They could just buy some sx350! I surely wouldn't mind
Talking of which
In an earlier post of mine I mentioned that I was considering upgrading mine myself with the SX350,however a guy I know who sells them said to check the size as the SX chip is slightly bigger than a DNA.Not knowing what the true dimensions are of either board,does anybody know if the 350 board will go in easily enough?
I don't know the exact dimensions of either one, but the sx350 is slight bigger and the display is bigger as well.
JMHO I wouldn't mess up the Protovapor. If I was going to do something I would just build a different mod with the sx350 which I am considering.

I believe the SX chip is square compared to the DNA being rectangular in shape.
I really love the belt clip.Just clip it to my hip and it goes every where with me
I'm with you on that. Been showing mine off at my local B/M I hang out at. Everyone ask what I'm using and is impressed when they see it.
And after having it a few weeks I'm still really happy I ordered the XPV.

I freaking LOVE my XPV 30D!!!!!!!! Higher resistance 2 ohm builds have been what I have arrived at, at moderate wattages and higher voltages give me everything I could need! So long sub ohming for a decent vape, you're too much extra responsibility! I no longer need you! Now I'm in love with higher resistance coils and higher voltage/lower wattages! AWESOME vape experience, and FAR longer cell discharge length, over the course of my day! Ok, so maybe having the ability to go up to a little higher wattages on the DNA 30, as opposed to the bit lower DNA 20 wattages, is unnecessary for a great regulated mod, but if I ever wanted to drain my cell quick on a mid level sub ohm build, on occasion, I still can, within reason.
For me, sub ohming is just about obsolete..... I only occasionally use a mech now, with a basic origin dripper with sub ohm coils, when I get nostalgic, or feel bad for neglecting my Paps Lux 2.5.... speaking of my Lux 2.5... I may now be in the market to sell her... I really see no valid purpose in keeping it, other than as a collectable... hmm... keep it, and look at it collect dust? or sell it, and use the money to buy the new Squape R?
A little advice for those who've not ordered an XPV, or have no experience with higher voltage vaping.... Get a higher voltage regulated mod (I suggest at least a 6v on up, capable. Higher voltage means lower wattage needed, using higher resistances, giving much extended discharge time, and a lot more vapor-per-charge) even if you can't afford an XPV. You'll thank me later for investing in higher voltage kit..... But, I STRONGLY suggest you save up for an XPV 20 or 30, and be done with your search to satisfy the cravings....
LOVE THE XPV!!!!! best bit of vaping kit, I've had since I began vaping two years ago, hands down!

I'd like to understand why you feel that higher voltage means you can run lower wattage and get the same amount of vapor? In the end, it takes watts to make vapor, not just volts and not just amps.
I only have one mech. I still use it at night and in the morning. I like dripping on my .4 ohm build. The rest of the time it's the XPV with a KFL. The build in the KFL is .6 ribbon wire wrapped on a 3/32 bit 6/7 wrap. Comes in at 1.4/1.3 ohms. Add some cellucotton (just started using it today) wick and it's a great vape. I run it at 20 watts and the bat goes 16+ hours easy. Although with the TH I'm getting from the cellucotton I may have to adjust my build, lower the watts or lower my nic level.
And how do you compare all aspects of the production, between the mech running a .3 ohm coil at 44w on a full 4.2v charge, to the production of the 1.4 ohm coil @ 5.29v / 20W?
Yeah, that one isn't making any sense... now, if he'd said that the longer, higher-resistance coil has a greater surface area to produce vapor from, I'd likely be agreeing with him...
I suppose I should have indicated that the coils I am making now at 2 ohms are indeed a coil having more wraps, and thus a greater surface area, but I assumed that would be a given, since I'm talking about a greater resistance. I'm really not here to argue about what is what. All I know, is from the experience I have gained over the past couple years of vaping, and the XPV has shown me that I can now produce nice vapor with higher resistances, and it doesn't take a ton of wattage to get me there.

My nephews tried to get me into sub-ohming, but it wasn't really for me. I drifted back up in resistance, and like from 1.7 to 1.9 ohms, running mid-wattage (anywhere from 12 to 17 watts, depending on the flavor). I think that the flavor is better on the higher resistances (due to more surface area on the coils??).
This is what I absolutely LOVE about vaping - all of the options, and everybody having different preferences, different tastes!! CAn you picture this much discussion on a "Analog Cigarette Forum"? ("I like menthols, well I like lights, 100's vs regular lengths?" - end of discussions!!) All of the different set-ups, combined with all of the different juice flavors makes this an exciting hobby!!
My order number is 815, should be in around end of month, I'm guessing. I also have a Freight Train DNA 30 coming in later this month (already have a DNA 12 from Freight Train). It's gonna be a GREAT month!!
I really enjoy all of the discussions on ECF, especially this thread, which is my favorite on the site. Keep the interesting opinions and info coming!!

I'm using a dual coil .8 ribbon wire on the dripper. Lots of vapor and I also use a lower nic level. I don't get as much vapor on the XPV. But they different builds and toppers so it's not really fair to compare the two.
This. You can't compare a dripper and a tank. They are totally different animals.
Just curious what battery you have, that goes 16+ @20W and that doesn't burn at that high of a voltage?
My wife was having issues yesterday with a KFL on a Semovar her coil to begin with was 1.5ohm, a screw came slightly loose and bumped the resistance to 2.1ohm so at her 12w she was putting around 5 volts to it and it was tasting just wrong.
It has the Sony VTC5 in it. With my build the coil runs 1.3/1.4. At that the XPV is putting 5.2/5.3 volts to the coil at 19.5/20 watts. I've been at 20 watts but due to the cellucotton I'm playing with lowering the watts a little.
I have no idea, but this is the longest I've ever waited for something and the wait is agony.

GAH! I forgot about it for 10 or 15 minutes and then there is a post here
Maybe I should just go ahead and order a second one now and get it over with...
Pretty sure I'll never be able to wait for a custom ordered vehicle....
