Hi D'wins! Just wanted to let you know that I got my D'win yesterday. We all talk about CS with Evolv and Brandon and Drew and Nhaler, but really, it is something to regard highly. To consider one's customers in such high esteem, to provide a product as insanely supreme as the D'win, to have invented it! Welp... I for one am feeling rather grateful right about now. I'm back to Good Vapes, Happy Vapes, and Consistent Vapes!

Thanks for being here, you guys. It really means alot.

Hello all fellow Darwinians! I wanted to share a quick personal story! My son is away at camp for the week. Some of you already know, but for those that don't, he is 9 yr old and has aspergers and the camp he goes to is for the disabled. He has tried very hard to be brave this week as it was his first time away from home and he is extremely attached to me. Tonight they held a talent night that my son, in all his shyness, did not want to participate in. As we were sitting there, he ran away from us and talked to a counselor. He decided to sing a song from the transformers movie. The 'act' right before him was a girl in a wheelchair who sang her heart out to a love song directed at a boy also in a wheelchair. As she finished, that boy rolled up and sang a love song back to her. The only thing more touching for me that night, was when they were done, my shy brave little boy went on all by himself and sang his song loud enough for all to hear and was greeted not by judgement as is often the case, but by cheers. I never saw such a smile! Wonderful night!!!

krisb, that is great! I am perhaps borderline Aspie (once it was given a name). Your son is demonstrating what some old pharts have known for decades... Music Is The Best!

Information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
Music is the best…

That is the best news I have heard all day. I also have a son(now a man) that is disabled, (mental challegened as they say now) from severe seizure disorders as a boy upon his entrance into puberty. So in my heart I know what a wonderful and great moment it was for you and most of all for him. Thanks for sharing.

It was an amazing night! Wish I could have recorded it, but they didn't have the song he wanted so they used my phone. Decide between making it a perfect moment for him or a moment to keep...no choice at all!

Ahh, but you will keep it..... in your heart! Much better than a camera phone.

Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't bring myself to browse 683 pages of posts :D

I've checked out the Darwin and it looks like the ultimate PV, I'm wondering if anyone has used it with Ego-T LR atties, if you can even use them with the thing, and what their experiences were.
KC,
While I have not followed the "ego-T" specifically, anything 510 will fit on Darwin. There is also a 510 to ego adapter if you need the cone threads. So, I cannot say (with 100% confidence) that will fit, it should fit (a quick email to Drew should get you an exact answer). I use a FOG tank (designed for ego) on my Darwin (requires the 510 to ego adapter). I add in a 510 to 510 adapter to raise the bottom edge of the tank enough to allow the elbow to pivot and allow me to use it with the tank angled. The width of the tank prevents it from fully folding and turning Darwin off. But, this is not an issue (other than for pocket-ability) as Darwin uses almost immeasurable power in the on position (non-vaping with just screen on). If you want to be able to turn Darwin off with a tank (or larger atty than 801 size tube), Totally Twisted Texas makes a mini (1" flex) gooseneck which will permit Darwin to close/off with tank attached.

LR(s) are certainly useable but they do limit Darwin's access to the lower watts range. This is just ohms law and is no different from any lower end limitation (limited by lowest volts a device/batts can push). Using standard and higher (above 2Ω) give you greater access to lower obtainable watts. Setting Amps aside, as Darwin has Amps for any combo, the basic calculation is volts squared and then divide by ohms of the atty/carto = watts. So, if Darwin's lowest volts is 3.6 and you are using a 1.6Ω atty/carto: 3.6 x 3.6/1.6=8.1 watts. Using this combo, the lowest watts you can vape is 8.1 even if you set Darwin lower it will still vape at 8.1 watts. Of course you will get higher watts if you turn Darwin above 8.1. This is just Ohms Law in action. However, if you are using a 2.5Ω atty/carto: 3.6x3.6/2.5=5.1 so with this combo you can vape at 5.1 watts and higher. Higher Ohms gives you more access to the full range of obtainable watts (relative heat settings).

If you are using the same 1.6Ω atty/carto on any other true 3.7 volts device, you would be vaping at 8.5 watts (higher on freshly charged batts). 3.7x3.7/1.6=8.5 watts.

LR(s) are designed to simulate/imitate higher voltage vape experiences while using lower volts. With Darwin, there is really no benefit to using LR but you certainly CAN use them. LR also generally pulls more amps so you can go thru battery life faster. Again, not much of an issue on Darwin as it has such a great battery. But, if you are a heavy/power vapor - using LR will tend to drain your batteries (any batteries) faster.

Everyone has their own personal preferences - everything about vaping is very subjective. For me, I find LR(s) heat up too fast making it easier to get a burnt taste from my juices. I use higher VG content and VG burns at lower temps compared to PG. I often also multi-hit (3, 4, or 5 hits in a row) and find LR(s) often over heat with multi-hitting (again, producing a burnt taste).

The advantage of the full range of watts settings (by using standard or higher Ω attys/cartos) is a greater range of possible temperatures. You can still get all the heat of LR by just turning Darwin watts setting up. Many juices today are more complex combinations of flavors. Flavors all respond to temperatures differently (just like cooking food - some give off better/more flavor at lower temps and others at higher). I have juices that change dramatically with various watts settings - brings out flavors that I did not know were there before using Darwin. Darwin's ability to so easily turn the watts (relative heat) up and down so easily - and with many more increments compared to variable voltage devices - allows us to experiment with juices and attys and really hone in on our own personal "sweet spots" for different juices and attys/cartos. Using LR(s) just limits our access to the upper end of the watts range while using standard (or higher) Ωs gives us obtainable access to more of the full watts range and thus more heal level options.

Hope something in here is helpful to you.

It works as long as you have the adapter. I haven't tried it with the 510 extender but I have the 510-ego adapter and it works just fine. You won't be able to close the arm though so you might be better off using a cartomizer or something of the sort. I went from using the ego-t to dripping and I have tried the regular ego-t atty and the LR one on the darwin and it really isn't worth using compared to other atomizers. Just my :2c: though.

Sorry kingcobra, but you have to read all 683 pages in order to qualify for the T-shirt ;)
