Bigger balls than me then F-B. I know when I took a mod skiing I was like that and hence the Ego/Riva in the pocket after that. If you do pick one up please post and keep me honest if I missed something about that batt. I have only had it since I got home today so time will tell if it holds up to the fumble fingers and hitting the floor a few times
So far so good. I like it, been using it with Giantomizer 3D. It will definitely work well when I don't want to take the Darwin. I wish it had the ability to lock it in the off position.
When charging at first the lite on the Ego charger stays green even though the color ring lites up and the battery LEDs start. After 15 minutes or so the charger lite turns red.
I wish it locked out too but oh well. On the charger thing watch that. I noticed the same and my light stayed green and while the batt was giving the light show it was not charging. A quick pry up of the center pin fixes the issue.
was blind but now I see!
I love this thing! Not a single analog for the past 4 hours (i know it's a short time but I just got it so what do you want from me) and it's working swimmingly! My mother doesn't seem to like it just yet (it's not a cigarette size) so I'll have to get a 510T for her but wow this is cool!

Wow! Your first ecig is the Darwin? That is indescribably awesome! I bought the 510-T for my mother's first PV and it works well for a while but has it's problems. Personally, I would suggest cartos on an ego battery or something like that but if it has to look and feel like a cigarette, that might not work.
The Darwin blows the competition out of the water. Really, it's in a class of it's own. You just won't get it untill you have one hence the ongoing VV vs Power regulated debate. This is by far the best money I have ever spent, and I mean that truly. I just wish it had a little more room for tank mods and such (No, I'm not going to use a gooseneck their ugly!).
Indeed
I am happy with cartos for now but if I ever feel the need to get a tank I will either use it on my darwin or get some inferior tube mod just for that purpose 
Indeed
This thing rocks with tanks...even if you don't bother with a goose neck, and never 'close the arm' on it. Keep in mind, large tanks are pretty dang hard to 'pocket' on ANY mod. At least with the Darwin you get a nice flat surface to support your tanks
1. Just set the arm at around 90 degrees.
2. Set the Darwin flat on its back with the LCD side facing up. If you use a whistle-tip twist that thing around to what ever angle works best for you (for me it's around 45 degrees).
3. When lifting the Darwin right handed, just put your right index finger on the button, your thumb on the opposite edge, and lift...vape (your palm will face down when lifting, and slightly outward when vaping). For me it's most comfortable with the Darwin out to the side a bit more (natural lift of the arm) kind of like holding a tooth-brush. For the left hand, similar motion, but with thumb on the button and index finger on the opposite edge.
Another alternative to the larger tanks if you really want to shut down the arm nd pocket the thing, are stuff like the Giantomizer 3D, and the slew of 3-4ml ego sized cartos that abound these days. Most of those will close up with the Darwin just fine if you just use 2 or more short extensions, or a single longer one.
No other mod have I seen that I can put a mondo tank on it, and just lay the thing on the car seat beside me while I drive and keep the tank upright. Nadda. The Darwin is the best tank platform I know of...bar none.

Well I had a crown 7 hydro but it broke before long... I just bought the darwin and an Ato-miser from a forum member here and I'm already not smoking.... it's a bit difficult right now but nothing I can't handle. I want one of those new mark T atomisers coming out and gold plate it. I like the idea of ego T tank or drip tip options on that new mark T
I'm actually really interested in whats going on inside the thing... I do a lot of microcontroller stuff as a hobby and understand that it's just a microcontroller doing ohm's law calculations on the fly but I'd like to know what sensors it's using.
anyone else noticing the voltage never dips below 2.5V? It seems that anything under 8.4 watts is still showing as 2.5V on the display.
Ok I had a quick question about the charger.....
Is the charger that comes with the darwin a wall charger only? Or is it a USB cable with a wall adapter? I see some of you posting your wall adapters so im kinda confused about what charger comes with the darwin.

The one I got has integrated cable and is 500mA. But any mini USB cable will work and i typically charge off a 2A adapter
What atty/carto Ωs are you using. Try some higher Ω if you are using LR. If you are still registering 2.5V, contact Evolv using the "Contact us" link on evolvapor.com and they will help you.
These are charge cords - the charger itself is built into the Darwin with smart-charge circuitry so you do not have to be concerned about over-charging (I charge while I sleep). I can only tell you the original cords are hard wired to the AC plug with a green light that dims slightly when you plug in the Darwin. I have seen some posts of those with newer ones that may have a red light on them and I do not know if those are hard-wired to the AC plug or USB to mini USB with the USB plugging into the AC plug adapter. However, you can use any mini USB charger. I have several. I use USB to mini USB cables and AC plugs with USB ports on them. I also have a 2 port USB car cig-lighter for my car. The original charge cord AC plug adapters have 5V 800mAh output. You can use 500 mah output on up to 2A. I think the Darwin circuitry will only take what it needs and can charge faster with the higher outputs. Mine are 1 and 2A outputs. So, pretty much, if it has a mini-USB plug you should be fine.
That depends the ohm rating of your atty or carto. I'm currently using s 2ohm carto, the lowest I can go before nothing changes is 5.7 watts at 1.7amps 3.4 volts.
At 1.5 Ohms resistance this is quite normal behavior for the Darwin. See, that atty calls for a certain amount of amperage by nature. To get it to go lower with such an atty, you'd either have to put a resister in line somewhere to steal some watts, or use a different type of batteries (no practical advantage to this really). Since you have an ato-miser, you can try using a bigger wire, and/or adding more coils/wraps (coil-length) to give more resistance if you like.
The Darwin can get as low as 3.2v if you move up to SR and HV stuff however.

I see... I'll have to buy some longer coil wire.. the stuff I have is strange compared to videos I've seen as it only allows up to 2 possibly 3 coils before there is a thicker non resistant wire?....
Interesting. I've not tried one of those kits, but my understanding is that they initially came with various nichrome sizes to try out. I.E. A dozen or so 1.5 Ohm strands. A dozen or so 2 Ohm strands. A Dozen or so 3 Ohm strands. Etc. Do you have a multi-meter where you can measure a piece before putting it in the atty chassis?
In any event, I bet if you contact nHaler and tell them the approximate resistance you want they can advise you and maybe even sell you the right wire for your target. There might even be a thread or two here on ECF for it. Here's one that might be worth your attention: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...rebuildable-atomizer-little-miser-all-us.html
Jorad - please clarify your issue. In your first post on this issue you said 2.5V (which Darwin should not do). My advice to you was to use HIGHER Ωs atty or carto to see what happens. you responded you are using only 1.5Ω which is low. We have many posts and discussions in this thread about using LR on Darwin. If you are reading 2.5 AMPS with 1.5Ω - this is very normal. So please clarify - 2.5 volts or AMPS. LR gear really limits the the vapable watts range of Darwin. This has nothing to do with Darwin and is all from OHMS LAW. Using standard and higher Ωs atty/catros you can still get the higher watts by just turning up the wheel AND you can vape the lower range too. LR gear limits you to the higher end of the watts range even when the Darwin dial is turned lower. LR gear also demands more amps and will drain your batt faster.
Before contacting Evolv, please clarify to us if you are seeing 2.5 Volts or 2.5 AMPs with that LR 1.5Ω. As I said, if 2.5 AMPS this is perfectly normal.
