I am quite mistaken... INCLUDES Installation and return shipping... so actually not a bad deal... My apologies...
Yea,there are few reviews of this device and not a lot of people seeking it out so that could be a blessing for all of us who do have them.That would mean we get faster repair service/customer service and quicker delivery times.
I got mine a day or two ago... dna40 XPV
Zero glitches.
It came fully charged and vaping in rotation (chain vape a slew of mods- low nic) the batt really takes a licking and keeps ticking (charge readout finally went down a notch).
I am pleased with how light it is, yet very durable. I have a titanium dripper on it now, and talk about your "point and shoot"... very comfortable in the hand (ergonomic).

I ordered my xpv 40 on 10/14 and back then it was kinda like a closely guarded secret. /lol Time marches on so to speak and more folks are aware of THE MOD MAKER on steroids. /lol
Reason #1 - They DO NOT provide free review units so of course a lot of reviewers never touch them. No youtube no viral buzz and talkie. Fine with me! /lol
Reason 2 - They are built per order. One by one from your order. A lot of folks want instant gratification.
Reason 3 - This is a function trumps form build so a lot of folks understandably gravitate to the subjectively cooler looking and or smaller 40 mods.
Disclaimer: I have NO skin in the game. I was not asked or compensated in any form to make this post. Their is not enough money in Fort Knox for me to ever evangelize a product which I do not use daily and believe in. And yes I have an early board with the silicone blob fix which works fine.
EDITED for clarity
Thank you! /lol

I've had my DNA40 Protovapor about a week now. No issues with using the device at all. I am very pleased with it in all respects, save one.
The battery charging takes three times as long as any other device I have. I have the VaporShark, same size battery. I did an experiment and got them both fully charged. Put on as similar attys and builds as I could and used them side by side for half a day. Put them both on chargers and the ProtoVapor took three time as long to return to a full charge as the VS. Anyone have any ideas?

Mine charges very slow also. VS uses a higher amp charging board. My VaporSharks charge faster too, although not sure if they are 3 times faster.
Vs has a higher mah charger (I think it's 800mah), protovapor uses the standard 500mah board

Protovapor has started adding a day or two to their lead times for additional QC checks; I'm hoping it's so they can catch a bad board before sending it out.
IMO, I'm not sure why anyone would opt for anything other than the VTC5, since it's the same price regardless of what battery you pick. I'm kind of surprised they're managing to keep any VTC5's in stock. The market's pretty dry on those right now.
BOOM!
I think Protovape knew the 40 was due out and kept some of their stock of VTC5s back for it.
Figured I'd stop in and say hello to help pass the time as I wait for my XPV to ship. Ordered on the 8th. Wanted a dna40 device and it was between this and the VS. I've read nothing but good things about the XPV and Protovapor, here and elsewhere, so the choice became pretty easy. Now back to (im)patiently waiting...
How time flies! I ordered my XPV 2 weeks before the DNA30 was announced. It has worked flawlessly ever since. I then got a Hana DNA30, it too has never failed me. I think it's Vaporshark's turn...........
I've never noticed the charge time. But then I only plug it in before I go to bed because it last all day.

I got mine fully charged and it lasted a good long time.
Not sure which batt it came with actually, but I did put it on a USB cable to my computer and a few hours brought the batt readout up to what looked like full, but its gone down faster than the first couple of days.
I guess i should have it set up for overnight on a wall -> USB for complete recharge?
edit: as I was writing this post (while taking first vape of the day on my XPV40) the batt readout went up from where it started ! lol so maybe not...
