Official DNA 40 introduction

[dougward1960]

Quick update. Used my 30ga kanthal and 30ga ni200.

Here's the build. 9 wraps around 3/32. Deliberately done to copy my previous build with 28ga NI instead

Came up to 0.51 ohm

After juicing and wicking it dropped to 0.34 on ohm meter, 0.33 on my rdna40

First round of vaping settings are at: 17 watts, 450F. Horrendous vape. Wattage surged to 39.9 W for 2 secs, super loud crackling, but poor vapor production.

Observed that temperature hovers and stops at around 290F. This is compared to the 28ga Ni + 30ga kanthal build which hovered around 390F. Overall it was just a very bad vape.

Second round: tuned TP down to 330F, still at 17W. Wattage spikes up to 22W for 1 sec and throttles down to 17 W. Temperature still hovers around 290F.

Here's the kicker: super good vapor production, flavor and everything is awesome.

Currently vaping at 22W, temp peaks at 310 and holds stable.

Conclusion: no bloody idea hahahahahahahaha

i guess you answered my question as i said i see your coil wires go into holes but you didnt show the other side but i think i get it now. a picture of the bottom side where the grub screws are was what might have helped but i got it now thanks

I was wrong by assuming that you already have Rose V2 and new how it works. I thought you were only interested in my unusual vertical build on it.

Here is a picture that shows one of the grub screws on the side.

thank you no i dont have one but i like the vertical col you have on yours but i couldnt tell how coil is attached. now i see how seems the rose would be less likely to cut wires and that you'd be able to really secure your coil ends and eliminate a lot of the headaches associated with nickle builds

They've been out of stock forever and they had an estimated 13 week ship time. Good to see they're back in stock.




Heh. I don't know anyone there. Just stuff I've read online from various sources. I don't even have one yet so I can't tell you how to check for the version.




I should get my rDNA 40 tomorrow so most likely it'll be a v1 or v2 board. I'm not too worried because Evolv has been really good about replacements on any mod with their boards. I'm sure they'll take care of you if the manufacturer doesn't.




Sorry, haven't seen anything about the Celsius verison yet.

FWIW, Temco's website was showing 13 weeks when I ordered nickel wire from them a few weeks ago and it shipped out in about 5 days. Doesn't mean the backlog is not now 13 weeks, but I suspect that's a standard notice they put up to cover themselves.

You're a better man than I. I saw the 13 weeks and moved on

Then there was also the fella who ordered, THEN saw the 13 weeks 2 days later and cancelled his order

It wasn't me.

Not really -- I covered my a__ and ordered some from Lightning Vapes too. (And I think I might have seen that exact same lead time on some other products there, which just made me suspicious of it.) I think I have enough nickel for a while. Specially since I decided to start with Titanium, I think. Either that or Ni/Kanthal twisted. Or both.

Course first I need to get a DNA 40 to use it on. Was gonna' build a mod, and still plan to, but having just seen VS's 20% off deal, I have the feeling an rDNA might be finding its way into my hot grubby paws before the mod building gets completed.

Hopefully, I have my grubby paws on one tomorrow

All my Ni200 came directly from Temco in less than a week (last week), except 28awg, which is on backorder. I would have rather bought it from their ebay store, but Paypal is being a pita atm. (trouble getting a new card "confirmed")

Very nice!

I highly recommend one of the FT Stingray X driptips to go with the Veritas (beastly). Nice clean wiring job too!

Thanks! That tip does finish it off the veritas nicely.

I went with delrin on everything eventually. The metal is rough on the teeth when driving in particular. Maybe I should talk him into a black veritas to be a total stealth mod.

I've explained to my buddy that he is a lucky bastage.
