Official DNA 40 introduction

[aldenf]

Nothing on Earth is 100% safe.

I think we lose that perspective in today's world. Life ain't safe. We're all going to die eventually, of something. The more safe we try to make life, the more we encroach on individual freedoms and the less fun we have. On the other hand, there is a difference between fun and pure stupidity. That line is somewhat grey, however, and often like beauty: in the eye of the beholder.

Agreed...so if a person has concerns about nickel they can continue to use Kanthal and while they are at it...not run high watts to ensure minimal juice degradation...that person does not need DNA40 because they will vape in safe limits of heat and temperature...with or without regulation.

Thing is, I don't subohm and yet I still manage to burn wick occasionally. This is why I want to try the dna 40 so that I can use Nickel and get the benefit of no burnt wicks and no juice breakdown...

To each his/her own, no one forces us to vape any certain way....yet.

I know that Innokin make some zodiac styled mods, but I haven't seen a zodiac Provari. Do you have a link?

Not that I dispute the DNA40 being a Provari killer... safety is what Provape focuses on in their marketing, and despite the doubts I see some people having about nickel (anyone remember nichrome, btw?), the DNA40 seems like a big step up in safety to me.

Don't get me wrong, my Provari is still the best mod in my collection, but with the DNA40 I think Evolv gave Provape a hard kick in the hindquarters.

Children (mentally or physically) are the only people I know who are concerned about "this" Killers and "that" Killers. It really would be splendid if at least one thread on this forum didn't take a pot shot at something...can we stay focused and not feed the trolls, that is the question?

Good, bad, liked, hated, relevant or irrelevant...the topic of this thread is DNA40...when you bring the Provape to this it will derail and therefore it is off topic.

Unless, you want to compare regulation methods.....

Countless threads have proven that the "marketing" experts among us are anything but.

No law says that you can't have more than one mod type...I plan to have both.

And buy at least two more Provari's before year's end. maybe three...they make wonderful gifts.

 

[Dampmaskin]

You do have a point, but at the same time, Provape and Evolv are two of the biggest (or the two biggest) US high quality tech providers in the vaping world right now, so in any discussion about one of the companies I think it's inevitable that comparisons to the other one will be brought up at some point.

Absolutely. I already have one, and I will get the other as soon as conveniently possible.

But doesn't the temperature control regulation just amaze you? Having vaped a very long time, I am frankly quite proud that there is excellent innovation happening.

Agreed, but it is in what context they come up...as a snarky off-topic comment or in relevant discussion.

Frankly, I would love to see Provape use the board in some model or another...it is American made so it would not violate their stance on buying American components.

It does. Evolv did it again. It's unbelievable. And to think I just bought my first DNA board a week ago (DNA30), and I haven't even gotten to installing it in anything yet. Now I'm not even sure if I ever will. It depends on what arrives first: The hardware I have ordered to make the body of the mod, or the DNA40 that I will soon order.

Yeah, that stuff gets tiresome. Even Provape are better at renewing themselves than the trolling that goes around these parts.

Same here. Or they could license the tech from Evolv, and make their own chip. Best of both worlds. In either case, I hope they decide to team up in one way or another.

cut it out...no trolling or trolling the troll or trolling the troll that trolled the troll








geez, I need an aspirin after that

Yeah..I wondered what the owners of DNA30 were thinking about such a rapid release of DNA40...What were you building? A box?

Sorry Classy....

Sorry. My harsher side got the better of me. I'll behave.

Long story. The plan started as a wooden squonker, but it mutated into a 3D printing project, crossbred with this pipe tobacco can semi-mech mod project, and then I realized there was plenty space left in the box for a DNA chip. I'm honestly not sure where it will end up. My 3D printer will be shipped in two days from now.

I'll probably know more after I've spent 20 hours assembling the machine, another 20 hours calibrating it, and likely yet another 50 hours cursing the hundred different ways that prints can fail.

Well....that sounds amazing!!! DNA40 is supposed to be released next week...maybe you could get one and put the 30 into something else?

 

[Rossum]

Excitement! I own a number of DNA20 and DNA30 mods. Since the DNA40 board is exactly the same size as the DNA20 and DNA30, it's entirely feasible to upgrade them. There's coop for DNA40s running right now (but if you blink you'll miss it) and the savings over the announced price of the DNA40 board is quite substantial.

 

[Dampmaskin]

Yes, once (or if) I get the design and the 3D printing of the internal parts perfected, the only thing that will limit how many I can make, is the number of old tobacco boxes I can get my hands on.

I was going to ask you where, but then I realized it's probably Fahrenheit boards. Being an European, I'm going to wait for the Celsius (or user selectable) boards.

Man, I hope they will be user selectable.

If all goes well, I'll make enough tobacco box mods that I can sell some. And then the DNA30 will definitely end up in one of them.

LOL there are 15 of them...

I like this one though...blllluuueee...Yum!

Nice boxes. A shame that the sizes aren't standardized, though. I have one Capstan box and one Premier Cru box right now, so that's two different sizes already. If I were to buy even more different sizes, I'd be spending so much time adapting my CAD model files that I wouldn't have the time to vape.

I'll figure it out, but first things first; I'm new to 3D printing so I think I'll start out by making one box at a time.

Ah bummer....would have loved that blue one in a DNA40 Fahrenheit version...

This is a staggeringly intelligent circuit board...and from what I gather from the Phil interview, it will not be priced out of range of previous DNA products.

I have to say this was my immediate first impression, first upon learning of the technology and then upon using the boards. What these boards are doing is several levels above what anything else is doing now. Which is partly because Evolv's previous DNA boards are working on a level above what other boards are doing now as well.
