The Darwin From Evolv!!!

Costs too much? Really? Think of what has been put into the Darwin in R&D, marketing, customer service, material acquisition and actual manufacturing. Now think..How many Darwins have actually been sold? Taking a wild guess, let's say 700 and I think that might be high. So at that rate, 150K in gross revenue has been generated thus far. That is not alot of money if you think about everywhere it has to go. Granted, as the device matures and hopefully as the vaping industry matures, the long-term picture is probably pretty good. But anyone that thinks Evolv is getting rich and the Darwin is overpriced is just not looking at the big picture.
Not to change the subject...well actually totally changing the subject.....
My one dilemma with my Darwin is the MAP tank. I still love the MAP, but it forces the Darwin to stay open straight as a board, making it one very long mod, as we all know. This doesn't work well trying to stuff it in my suit jacket pocket. So I usually use a carto at work. Well I asked TTT if they could shorten their gooseneck for me, as much as possible, to close the arm with a MAP. The gooseneck 510 connectors are pretty long themselves, so it is limited in how short the unit can actually be. But it came out pretty good I think. 1" of actually flex cable. Here's a couple pics.
Observe that the arm is slightly open and power is on and I can actually vape the Darwin backwards!

nice setup man i need to get that i have been trying to use my AFS on the darwin and that would work out perfectly and i also have like 3 map tanks that have been feeling lonely since i got my darwin lol
I told the folks at TTT to expect some crazed Darwinians pounding down the doors for one! So they will be ready, I'm sure.

In the order notes, write: Short Version: 1 inch flex
It's not a cheap little devil, since smaller does not equal cheaper. Still $20 plus 5 s/h

CG - on the Map tank - will it leak out the tip when laying down? Don't own one yet, but just curious....
As long as your parts are completely dry and put together properly it should not leak (much). If they are more than half full and left laying on their side for long periods of time they have been known to leak down into the center hole and then out the bottom when they get stood back up. Seeing as how my Darwin never leaves my hand it really isn't a problem for me. When I do set it down I just leave the arm in the half open position.

Nice!!!
I may have to order myself another one that's shorter. I recently got the 4" one, and with the arm closed, it's just 3/4" shy of the other end of the Darwin. Add an atty or carto to that, and it sticks way out. I measured the flex part of mine, and it's 2 1/8", so having just 1" of flex would shorten it by 1 1/8".
I'm curious though, how much of a bend can you put on your shorter one?
Al
Bend is limited to about 45 degrees, but it's more than enough for what I wanted. I could have gotten away with less, since all I wanted was a slight upward slant to clear the MAP
Just got a suprise in the mailbox......the replacement Darwin was lurking in the mailbox (wasn't expecting it until tomorrow) and am enjoying it...I went ahead and mailed the other one to them this morning thinking I could do without a Darwin for 1 day, but ended up being only 5 hours....need not say more about customer service.....
guys. I'm using a 302 atty (801 thread) on the Darwin it's by far the best atty I've used to date. Thanks Lou!
And I've not even 'broken' it in yet...

Well welcome home! Tried callling the HI 3 times and got put into voicemail hell. Check the Roosevelt out. Anyplace there to have a little vape out. BTW - Jug of 75ml 50/50 12 mg plain, 15ml of cin roll @ ~11mg/ml and a Iken V2 drip carto sitting in front of me for you care package on the bar of the man cave right now. See you Saturday. Hear anything from SK?????
Yeah, she meant to call you guys, but didn't have a chance. She's here in LA, with me, enjoying a Darwin Day.
Where ya be, where ya be?
Yo........ Krispy, you made it to 'Toga! I am wishing you (all) the best time ever together. I truly wish I could be there with you to talk all things Darwin, and to have a GREAT time!

Maybe an avatar change will provoke some Darwin conversation. If not, then I'll vape alone, at 6.4 (on Waffles)...
I flew out of Albany today, since flights at home didn't line up time wise. And I looked down as I was taking off and I saw a car with Ohio plates heading toward Saratoga with crazy amounts of vape escaping from all the windows! I said to myself...I bet that's krisb! And then,as the plane circled the Burnt Hills area, I looked down and saw an Accord with an expired Inspection sticker! L2S? I think it was you...! Lol. Have fun guys, wish I was there. Is SK gonna make it? I know she has issues this week and wasn't sure. kinda anti-climatic landing in LV....67 degrees! Weird...it was that warm in NY! I guess it's climbing to 90 in the next day or two though.
