How did I miss this? I thought I had been keeping up with the forum, now I'm mad at myself. I want one, when will they be in stock?

Somebody better call a moderator quick.........cause there's people posting pornography in the NHALER forum.....
just got my opus--for such a small and light device it sure packs a lot of punch. threw a 3.0 Ohm bridgeless cisco atty on there and cranked it up to the max and was able to max out at about 5.8 volts or roughly 11.21 watts. then i tried a 2.5 Ohm bridgeless cisco atty and the opus was able to push a max 5.3 volts or roughly 11.24 watts. Finally, gave a try to some LR stuff: threw a bridgeless 1.5 Ohm cisco atty on the opus and it was able to max out at 3.95 volts or roughly 10.40 watts.
i tend to vape at around 5.8 volts using 3.0 Ohm attys so the opus' heat capacity is right at my sweet spot, but still, my device was not able to push the purported 12 watts. as i said, not an issue for me, but for those that like their vape REALLY hot...
is my device consistenst with your findings, drew? what about everyone else on the thread? just curious...

would it be better the drain the batteries of this device til it flat out stops vaping? or should i start recharging prior to that? and it's safe to leave this device charging unattended overnight?
i know this has been discussed at length too, but do you guys charge your darwins the same way? the batery indicator on that device is a little strange so i tend to recharge for like two or three hours after the display shows like 20% left. thanksfor the feedback in advance!
Opus uses the same type of lithium polymer battery as Darwin. I am fairly sure (98+%) the DNA board has the same type of "smart" charge circuitry as Darwin too (certainly no reason for Evolv to not include it).
I charge my Darwins and Opus every night while I sleep. Whenever possible, I do not run my Darwins below 50% on the gauge. The Darwin battery gauge hangs at full for a few hours so the gauge is certainly not to scale.
The Evolv low batt cut-off (Darwin and DNA) is at a very safe level but lithium polymer cells prefer to be topped off. Regularly draining your batts to cut-off, over time, will shorten the overall lifespan of the batteries (total number of charge cycles) and it can (but not necessarily will) reduce the use per charge cycle time as well. It is best to charge them regularly and not run them to cut-off.
If your gauge is approaching half, and you plan to use it for the remainder of the day/night, best - if you can - to throw it on the charger. You can continue to use it - just remember that when using PT style you are still vaping off the battery. At at least the battery is charging while you are using it. If you run it to cut-off and then plug it in, best to let it charge for 20 or 30 minutes before you start using it. This, as I said, is because you are still vaping off the battery. If you are at cut-off and plug it in, it IS possible to vape off the batt faster than it can charge thus running it right back down to cut-off. If you wait 20 or 30 minutes, you will have sufficient charge (above cut-off) that you should be able to continue vaping without risking running it right back down to the cut-off level.
Hope something in here is helpful.

nebulabrot,
thank you so much for the comprehensive turorial on these batteries! indeed, your words are full of sage advices and tips--i am sure that your advice will not only help me extend the life of the batteries but also help me maintain longer charges and vaping times!

OK so i can't find my voltage meter anywher, its been since like January since I last used it, so who knows where it could be, so the only way I can judge the wattage output is by taste and feel, used the same tank on both, ialed my Darwin in to 12 watts on the dot, 2.3 ohm XL 801 Fusion, 5.4 volts is what the Darwin reads, I dial my Provari in to 5.4, essentially the same vape, a tad cooler, voltage drop under load I'm sure, screw it in to my Opus, turn the dial all the way up, it is noticably hotter, I have a friend who is also a vaper, he says the same thing, my wife who isnt, agrees. I messed with it for a while the Darwin did not get hotter until i got above 12.5. Is this scientific? Hell no, but it is my experience Thus far. Just the same I will continue to look for my volt meter, maybe at work in my desk. But if i had to guess I would say my Opus is pumping out about 12.4 watts max
Provari doesn't drop under load...what you may have there is the Darwin and the Opus putting out more amperage than the Provari at the same voltage to get to the wattage desired. I am not an expert, nor do I claim to be one, but I have checked and this device doesn't drop voltage under load according my MV meters.
I hear ya brutha...I love my reo...All 4 of them...Just every now and them I get over squeazy and I have to clean it out with a tissue...Not often but...One time with a board in there and its OVER! I will take a look at that pump...Thanks Brutha...Good to see ya around.
Drew,
My thought would be to conceal the board, totally separate and concealed of course from the juice compartment, and even better have the juice compartment totally concealed as well as the Atty connector on one side, with the Batts & board also concealed separately on the other side. Then if there ever was an issue, well, no issue because of the separation and concealment. Those Piezo pumps look to be pretty dam good and they come in different sizes to fit a nice box
If anyone can do it Brutha you can, a Piezo pump feed in a Darwin type Mod would be, well you know, over the top lets call it, maybe the VWN-Humper-Pumper HAHAHHA

V2 doesn't, V1 did, not insanely like the LT, but it did, that said, we were using a V2. I'm no expert neither, the Provari just did not seem to be giving the same result, it wasn't a huge difference, but it just didn't FEEL the same. But yeah, I was wrong bout the voltage drop comment. That said, the amp limit should have been well with in the V2 range. 2.2 amps according to the Darwin with this at 12 watts. I wonder if the adapter made the difference, I've heard others talk about other people having issues with adapters. I may retry the whole thing with a regular 510 cartos just to see.
Btw, sorry for not getting back to you, I've had 4 pm's asking the same question, lol, I figured it would be easier to do it here.

I do have one issue, my threads are a bit grindy, not terribly bad, but I can see it getting worse over time, is noalox OK on these, or should I find something else?
My V1s don't sorry. I don't know if early ones did but mine don't drop.
Really? Thats cool, i dont own a V1, I mainly got that from this video. He has it set to 6 no load, it gives him 5.9 under load

Will these come in different wood? I want one but am hesitant to pull the tigger simply because I'm hoping for different woods/stains.
There was an unanswered question earlier about availability in Canada. Drew will jack be getting these or can I order from you?
Sorry guys...Im in bed with the flu..It is to soon to answer these question anyway....Thanks,
Drew
