New modders board video seen......

[retird]

Saw this.....getting my parts list together for yet another project.....

VaperCon: Evolv DNA 20D (20 Watt Modders Board With OLED Display) - YouTube#!

 

[Commie]

Wow. I'm giddy

 

[jmarkus]

cant wait, xmas here we come! is there a price yet?

 

[Dieseler]

Saw that video link in another thread also. Will be interesting indeed to see how this all pans out.

 

[Skyway]

I would even get it if it wasn't 20watt. I love the idea of including an OLED screen with it. I can see some nice projects coming out with that.

 

[MXBNW]

Saw this over the weekend. should be a nice to play with.

Waiting on price point. For me 20w is a bit much and the display was never a deal breaker on the dna chip. But will pick up a few when they come out to play with just the same.

ZOMG!! Totally cool!!

I'm with you Retird - I see another project for me too. woohoo!!

Gad... it's a great time to be a modder!!

Think I'm gonna like having the fire button and wattage adjust button built on the board.....alot less wiring and more compact.....gotta start looking for a smaller package to put it in.....

 

[MXBNW]

I wonder if we will be able to bypass the switch to use our own.

This is going to be very interesting

As soon as I find out what size the board is and how it's configured with the up/down wattage control the search for a beeuuutiful aluminum case to put it in is on! If the board is not too big, it may fit in the Lexi case.

Awesome too that we don't need to wire in a trimmer!!

I'm thinking this is gonna be totally easy peasy!

I'm thinking maybe one or maybe 2 of these......

I agree. I like some fancier buttons. I'd hope to see through-hole solder lugs for switch alternatives, as well as alternative adjustment controls. You know, if I want to design a box with the location of all the external components in specific spots. I'll be watching for the release. Price-point is going to be the biggie. I mean, Brandon has developed a one-of-a-kind electronics design for our demographic, so we're limited to what he can deliver and at whatever price-point he demands. I've talked to my eldest step-son, who's an EE @ TI about developing a circuit that performs in-kind with Brandon's creations, but he's so busy with his career that it's like pulling teeth just to get him to cut the grass lol. I'll be watching...

I'm getting about 3/4 of a day of vaping time @ 14W with the 1200mAh, 20C li-poly. There's not enough room in the Lexi case to fit 2.

So I took that batt out, shortened the atty switch contacts in the Lexi (I needed room to slide the li-poly batt under the switch contacts), and am now able to fit one of these 1500mAh, 20C li-poly batts. It comes wired 2 batts in series, so I desoldered and took them apart to use just one. Now I'm getting 1-1/2, sometimes almost 2 days, vaping time.

Another option I have used in the Lexi is 3.7v IMR High Drain 18350 - 800mAh - 2 in parallel......getting 1.5 to 2 days at 8.4 watts..... thinking that removing the big fire button and the pot will free up some room in which ever enclosure used, but we will see....

decisions....decisions....what fun....

 

[retird]

From the video of the beta version it shows thru holes at each button locations.....that may indicate auxiliary buttons can be used.....but we will know more when the final version is available....

Yep, watched the vid a few times my self

This is going to be one cool chip to play with.

Wow, love the new board. Just when you were lusting the last DNA board they had.

And then there is that other modders board out from Russia is it?
