That is where I got mine (about 6 to 8 months ago). I have not looked on their site in a while. But, you can certainly email them and ask when they might have more and/or if you can be notified when they have them.
The Darwin From Evolv!!!

Is the blue screen now standard? Damn is that enough reason to get another one?
Also - a reminder to all the new Darwinians out there - this has been posted but worth restating. Lithium Polymer cells (Darwin batts) prefer to be topped-off regularly as opposed to being drained to cut-off all the time. Recharging (or going to PT mode) when gauge reads 40-50% (remember that the gauge is not an exact scaled read of the charge and hangs at full for the first several hours), will prolong the overall longevity life of the battery cells. While true that Evolv provides a full 1 year warranty on the batts, and replacement after that is only $25 and comes with a new full year warranty, vaping your batts to cut-off all the time is unnecessary wear and tear on the batt cells. Granted, I (and others) have more than one Darwin so it is easier to swap out and charge devices but I would suggest, at the very least, charge your Darwins each and every night. I charge mine while I am sleeping. Darwins have smart-charge circuitry so there is no concern about over-charging like with many other battery chargers.
Draining to cut-off all the time can (over time) shorten the useable life per charge. If you want the most use from your batts - both per charge cycle and overall longevity - recharge frequently. I know some people like to post about getting 2 or 3 days per charge but continuing to do this can eventually leave you with shorter use per charge cycle.

I've learned to phrase my vaping expenses in terms of POCIDB / COCIDB:
Packs/Cartons of Cigarettes I Didn't Buy.
It has a kind of logic that is difficult to argue with.
True, but I would have had to smoke 4 packs a day (instead of a little over 1) to equal my vaping expenses so far . . . then again, she doesn't pay attention to how much cigs cost, either, so maybe that would work ;-)
KJ1 just tell her you are paying NY prices!! At $10/Pack my ex 1.5PAD habit provides a significant amount of vape spending justification!!!
Thanks for posting the info re: battery life. Very informative for new darwinians.
huff, did you ever get my PM? i sent it before you recieved the darwin and packed it full of good info including the battery thing
That was great advise........care to share some more tips
I have a few more day to learn before it gets here.

Hey i would like that PM as well,, maybe there something I dont know yet. LOL
hi all,
just pulled the trigger on a new Darwin.
I was curious if some other users (new ones too) could give me an idea of what to expect and/or not expect from the Darwin.
Also, i am looking for a FOG tank, if anyone knows where to find one. I cant seem to find one anywhere.
Also, any knowledge on using a Vapemate with the Darwin?
Any other good ideas for specific cartomizer/atomizers?
Anyways, i am already antsy for the delivery...and i only ordered a few hours ago.

Hi Jager. I know a few people here use tanks on the Darwin. If you look through the threads there were some posts with positive comments about the Vapemate and different advice on how to use tanks w/ the Darwin. I just got one Friday and am absolutely IN LOVE with it. It's an amazing and easy to use mod.
Give me a few minutes and I'll try to get the link for you that the ppl. here shared w/ me.

This has some good information to start with.. Congrats on owning, as it was told to me, The Rolls Royce of Mods! Some more experienced members will weigh in but thought that this was a good start.

Welcome aboard "thejagar". This thread has been happily active today with upcoming Darwinians -- so you just might want to go back a couple pages and read today's posts in addition to the great link.
And, of course, it's OK to ask questions. Someone's bound to show up and answer them!

There are some pics in this thread of that combo, I think some within the last couple days if you feel like digging back a few pages ;-)
As for what to use on it, the Darwin will take anything you care to throw at it and work just fine. Definitely check out the "vape like a research monkey" thread, there's a lot of great info in there. Much of it is the tips and whatnot that have been mentioned throughout this thread, but all condensed into one place so they're easier to find
Welcome to Darwinia!
Welcome jager and KJ1 is correct MWA posted some nice pics of his Darwin with a Vapemate in this thread. I believe it was earlier this week
Thanks emonty
Great, thanks for the info Huffel
Thanks Drew for the help and info, I am happy that the new blue screen is now standard. It's my wife's favorite color so that might help soften the blow
Well, I am "officially" going to be a Darwinian again, just placed my order. I must confess that I was a member previously back in June but left the club (sold it), not due to any issues with the device but thought there might be another device out there that would be a better fit for a backup mod or a mod I can use for when I travel or just when I have to run a lot of errands but I was WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is my experience, FWIW to those curious who haven't had the pleasure of using or owning a Darwin or who are unsure\skeptical about a Darwin.
I have always had a ProVari since December but I was wanting a device as a backup and possibly as a device to use when I either travel or when I am out of the house for a couple of hours as I don't prefer taking the Vari out with me as there just isn't an easy way to carry it or at least I haven't found out an easy way to do so and so after trying other mods I got a Darwin. I enjoyed the Darwin very much, very consistent, easy to use and although some don't like the looks (at first I wasn't sure about it either) but after using it, it was unique, not like the other tube mods and I liked it and the techie feeling, it was comfortable to use and when setting it down it didn't move, at all and this was really important especially while driving instead of trying to keep the tube from rolling around or keep it upright. I like the idea of not having to fool with batteries and I could just plug it up each night and I was good to go. It worked fine with my tanks back then and I just had to make sure not to push it down past the adapter. My only small gripes were the button grew some kind of green stuff, but came to find out that is normal for brass as well as sometimes I would adjust the wattage since the wheel was sensitive but again those were the only gripes I could come up with, which aren't bad.
However, I just thought maybe the grass was greener on the other side of the mod world and was hoping maybe there was a smaller mod out there that I could use. My issue is that I have to have a variable voltage device as 3.7 volts just doesn't do it for me, even with the lowest of low resistance attys or cartos so I sold my Darwin and started trying other devices. But soon I started realizing there wasn't many devices out there that were small and variable voltage devices that even came close to the same functionality and technology of the Vari or the Darwin. It seemed like the only other devices that were VV were either the same shape as a ProVari (tube mod) or they were box shaped and while I tried many devices since I sold my Darwin, nothing was working for me and my needs when traveling or when I was just out of the house. I then tried the mechanical mods and figured with new innovations like the Kick, that I would then finally have a small device that I could have as a die hard backup but more importantly use when I travel or when I am out of the house BUT being the Kick is 15mm in size, this would make the device still have to be at least an 18500 battery size which wouldn't be that much smaller than my ProVari.
So then the question became what size or type of device would I want to use while I travel as well as at least have the VV feature? Then I started reading all the new improvements Evolv started making to the Darwin and came to realize that the Darwin is all I really need since I already have a VV tube mod and even with the upcoming release of a popular box mod being VV, it just seems that the Kick and any other of the current and upcoming devices just can't match the technology that goes into the Darwin, so I come to realize that with a ProVari and a Darwin that I am pretty much set.
I am also going to get a G-Tank-US and with seeing Emonty's pics of The Line, hopefully there shouldn't be any issues with closing the arm (as they seem close in size) but even if there are, like everyone says, hardly any battery is used to power the LCD screen. The only other possibility is when the batteries need to be changed but for the convenience of not having to buy and charge separate batteries anymore, that the $25 charge is well worth it. At first I wasn't convinced but after seeing how Evolv has taken care of their customers and how quick they are to respond, I have no more worries about this.
Again these are just my opinions and experiences and I am no expert by far and have only been in the vaping game since July 2010 but I honestly don't know of what other functionality that can be used that can go into a device that isn't covered with either the ProVari or the Darwin. I know there are juice feeders and auto-dripping but I use carto tanks and eventually a rebuild-able atty with a tank so FOR ME, I logically can't think of anything else I would need which is both difficult and hard for me to say as I love trying out new devices and such but I do need to face reality and just start keeping with what works and limit myself to only trying new things if they truly do offer something new.
Anyway, sorry for the long post and I am sure a lot of it didn't make much sense but hopefully there are some bits and pieces that make sense and I am just happy to once again be a Darwinian
and hope that this helps someone that is undecided or at least curious about this great device.Take care and Vape On
