The Darwin From Evolv!!!

[cuseguy]

Will other goodies fit in the large case w/Darwin? Can you keep Darwin in the holster and vape without having to pull it out?
The price is right on those holsters Not a bad deal at all.

I found something around the house that holds it pretty well if I leave the arm/carto up...I can press the button through the material without pulling Darwin out of the case, but it's a tight fit...I can't close the arm down all the way, and no space for an extra carto or anything.

Credo, I don't think you'd want to put anything extra in with it, but it will fit an attached carto or even the 3.5ml Big Gulp carto inside the fabric. If it was something bigger, the arm can easily stay exposed and folded and yes, you can vape with the case on, if you can find the button through the soft elastic sides! It can be done that way for a quick hit at best though, anything longer and I'd pull it out. The small case, which I have had for a few weeks now, fits about 2/3 up the body and can easily be left in place full time and it leaves the screen visible, but it obviously doesn't give full protection.

SK, you will be fine using the duals. As CG, I've had no probs with them at all.

Thanks, Katt. I don't understand why you don't take the Darwin out if you already have a nice leopard outfit for it. Gonna watch that video if it's not too long.

I will take him out.. soon.

The video is great, but the patent information is the hot topic. I hope everyone gets a chance to weigh in on it, especially here in Darwinia.

PS. Sure would love to see your new piece of furniture!

I keep itchin' to try some of those as well. Am I nuts? Cuz I already have boxes of CE2 and Vortex and other stuff that I'm loving on Darwin. Oh well...let us know how it goes?

Also I'm curious about something. My stash of stuff was matched up for eGo use...so alot of it is from 1.8 to 2.5ish in resistance. What are the advantages to gravitating towards the 3.5 to 5 Ohm HV stuff?

Thanks

Heck no, you're not nuts. What if there's something even better? Famous last words of the avid shopper, right?

Seriously, if you have vape vessels that work well for you...no real need to hop on everything you see. As for going 3.5 to 5ohm, I guess there's an advantage if you're a HV voltage but I can't immediately think why. Cuse or Drew would probably know better than me. I like between 2-2.5 and 3.5ohms best - the attys don't get as hot.

Oh you had to bring up the patent thing! I come back to Darwinia to leave the pressure of the outside threads behind!

CG? Some honey with your tea, Sir?

Sorry did not mean to take you off your relaxing chair. I just felt it important enuf to share with you guys. I just started reading about it a while ago, but I'm sure I'm not the last to know about it.

You answered it just fine SK. On the Darwin there is no real advantage to HV as long as you maintain the same pixie setting. You might gain a little battery life since LR is tougher on a battery than HV, but the gain probably wouldn't be worth the effort. HV is only useful to me on battery mods that have a 3.7/6V stacking option. Then it can give you a different vaping experience. Not always better though, just different.

KD, I agree it's a very important issue and I'm really just too tired to rehash it again today. It has some ramifications for all of us down the road...potentially. Like I said though, I walked into Darwinia and closed the door behind me for today. I am a little disappointed in the individual involved for many reasons and as one of earliest adopters of both of his products, I gave him much business and pushed much business his way over the last year and that ended today for good.

Good night, Darwin family. Got to get some rest. Tomorrow Darwin meets her first dual coil and we both need to recharged to get the full effect.

The very same thing (patent) is being hashed over with another supplier over the whole bottom button activation thing. Some pretty forceful letters were sent to various suppliers telling them they needed to stop making mods with bottom activating buttons. This makes 2 venders I will NEVER buy from again. The good news is that it usually takes quite a long time (can be 5 years) for a patent to be approved. I understand them trying to protect their ideas, but this comes off to the masses as just another ploy to make more money off of other venders (like venders purchasing the right to make VV mods).

 

[Katdarling]

CG, I understand. My apologies to you. I'm a bit wrapped up in it (almost typed 'warped', but I guess that would do, too), and a bit knocked over by it. It just 'feels' wrong to me... I'm done. Sorry, sweetie. My apple cart got tipped,,, didn't mean to tip yours, too.

Thanks much...good to know

One last question that should have me set for a while.

I'm now down to just a couple of cheap dripping atties (SmokTech 510 LR). None of these have lasted me very long (popped several long before getting a Darwin, with weak eGo batteries).

Is there any advantage to the 306 other than the exposed bridge?

While the exposed bridge seems nice...I've never had problems priming a regular atty for straight dripping, plus...once in a blue moon I'll still pack a light and fluffly 1 hour carto with a flavor I don't vape very often for those after dinner vapes that do best at a really cool setting....so I'm wondering if I should just stick with a regular 510 or maybe try a regular 901 (my carts will work with those too).

Thanks

Do yourself a favor and try a 306! I am not big on the IKV version for some reason. It just seems hot with no flavor. Cisco is the master of the 306 and Drew offers an excellent version-10 306 in 1.5, 1.7 and 3.4 (I think those are right) the 3.4 is amazing on the Darwin but I like the LRs on 3.7V and the Darwin too.

Excellent...
That must be why Nhaler's attys cost a bit more? The ones that say 'Custom' are Cisco?
Makes sense now.

On pay-day I'll have to pick up one, and a box of those Dual Coils to check out

I forgot about the 2.0 ohm version also. Read back on breaking them in or ask us when you get one. I always break them in slow and then they are super durable.

I don't think Darwin users need to be concerned about the whole VV patent issue going around right now. I've talked to Brandon before about it, and he told me that Evolv took care of their patent before they launched the Darwin. The Darwin is a Variable Power device, not a Variable Voltage, so it wouldn't be affected by the whole thing.

Good to know Angus. Although I wasn't worried about the Darwin for that very reason. I figured this whole thing would apply more to the mods like the commercial VV Box Mods, the Vaprlife line of VV mods and even the ProVari. I know it is the way of business, but it seems a bit unfair to make businesses that were making these mods before the patent even started pay for the privilege of continuing to make them.

I stay in trouble with my brother who is an EE, because I think 'utility' patents can be a bit crazy and unfair. He stays in trouble with me as a musician because he thinks some of the copyright stuff for artistic stuff is unfair.

Thanks for the information regarding the Darwin, guess things are still going to be a little up in the air in the future about VV Mods/and the patent issue. Reading on some of whats may be in store now that E-cigs are getting the green light.

The next couple yrs should be a bit interesting. Patents, taxes and new technologies.

How long does plain nic juice last? I've heard both 1 and 2 yrs.
