Sad face, was supposed to get my device today but we're still under a state of emergency. Probably won't be getting my device for another week. I basically live in a igloo right now lol. At least I don't have to go hunting for food although that may change soon ;)

But do you have enough juice???

Just received rDNA40 and played a bit. No temp tho...Nickel wire yet to arrive.
First DNA and Vapor Shark product. Solid unit. Excellent size.

My standard vape with KFL+ great at 15-20W.

Never been big on drippers or the sub ohm (smaller surface area builds)
Just did my first 24g build on Zenith v2. 17 wraps on 9/64 bit ~ 1.18 ohm. Cotton Labo wick. Cranked up to 40W and never experienced a dripper like this before. Outstanding vape.

:vapor:

Does anybody have the rDNA 40, MVP2, iStick. I'd love to know a real use battery comparison of these. I have the MVP2 and iStick, and even though the MVP2 battery is bigger I get about the same day to day use out of a charge on the iStick and MVP2 - iStick battery seems great. Can someone compare either of these to the 40 ?

All of that is relative on how you vape. On my dna30 vapor sharks with 1200mah lipos- i one has an erlkonigin with a 1.2ohm build and i get 4-5 hours on it at 22w. The other has a dual coil dripper at 0.5 ohm and i get 3 hrs at 25w.
On my rdna 40 with a similar built erlkonigin at 22w and 470° i get a full day.

I think it's a 10 day processing time on them. There is a banner at the top of the page I think.

I just got mine in today. Just using kanthal as I just started building coils, as in I built my first one today. Ugly but works. Now if they would hurry up and release the Lemo Drop I'd have a nice compact package. I am absolutely loving the wireless charger, very very nice feature.

I think Smoke Evolution has Lemo Drops, but so far only only in black. I'm gonna' hold out for the silver for a little while longer.

I ordered mine from VaperCompany, not a horrible price, free shipping, it's a pre-order type thingy but I have patience, which is odd in itself because I usually don't. I don't even have my new device yet but I wanted the black specifically to compliment my black VS-DNA40. I think it should look pretty cool. The tank size is a little small but it looks like a nice size so I went for it. If I like it maybe I'll order the larger brother. Not super crazy about the airflow adjustment. I am not overly irritated by the fill method since I use Kayfuns, which is a bit more elegant, but the recessed screw deal is kind of janky.

They might even have it in stock now. Never did business with this company before so make of that what you will.

I ordered the full size from there as well. It was out of stock so it took a couple days before they shipped it but I got tracking info and should have it Saturday. They sent to emails and seem to be an ok company so far.

Cool cool, it would be nice if you could follow up here and post your opinion on it. I don't wanna derail the thread but just your thoughts.

Yeah, dependent on what you have on it agreed. I have the same atty setup on my istick and MVP2 and they last equally as long with same wattage etc, even with the MVP2 having the bigger battery, which makes me think the iStick uses charge more efficiently somehow, so was wondering if anybody has identical atty setups on istick or MVP2 compared to an rDNA 40, seems it's not directly related to battery size sometimes :)

Some chips do have better power management and some batteries have different discharge rate as well. Then you have to factor in age and usage of the battery. I guess what im saying is with all the factors that go in and all the variables its difficult to get a truly accurate answer. Overall though, the only one with a changeable battery in your scenario is the rDNA.
