Come ho is a good one. We can go w/hill if we must but I do have to say I am partial to ho. BTW those hundreds are getting cold Krisb
Ate you in your man cave? Ski always gets a bit feisty when he's in there

Hell yeah I am in the cave! Suffering from a terrible cold/flu. There goes my no sickness due to PG theory. Just got out of bed since fever broke again. I can not taste anything so I mixed up some DIY methol juice. It is really hitting the spot but when I am better I bet it will taste aweful. I really hit it hard with the menthol crystals and some FA Turk blend tobacco
I saw that and let it pass since I thought it would cost me another $100 or so after a good pole dance. Never to sick to pass up a good snack Krisb
Ok, got my Darwin and gotta say....
I am impressed and like everyone states, it is much smaller than it appears in the picture (that's what she said)
But seriously, I will admit when I first saw the Darwin back in January I wasn't really interested and just thought it wasn't for me based on how it looked as well as the battery piece but after going through many mods I figured I would give it a try and I am glad I did.
Below are my first impressions:
I like the feel and look of it, as others say it kinda grows on ya. It's probably the techie geeky nerd coming out of me as I love electronic gadgets.
It's what I call KISS or Keep It Simple Stupid which works for me, move the atty arm, dial in the watts you want, push the button and commence vape. It's so easy, even a Caveman can do it, sorry for the Geico pun.
I like the weight, it does feel sturdy and rugged and does feel like I can hammer things with it LOL.
The display is great and I do like constantly monitoring my settings.
I am using just a regular 510 battery extender as I didn't want to take a chance with the soft brass connection and do hope that it isn't supposed to screw all the way down as mine doesn't.
USB option is perfect since it's like 2 devices in one if you want it to me, pass-thru wise.
Battery charge time is very minimal and figure I will just put it on the charger every night like I do with my other gadgets (Ipod, cell phone, blue tooth headset, etc.) told ya I was geeky
On the flip side, my other very minor feedback\suggestions\concerns, which trust me I am not complaining or bashing, but felt like mentioning are as follow:
The dial is just a little too sensitive, albeit I never had the option to dial the power in such small increments but I do notice if you want to play around with the watts around the midway point, 8.4, you really have a hard time trying to get the settings close to that like 8.3, 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7 and keep it there as when I would get it there and push the button it would adjust to the midway point. Again minor thing and it's probably my OCD that is kicking in since now I have the option of having sooo many settings. Maybe make it where the dial has a little more resistance or time in between increments when dialing or it could possibly click or something for each increment or even have two small buttons for dialing up and down?
The latest version seems to be an upgrade of some sorts where the system now self-checks every 3 seconds. I appreciate any and all upgrades as making devices better is always positive but the screen flickers each time this occurs, so not really a bad thing but it can be kinda annoying if it's within your line of sight and seeing it constantly go off, but easy solution is to just turn it over or turn it off I guess.
The last thing really isn't a concern now but more of a what if.... This market seems to be changing ever soo rapidly and I can do nothing but give major kudos to Drew and his crew for the amazing service and fast shipping as well as the Evolv company for coming out with this remarkable device but what if something happens or what if they (mainly Evolv) decides to just not continue to pursue the Ecig market. Things happen personally and professionally and can change all the time and again I know this could happen with anything but you have to wonder what would happen if Evolv just decided to move on to other ventures, what would those that are not mechanically inclined or able do when and if the battery dies? This was one of the main reasons I got this as with all warranties you get that warm fuzzy feeling that everything will be ok if something happens.
As you can see the last section contains very minor things and I was just trying to think of anything I would possibly change or upgrade in future devices. None of these things really hinder or make me self-guess my decision as I am enjoying this work of art as I type this up.
I want to thank again Drew and the crew at Nhaler for exceptional service (ordered Fri night and got it on Monday, amazing) and prompt assistance in the past to any an all questions I've had, as well as to the group at Evolv for the great device and from what I've read so far the exceptional fast warranty service for those that have had issues.
I am happy to be an "official" Darwinian and hope the info above isn't taken the wrong way but figured I saw others put their thoughts and I would too. I have tried a decent amount of popular mods out there and the technology and innovation that went into making this device does rank it up at the top especially with what it can do or what it "consistently" does, over and over again.

Well ED-209 (aka ED that one will stick) welcome to the club. Nice write up.
Thanks Liv2Ski, I am not good at writing reviews or impressions but this device deserved kudos.
Ed is fine LOL, what makes me feel old is when people have no idea what an ED-209 is especially after seeing my avatar LOL
Ed, you ate right on in what you said. The dial is a bit too sensitive, but it does become easier as you get used to it. As far as the future of evolv... you are right in that you can not predict any companies future especially in such a relatively new market. Evolv is working on 2 more mods as we speak, so they don't plan on packing it in any time soon. As far as the battery if they do, I'm sure Brandon will take care of us even if worse case scenario happens and he decides to send out instructions to do so ourselves. Or whatever evolv deems the best way to deal with that. I've met Brandon on several occasions and he wouldn't just leave us hanging!
So happy everyone is enjoying their Darwin, new darwinians!

Well some of us 40+ ers know. The Darwin is really a nice device. I still use my other Mods too (vari, grand, mini, provape etc) but the Darwin has pretty much become my unit of choice at my desk and when out and about. It is also an awesome travel companion and has been to (Netherlands x2, China x2, Finland, UK and Germany) since it became part of the collection in January. I really dig the fact that I can charge off the computer USB and since I only fly carry on I do not like to bring charges and extra batts with me.
Who is wound up tonight???? You typed ATE again. Drive out I will take care of that for you young lady. Pick up CG on your way and bring those damned Pom Pom's
