SBODY Macro dna40

Constructed from aluminum, the Macro is extremely light but feels solid in your hands. Zip Charging gets charging done in a flash, but should you need to change your battery, the magnetic back panel opens easily for fast battery replacement. Available in a variety of colors.

DNA40 devices popping up a lot lately.

As prices get lower I'm sure they will sell.

Too Bad the chip has no way to accept updates.

Pretty much about the same size as the VS DNA40.

But with rechargable battery it's nearly a no brainer.

 

[jmarkus]

ya, its actually a little smaller! like an in betweener of vs dna30 and vs dna40

2.96 x 1.37 x 0.87 inches = 75.2 x 34.8 x 22.1 mm

VS DNA40
2.94 x 1.50 x 0.88 = 74.7 x 38.1 x 22.4 mm

These sbody devices were discussed on th ft forum months ago. A bunch of us were interested and emailed them. No one got a reply.

 

[MegaVap]

Yes! This Sbody was the one I was asking about here on ECF, but like @sucram said nobody knew where to get them. I love the look and size of it, even tho they could have done without the big ol MACRO on the front of it. I think the ZIP charging feature is a big plus if you quickly want to top off your battery in a pinch. I'm surprised how much VS is stepping up their game with the amount of mods they are offering lately.

 

[jmarkus]

i might just have to order one and be the guinea pig. hmm...

 

[MegaVap]

Do it! Do it! just kidding But if you do, let us know how it is. VS has pretty decent customer service if any problems arise so that's a good thing.

Seemingly Cloupor Mini in dimensions but with improved build quality ? I hope that the 510 connection has been beefed up - a number of users on UK Forums said that it was not good on earlier models.

initial impressions.

love the size and weight, this mod is SUPER light due to the case being all aluminum. having a zip charger is a total bonus since i do most, if not all my 18650 charging on a dedicated battery charger. ability to see the large screen as i vape is really nice. i was an owner of the cloupor mini, and since the battery door is almost identical i was expecting some battery door movement, and indeed there was. one tiny piece of scotch tape along both rails inside the battery door solved that, no movement at all now. also, the battery door seems to have a slightly different finish then the rest of the mod (battery door is more matte than the rest of the mod), most people may not even notice. no button rattle at all, zero. fire button is slightly concave giving a nice comfy place for your index finger. buttons are all nice n clicky and take enough force not to be accidentally fired in pocket. i watched a few videos of an sbody dna40 called the finarm (i think), and i noticed on those the screen window was cut much taller than needed and the dna40 screen was way off center on those, so i was really worried about that. fortunately, they "fixed" that problem, the screen window is perfectly sized and the screen is perfectly centered! the chip/guts bay is covered with what seems to be plastic, but could be aluminum, and instead of being glued, is actually held in by 6 tiny philips head screws. theres a slight overhang of any 22mm atties on the front side, all other sides are fine. the battery is a super tight fit, make sure you have the ribbon under the battery before inserting! the paint job seems much more sturdy than the rubbery stuff vs uses.

pros:
- amazingly small
- removable battery
- zip charging
- large visible screen while vaping (albeit not fully and clearly visible)
- super light and pocket friendly
- price
- SS 510 connector with gold plated spring-loaded pin
- DNA40

cons:
- slight difference with battery door finish
- battery door movement (solved with scotch tape)
- slight overhang on 22mm atties

im loving this thing and have been using it as my daily device for a week now.

S-Body has been the manufacturer of the VaporShark DNA series, and is also the manufacturer of Johnson Creek's Vea Elite DNA 40 device (which is sold as the S-Body Mini Torch outside of the USA). They apparently get access to Evolv's DNA chips through their association with American companies, as the only Chinese manufacturer who is supposedly authorized by Evolv is Lost Vape (don't know how HCigar gets around that or who in China is making Volcano's Lavatube 3 DNA40 device). I expect other companies to follow suit in order to produce DNA devices more cheaply.

 

[jmarkus]

very interesting, cee! had no idea johnson creek was selling the mini torch. i bought the sbody squonker from france a long while back but ended up selling. the chipset kinda blew and it weighed like 10 lbs.

So how is the finish on the SBODY? Does it seem like it would scratch easily?

Overall a pretty durable mod?

 

[ricks]

Is this a good mod? I was thinking about getting the rDNA 40 but I think I want a smaller mod like this one.

 

[jmarkus]

the finish seems way more durable than the vs rubbery coating and has held up very well after 2 weeks of dedicated use and pocket carrying. i LOVE this mod for all the pros i mentioned above, and the few cons i mentioned i dont even think about anymore. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! get one if you have a spare benny. was thinking about the rdna40 this morning, the only difference is the wireless charging, which imho is total gimmick and useless. imho the form factor and placement of screen of the sbody is way nicer!

durability in general seems good, not as heavy or solid feeling as the rdna, but durable seeming none the less. the weight of this mod will freak you out, its a feather!!
