After 2.5ml mother's milk vape it still shows 3/4 battery life. KFL+ w/ 1.3ohm coil running at 15w. Mind you when I start vaping this SB juice I always have a hard time putting it down. Im impressed with the battery life. Now I very much regret getting the couple efest 18350 & the sony 18650 spare batts for the evic because I dont see myself using it for a long while! Those batteries came in the same day as the VS! >.<

Unbelievable, since I am still waiting on my VS. THIS picture blew me away, I think its smaller than a garage door opener.

Even the pictures don't really do it justice. Even with comparison items in the shot. I'm still amazed at how tiny it is. We could show you pics all day and night and when you get it in your hand you would STILL go "This thing is TINY!" :D

UPDATE: So I'm at about the 43 hour mark with the VSDNA. I'm at almost 1/4 battery, vaping pretty steady at 10 watts (1.5 ohm coil). I still have yet to charge it. I should have no problem going a full day on it. (Got it at 3pm Saturday, vaped it till bed. Slept, woke, vaped, slept, currently vaping.)

It took a dive out of my chest pocket in my coat when I was walking the dog yesterday morning about 3ft to the concrete. It's only got 2 little scuffs, and my KF has 1 scuff on the drip tip and no other damage. The actual casing on the DNA is tough. Should withstand some decent use.

About the high/pooling paint... it shouldn't be an issue except for any spots near the 510. I have a feeling that over time they'll wear under the toppers, and possibly be the site of flaking. Again, it's too early, but I'll be keeping an eye out.

Otherwise... I'm loving it. My daily carry has gone from VTR+tank+battery and 1 spare tank, extra juice, extra battery, extra coils down to DNA+Kayfun+USB cable + blowout kit (cotton, kanthal, tweezers, clippers, extra juice) it all fits in a pocket now... instead of in my laptop bag. :vapor:

Mine has arrived, really like the size and feel. But, after vaping on it at a mere 8.5 W for an hour's drive, then a few hits here, I got the DNA reset this guy was talking about:

Anyone else having it? Hoping a couple battery cycled will help.

Less than 30 minutes after my last post... it died. (Well... not died died... just battery dead.) It rebooted and now shows no battery life on the meter. So... it's on the charger.

Here's my guess, Flav... when you got it, it wasn't as fully charged as some of the others (like mine for instance)... and you drained it to that cutoff. I just noticed that when my battery finally kicked it... it said there was 1/4 battery left. BUT... I got pretty solid usage out of mine so it didn't even worry me in the slightest.

I would do a full charge (3-ish hours), and vape on. IF, after 1 or 2 full charge cycles, you're still seeing very crummy battery life, then call VS and let them know. At worst you might just have a faulty battery pack.

I charged it fully before use, wouldn't even display right out of the mail. I gave it a little top up charge, trying again.

Battery indicator showing half full when it started that.

Then that's a different story. If it arrived dead, and you fully charged it before you vaped, then I'd keep a closer eye. It couldn't hurt to attempt a cycle or 2 to verify, but might be a loose connection to the battery somewhere (like in that other post) or a weak/faulty cell.

You feeling adventurous and feel like takin' a look under the hood? (If not, I'd give it one more cycle and then just call VS.)
