I'm waiting to test mine, I'll post battery life, charge time for computer USB and also with the adapter. There are 2 600mah 20C batts wired in parallel. I don't know the rating of the 1400mah battery/batteries in the Darwin. If you take it somewhere where plugging in is going to be a problem, may I recommend a portable USB power source. They're just big batts that you can charge and then take with you to charge phones, tablets, etc. during times out and about where you don't have an AC power source.
Excellent. Two 2.5ml phiniac tanks with the rotary
controller at more thank half way around before I need to charge.

First try, moderately heavy vaping, single coil atties dripping, about 1.7mL liquid, wheel turned up halfway: Battery life 6.25 hours. I'll test battery life again after its first full drain and charge. This first was after just topping it off after receiving it new. By the way, I also confirmed it has the DNA 12 board now.
First charge time with AC adapter: 4.5 hours
Second full usage: Battery Life 9.25 hours About 2.6mL dripping.
First charge time with USB to computer USB: 2.8 hours

I go through about 6 to 10 mils of juice per day, it depends on the day, and I have only ever had it go dead on me once, after a full charge. I use 3 ohm cartos, and 2.5 ohm atties, dialed in between 8.5, the midway point, and about 10 watts.
Mine should be here shortly. How do you determine the wattage on the Opus? Also, is there a way to verify?
Thank you
Thank you
I use this: Ohm's Law Calculator
You'll need to know the exact voltage of your APV and resistance of your atty or carto. I use a multimeter or voltmeter and a resistance meter. Or if you don't have them, you can guesstimate.
By the way, mine is of recent vintage and I found the range to be 5.5-12 watts.

I know for some knowing the exact voltage and resistance is important and I use to like check this when I first start vaping with every device/atty.
Now I for the most part just turn the dial on my Opus(Darwin you can see) to the point that I get good flavor and throat hit.
I found I spent to much time doing the prior when all I looking for is flavor, TH and vapor in that order.
The Opus is great handy device for me for on the go.

I had a long battle with myself on whether I should get one. Now that I have, I am really very pleased with it. I don't have any of my personal "Darwin" issues with it, lol, and it just seems perfect.
Who else would love to see the plastic rotary knob replaced with a hand turned brass one? Lord knows I would,
Cool screename Dude!!!! I gotta name a liquid after you!!! LOL

I got 9.25 hours on my first full charge at home. About 2.6mL dripping. This may be one of those battery types that needs a few full discharges/recharges to reach full capacity.

A question, out of curiosity. Is 9 hours of run time a bad thing? I'm not being smart assey I'm genuinely curious if you feel that 9 hours is a so-so amount of time? If I could get 9 hours out of my cellphone after having it on all day and constantly using it, I'd be endlessly grateful.
Too many variables to ever compare batt life per charge against anyone else's. Resistance impacts amps used and amps ARE batt life per charge-cycle - lower resistance uses more amps each activation = less "hours". Condition/age of batt is another factor; battery charging patterns also impact - running to cut-off regularly can reduce the number of overall charge cycles AND it "can" also reduce life per charge cycle. Most significant variable is aggregate button time - someone who vapes with an average aggregate button time of 4 minutes per hour will get much less "hours" than someone who averages 2 minutes of aggregate button time per hour (no realistic way to compare "average aggregate button time"). Then consider that each hour will vary in average button time and/or from person to person. All of these combined (which they DO combine and no way to avoid any of them other than equalizing resistance in the comparison - equalizing only one variable is not enough to make a realistic comparison) yield in incomparable scenario.
Someone posted a comparison to Darwin. Darwin has 1800 mah vs Opus 1200 mah. However, Opus uses Evolv DNA which is a newer version of the Evolv microprocessor and may be more efficient - no way to accurately measure (especially as Darwin batts in circulation are mostly older now and have had many more charge cycles - as mentioned, charging patterns impact the battery over time).
Basically, wondering about "hours" and/or trying to compare "hours" is sort of pointless - just vape and enjoy. If for any reason you end up experiencing an inordinately short charge cycle - like under 5 hours - (and this pattern repeats), then contact customer service and they may be able to help you via email or they may ask to have you send the device in for inspection.
Absolutely agree. I have no problems at all with mine. It could run for 6 hours and I'd still be stoked to have it. Just wondering what siouxsie was saying. If 9.25hrs wasn't all that satisfactory, or just stating a point for anyone wondering. Like me.

However, also remember, running to cut-off on a regular basis is a bad idea. As I have posted previously, and in other threads, these batts like to be topped-off. Running them to cut-off (counting "hours") can result in reduced number of charge cycles over the lifespan of the batt and it "can" also result in reduced life/use timer per charge cycle. While this will not happen immediately, or from the occasional use to cut-off, it is much better for the batts to be recharged BEFORE reaching the cut-off.
Oh yeah. I saw your previous post. I'm of the rare breed of people that read through an entire thread before posting. Most of the time anyway. All your post in this thread made my brain hurt. Too much information! But it was all great information. I've had my Opus for a few days now, and haven't let it die on me yet. I'm also the kind of guy that fills his gas tank when it gets to a quarter of a tank.
