The Darwin From Evolv!!!

[hifistud]

JUST in case anyone is interested... I ordered a couple of the cheapie china 3.5 ml DC tanks (as opposed to the 6.5 ml versions everyone is snapping up) to see how they'd work on the Darwin. These tanks are only 15 mm in diameter.

Turns out that with a 1 inch extender, it works pretty well. Not a LOT of extra capacity, but at least a good visual indication of nicquid level, and the arm can be closed for easier pocketing.

Since this is the closest I've found to a closable tank that happens to be actually available, guess it'll have to do!

Brandon showed a new elbow that might go into production to allow tanks usage more easily on tonight's VT Talk at VTTalk with Guest Brandon Ward

Yea, I am kicking myself (no pun intended) for missing that show today... I even had a reminder on my phone I'll watch the recorded version though I suppose.

Just finished watching it

Great job Dave and of course Brandon rocks also (+1 for the hat!)

Hi guys,

I dropped my Darwin the other day, and since, the draw seems to be airier. There doesn't appear to be any physical damage to either the Darwin or the 510-510 connector I've got on there. I've tried different atomisers on there, and I am having the same problem with all of them. The only thing I can think of doing, is trying a different 510-510 adaptor.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Cheers

If you've got any o-rings in the right size range (I think in the vicinity of 8-10mm) you can slip one down over your atty and seat it right where the atty and adapter meet. This should stiffen up your draw a little bit. I did this (with a larger o-ring) back in my eGo days with the first version of the Giantomizers, tightened up the draw nicely

awesome live stream tonight...very informative...i was hoping for a question about an "S" adapter for the Darwin...since he is comign back next week i hope he gets that question

Enjoy that Darwin now lets talk about a 16- 18 watt Darwin

 

[Rob0506]

16-18 watts? HOLY COW!
Well, Brandon said the Darwin can handle it.

I also listened to a replay of Click Bang today and realized that I missed out on a chance to play poker with Drew. DOH!
If I ever travel to your part of the country we'll have to hit a poker room, Drew. Poker is my second love. Unfortunately my first love doesn't let me play that often.

UGH missed my chance to get the darwin :/ Any knowledge on when it comes back up?

Classy alert; fs/ft I'm sure it won't last long............

thejager, I have that question reserved

I saw the Darwin that Brandon showed with the Bigger arm, but to me I'm not sure if it does it justice or not, I would still love the 'S" adapter more so then that arm so I could keep my Darwin in a stealth mode when I wanted to with just a dripping Atty set up, then go to the "S" adater for tanks and bigger stuff, dam I want my S adapter !

I'm starting to think about how this "S" adapter would have to be made, I think it would have to be a 3 piece adapter with the 2 outside "S" parts stamped together with the 'S" pin in the middle, then the threads either stamped or turned if they could turn them some way. Either way it's not an easy adapter to make and gonna cost a bit more then a regular 510-510 adapter, but I still want it Drew you working on this at all ??? or is it just going to be the bigger Arm ? people with the smaller arm will still need and want this 'S" I think Drew. Like to here your thoughts on this when ya get a chance please.

 

[Arctherus]

Thanks for the update Drew. I am definitely going to buy one this time around

 

[thejager]

i'd be up for the wider arm he showed in the video, i'd hope i could upgrade instead of having to buy new, but i woudl do it right now. An "S" or "Z" adapter i would snatch up too.

Anyone have an idea on an estimated cost of the "Kick"? I have a epipemod.com pipe i might want to try it with.

i have a machinist/engineer friend. If someone has some extra parts to play with i might be able to get him to look into a homebrew solution. Obviously coudln't go large demand or anything, but maybe a small batch.

Let me know fellas

PM me or whatever.

Are we talking a S or Z or a PIPE. Gave up the pipe with cigs but if you are talking a S connection I am IN big time!

 

[mwa102464]

If you could have "S" adapters made you would be the 1st that I know of SAX, and that's a kind offer SAX thank you and I would take you up on it, but 1st I would like to hear from Drew before I went another direction, these arent the easiest things to make SAX. If they where Drew would have already have had em made I think by now. Let's just wait a bit to see what he says about this, it he cant get em then I would love one from your machinist friend for sure.

 

[Drewsworld]

I have talked to three different machinists about these and they gave the same response. "it can be done" then they tilt their heads like a confused dog, and say, "but not easily"... I'm waiting for a guy that owns his own shop to stop by...He was supposed to be here before Thanksgiving...He is also gonna take a look at some other little projects I have going on, but we will see what he says.... I'd buy 5 of them tomorrow if someone had them!

 

[SAX]

Sorry, you miss understood me, I was responding to the jager post. That is he had someone that would make one I would be in for it It must be much harder than it sounds

[thejager]

im no good with the stuff personally, but i figured id bring it up with my friend regardless...couldnt hurt... still, it is good to hear that you are looking into it as well, a least as much as you can as i am sure you are busy.

im not saying i could get it done as i have no idea how to do it, but i was just offering up what little i may be able to add to the group...
