So... I have had my Darwin plugged in all morning and the battery indicator shows its full... but when I actuate the switch to use it, the battery indicator drops to 1/2 instantly... then to about 1/4 if I actually pull on it... this is while plugged in too. I've only had this thing a few months... I'm guessing there's a problem... What do you think?

I think your best place to get factual technical answers - when you have a concern about technical functionality - is to go to the Evolv website and use the "contact us" link.

We have many experienced Darwinians here in thread, who can and do provide wonderfully creative and helpful user info, but this is the type of issue I would take to Evolv and feel confidence I will get the best answer. Evolv has great customer service.

Congrats to thejager (TJ)! madvapes had (has?) the longer extensions. I bought a few and they all went south, so I'm hesitant to recommend them. Perhaps a few shorties might work for you?

Congrats also to CASEACE79 (CA?) on your new babe! Vape it good~

And a hearty welcome to you, too, P5! Happy Thanksgiving is right!

Big hugs all around~

Thanks, yeah... Ive turned the arm on and off... Ive gone from wall charge to 2 different USB ports. Have 2 boge cartos on me, tried them both. It has been charging since 8 am, its now 2:43. I guess its time to contact evolv... and to get a spare darwin for when my precious has to go to the shop *sigh*

Just a thought,

Does this only happen when you have the cartos attached? I've had a few bad cartos lately, they will trip the built in protection on the Darwin. You could try depressing the button without any carto attached and see if you still get the same drop

Oh my. That is something to behold :D I won't be seeing the red bag any time soon unless I order attys or something... :cry: 150 damn dollars just to rent a car for one day to see one family member for Thanksgiving and they are only about an hour away :facepalm:

Yea it does!!! There is usually enough battery for a good hour or two of heavy vaping. At least there was on mine :D

Greetings fellow and soon to be Darwinians,

I got mine today and just had a few questions since the last one I got was about 6 months ago and I know there have been a decent amount of upgrades\enhancements.

Now I am not trying to be picky or anything, just my OCD kicking in and just want to see if others share similar experiences:

I got one with the Blue screen and it's amazing when it's firing\activating but I noticed you can't really see the settings to adjust, unless you are either firing\activating it or you hold it up to bright light. Is this everyone else's experience with these new blue screens? It's no biggie but just want to make sure this is normal vs. mine being different than the others.

I also thought all new Darwins came with a built in or an added 510 extender (so no more accidental cross-threading with the brass), mine didn't, again no biggie as I luckily had a shorty sealed adapter but just wanted to see if this is a sporadic thing where some come with it and some don't or if I was just the special one?

Last thing, when I look at the front side (the one with the screen) it looks a little rough. Now I had one before and noticed some minor scratches and whatnot but when I look at this one it almost looks like it was tumbled in a dryer with small rocks, I know weird analogy right? From a distance you can't see anything since it's black and I know due to it being custom it is going to have small minor scratches and superficial marks but this is a little more and the front is where I see most of them, but it's like that all around. Again not complaining as it works fine but just wanted to see if everyone else's Darwins were like this or if it was just me. I would post a pic but my phone camera isn't the best in resolution on closeup pictures.

I appreciate the input and it's not that I am not happy, as I am, but paying this much I just want to make sure something didn't happen to mine vs. the others and didn't want to waste Evolv's time before first confirming with others.

Anyway, thanks for the input\feedback and glad to be a Darwinian again.

Those are a fairly recent item, I take it? I got one with my order back when the SS cartomators came out :2cool: Figured it was a typical freebie item, but it's come in handy. Good for storing shinier and more scratch prone mods

ED- I don't have a blue screen model so can't rightly say. I don't think Drew would mind a bit if you were to PM him to get the answer. They're known for good support.

Well, hope someone here can answer you quickly.

Happy Thanksgiving to Everybody! Hope that you all enjoy getting stuffed and being with family.
