Hotfire looked interesting until I saw only goes down to .1, the size and look I do like. Wonder if their website is a typo.
So here is a little something I have noticed that I don't care for. The two banana plugs start in before the balance connector, if the square edges of the balance connectors catch instead of going together and if they are forced together there may be a chance of breaking the end of the board. Next time I separate mine I'm going to bevel the corners of the male balance connector with a small file so it will center it's self better into the female part.

Specs are the same in that regard on all DNA200 boards. I believe Hotfire to be just an arm of Hotcig. (not .1)
Not being .1 would make more sense, did a quick search on Hotfire, unsure but appear to be out of CA. Easily could be wrong.
Out of ChinA
I got the web address from off the box that the Hotfire balance charger came in but anything is possible I suppose.
I put in the cart and they wanted to charge Ca. sales tax but I couldn't get it to actually proceed to check out. I wasn't wanting to buy it anyway.

I liked how your DX200 pic has the same tank as the hotcig's DX200 pic above.
I really wanted to open mine up to see how they grounded the 510 but thought I'd better wait awhile in case it needs to be returned. A fellow on the Early Adopters forum showed his, here it is, I'm not thrilled by the press in 510 but it seems to function properly.

No on the battery, spring is about the same stiffness as on my Opus (which is feeling neglected)
Here is what I got with a piece of cooper wire shorting the post of my Magma clone with atomizer analyzer in EScribe. The Hotcig: .035Ω, the Opus: .02Ω. I added 80% of these figures to mod resistance in EScribe under the "Mod" tab. (this worked well)
Also checked to see if FD v3 shorty can be fit in there and it looks like a go, might have to grind off one of the corners of the brass nut in the end to fit the cover back on.

I think they did a pretty job everything looks good. I agree on the 510 but it would be super easy to swap it out with a Varitube model if necessary. But I am sure it will hold up fine if you treat it right.I really wanted to open mine up to see how they grounded the 510 but thought I'd better wait awhile in case it needs to be returned.

So how are the buttons, and are you satisfied with how the battery mounts is it secure?
It's actually a nice little device. I bought it with the intention of taking the board out if it was a crappy box.
The buttons are as expected - no mushiness. Time will tell on the battery fit, it's a tight connection for now.

Actually he posted a pic on Fasttech in the Got it Yet? thread that you started there.
