I also ordered the bulli a2 tm along with the downgrade to the classic a 2 as it is much smaller then the tank.if I can find a picture of the mark t closing I will be looking for one

Hey guys! I've been stalking this thread for a bit waiting to hear news about a release of a Darwin. I would love one so badly!
Yeah, way too big to close. A little top-heavy, too. The Line was just barely too big to close with a single 510 extender in place and the GTUS is a bit bigger than that (it's actually only a hair smaller diameter than the VPX tanks)
Well, I haven't had any problems with mine, yet. I bought it in early May of last year and it's been my everyday carry mod pretty much that whole time with no problems
The Bulli closed just fine for me when set up in both tank sizes with only the one 510 extender (which I leave on there all the time, anyway)
Ditto. I use only a single 510 extender just so I don't wear out the brass threads on the connector arm from repeatedly screwing/un-screwing. Every few months the adapter gets a little worn on the atty end so I swap it for a new one.
I stack 2 adapters, and they pretty much stay on there, I find its easier for tanks and what not, plus its perfect for the smoktech tanks, the slim ones, with a 801 fusion.
You and me both I miss my Darwin
. But latest news I heard was Brandon said on an interview a week and a half ago or so (maybe 2 weeks) that they had all parts just needed to assemble and not to expect stock for about 3 weeks. So I am hoping we will get a chance within a week or 2.

You must not be stalking as hard as me lol. (just kidding) It has been 20 days since he said a few weeks, but there was a holiday and a couple weekends in there too. Either way I am ready!!! I actually started stalking March 10th and was told 2-3 weeks back then. I am not angry so nobody needs to scold me for mentioning that, I understand that other products take precedence sometimes and things do not always go as planned. I have my fingers crossed really hard that we might hear something this week. I am a bit nervous because from what I have heard this might be the longest drought for Darwins ever and am afraid that when they become available, I might somehow miss it, be it work or something else. I am sure they will go quick but maybe there will be a bunch of them who knows.
I share your pain and feel the same anxiety as you do regarding availability once they do become available. You have me beat by several weeks of waiting (I started at the end of March) and pent up demand could easily blow through the ones that become available. I also have some fears that the Darwin may be coming to the end of its product life cycle with all of the new devices becoming available from Evolv. However, until I hear differently I am going to continue to wait and stalk just like you as it still meets my desires (I can hardly say needs with a device as advanced as a Darwin
) almost perfectly. P.S. An Opus with a display would also meet my desires perfectly, but that is likely asking a bit much in miniaturization for the devices at their current size, sophistication and price point!
What are all the things that people are using that you can close the arm with? With all of the new stuff that's come out lately I might want to give something else a try but most look like they are too big, and I don't want to mess around with a goose neck, at least not yet
I have a Bulli A2 as well as an A2TM, both of which close on my Darwin without any additional adapters (my Darwin is of the era where it came with an adapter pre-attached). There is enough space when closed to easily insert 3 sheets of paper between the A2TM and Darwin, any more and I have to force them. I have noticed that the Bulli does angle slightly away from the Darwin. It may be because of the adapter, or the way the threads are in the brass, so your Darwin may not be as accommodating, but a single adapter should allow it to close.

I have had to send mine in 2 times to be fixed in about 8 months. I have a friend at work that has had to send his in 5 times now in 8 months.
I dont think this is the norm but he has been very unlucky!
Also - Both Times my Darwin had to be sent in I was dripping during that time. I honestly think juice getting inside is what causes most of the problems. One time my lcd went crazy and I could see some blob growing across it.
The first time I sent it in I actually opened it up to take a peek. There was a ton of juice all over everything.
I hardly ever drip anymore because of this. I was pretty careful to but sometimes you put a few drops in take a puff or two, then set it down. Come back 15min later and juice everywhere. I have a love hate relationship with dripping.

In the earliest Darwins, the arm was not internally sealed. Evolv corrected that issue over a year ago. However, I still use sealed 510 to 510 adapters on all my Darwins as sort of a belt and suspenders approach. For my first year of vaping, I dripped pretty much exclusively (and used 801 style attys - most leak prone style). Dripping is sort of a learned over time thing but leakage from an atty is ALWAYS from over dripping.
Back in April of last year I posted a lengthy post in this thread about dripping. Drew referred to it as "DripUversity". Here is a link to that post and perhaps you, and/or others, may find it somehow helpful: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/nhaler/151096-darwin-evolv-290.html#post2964829 As that post is well over a year old, here are a couple of little updates: 1) disregard the dry-burn suggestion as it is not only not necessary but it also can risk damaging the nichrome and shortening the life of the atty - however, blowing out your attys a few times each day is still a good idea. 2) for 510 and 901 attys - I'd suggest using a drip shield (Drew carries some) - and they work fine on 510s if you add an adapter to extend the length allowing any juice coming out thru the atty airholes (in threads) to only come out into the dripshield (the adapter allows the threads of the atty to actually be inside/between the o-rings of the shield so any leaked juice stays in the shield). For 306 attys, the DCA is a no-brainer (they do not leak and hold a nice amount of juice). For 801 style attys - well, read the post.
Now I am using carto tanks pretty much exclusively so it is really no longer an issue as long as you are careful when refilling the tanks (spillage). I still use the sealed 510 to 510 adapters anyway and have developed the habit of looking at the device regularly as additional precaution. I am not sure if Drew has the sealed adapters in stock ATM but I'd imagine if you ask nicely...
I was an original tester of the final pre-production Darwin. Darwins are actually very well sealed now and the only way to get juice into them is if it gets in thru the button or the wheel. If it gets in thru the button, it can gunk up the button and cause the button to stick; if it gets in thru the wheel, it can gunk up the pot - neither is good and should be avoided. Just a little awareness and it becomes a non-issue. While I did, one time, get juice in thru the wheel - was carelessly filling a tank and was leaning over another Darwin sitting on its edge so the wheel was directly under where I was pouring - I have never had juice get into any of my Darwins from over-dripping leakage.
Hope this is somehow helpful.

Thanks to everyone who responded to both my threads! I don't dare drip with mine and in fact haven't leaked a drop of anything on it, might even be too cautious but I would be in a bad spot if I had to send it in, especially since I live in Canada. So maybe I will try out some other devices on it now though
How does a transfer of warranty work? And how many times can it be transferred? Thanks so much in advance!
I didn't know that - thanks. I may just have picked one up off the classies 
Hope this is somehow helpful.
As always, it is You're the best, NebBrat!
wigglr, congratulations! Welcome to Darwinia.
It's an atty tank, should be available in a few days. There's some discussion of it in this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...er-tank-system-now-stock-132.html#post6187823 and some teaser pics are here (and a few posts before that previous link): VPX REACTOR - Vaperfexion
