Ok, folks, here's the latest on the 30s. Evolv just emailed me that they've shipped our order so we should be able to resume building in a few days. Meanwhile, I received a test board a couple of days ago and built a unit to see what this bad boy can do. We ran a couple of attys at 30 watts no problem, but not for very long - didn't bother with fresh new batteries or anything. My recommendation is to get the highest current-capable batts possible: the new Orbtronics or Efests, and worry less about mah than continuous amp draw. That is, of course, if you plan on vaping at these insane levels. For normal usage, eg 9-12 watts or so, pretty much anything will work fine. I've been using an old Efest at around 9 watts and it's still going after nearly two days. Very impressive.
That's great news. I've only recently got a Futura DNA20 and honestly couldn't see ever needing more power? But I've only just received it too
That is great news. How about the lock watt feature? Did you find a way for it to work? Money in hand ready to order if you did.
From what Jon has said, they're not making a design change for the current Futura, other than they'll start installing DNA30s instead of DNA20s. But perhaps a model revision will happen in the near future? It sure would be spiffy if I could lock the power adjust! I might just buy ANOTHER Futura if I could lock the power adjustments. *cough*cough*hint*hint* Jon.
Since the lock feature won't work, i'd imagine you'd just turn it off to put it in your pocket. That being said, does the DNA board remember your settings after you turn it back on?
My issue with the design is that my hand/fingers adjust the setting while it's being used, not while it's in my pocket.
Yes, even when changing batteries.
Quick question. What are the 510 threads made of?
My other APV is an eVic, which those 510 threads are soft and strip easily. I guess there brass on the eVic? I dunno
So what are the threads on the Futura made of?

stainless steel i dont think you will have any problems with them stripping
great to hear i got two high drain 30a orbtronics on the way to me
This might be a stupid question.....but here goes.
What are the ideal builds for higher wattage applications?
Only drippers?
28 gauge wire vs 30?
Silica, ekowool, cotton?
Etc....I'm trying to figure out what's the best use for having 20 watts of power? So far I keep burning the cotton wick?... it was suggested in having wicking issues.

maybe some foggers will answer that question phone guy i dont even get close i run any where from 10-12 watts my builds is either a .9 ohm 28g on a cotton/hybrid ( 325 ss mesh with a thin film of cotton ) 4/3 wrap or just a 1.5 ohm 28g ss mesh 7/6 wrap at 12watts both are fine for me i get plenty of clouds and flavor but can still keep my windows closed lol
I use 20 watts on my dna20 every day, it's awesome. you need really good juice delivery though, drip or bottom feed mostly.
I run dual 28ga microcoils 18-20 wraps each, hemp wick, 1 ohm total, really long coils but they work great at 20 watts, the vape of these in a cyclone with afc is awesome. they're so long that it's almost like you have 4 coils in there coil area wise
because there 2 big long coils of 28ga they take a few seconds to get up to full tilt, a 3-4 second hit is a pretty nice civilized vape. I'll usually do a few of these in a row and that's my vape. a 4-5 second hit is getting a bit thicker and intense vape, 5-6 seconds is a really nice big thick cloud juicy vape and 7-8 seconds is a big lung hit that's going to give you clouds like crazy, just for the odd time you feel like doing that
the afc is so easily adjustable that I often use it as variable draw while vaping. a tight fitting drip tip all you do is hold it with your teeth and rotate the driptip slightly and this changes the draw of the atty. the first few seconds start with a tight draw then ramp it up as the coil really starts to cook, towards the end if you do keep going then open and airy clouds. very satisfying vape. can go from mild and even stealthy sweet tight draw vape when you're easy on the throttle, all the way to an all out huge cloud chasing hp machine without adjusting watts much really
this is only one way to run 20 watts daily, but it's one of my favorite ways so far

Well, Id say drippers, dual coil or more 28 gauge works best. It can be done with a single micro coil on a bed of cotton (cheesecloth works best for me), not subohm. You're gonna make me experiment, eh? I'll try in the morning, maybe a 1.5 ohm dual coil...
Dang turbocad that's turbo vaping aiight. that's my build for the day...

Hi all! I've pre ordered a Futura, would this battery keeppower 30A discharge imr18650 high drain battery 3.7V 2100mAh be good enough for the device? I've thought about ordering the Orbitronics but the $50+ delivery charge to UK for a tiny package put me off. The keeppower 30A imr18650 are available on eBay for £15 for a pair including delivery.

Keepower is better known in the flashlght forums and they have an excellent reputation there. Their batteries usually test on par with the original mfr's tests. They do what orbitronic and efest do. Rewrap the battery adding, protection, nipple tops, etc. I think these are the Sony VTC4 in keeps clothing, so I'd say go for it....

I mean no offense whatsoever. I own and like my ProVari, but I am wanting to get a VW device with ProVari-like quality. Does anyone here own both a ProVari and a Futura? How would you compare the quality of the two devices?
A critical point for me personally is the firing button/switch? I've got bad hands that don't work too well - is the firing button on the Futura softer or harder than on a ProVari? For instance, I can't use a itaste MVP2 because the button is too hard for me to push.
I want to go to a VW device as I get too confused trying to do the math volts | Ohms | watts - I'd much rather find my happy spot, set it and forget it.
