Just remember the DNA40 uses ni200 nickel wire for the TC. But some people have been experimenting with titanium wire. From what I'm reading you have to build the coil down to about 0.15 ohm. But as vapers do there are already a lot of builds that are working for people. I've been following it here to keep track of how the builds are going and if any issues show up. So far it's looking good and some people are loving it. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/variable-voltage-apv-discussion/612272-official-dna-40-introduction.html

You'll get the P3 and/or the DNA40 (because you have zero self-control) and you will throw all your other mods in the bone box. Guaranteed!

Yup he's got the worst case of shinyitis of anyone in here.
Or would it be the gotsthavits.

I know not what you speak of..
Yes, I'm still wrapping my mind around that nickel wire and the real low resistance. Not sure how that impacts my style of vaping. Lots of questions. I'll look at that link you posted. Thanks
I hope you have a lot of time on your hands..
That's why I have not eliminated the P3 from my list. I don't think I need more than 20 watts and not sure I need all the complexities that the DNA requires. That keeps the P3 in play for me.
Hmm. I just did a quick look-see and, without using group-buys, the version I looked at could be about $240 in parts - without shipping. While I think it would be fun to build, I think I'll just keep an eye open for a mfr'd BF DNA40. And I'll hold of actively searching for one 'til evolve gets all the bugs worked out.
Hey guys. I was recently watching a few KFL tutorials on youtube, and ran into this one which shows a different wicking technique. The guy places the ends of the wick into opposite sides, and then puts an extra piece of cotton over the coil. You can skip to 8:00 to watch him do it. Anyone here try this method before?
No, not me Volt. I've seen this method (along with just about every other method). Give it a go and see if you like it. My own personal experience is that the simple single coil with wick hanging over the edge in the well works as good as anything.
That's a bit much for a diy. And I'm thinking the same. Beta testing is good but not the same as getting feed back from users.
Just pulled the trigger on the Rose V2 from FT. SKU 1849800 
Well hey, it's only $23...
Wanted something to replace the KFL + I screwed up with the drill bit. Hope it comes out ok. I got the polished version with the stand and tools.

Oh noooo...I have a lifetime of supplies now...don't need any world changing updates
I know... every time I think I've bought something that will last "years" and I'm "set for life".... another version comes out or there's another "game changer" to try

That's why I quit chasing every new contraption that comes out. Easy to go broke.
I believe I'm cured...Zna Lites in new beautiful colors and they look awesome but I have no desire. It's not an issue of money have it to spend...just no desire
So yesterday I figure out the ohm checker is stuck and I need to reset the DNA. So instead of opening up the XPV I put the MX on it. Hey it's at .5 ohm so shouldn't take long to run it down to shut off right? Wrong! At .5 ohm the DNA switches to mech mode giving the volts the battery has. Well the battery was at 3.1 volts so it should have gave out in short order. Nope the darn thing lasted another 3+ hours. I was beginning to think it wasn't going to give up. The VCT5 is one tuff battery. Anybody know just why Sony stopped making them? I haven't heard.

How's that Dusty? Did I get it right?
I can't find the exact specs for the VCT5.... so this is just a caution to be careful how low you drain your batteries, taking a lithium based battery to too low of a voltage can be harmful to them potentially damaging them. In fact, taking them down to their minimum voltage that their manufacturer posts ( if they have posted it ) is still tough on them and limits their potential lifespan. Abusing a battery too much in this way... could lead to a catastrophic failure.
When I can't verify the lower voltage a manufacturer recommended... I never drop them below 80% of their fully charged amount... in this case that would be 3.36v ( since they can charge up to 4.2v ). I usually play it safe and round up to just 3.4v as the lowest I'd take one.
Both over charging or over draining a lithium based battery is bad for them.

Absolutely!! It's a personal sacrifice that I make..
