Let's Talk Hardware

I just took a look at Qorax's KF4 thread and I'll say that the subohm version might be of interest to me . It depends on whether or not it's sold as such . If you have to buy the basic unit and then purchase additional parts to upgrade it , then no dice . I hate that nickel and dime crap . Their are too many alternatives available .

I'm up and running in regular mode. It's nice. It feels good in my hand. Now I'm antsy to get going with the nickel builds.

Don't blame ya !

I've been playing with different toppers with different coils. It detects it immediately, you confirm it's a new coil then it just self adjusts to keep me at my set wattage. It's smarter than I expected in regular mode. Having a blast with it

Bronze, it is getting to be a little out of hand. At this year's Vape Summit, they held raffles to win the chance to BUY a mod. LOL

I don't get it.

I'm trying to refrain from speculating. It's hard not to. I just get this feeling they are going to charge a lot of loot for that thing. My understanding (knowing I could be totally wrong), is that you order your Kayfun the way you want it. In other words, it's a buffet of options and you just check off what you want. But I'm not sure on that. Just going by what I briefly heard from someone who is probably taking a stab at it himself.

David, you seem to know more about the DNA40 than anyone. My understanding is the "boost" is really the temp control feature which requires nickel wire. If you use Kanthal, there is no "boost" -like feature. Is this true?

I believe that is the case.

I believe that is the case.

Next question. How does the DNA know it has nickel wire on it? Or is it just a resistance thing? It reacts accordingly to very low resistance and that it is nickel is of no concern to the DNA?

ridiculous!

April- still want a pic of the VF in your hand when you get time.

$390 for that gizmo in that vid David posted is robbery. Bend over big time!!!

I agree Bronze. But it is attractive to me because of the size. There will be a clone that I can actually afford eventually.

That is a nice size. I would think you would be a candidate for a Vapor Shark.

Agreed... This is the DNA 30 version for $120 on their website... the rDNA 40 is only slightly larger and uses replaceable 18650 batteries and is $190 wireless charging capable built in ( rDNA 30 is $170 but wireless charging is an add-on )

Hey, that's my daughter's b-day, maybe she'll get me one.... Wait a minute, isn't that how it works when kids are grown and out on their own?

Someone on FB put a DNA40 board in the I stick.

I'll get to pics later in the week. Working the next 2 days.

Perhaps you are right about the more power being delivered, but the volts fly up, then settle back down. It's fun and faster than the provari mini.

Hmmm...odd. Can't figure that one out. That sounds like a boost feature. That would be cool if you got it on Kanthal. Boost is awesome!

It knows because it's very smart

I think it has a lot to do with the nickel itself, although I hear it's been reading some Ti coils.
