No they are not. It's easy to swap s 30 for a 40 I'd post the schematic but it's a little early in the am for me. I believe there is one or two wires that are different. No prob.

Trust me I have both boards in front of me... The ground and power are consolidated to separate sides, up down, and fire buttons solder holes are in different positions as well as the out+ hole... In order to utilize the rdna piggyback board youll have to rewire the whole thing and that's not mentioning the usb connector

I did a basic diagram last night and decided it's too many wires to want to deal with

I received my rDNA 30 and my DNA 30 from Vaporshark today. After reading about them not shipping with the vtc4 battery I opted to also order a sony vtc4 which was available for sale on their website.

Well...the rDNA 30 did in fact have the panasonic NCR18650B installed in the device...I open the generic white box that should contain the Sony vtc4 and what do I find...another damn Panasonic NCR18650B ...? The invoice clearly states Sony US18650vtc4.

I don't know if I should complain to Vaporshark or not. I don't do any sub-ohm vaping and will probably never get over 10 watts with a 1.8-2.0 ohm coil on a nautilus on this thing (using those batteries). I did buy a few of the xtar 2100 mah 30 amp batteries from RTD and that is what I'm currently using in it. I understand the xtar is basically a vtc4.

Just a crying shame vapor shark has no quality control/customer service. I absolutely love my rdna but dread the fact that if anything goes wrong, it's a lost cause.

Has anyone linked this thread to them?

Well my rdna just died... I guess some juice leaked inside and I heard some hissing then the button got hot... Then no power... Removed the two screws and found a mess of juice inside..Guess it's time to send it in...

Bummer dude, let us know how your experience is with the CS side.

Luckily, it's just the DNA board that can go wrong in this mod, and it's an easy fix to change it out.

Unless you have to battle them regarding warranty and what not, that is.

If you guys haven't noticed, the channels cut into the top drain directly into the compartment that houses the board. No matter how careful you are, juice will eventually make its way in there unless you take some steps to prevent it.

Take the two Allen screws out and remove the cover, clean it with alcohol, run a bead of silicone around the lip and then replace the cover. Tighten the screws and then wipe the excess silicone off. Let it dry and no more juice will get in. The cover can still be removed later if need be. But if you open it you'll need to clean and apply silicone again. This doesn't permanently lock the cover on.

When I opened mine there was juice in there and I'm very careful with it and hardly ever use it. The shark skin also traps juice and squeezes it into the seams. Do yourself a favor and stop this leaking.

Brian says that there's a good chance it'll start shipping before the 28th. I'm being optimistic now. MUST HAVE TOYS

That would be great. I even chose to get it delivered by UPS. That takes two days as opposed to 2-3 weeks from US to Norway.

Since the rDNAs have separate battery and wiring compartments, could we get away with just sealing the wiring housing with silicone? Also, I guess you could silicone the whole thing if you planned to only charge with USB.

I just sealed the compartment that houses the board.
