No not expecting one but was considering ordering one until i read the rDna thread and there were tons of people complaining about faulty boards and ridiculous delivery times so i sort of gave up on the idea until i read your post and was reminded of it again. I was just wondering if the problems have been solved.
I did receive an email back on Dec. 17 from VS stating that there was an issue with the Evolv boards. Prior to placing my original order on Dec. 15 I did send an email to VS asking about the issues with the Evolv board. The response I received was "As of now there is no fix, as 10% of the boards that were given to us had issues." When I was at VapeRev last week I noticed that one of the mods they were using was the VS DNA30 for people to test eliquids. I did bring up the rDNA40 and the guy mentioned one of the guys that works there had an issue with the VapeRev Flask and he sent it in for repair. As I had totally forgotten about the email I received I didn’t think to ask when the guy bought his Flask or what the issue was. I believe VS has/had a huge backlog to fill. Someone I know received his VS rDNA40 about a week and a half ago, loves it and has had no issues. Anyhow this is the email I received (was surprised I still had it in my Deleted Items folder).
rDNA 40 UPDATE!
Firstly, we deeply appreciate your patience through the challenges we’ve faced during the production of our rDNA 40. As you may know, the issue was identified as faulty screens and a quality control issue at a third party circuit board supplier. Evolv has now corrected this issue with a new batch of circuit boards and a new detachable screen.
Here at Vapor Shark we have been working proactively to increase production levels with Evolv and we are finally getting out of the weeds! Aside from beginning to get caught up, we brainstormed ways to make the best of a difficult situation…and more importantly, how that translates into something tangible for our customers.
Just because we were dealt a production setback doesn’t mean that we stopped innovating. Now we’re making your rDNA 40 even better than expected...so here’s a little surprise for you guys.
Your rDNA 40s will come with previously unannounced improvements... extra goodies! Rather than waiting to unveil an updated version of our device, we’ve added some new and improved features. Your rDNA 40 will now come equipped with:
Larger Screen: The numbers and characters in this new format are 30% larger (the new version runs at 128 x 32 pixels v.s. 96 x 16 in previous versions).
Zip Charge: As the name implies, your rDNA 40 will now zip through the charging process in less than half the time of previous models!
Zip
Reverse Polarity Buzzer: When inserting your battery the wrong way, not only does this device boast reverse polarity protection, but it will beep until the battery is inserted correctly.
We can’t wait to get these in your hands! We know you’ll be quite pleased as your rDNA 40s begin to arrive in early January. All orders currently processing will ship within the next few weeks. No more backorders!
We are currently in production with this upgraded rDNA 40 model and we’ll send your tracking number as we begin shipping.
Thanks again for your understanding, your patience and your business.
I've been vaping since 2008 and didn't want to deal with building my own coils because I thought it was too much of a hassle. I wish I would have started earlier.
