Back in the day I could buy 5 Vamos for the price of one Provari.

I believe I might have said something like that--back in the day. Except it was 5 sigelei minis. :lol: Then I bought a Provari. :p

Industrial strength? ;)

Now the Chinese are cloning the Chinese.
They've been doing that for a while. Quite a few years ago, we ordered two identical 90W Lenovo laptop power supplies from some vendor over there. Well, they sure were identical, right down to the serial number. This made us scratch our heads and do some testing. The original supply would power those machines just fine no matter how what torture-test software we ran. The clones? Nope. It tool less than 30 seconds of Prime95 to make them cry "Uncle". Now Lenovo is a quintessentially Chinese company with revenues in excess of $40 billion and strong ties to the government. If they can't stop their trademarks from being infringed over there, the prospects are hopeless for anyone in the vape business (or in my business, for that matter).

This thread stirred a lot of controversy.

It did. On the other hand, ss 316L 28 AWG wire is backordered for 3 months at Temco. :shock: So maybe this thread is doing what it's supposed to do, after all. ;)

I also have a question to ya'll DNA 75 experts. If I were in the market, hypothetically, of course, for a DNA 75 mod, would this be a decent choice? KTM says he likes the manufacturer. I couldn't find any reviews. Thoughts? Recommendations? Hypothetically. :sneaky:

$63.50 Authentic SBody Artisan DNA75C 75W TC VW APV Box Mod - 1-75W / 3.0V-4.2V / 1*18650 / 0.9" TFT color screen at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

TC? Wismec Presa 75W, eVic mini, Vaporflask lite, Pico.
OK, you are "initiated" then. I think it is likely to be a damn good mod. The companies previous mods were all well received. Their build quality is very decent.

Dont know about this "Artisan" as it is new, but I would not hesitate if the style appealed to me and I was in the market for one.

The 75C brings an awesome menu to the table. You can deign your own or download from dozens out there. The new menu certainly makes the DNA line MUCH easier to use. No more click two buttons three times, hold your tongue to the left, then click fire twice, then stomp your foot 4 times, stuff going on.

Do keep in mind, Evolv will be releasing the color DNA250 before Christmas so if that has any appeal to you, you might choose to wait.

Oh, I thought Brandon was contemplating a new mod. Too bad.

Provari vs. Darwin. :D
He is, but not this one. My crystal ball tells me it will be a newbie friendly pod style. Evolv is trying to get back to their roots and get people off the stinkies. Their current products are too complicated for the little ole lady that lives next door and simply wants to quit.

Which company is still in business?

One might ask, "Who knew when to get out when the going was good?" ;) (NO judgement call there, as I adore both manufacturers. If I could get my D'win and my Provi to just mate...) ;)

Hold that thought.


Water! Hold THAT thought too (please)! :)

Funny but I was thinking along the same lines (who knew!). Something like, "Who is sitting on a beach counting millions while we sit here doing this?"

:cool:

I could be wrong, but I really doubt that a DNA250C would do anything at all for @Katya that a DNA75C wouldn't do just as well.
