and i'm tempted with the dna40 and temp control, but i definitely got a bad taste with this experience. the damn thing just fried itself a couple a days ago and no short in the atty!
are the dna chip always this finicky or could this be a Futura only issue?

You won't like the taste of temp control but 40 w is good to have

Futura issue most likely from the reports. All my other DNAs, 20s, 30s, & 40s perform flawlessly.
Some folks are having issues with the 40 but are mostly getting them resolved.

good to know. maybe i'll take a chance.
i'm interested in the vapor flask and read some reports of issues. but maybe a build issue and not a board issue?
The taste has to do with the kind of wire you have to use to get the temp control to work. Some say it affects the flavor, and those who used it say it's not easy to coil and gets gunked up quickly

I've been vaping nothing but a DNA40 device since I got it 100% of the time using nickel wire and temp. My biggest attraction to temp control is the flavor and not inhaling torched juices & wick - which ultimately makes the flavor nastier, obviously, but also carries potential health risks.
As far as difference between the flavor of nickel vs kanthal, I don't get any funky taste off of nickel. I think whether a freshly wrapped coil from kanthal or nickel, the first few puffs are a bit weird but nothing significant and it fades quickly, then its shear bliss.
My kanthal DNA30 set ups would get gunked up after a few tanks. Not because I ever vaped sub-ohms or pumped the watts higher then 12, but because I like thicker sweet juices. With my DNA40 set to 410 degrees, I find it gunks up about half as fast. Now that I've got the hang of wrapping nickel wire coils, it takes no time and is a breeze. I wont ever dry burn a nickel coil, however, like I did with kanthal all the time to clean it, so instead I try to wipe it off with paper towel and clean wicks to wipe of the inside of the coils, but if its too gunked, I just re-wrap a coil in 2-5 mins and am back to perfection for a few more days. I get great vapor and flavor without torching anything and am extremely impressed.
Yeah, there have been issues with DNA40 boards, but evolv is good about rectifying any issues. I also can't access the nextgen website using a mac & safari. With the DNA 20 & 30 boards, I'd be willing to bet that issues with the futura were not the evolv boards, but something else.

Hello, Well I'm sitting here vaping on my original Futura (first 100 batch). And I thought of this thread again. LOL.. Yah their website is gone for me.
I've given mine a new finish, sat down with scotchbrite after it sustained too many dings and scratches and removed the cerakote, then I polished it to a mirror shine. Now it looks like the 250 whatever dollars it cost
hahaha.
Mostly I've been using Kick 2s in mechs the last few months because they're just smaller, as well as my VaporShark DNA..
welp... put a fork in 'er. she's done.

Sr'sly? how long has it been gone? their website seems to be gone.. Well I hope you get it back.
Actually mine is working just fine and perfectly fits my needs. I rarely go over 15 watts and it provides me with a very consistent vape. The only thing that annoys me is having to unscrew then screw back the bottom cap every once in a while to get an accurate battery reading. And that it goes through batteries really fast.

LOL, I thought it was just me. Yah I have to wiggle the battery cap too to get more battery life, weird.
Funny, since I received it(DNA30), at home, I rarely use anything else. I use one of them wide provari bottom caps and allways efest 30A 18650's I just checked this thread and am really amazed that nexgen is no more. The only complaint that I ever had is the initial wait time, haha
Mine is a DNA 20 and it does have this issue even with the regular provari bottom cap. But it is an issue with the old stock bottom cap spring. Newer ones may not have it.

I'm undecided if I should finally part ways with my Futura or not. No real problems with mine, dna20, Grey, works fine. And I so love the cerakote! Wish my wizard was cerakote finished.
