Where did you find authentic VTC4's
I haven't seen any for about a year now, glad I was able to get in on the last coop for the Samsung 25R's

In my opinion it will be just fine.
Just charge them both and make sure they both charge and hold 4.2 volts. If one is a tad bit weaker than the other the more powerful on will charge the lesser unit to balance the voltage. No harm done.
Just as a method of being comfortable with it check the charge level for the first 3 or 4 pair charges to make sure they come out balanced.
That said I have two sets that are like yours one a little older than the other and have not had any problems.
Caveat - just make sure you mark your pairs with a unique marking i.e. I have my sets marked set A thru G pair one both batteries are marked with a magic marker as bat "A" the next pair marked "B" ... etc. that way you won't get pairs mixed up. Also take time to check ever time you put Bats in your flask that you have both batteries inserted with the correct polarity. While the DNA40 board is reverse polarity protected the Vapor Flask is not and can not be. So if you get in a hurry when inserting batteries and make a mistake you will effectively short out one battery to the other and the result will be to blow the connecting link in the Flask or worse. This is not meant to scare you just prompt caution.
Another cotton burn test gone wrong. Hard to say if the chip is actually at fault here, but this should be watched if for nothing more than the comedic value.

Thanks squag,
I feel bad for the reviewer and I could feel his frustration. However you are right it is comical that poor guy is really P.Oed. I am still chuckling.
Send a PM to AMDTrucking he received a couple of fakes and knows how to test for a fake. I am sure he would be more than glad to help out.
people here should do their own test and let us know. they are saying that there is a glitch in the board, and working "sometimes".
I will, as you seem to be implying that they are fake? I did a fair bit of checking myself, and feel satisfied they are genuine.
RTD is a known reliable vendor - no need to worry about fakes from them. Do an ecf search
Sonic,
No please I don't mean to say they are fake just that several people claim to have gotten fakes or rebranded.
I don't know and would be inclined to believe they are the real deal. But if you are concerned just ask AMDTrucking.
I think Willie may be a little concerned that they may be rebranded units. What ya say Willie?
Well right after he fired the atty for the second time and some smoke came out, he did exactly the opposite of what he should have done... He quickly unscrewed and screwed the atty back on while the coil was still hot which reset the base resistance so when he then fired it again, the whole coil lit up and burned the cotton.Thanks squag,

I agree with you about pulling the atty and putting it back hot. But you have to admit he was so angry as to be funny.
The first burn the cotton test I watched yesterday by the third time he revised his videos here again you could literally feel his confusion and frustration. The only difference at the end of his reviews you could hear the whipped puppy dog confusion in his voice. The guy today was just plain angry from start to finish.
I was surprised to hear that the batches currently shipping are still showing screen problems. Do you think they are getting them from the same place Evolv is getting theirs? Brandon said all the components of the DNA40 were made in the USA. Kind of hard to think China is importing US components to build their clones with.
Well, that depends on the components. A bird told me that at least one Chinese company started outsourcing components from Europe because the quality is better and they are trying to innovate and start to move away from clones. The future is in quality and not only low price. It pays off having a good reputation with certain components not failing.

A little bird... OK
I get some email alerts about deals and the guy that runs that has been say the same thing about several Atty builders. They are coming out with better quality and innovation as much or more than straight clones.
So I guess the "Little Bird" knows.
Addendum: The price of the eLeaf Lemo is more on Fasttech than it is on eBay from locals. Is that a good thing.

Wow only three days in "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment". You must have selected the EMS option. GPS tracking has located mine:
What SKU did you order and when plz? I'm starting to be impatient. When I ordered last week the SKU 1660 showed as in stock, then I got the "next week" email, which is now pushed to next Friday as per last communication from "Kate". With all the reports of the chip performance inconsistency, I wonder if I should cancel and look for something else.
