+1 on upgrading to dna 40. Even if you never use a nickel build, reverse polarity protection is worth the $10 alone.

Agreed, that's the biggest reason I bought the 40 over the 30 when I bought. Y VS.

I really haven't kept up with the pluses of the DNA 40 since I've been very content with the rDNA30 - I prefer to use kanthal since I have miles of it - and I don't think temp control will come to play with the use of kanthal... But then again - I agree - 10 US dollars sounds like it's worth the upgrade...
So happy I have a 2nd gen "authentic" clouper clone to fall back to lol....
Does anybody remember how people would get highly irritable when you where out of cigarrettes?
Just curious- it's been known that the power button on rdna's tend to wear down in about a month of use. Has anyone here been using like a protective film for it?
That's like comparing a ego with a DNA40. 2 different things. In regards to driving the M3 has to be 100000000000000 times better than a ford F150. In regards to feeling like sitting on your sofa at home the F150 probably beats the M3.
I knew from the getgo there was something about you that I liked. Now that I know you own a M3 I figured out why. Good taste sir, good taste.
Get a skin buddy. I normally hate skins but the "shark skin" (available on the site for only $9.99 if you call now) is honestly the best skin I have ever seen. Isn't a dusk magnet, feels smooth and soft like a baby ...., and the best part about it is it keeps your shark like new. It's a pain to put on the skin but once it's on it ain't going anywhere. Best $10 I've ever spent.
The shark skin does not cover the power button? or I thought..
A little birdy told me I was getting a VaporShark rDNA40 for Crimbo. Gonna hafta read through some of this thread to get myself caught up. This will be my first "high end" USA-made mod. I've got a solid cana 30watt box mod, and one of the early ZNA clones, so I'm really looking forward to finally having a legit DNA device. I've already got some nickel wire and have started reading up on/asking questions about that. I'm pretty psyched about the temp limiting feature. I know it won't change the world but it's the first real innovation (IMHO) to happen to vaping in a while. 
edit:
I've also got an army of mech clones and a legit Richman genesis hybrid. And an iHybrid Pure. But to be honest, my gennies don't get much use anymore....

Yes it does. Only thing that's not covered is the 510 connection, screen, and USB. You will love it buddy trust me
nickel is a pita to work with and it will probably take you a few builds to get it all right but once you are there you will love it. Just make sure you use the "new coil" feature correctly, don't build your coil on the device itself, and be patient. I almost lost it the first few days with the dna40. I was honestly about to throw that thing against a wall but that was mostly my German Temper kicking in lol.

I apologize!! I jumped the gun. Figured they would not change stuff up if it works. Why would they leave the button exposed on the rdna but cover it on the dna? I liked that so much about the skin. disappointing

Thanks for correcting my error

so messed up. I like the feel of the button without the skin but just for protection I really enjoyed the cover over it. Thanks for posting that Randy
Good to know, thanks for the input! I expect a learning curve for nickel coiling. I figure I'll experiment with drippers first, and once I've got the ins and outs sorted, I'll move on to my RTAs.
Mines from the first batch, and my button is starting to wear out alrdy. Dark discoloration and scruffs.
On a related note, huge rDNA fan here, but objectively I can't be the only one who's a little. Bewildered. By some of the decisions VS made with regards to the value of the mod. A proper stainless steel button (instead of a silly chrome plated one) would add what? 1 dollar to the cost at most? Same goes for the 510 connection. Probably a couple bucks at most.
Silly corners to cut tbh

Pretty sure you are referring to the regular DNA skin. Not the rDNA.
