Hotcig DX75 (dna75)

[rice721]

Utilizes the DNA75 chip. It seems to be "currently" as of 5/17, the smallest DNA75 using a 26650 battery: 87mm x 42 x 30

I'm thinking about ordering one due to its form factor, slim yet fat.

Vapn Fagan did a quick look on it and compared it visually to the VT75 by hcigar (he keeps saying hotcig for BOTH mods...)

Wonder what is the diameter of the 510 pad- looks huge... well, maybe not huge but bigger than 22-23mm. mod does look comfortable to hold. I like the 510 to be on the fire button side but on this mod having it on opposite side doesn't look to be a deal breaker for me- but I'd lean more towards a Vape Forward Stout.

I think the youtube video says that even a 30mm atty will sit flush. Its rather large, the fat daddy looking 510 measures to about 25mm in diameter.

Only con I foresee with this mod is that the buttons are going to be rather mushy like the DX200.

I can see where there would be a market for this. Did not know the DX200 buttons weren't 'clicky'. I suppose as long as they were still uber durable I might could overlook that, but still a shame. You would think a manufacturer would go out of their way to have good buttons even if it drove costs up a little, considering that's one of the main interfaces between device and user...

He says that the dripper is 38 mm, and that he thinks even a 40 mm atty would look good. Doesn't seem logical when compared to the dimensions of the device...

Lol, yeah I think he was either "high" or just woke up. I think he meant the dripper was 28.5mm and a 30mm atty will still sit flush. Also he keeps calling both devices "hotcig" when clearly one is Hcigar.

Actually it's bc of the buttons on the evolve dna200/75 boards are mushy so mods that have their buttons directly on the board will have this problem. So it wasn't a dx200 only issue.

Obviously not all mods w/buttons on the board are mushy. Even my treebox- w/all its faults- has a good, clicky tactile button feel. My VTC Mini has good feel too. Not arguing, maybe I'm not understanding you...

 

[rice721]

Bc those aren't evolve boards. I was speaking of evolve dna 200/75 boards specifically.

Edit'd my previous post bc I see why the confusion.

Your edited post clarifies it. The only DNA boards I have now is a 25, just got rid of a 40 to someone who had a use for it. Fortunately they seemed to have decent buttons. Still, Evolv should have taken that into account. If they want to have a top-tier product, they should have used better buttons- they're an integral part of the user experience. IMO.

You're right. My dna40 doesn't have the slightly mushy button feel you get from my dna200s. just wish the dna200 and 75 had the same clickyness of the yihi boards.

I just got the HCigar VT75 DNA, and although I have not experienced any yihi boards, buttons on this mod has very solid click feel. VT75 is quite hefty, and the button will not click with all it's weight on it.

the DX75 is a nice looking unit. need more reviews first though....
