Just recieved this mod today. Used it for half a day and just wanted to post some pictures and a quick first impression for those of you guys who are interested. This mod along with the SMY SDNA75 and the Lavabox M DNA75 are currently the only DNA75s I'm looking into due to their form factors.
I paid $109.50 for the mod and it came with a free 26650 basen black battery.
Weighed the mod out to 116g without any batteries. 128g with the 18650 battery adapter.
18650s weigh in around 45g, 26650s weigh in around 90-100gs
Measurements are 87 x 40 x 30.
Since most of us are familiar with what evolve boards (dna200) have to offer, I went in looking for a DNA75 mod with 2 main criterias in mind. Build quality of the mod itself and more importantly form factor. I wanted to find a DNA75 mod(s) that is substantially smaller than their DNA200 counterpart.
This one seems to fit the bill. Very ergonomic, easy to pocket (not crazy heavy: 173g in 18650 mode, akin to a vaporshark dna200 @ 170g), feels very solid all around.
I like the minimalist approach to the design. I think they could've done away with the "hotcig" logo but at least this one's rather small compared to the DX200, situated on top of the mod next to your atty. The mod is 30mm wide at its widest part will probably accommodate up to 30mm wide attys without any overhang.
Just 2 cons right off the bat for me.
1. they could've done a better job rounding out the edges at the bottom of the mod. would make it that much better to hold.
2. not a fan of these type of battery doors, its especially finicky when you use the mod in 18650 mode with the adapter. I will probably use this exclusively in 26650 mode.
Also, my boxer black 26650 battery does NOT fit as the wrapping is too thick. Basen blacks fit perfectly.
I took the liberty to post side by side size comparisons with some of the mods that I have.
From top to bottom DX75 vs Vaporshark DNA200, Hotcig Hero DNA200, Boxer SX350jV2 26650, Lavabox DNA200, RX200, Boxer DNA133.
