SMY SDNA 200 (evolv DNA200)

[amdnikos]

Yet another chinese dna200 box mod. Looks awesome and it carries a 1600mah lipo. Please share if you find something about it. My great concern is that i can find a single real photo around except rendered one's so i can confirm that it somehow the case opens, so you can exchange battery.

Today i cancelled my order of vapecige vtbox200 and thinking of ordering the sdna from gb but still not enough information yet.

I think it's one of the nicer looking dna 200's thus far. more info needed though

I think in going to watch this one, I've been really happy with my SMY mini so if this one pans out it would be a good choice for me when I want to try the 200 chip.

It's cheap too (or can be), think I saw it on pre-order for $120 or so from China.

 

[amdnikos]

I have it already in my basket from Gearbest with coupon at 116 bucks.

Just lurking lol want to keep up with the thread. This box looks very interesting have been doing a lot of research on TC devices thinking of diving into this world!

 

[amdnikos]

Well i just talked with a smy representive in facebook. Some more info! The battery door is removable by two screws on the edges of the carbon fiber pattern that hosts the logo. The battery is a "well known" battery of real 1600mah. The device will hit the market not earlier than the end of this month. Their preproduction unit have a plug to connect battery ondna chip but he told me that the production unit will have the battery cables ( + -) soldered direct on dna chipset. The 510 will be pressed fitted. (yey no glue )

I think i will wait this time before pulling the trigger on this one after all i have an Ipv3 li on the way and hoping to grab a beer and watching all these dna200 threads until i find something that suits me, so far the sdna looks like the better option.

I wonder just how close to 1600 mAh the li-pos are. If they are actually 1600 mAh, that puts the capacity right at a pair of 2500 mAh 18650s- and for me to warm up to this 200 watt-capable mod, the li-po capacity needs to be comparable to at least a pair of decent 18650s. Might be asking for too much, but I'd like to have the option of using a pair of 18650s if desired, like the Whiteout. Or at least the ability to easily swap out the li-po pack for a pre-charged one- no screws and certainly no soldering.

Why make it easy to get inside if the battery is soldered in or is it just me, if you could unplug the battery and plug a fresh one in then easy access makes sense. Think I'll wait and see how the lavabox works but still looking like it's a hotcig dna200 for me.

Why make it easy to get inside if the battery is soldered in...

That's why I specified "no screws and certainly no soldering".

 

[Adekastos]

Oops didn't read about the soldered battery thats a no from me since i heard that the new vtbox200 's will have soldered battery i immediately canceled. Well, might as well hope for sxk infinite to make a dna200 mod themselves,highly doubt it though.

 

[Darkly spectr]

in a way I don't care about replacing batteries since by the timee the lipo is so worn out it doesn't work anymore there will probably be something new.

but on the other side if the battery is DOA or whatever It would be nice to replace it.

it really depends how much this thing will be when it hits stores. man if there is a online store in some months that does like a 110 bucks promo or some ..... man these things will sell like hotcakes.

 

[Rizzyking]

For me Darkly its not so much condition of the battery or replacing it once it finally dies it's about just being able to swap out battery's when they need charging and not being tethered to a plug while it charges, have already ordered a imax b6ac v2 lipo charger though my enthusiasm for the dna 200 has wilted a bit this week having had one to play with.

Bummer.

What didn't you like?

 

[Rizzyking]

Button response felt off for me not very keen on the limited options on the device and the amount of time you've got to spend in escribe to set everything up just seemed like a lot just to vape. All personal things, I'm sure the chip is good but I get a similar vape in my wattage range 15-30 watts that I get on my tc50 which requires a minute or two to setup and be vaping on optimally. Was set on buying a dna200 looked at the hotcig for easily swappable battery's, might still get one if I can't find anything else to blow Xmas budget on.

 

[fishwater]

I'm interested in holding one if these in my hand since I really like the way my mini feels compared to other devices.

 

[cobalt327]

Don't know which Mini you use, but the 200 is probably going to feel huge in comparison. The more I think about it, the Cloupor Mini Plus is looking better all the time. It's barely larger than the standard Cloupor Mini (1mm wider and taller, same thickness @ 22mm). Waiting on some reviews on it- so far it's a presale deal and I'm not playing that game. FWIW I love my Cloupor Mini and if the Plus is as good, at under $35.00 delivered it's a bargain.
