Don't those still go down to 3-5 watts?
Gimme 3 watts - 100 watts on a vw device and I'll have fun!

It appears as the wattage settings go up on the dna devices the minimums goes up as well.
Just read this comment on a news website..
"Innokin is cheap Chinese made garbage. I would highly recommend avoiding their products, especially the SVD which only uses tape to hold the electrical connections together. Should the adhesive on the tape age and stop holding the wires, and should a wire come loose and contact the body of the ecig, that creates a runaway short circuit. EXTREMELY dangerous, especially if you're stupid enough to have an unprotected Li-Ion battery in it."
Not really sure what to make of this - but I've just bought one, and the mother in law just acquired one courtesy of me....
Not really happy if this is the case, if I'm honest! Anyone know if this is true? It seems pretty sturdy and the quality I can see is good, generally. I'm happy with it but this has me concerned!

The few tear-down pics I've seen have no tape, only solder.
Now, the quality of the fire button has been a topic, but it's not taped in either. (BTW, mine is about 6 months old, fire button is "soft", not clicky, but works fine.)
Btw, what "news" site?

I don't see a hole forming in the market. Sure, there are people chasing higher power levels, but I still think that they are in the minority currently. Look at the "major" DNA30 players. All of them are producing small batches (compared to the production capability of Innokin) and are putting maybe a few hundred devices out at a time.
Also, I don't see the majority of vapers shelling out $200 - $300 to vape a Protank at 8 watts.
Minimum on a DNA20/30 right now is 7 watts or higher.
I say "or higher" because the DNA technology is better at boosting voltage than lowering it. Run the ohms too low and it will just "dump" minimum voltage to the coil. Right now my DNA20 can only regulate down to 9.3 watts on a 0.9 ohm coil, and my 30 down to 11.3 watts with a 1.2 ohm coil.
Yes, and should you pop a spark plug loose from your car and puncture the gas tank with the ignition wire still connected, your car will blow up.
I question the experience of the writer. Now, I don't have intimate knowledge of the internal workings of the SVD, but electrical tape protected from the elements (as it would be inside the mod) will last for decades without degrading.
Also, using protected batteries in a VV/VW mod is wrong. A consequence of boosting voltage via the regulation circuit is pulling MORE amps out of the battery than what is being provided to the coil. Using a protected battery risks triggering the protective circuit, causing a shutdown every time you hit the fire button at certain power/voltage levels.
Daily Mail - was a user comment

I've had a bit say on it, but not related to that particular comment, as I'm not sure how an SVD is wired up. Just had me a little worried.
And apologies, didn't make it clear it was a user comment rather than a news "report". Still, the way it's expressed seemed to have a working knowledge I didn't have, so prompted me to ask here. Wonder how many other people would just read it and go "avoid SVD's"
Aware of the fire button issues, but so far mine is a champ. Really happy with it.

Not to get off on a tangent, but it seems there are a LOT of people that seem to live to be spoonfed crap from the talking heads on the idiot box, happy to receive every word as a sacrament, treasuring it and obeying without question, comfortable with never having to think for themselves.
My second SVD (a replacement for my failed first one) has been performing admirably since I received it. Only time will tell.

I just bought an SVD in the classifieds today, and have read this whole thread, so I'm aware of the button issue. What I'm seeing overall is that most folks really like it, other than the button issue. SOOOOO, I'll take it easy on the button, and hope for the best. This is my first step up from a Spinner, so I have a question. Do you adjust EITHER Voltage OR Watts, or BOTH?
I'm with you guys, I think they will fix it, they fixed the falling-apart issue with the vv3.
Meanwhile, I'm getting a Sigelei zmax v3 flat-top. It seems to be just right for me, right now, and doesn't cost a fortune.

Right, one or the other, not both. In VW mode you set the watts, and any topper within it's range, the SVD will automatically deliver the voltage necessary to reach it while staying within range. So if you have several flavors loaded in different toppers, AND they all "like" the same heat, change toppers, still vapes great with no intervention. In VV mode, if they happen to be different Ω values then you have to set the right voltage. Different ways of getting to a good tasting vape.
Of course, it's also true that different flavors may have an optimum power setting for best taste, but I find that VW mode is easier with my assortment of toppers.
Just start at a low setting and work up to taste.
I think everyone's buttons are breaking on them that is why, I have to put 200lbs of pressure on mine just to make it fire.
Either.
Volts squared divided by resistance equals watts. Once you have set the value for one, you have set the value for the other. It's just two different ways of doing the same thing.
Mine's nearly a year old and still going strong. No button issues at all.
OK skimming back through this thread and seeing the problems reported with the SVD makes me want to say I guess I'm just extraordinarily lucky with mine . Eight months of heavy daily use including having dropped it 3 times last week alone and not a single solitary problem with mine , it looks and functions the same as the day I got it , based off of my personal experience I will not hesitate to order another one , I'm not trying to discount what others are saying but I gotta go with what I know , my SVD has been a flawless , tough piece of gear , I couldn't be happier with mine .
I'm on my second one. Which on three clicks to turn on turns on with the red yellow green flash of the led. But you can't vape yet, no you will have to push it once no light try again and it might by the third it always will. Strange came out of the box doing this and does not produce near the vapor of the first one. Once you get it on the power button so far seems to work ok.
Yup many of these type of problems. My first one failed on day one. The second lasted a week.
Got mine in the mail today! WooHoo! I read the manual I found online (yeah, I know, they can take away my guy license for reading the manual, but WTH, I don't want to screw it up), put in the new battery, pushed the button 3 times to turn it on, adjusted the voltage to where I normally keep my spinners, & YAY! Success! Now I need to figure out this "watts" thing for dialing in that way.
Just set it low and work up in 1/2 watt steps until it starts to taste "off", then back it down the last step. You may want to LOC the settings then, easy to do and un-do. It will then deliver that power, within range of the SVD, regardless of the Ω value of the topper you put on it.
Of course, not all flavors "work" best at the same power
