As a matter of fact, yours does look wrong. I thought something looked a little peculiar when I looked at your images earlier.

All 4 of mine look like this...

I knew that didn't make sense! >: (

Just emailed the vaporflask folks. Judging from what everyone is saying about their CS, shouldn't be too big of an issue EH? Although it seems like for my case, the milling of the enclosure is just bad and I'll probably need a new enclosure.

OK Kiwi...I found these. Placing an order. If they don't work, I am out three whole bucks. If they do, you can PM me your addy and I will send you a couple.

The issue is that these plugs will plug up the wholes WITHIN the usb port itself. but it will leave the area between the usb port and the body of the mod exposed still

hmmm...well mine does not see to have a gap between the device body and the port...looking closer now.

Nope not much there...plus if they fit. the cap top should cover the entire hole.

ETA...your port looks more open than mine....vfport.jpg

With all of the board issues, it might take them a little time to get back to you but rest assured, they'll make it right.

I just emailed them myslef about the board issues on one of my DNA40s and don't expect a reply until sometime tomorrow.

imo, you need a new device. That gap around your usb port is huge and should not look like that.

Yeap. Nods. I'm ok with every other issue, but that is a very significant issue for me to be honest. Just the sheer possible exposure to fluids. Shakes head. I'll wait! I'll be ...... if my replacement unit comes with crooked screen though. OR no firing button :p

Looks to me mine has a much bigger hole, but I can see your usb port's card. Def a manufacturing inconsistency issue

ETA: in fact you can see that they definitely over milled my charging port hole such that it overlaps with the indicator light hole

I would want a new one too if any of mine looked like that.

Hey now! Watch it there buddy. :D

I agree Kiwi, it is not consistent but I see any usb charging having this issue unless the port is high up on the device, which would be awkward. I am going with plugs, not going to let it worry me. Worse comes to worse there may be some way to make a mold of the port and make some myself....why did I just think of Martha Stewart? :facepalm: Or maybe a cellphone store has some I can try.

Heheh God was like

"So you've been waiting for a flask for a while and failed multiple times? Here, have one. BUT OH WAIT, let me enlarge the holes a little too much"

Hehehe

There are a plethora of enlarged hole jokes there...but I am again behaving....hehe

(sent from Mars, it's not as red as I imagined.)

So... Time to get some knowledge. Soecifically on when the chip is supposed to detect a new atty.

I put on a 0.2 ohm build here:

Vapes fine.

Put on a 0.1 ohm build here:
4d037683cf92fd53bbc22179ecf3f7ac.jpg


It doesn't ask me if it was a new atty, although it reads the resistance right. Was it supposed to?

ETA: now when I put on a 0.2 atty, it still reads as 0.1 ohm, and gives me an instant temperature protection

Also holy crap bassnorma. I've quickly discovered another reason why that gap is a baaaaad thing.

Tried plugging in the usb into the port. Could feel the entire usb card just shift (lateral movement) and get pushed in

That's supposed to happen... The board is free floating in there

Just got done messaging with VF on FB. Those who have DNA40 issues such screen blanking or garbling or lock ups, etc.... programming issues will end up sending their Flasks directly to Evolve. Evolve will have a dedicated team to handle these Flask issues. The hold up is Evolve is getting together an RMA process for this to happen. VF & Evolve will post updates on their FB pages as soon as this is ready to go.

Hope this helps explain and clarify any delays in VF getting back in touch with us.

Excellent info. Thank you very much BlueSnake.

I won't say the abbreviation of your screen name as it might get censored. Ha!

Here's the RMA in pdf from Evolv, just noticed it on their contacts page of their website.
