The Darwin From Evolv!!!

[Krisb]

Welcome guys! That is crazy fast shipping!

When I first started with my Darwin, I started at the mid point on the dial, 8.4. From there you can tweak it. I find I tend to stay very close to there for the most part. I'm using an ikv 510 LR and I have it at 8.9. It's a nice heavy hit. Can't really help with carto experimentation much, as everyone here knows, I'm not big on cartos

Please let us know if you have any questions, we are all very happy to help!

I hope that I don't drive you vets crazy. BUT...I tried a carto at 4.7 (played around w/the numbers a bit) with BWB ejoker and...who'dve thunk that it tasted so good!!!!??? I didn't even know that it had such a delish aroma-AND an aftertaste!!!

Next was a cool carts carto (FSUSA). That menthol hit me throat like nobody's business!!! unh unh unh.

I'm going 2 start @8.4 Kris.


Keep the tips a comin!!!!!!!

So how much different was the ejoker on your darwin, I have 15 BRB just waiting on the Darwin 8)

Have you guys tried map tanks? They are amazing on the Darwin! I'm loading one up now, a mini 3.0 ohm with chocolate caramel cookie! When the wick are done soaking, just a couple minutes, I'll let ya know what wattage I'm on.

What pv's did you guys have before?

Congrats to our new Darwinians! Try not to get nic poisoning! We have all come dangerously close on day one and two.. Also, we need to figure out some shortcuts on names here. UL2N2 and GWTW just doesn't do it for me!

OK I have only been vaping for almost 4 weeks and been using just Boog MF carto's and Vortex on my V4L 808. I have a nhaler HV 510 and the duel clear 2.5 carto's coming also. Have a 510 to 510, 510 to 808 and a 510 to 801 also coming with some IKV Gold V2 carto's coming also. Have a 901 atty that was using to drip taste on my 808's think that covers it.
I think I am ready did I leave anything out that I need lol???

started with a mall 808d, then a cigar store 808d, then 01/11-ego, 03/11 mini reo and now the darwin.
I bumped up to 8.4 and the menthol made my eyes almost water!!! cool!!!

U2, think you are more prepared than I was. Of course, CG and ski should post pics of their 'kits'... I still drool!

Gw, that's why I asked what you guys used before, LOL... need to work up to the Omg! sometimes

you guys can call me "gone" or if you want to type "gwtw" you don't have to worry about capitalizing it. picky i am not...

For the new Darwinians, vaping watts gives you many more settings to fine tune your juices. It also gives you the chance to compare the different ranges of attys to see if you notice and/or prefer any of the differences between LR attys/cartos, standard attys/cartos and HV attys/cartos.

To compare the different ohms ranges, I suggest you do comparisons with the different ohms levels of the same model attys. So, for example, if you like 510 attys - try 510 LR, 510 Standard and 510 HV all using the same juice and experiment at different watts levels. If you prefer 801 attys, try comparing LR, Standard and HV all in 801. You can do the same for any model but as each model has its own personality in terms of Vapor, TH, flavor, etc., sticking within a single model (and same juice) gives you the opportunity to really do side-by-side comparisons to see which ohms level give you the vape you like best.

Juices can really come alive when you start experimenting with different watts levels. At the last vape meet I went to, one person was vaping Caramel Popcorn in a 3 ohms carto on 6V unregulated device. He put his carto on my Darwin at a lower watts setting and was surprised that he could suddenly taste the popcorn flavor in the juice. Different flavors in the juices can each respond differently at different heat levels. Because power (watts) in vaping expresses as heat, try your favorite juices at different watts levels and see what happens. It is really just like cooking: not enough heat and flavors do not come out, too much heat and flavors get over-cooked or cooked out, just the right amount of heat and flavors can really come alive.

Some people find they have different settings for different juices, other people find their watts sweet spot and just stay there. But, Darwin's watts settings give us many more settings to fine-tune our vaping experiences than variable volts and/or other devices.

I wrote out the explanation of how and why Watts has more fine-tune settings compared to variable voltage in a post earlier in this thread. This is a long thread and some of you may not have seen it back over 80 pages ago so here is a direct link (for anyone who may be interested): http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/nhaler/151096-darwin-evolv-421.html#post3099718

Oh, sort of a PS - Standard and HV attys & cartos give you much more range in watts than LR attys and cartos. Using LR attys/cartos, you can turn the Darwin dial down but LR attys and cartos are designed to provide higher watts at low voltages. This is because LR attys/cartos are DESIGNED to simulate/imitate HV vaping at low volts.

So, even if the watts setting is set down, the lowest voltage Darwin can push combined with the ohms will dictate the lowest actual watts you will vape at. The watts setting on Darwin is a "setting" and not a gauge or reading of actual. The other numbers on the screen are all readouts/gauges. So, you set the watts "setting" for the level you want and Darwin shows you the other numbers it is producing to achieve the Watts level you set for. I know this is confusing but it is part of Ohms LAW.

For example, If we assume Darwin cannot go below 3.7 volts:
If we use a 1.5 ohms atty or carto: 3.7V x 3.7V/1.5=9.12 watts - this means if you use a 1.5 ohms atty you cannot get a vape below 9.12 watts even if you have Darwin set below that level. But, we can get any level above that 9.12

If we use a 1.8 ohms LR atty: 3.7V x 3.7V/1.8=7.6 Watts - this means we cannot get vape below 7.6 watts but we can get any setting above that 7.6

As we go up in ohms - for example 2.0 ohms atty:
3.7V x 3.7V/2.0=6.85 watts and we can get any watts level above that 6.8

So, while we can use LR attys and cartos on Darwin, there will be a lower WATTS limit dictated by the ohms of the atty or carto. Using Standard and HV attys/cartos gives us much more usable RANGE of watts settings because the higher ohms lets use explore the lower actual attainable WATTS levels.

If this is confusing, feel free to post your questions as there are many experienced Darwinians in here who are more than happy to help. This is a great thread full of friendly and helpful vapors.

I'll stay with L2S...Because everytime I hear Ski, you become a 280lb Polish wrestler in my head and I know that's certainly not the case lol! KB is you Kris? Really? GW works for me. SK is definitely SK! KD or Kat is our resident party girl. What to do with poor udlike2no2?

CG... u2? Why not Kb? Isn't that easier? Or will I always be Krispy? LOL, whichever you prefer, I'll answer to nearly anything

Did I tell you what happened? I had a tree go down in my backyard. Now, this was a very tall large tree with no sign of disease or anything. Not only did it fall, but the roots pulled right out of the ground when it fell over!

I just have to say WOW. I ordered a Darwin Friday night thinking it would be a little better than the Provari that has been my go to PV. Not only did it get here crazy fast but Drew sent an excellent carrying case. This thing blows my Provari out of the water not only more adjustable, easier to adjust while using, and adjustable out of the range of the Provari. I have some 5ohm 901's that didn't hit well even at 6V they only really worked at 7.4V on my GGTS and were to hot there, on the Darwin at 8.9W they just rock. I don't think a new toy has made me this happy since I was a kid.
