still just don't want to believe it and now seem to think that I part of some kind of conspiracy "agenda"...
It called having your facts together and knowing how China works.
I speak from a large amount of experience.

Is this your cimon?
Can you open it and take some pics, I'd like to see the pack inside please.
And if you could, remove the cell and take measurements please?
I'd like to try to either locate the manufacturer or find a suitable high-quality replacement.
You need to know what you're buying man ....and the baggage that comes with it.
Cuz the 'baggage' that comes with it could be the difference between buying a disposable mod (no warranty) and one that can be serviced.
If you can't replace the battery, it's disposable.
I wish to have it in my hands mate - thats Martin's photos.
LiPo it custom size for sure and I HOPE it will be available without any ''special conditions''.
Unfortunately....there will be "special conditions" because that's how Hcigar is controlling their warranty scheme.
They're not even disclosing the dimensions of the pack.
Its all true but its also in OUR BUSINESS to buy from trusted vendors (not below suggested price). With that simple rule, theres nothing can go wrong (HCigar support/warranty and PROBABLY backup LiPo access).
Theres the other way: use MAGIC CODES, get it under $150 and find LiPo replacement. Is it worth of $20-30? I dont think so..

Right, you'd definitely want the warranty.

That's the other part of the equation, getting under $169 means that you've gotta have access to a high-quality replacement pack.
And I'm just gonna say for any peeps that are not fully aware of what the VT200 actually is.
It has a 3S1P battery pack inside, not your normal everyday cell. These kinds of packs are made for RC applications and can be extremely dangerous ...IF....you don't know how to use them properly OR if you buy a cheap-azz pack.
RC guys can buy junk packs, if they choose, cuz their drone isn't gonna be up in their face when it explodes into a huge ball of fire....
But if you buy a junk replacement pack, your mod is gonna be in your hand and up in your face.
This is NOT a 'normal' mod.

RC guys don't buy junk packs because their equipment is worth 10-15 times what a mod would cost. Take it from someone who has run RC's for nearly 10 years.
I see others bashing on Turnigy and Zippy in this thread, whom I presume aren't familiar with the RC world, otherwise they would know those batteries are decent.

OK. But 99 proc. of DNA200s are powered by LiPo now - batteries like ZIPPY, Turnigy ect. which are NOT ''the most expensive brands'' but they do the job.
Ill put it that way (if u afraid of something). With bit of luck we get 1st reviews next week (ECC this weekend). Custom sized LiPo will be measured and.. happy end.

That's a pretty broad claim, you have proof of that statement, right?
LiPo are quite new in e-cig world and we all have questions about it. Someone do the research and put a lot of trust to swap on 11.1V right?
Can DNA200 do 7.4V? YEST IT CAN NOW. So if someone is afraid of LiPo can easly go for 2x18650 now. Problem solved.

People also seem to forget the fact that we definitely aren't stressing those batteries. I mean we use 23 amps MAX while lipos have continuous higher than that. quick look around on hobby king. the lowest C rating I found for a 1300mah 3S1P(zippy brand) was 20C which is still 26 amps so the battery is still not being pushed anywhere near it's limits. Meanwhile RC usage tends to go far beyond our 23 amps of usage. Lets not mention the beating these things take in RC applications. Honestly most people are freaking out so much because of people purposefully exploding lipos on youtube. Mech boxer people have been using 3S lipos for a while now and I have never heard one of those exploding. 18650 explosions yes but never a lipo.
I wonder when we will finally see mod makers using lifepo4s
I have only seen ONE mod that uses 18650s instead of lipo. so yes 90/99% sounds about right.

Here's a YouTube search for "Zippy brand RC explosion"
zippy brand RC explosion - YouTube
There are 9,280 results....(videos)
Here's a search for "Turnigy brand RC explosion"
Turnigy brand RC explosion - YouTube
There are 5,900 results
And here's a search for "Fullymax brand RC explosion"
Fullymax brand RC explosion - YouTube
And there are 236 results.
"OK. But 99 proc. of DNA200s are powered by LiPo now - batteries like ZIPPY, Turnigy ect. which are NOT ''the most expensive brands'' but they do the job."
If you have no proof that 99% of DNA200 mods are all using Zippy and Turnigy brand cells...and not have any evidence to support your statement whatsoever....
Then why would you even make such a claim?
Evolv and another supplier are selling the Fullymax pack that Evolv used in their prototype, so it stands to reason that peeps are gonna use what Evolv used.
Fullymax 11.1v 3S 900mah 30C lithium polymer battery pack | Protovapor.com
Evolv Inc - DNA 200
Evolv did their homework when researching which pack brand that they should use...for the DNA200.

I will likely get one, and am not that interested in the warranty. I know where to get the chip replaced if needed, and the rest is just an enclosure, 510, battery and some wire. Even at the 100moq pricing for the chip, this is a good deal even if the pack is an issue. I am however waiting to see the "inside" prior to ordering.
Could be because Fullymax have not been around as long as Turnigy or Zippy. I personally have never heard of Fullymax up until this thread. Do you know anything about Lipos or are you just making an educated guess.
Maybe I wasn't clear before about how I've been in the RC hobby for years. If it took a battery I ran lipo and only lipo. Never once did I have a battery go up in flames. Unless you're gonna stick a knife through it, there's not much to worry about. The board monitors cells so again, not much to worry about with cell failure.
