Well that sucks, but it does kinda confirm what I have been thinking, that there are boards out there that have the glitch problem but not severe enough to actually glitch the screen in most cases. Just cause other wonky behaviors.

Here's the question weighing on my mind: would those who have DNA40 boards now purchase another? My local B&M has VaporFlasks coming in today and I've been considering getting one.
OK, being new to all this...
I have a VSrDNA being delivered tomorrow.
What are the checks for a bad 40 board?
So far I've got:
(1) Put TP on, set at 40w, run a day, to see if it glitchs
(2) Watch for odd resistance fluctuation
(3) Put unit in the freezer, without and with addy, vape, glitch?
anything else?
I knew I should have waited a few months

i will but not till the dust settles for quite awhile. temp control is an awesome feature when it works properly but a nightmare when it dont.
I absolutely would.... BUT... If the B&M won't let you do it there, I'd get some sort of acknowledgement up front that if you find out it has glitches that you can bring it back right away and swap it for another. Take it home, slap a nice dual coil build on it, set the TP and fire it at 40W for a bit and make sure the screen doesn't glitch. Even then it looks like you can't be absolutely certain it doesn't have a wonky attitude, but I think it's a fair judge. Since getting my second board I've had absolutely 0 problems with it and absolutely love it. I wouldn't trade it for anything at this point. In fact, I haven't touched a single other mod since I've had it.
I just emailed Hana service with my observations and tests. Hopefully it's a bad board.
If not, I'm definitely not happy with the way it's constantly lowering my resistance after a 7 minute sleep. The issue and tests can be duplicated repeatedly and with same results. The consistancy and vape experience, for me, is all over the board.
I want to say that all the stuff I have posted were my observations and my thoughts on MY device and it's possible issues. Not saying they are all like this. I just shared my testing and results incase somebody is troubleshooting.
Hoping it's just a bad board.

Not sure about the freezer. I'd think the device can't survive freezing.OK, being new to all this...

Man, I feel like a kindergartner in a college math class! I've got the VS DNA40 on the way and I'm a little skert!! I'm gonna have to re-read this whole thread to get a head start! Thanks for all of everyone's input, it will make things much easier to hit the ground running with this thing!
So the 'put the mod in the fridge' test will probably show up pretty fast a screen glitch I suppose... How cold are we talking about? My fridge is working at -22F right now... Maybe a bit too low no?

Both the fridge and the freezer are wet, cold environments. Probably not good for electronics.
I'm thinking maybe you could try Ice pack or gel pack wrapped in cloth and lay the device on it and let it wick up some cold. I did the the other night with the kayfun cooling test, but I left the mod outside of the gel pack.
I have and I'll probably order a third.
About testing for the screen glitch, you'll notice it sooner or later. It happens on firing the device. But it's just very very very random. Sometimes it won't happen for a long time, sometimes it happened every time directly after battery reset and fire button. So don't count on the fridge actually being the cause for triggering the screen glitch, might as well have been (bad) luck.
For the record I have many years of real time embedded systems development and debugging experience. Just sayin`
Do these problem units function correctly with spaced Ni coils and TP off. That is the first question to answer.
I say spaced coils just for consistency in testing not because I`m convinced it matters.

i only put it in the freezer for 8 minutes i only did this to replicate the cold weather outside. i in no way recommend thay anyone do this. mine was giving terrible vape once it got cold and people kept saying it was loose connections which my test proved my connections were fine as atty resistance DIDNT change at all when atty was in freezer for 10 minutes freeze at own risk

My apologies sir I never meant to insult your bad connections!
But what is really strange is that resistance went up in the cold. Hope it gets fixed with a new chip.

OK I'll hold off on the freezer.
Although, where I moved from, its going down to 15deg tonight
Not much different than leaving the mod in the car overnight.
It shouldn't ever get up... That's why we were questioning a possible bad connection, full contact coil, etc, etc etc
A bad connection doesn't need to be at the post screws... Even the 510 connector base can play havoc since usually there are different metals with different properties at play (copper vs steel for example)

If it cant survive freezing then they have a serious problem. These guys aren't dummies. Surely they thought of freezing conditions when they designed these things. Think of all of the other day to day devices that work in freezing temperatures.
My fridge is one of those no frost ones... It actually dries out everything not bagged or closed in a container.
The problem might be when you remove it from the fridge and condensation forms in ambient temperature... Not good for the board
