Rebuilt the MX. Went with dual .8 ribbon @ 5 wraps like I had in the Z. Came in at .4 ohms which cut the heat time to about 1 sec same as the Z. Switching between the wide bore tip that came with it and the long I was using on the Z. I'm able to use the short tip because it's not getting near as hot. So far I like it. Can't really go wrong for $23.

Agree...the DNAs will take from ProVape more than anything else.

Don't really think it'll drop by much. That hurt the B/M sales to much. But then I could be wrong. As for the DNA40 I'm still holding off for now as I don't need a new PV yet. Plus I look for Evolv to make a few adjustments after they've had a chance to get some feed back about everyday usage. But if someone comes out with a DNA40 bottom feeder I may have to think about getting one sooner.:laugh:

Saw this on the Veritas thread and it made me think of you. :)

I just wish Evolv would add that boost feature. If they did I would be sold now.

Finally got tired of 28 ga on my Kayfun so I drained the half tank that was in there and switched it back to 30ga. MUCH BETTER!

David...I do not like waiting for wire to heat up. AT ALL!


Up the voltage a bit..

I've seen a couple of one-offs, but if you feel like building your own from 3D printed materials, gdeal has an entire thread that started with the DNA30, but there are instructions for the DNA40. I have been tempted many times to build this, but just haven't been able to get enough round tuits.

OK, here's what I have learned today from a couple peeps on the Veritas thread. The new DNA 40, in fact, has a power boost feature integral to the temperature control feature. When pressing the fire button, the power surges quickly to get the coil up to temperature so we don't have to wait for the coils to produce vapor. This was the feature that I found attractive on the new P3. As far as I'm concerned, the P3 is no longer on an elevated field. And also, as far as I'm concerned, this boosting feature is a major game changer. David and I have been griping recently about how the thicker wires take too long to heat up. Our choices were to put up with it or jack up the power. Neither option was good. But with these power surges in the new P3 and DNA40, our problem is solved. Now we can go with thicker gauge wire, not have to worry bout dwell time, and get more area for vapor production. This said, I think it opens up another can of worms (in a good way). It will continue to put more pressure on wicking (not that we haven't already seen this). Will the wicks keep up with the juice demand? I think this puts more pressure on the designers to find better ways to wick. They need to think out of the box...perhaps ditching the whole idea of wicks and go to something like injection. Wicks are carburetors of the car world. Automobiles went to fuel injection in the 80's. Maybe it's time the e-cig world goes to juice injection and eliminate wicks altogether. After that? Maybe another way to create vapor without wire.

Just thinking ahead.

My world too, General. I was looking for a solid box mod for home. This will let me use my KFL's/ErlP in the 10 - 15W range as well as let me shift to the Magma in the 20 - 30W range without missing a beat. Don't need unregulated mech anymore.

Wattage controlled by me, and I can assure you it's not going up that high! :)

I got it for CAD$105 with 4 of the Efest 2500 mah batteries. Too good of a deal to pass up.

*RJ* just got a ZNA Lite and from what I can tell, I'm thinking hard about going to regulated mods. Damn shame too, seeing as I've got enough mechs to supply the Red Wings with. or to use your parlance, the Leafs. :D

LOL!!! IA, I know when I get a P3 or DNA40 I wont want anything to do with my old mods. I suspect that will be true with many people.


Which is exactly why I went with the 100W.. and not the P3 or DNA40. ;)

Jeezaloo , I wanna clarify something . I am not anti authentic . The remarks I made were just me BS'ng with Bronze and not intended as a judgement on April's purchase , they were meant simply as an opinion on the price in regards to me and nothing else and as I said I'm sorry if they caused offense to April , that was not my intent . But I am anti ripoff , I spent $200 on Blu gear when I started this venture , you don't always get what you pay for . One thing I do know though is if you copy crap you wind up with two piles of it .

I was pickin up what you were puttin down retic. :)

If it means anything, I didn't read anything into your opinion about it.

ps. this reply is probably REALLY REALLY late. Love you man!
