FYI... There have been at least two mod manufacturers, VS and Vapecige thats been reported to have made statements that there are known issues with the charging circuit on some of the dna 200 board that causes it to die. I posted a pic of VapeCige reporting this the other day earlier in this thread that they had posted on Facebook but has since been removed it appears and @wrice4 has reported VS customer service expressing the same to him on the VS products. They state Evolv is aware of the problem and it will be covered under warranty but I've seen no statements from Evolv about this and the removal of Vapecige post has me wondering if this is being hush hushed.

That's odd because my understanding is that VS uses its own proprietary daughter board to "zip" charge. I'm not saying there couldn't be a common issue to both somehow, but just that it's odd.

Given some of the stuff coming out of vapecige, I'd take their statements with a grain of salt.

Yes this same issue happened to to me. I sent my device in for warranty work last week, and got it back yesterday. Took exactly 1 week to ship it, fix it, and get it back. Plus they paid for all of the shipping. I was told they had to replace the dna 200 chip, and that evolv is aware of this issue. For a detailed report on my experience, check this link out.

Everyone must have received their Vtbox200 and happily vaping with the thread going dead. I'm relatively certain my battery pack is failing. I can charge it fully now and almost watch the Battery % go down every 2 -3 puffs seems to go down at least 1% and pretty much continues on that discharge. Still waiting to hear back from Gearbest to see if they're going to do anything for replacement or not. But not real sure I want to replace it with another Lion Power. I'll probably look around to see if I can find a better quality pack that'll fit that won't ruin the budget.

Still waiting for mine to arrive, they must have shipped across the US by truck or it's stuck in customs or both.
It departed Elizabethport on the 29th

Wow that sucks. I think the best part of my order from Gearbest was the expedited shipping. Once they shipped it only took 5 days to get to me which really surprised me to be honest.

Still waiting, too. FT says they do not know when mine will ship. [emoji17]
I am a little worried about the post on VC's FB page with the picture of the battery directly wired to the board. I have submitted a question to both FT and VC. No response yet.

If they feel they need to eliminate the magnets and the Dean connector, at least send them with the box and I will mod it to include them.

Same here, 0 updates on all the White FT orders. I think the thread is dead cause some people gave up and bought other devices. While waiting I picked a Hohm Wrecker that may be simple but is the best TC experience I have ever had with a 151 watt pre-heat.
 
+DWCraig1 - That's nice. Any idea if that wrap was home-made or store-bought?

Also - +Vlad1 - Still not vaping on the VTBox200. That Chinese holiday is keeping me on hold. And indeed, I purchased another device as well: the Vaporshark DNA 200. The 900mAH keeps me from using this thing as a daily driver, though. Full battery lasts me 2-3 hours max, so I am constantly tethered to my charger. It has not given up on me like the VTBox200, though...

Dang, 2-3 hours? I get 8-10 hours of use out of mine before I throw it back on the charger.

I can easily see that with that small of a pack. I've recently put a Uwell Crown tank on with the .25Ω coil and running at 65W and can literally watch the battery discharge a percent just about every other draw.

Ya'll must vape a lot, I vape pretty frequently.

Today I've been using a dual SS430 coil in a RDA at 70W (110W preheat) and 470F all day (6.5 hours so far), and the battery on my VS200 is still at 62%. Thats with me probably going through 8mls of juice so far today, and vaping frequently.
