Yes it does but you have to use different temps to achieve the same effect... I think people said start with 200 but I've personally never used titanium
Correct, it does. I started at 200, no vapor. Had to get to around 300 before it produced much. I run with it set to 330.

As much as I'm not a fan of RIP, (other than coil building), that is a great introduction to the Evolv dna 40.

Yeah me neither until I realized it was just an online persona ... His early videos are a lot more "tame". as far as getting the info out, I find his videos very high def and informative thought have found some findings contrary to his

He's entertaining, and stays pretty current, especially with RDAs. Pbusardo nails it when it comes to RTAs, but not quite as entertaining.

I'm interested to see how Rip feels about nickel/temp protection over the next couple months, since he said he'll be doing more vids with it. In my experience, temp protection is a nice feature, but I still prefer my kanthal builds. They're easier and more consistent at least for me. The best thing that the DNA 40 has done for me is as a diagnostic - it's a great way to tell how my wicking is performing, and how many watts work best with different atomizers.

BOOM!

Couldn't have said it any better. Kanthal > Nickel any day :vapor:

I have no clue who that is

Edit: oh Pegasus vaping... Ahh it was a joke about the release date pricing... Very tongue in cheek... I should email him apologizing if he took offense... Also.. Kinda overly sensitive... But who am i to judge who knew stating facts about how much a cloned mod would be trolling... But I see his point

I remember several great posts of yours in the rayon discussion. Is there objective data that makes you prefer titanium? Or is it just a matter of nickel irritating you (which is objective enough, mind :) )?

    If anyone wants a good laugh, read this article below about the dangers of e cigs.

    Lol lets not go there. Lets not go there! This is totally going to derail this thread! :p

    But seriously if corrupt scientists stoop so low as to measure dry hits and pass this off as usual behavior I doubt the temp feature will help haha.

    PS: It WOULD be an interesting study to go to a vape meeting / convention and test the vapor of random people and see how hot they are actually vaping in real life with their actual mods / atties. Might not be representative though.

    You really should break the link.

    It's nothing but summation of the antis' sound-bite talking points, every one of which is based on misleading statistics or samples/conditions that are way outside the norm.

    I guess he was too busy defending himself from that other crazy dude that he didn't even read what quote I was referring too... I say buy from the guy! It seems like a good mod!

    I for one will not be buying one (I had planned to) after this.. Especially having the audacity to call me out on YouTube... I have trolled b4 with good reason but this time, he was wrong


    Sorry for the interruption... Back to the dna 40 porn

    Who cares about Pegasus and or his delusions of grander with his non existent fantasy mod.

    I was able to build a parallel 18650 DNA40 mod cheaper actually 2 of them
    VapeDroid 3D printed B2-D1 Mk.2 US Version $70 each shipped from shapeways
    DNA40 from round1 co-op with USB charger $45.39 each shipped
    FD 510 V3 Connectors with 22mm washers like $7.00 each shipped from Fatdaddyvapes
    $70
    $45.39
    $7.00
    total = $122.39
    Lets add some Ni200 and batteries I already had both, but for sake of argument
    Pure Nickel Wire 28 Gauge AWG Ni200 100' $7.25 shipped Lightning Vapes (Ebay)
    MXJO 18650 batteries I got from a local B&M I go to cost me 12.50 a pair
    $122.39
    $12.50
    $7.25
    Grand total $142.14 each granted I still have one board that is glitching and sent back to Evolv for the second time, Replacement board glitched during testing before install so I sent it back right away, still waiting on the replacement of the replacement.

    That only holds if your time and labor is worth nothing.
