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

Thanks bud, you gave me the same, and lo and beHOld, I'm doing menthol too (which I NEVER do)! Sniff sniff, let's get these toxins cleaned out already! I certainly would love to be able to actually taste some juice.

I know this sucks .... My whole upper body feels like I have been beaten with a baseball bat. I am totally sore from hacking for the past for days. This is no easy cough either it is a whole body shaker and hurts like hell with a fever thrown in for good measure. Get well soon KD

Also, I could be wrong, but think of it like this:
If Evolv did fold, the units would be that much more rare...and hence pretty serious collectables. It is an early run of a FIRST and unique product in a new and interesting industry. With all that in mind...in the very least...they'd probably offer up the firmware in case someone out there ever wanted to refurbish these somewhere down the road. As for the batterys and parts on the PCB...all can probably be replaced if you (or someone know) is into electronics enough to order duplicate or compatible parts.

If they stick it out for many years to come (which we all hope they will)...you'll be using the thing till you get tired of it, and still will probably be able to sell it if you do get tired of it.

I think your investmet is sound in a mod of this class :)

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!

Everyone eating? Who ate what, and why? Have I really missed that much around here?

I will be using it until they offer up the next MOD. I am hoping and wishing much success for Evolve and I hope they continue the realtionship w/Drew and nHaler

You too! I'm sorry to hear it, and more sorry to be sharing it with you. I stopped coughing at all about a week after starting to vape, so this cough is shocking to say the least. It's a whole body cough, yes, and hurts my lungs.

Let's both get better!

KD she is wound tight tonight and although she won't admit it she keeps typing ATE for some reason. Freudian slip maybe??? Now I offered to help her with that and all she has to do is drive out do a little dance and then she could be a nice midnight snack----but I digress as usual

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.

I have not heard about the self-checking on the D'win. I'll bet you'll get used to it tho. Think of it as extra bling ;)

KAT, it came out on the Darwin in the last batch, that and the magnetic button. No more spring.

I just love it when our lady folk start talking technical. Krisb, KD and SK know their Darwins guys! Even if they do have a tendancy to want to add blink!

Is that the slow arm down situation, the magnetic button, or is the magnetic button the one with the "chip" in it? Mine's perfect... and red btw...
