NEW DNA 40 is set to release!

[rhelton]

I just watched Bishop Heals video on the Hana dna 40. I have a better understanding of how this thing works now. You set your temp control to XXX, and you still set your wattage XX. So if you set it at 40w it will run at 40w until the coil hits the temp you set it to, then it will regulate the temp of the coil somwhere below what you set it to. For some reason I thought you either set watts or temp, but not both. Makes more sense now that you set both. He did say it tastes funny like Busardo did though. He brought up a good point to check. He will test to see if you can use nickel on mesh in a gennie, and also try it with silver wire.

Interesting either way, but now it does have a appeal to me, will keep watching to see what others say.

Here is a simple Resistor Temperature calculator if anyone wants to enter in some values and see what comes out.

Its a nice chip but i'm still on the fence. I don't have any information about the efficiency of the new wire type that is required vs. kanthal though i have my suspicions and besides the no wick burning its just a glorified power boost at the beginning of each hit.

Where did you get those actuators? It looks like they are mounted to your box and then push directly on the switches on the board. Looking for some classy switches for my build

From use it appears to be more efficient, certainly no less efficient. No wick burning is a HUGE thing, as is direct coil temperature control. You don't really realize how inaccurate regular vaping is until it's controlled.

The preheat function is, IMO, only appropriate in a temperature sensing mod.

Is this a real Evolv DNA40 board?
Evolv DNA 40D (retail box) | Protovapor.com

I've never dealt with Protovapor before. The site says it's an Evolv DNA 40D.
If this is real, what is the difference between this DNA 40D and the DNA 40 sold at Hyperion Vape?

afaik, D means display, even though they all have it so its a bit redundant

Thanks, I was also informed that Protovapor only uses and sells genuine Evolv boards. I guess the only difference is that Protovapors ship in a retail box vs a plastic or anti static bag. I'm finding it very difficult to prevent myself from pulling the trigger on this one. I keep thinking that I should wait until Evolv starts shipping the DNA 40 with that coating already on the board. Ah heck, pulling the trigger now..... noooooo I should wait. Shutting down my computer and going to watch some TV to get my mind off of this. Then the Vuse and Blu commercials start playing............

LOL, I agree. Was just pointing out that the retail box seems to be the only real difference.

Well, I've come to realize why almost all the dna mods are box mods - trying to come up with a way to do a 22 mm tube mod is a bear
