New DNA200 Mod "Walnut" from Element Mods

Thoughts? Is it worth it? It costs 2x more than other dna200 mods in the market. It looks good though.

I don't see $400 worth of mod there. I see a DNA200 stuffed into an easy to produce chassis, and a wood sticker slapped on the sides.

I agree with you on this. Everyone is now jumping on the DNA 200 gravy train

It only comes with a 900mah battery as well.

But its a 3cell, doesn't that mean 900x3?

There are no pictures, that I can find, of how it looks inside. At 399, it better be flawless.

Is there glue inside? Is the DNA board easily replaceable, or is it epoxy-ed in?

Is the lipo soldered on, or does is it connected via a plug?

Is the 510 easily replaceable, serviceable by the user (should EM disappear)? How is the 510 connected to the O-frame? Is it prone to coming loose?

And what happens when that glued on (I'm assuming) walnut inlay warps due to humidity changes, or getting wet, or getting e-liquid stains on it and needs to be washed?

Their website says, "Do not open the side panels, this is a sealed device and there is no need to peek inside."

Yeah, except when there is. Vape companies come and go and all battery technology eventually needs to be replaced.

I've already had to self-service a Hana Modz mod twice, due to minor, 510 positive pin issues.

If the inlay could be gently heated and pried off, and therefore replaced with a DIY design, should the need arise, it would be more interesting.

I've email them about these questions, but have not heard back yet.

It does look beautiful. And their logo is well-designed and tastefully placed; a rarity in itself.

But seriously, a mod at this price really needs to be user-serviceable-friendly.

Great questions to ask, would be great if you could paste their reply here.
