Also the knowledge base to be able to use the temp control and Ni200 needs to mature. Thats not going to happen if Evolv never released it. With the impending FDA regs, they may have released it earlier than they would have wanted, to get the ball rolling faster. With possibly thousands of units in the hands of vapers, the knowledge base will grow quickly. It is not for the timid or inexperienced at this stage IMO, and building coils with Ni200 requires more care and attention to detail.
Prebuilt Ni200 coils for popular clearo's will make the temp control system available to an even broader base of users. I think the benefits are a necessary step in the right direction to eventually make vaping safer, easier and more enjoyable for all users regardless of experience, which would hopefully convert more smokers to vaping. Here's hoping.

Accurate temperature control IS the way of the vaping future. I felt that way with the first mechanical I ever used and have been waiting for downstep regulation and temperature control to come into existence - it is an inevitable evolution of the technology. The restriction of Ni only wire will also been short lived (I believe) as the only means of it and I am sure other onshore and offshore manufacturers are working on the tech as we speak. Its an exciting time for vaping.
I don't fear a whig about FDA regulations. The entire government legal and regulation system is so antiquated and unable to keep up to tech and all you have to do is remove the nic from the equation and its a highly regulated flashlight. They won't be able to regulate s*it.

Well I have all the required parts now and am waffling on the case. I've fiddled with the case I posted earlier and it's looking like its going to be a real pain in the ..... No way to build anything inside it so I have to build it all outside and then try to cram it all down into it. Not easy. Thinking about building a dual battery rig in an Altoids can. Thoughts?

Alright, where the heck did everybody go?!?

I ordered one of these Hana Modz Enclosures from Fasttech for $20.43. You could also try snagging some of these $5.00 DNA 30 Enclosures, but they tend to run out and restock, so you have to keep checking back. (If you do get hit the sit when they're in stock, maybe you could either PM me or grab a couple extra for me and I'll pay you for the boxes and the postage.)
Also, this thread is getting a lot more traffic and might be a better place to post these questions: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/variable-voltage-apv-discussion/612272-official-dna-40-introduction-180.html#post14584202. And this one: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/coil-builds/613433-dna-40-nr-nickel-builds.html.
Thanks. I've got two of the $5 hana cases. Trying to build a two battery in parallel mod.

If you mean series battery, no. It runs on a 1S battery configuration.
When did you get the $5 cases? They've been out of stock on those forever.
I just got some -- they had them in stock for... oh, I don't know, maybe a few hours? I've got the page open in a browser and refresh it every morning, plus whenever I happen to see it. I happened to pass by it, refreshed it, they had them, and I ordered some. Actually there's an option on the page to receive an email when they're back in stock. After I saw they were back in stock, I looked at my email and realized they had sent me an "in-stock" update just a little before I coincidentally refreshed the page and saw they were in stock. They don't last long, that's for sure.
Best way to get all the epoxied stuff loose/removed from the box? Isopropyl alcohol? Chisel? lol
How long ago? I've been checking every day for the last week or 2. I tried calling them and just got voice mail.
If it's hot glue, Isopropyl alcohol works great.
I ordered it Tuesday, 11/18 at 10:22 PM. I had actually gotten an email from them at 7:57, which I had thought -- up until just now -- was automatically generated in response to an auto-request to be notified, but in re-reading that email, I see that it was actually in response to a message I left via their contact tab, and I don't think their in-stock notification email was auto-generated, which I would think might lessen the chance of getting the in-stock notification email.
I ordered a couple of extras; I could send one or two to you if we can figure out a way to do it without my having to traipse to the post office or pay more than the boxes are worth to UPS. PM me in you're interested and we'll figure it out.

I guess it's wait for DNA50 for me, or DNA40 v2. I honestly could do without all the glitches I've been reading about. Especially when I should pay good money for it.
I picked mine up from a B&M that had them shipped a week ago. No issues thus far. Temp control is a bit of a learning curve as is nickel coils, but aside from a Russian deck fail that took me 10 minutes to sort out, its been working like a champ - none of the issues talked about here so far. The B&M also backs it up with a swap warranty, so I feel confident that I'm covered. I also have a rDNA30 as a trusty backup. With the devices they are shipping now I don't think you have anything to worry about, but if you can get it from a B&M with that kind of coverage, its good peace of mind.
Vey nice, glad you got it up and running problem free! Had to send mine back last Wednesday. I'm such a ..... for it I ordered another on Monday!!
Did you get it online from them or someone else? Did you buy it in the initial release or later?
