Yeah the new coating has been holding up well so far.

Then again my rdna40 from the very first run hasn't had any issues. I keep them both in the skin though

Same here. I have that coating on both DNA30 and rDNA40 and they're holding up pretty well. Both are in skins too.

Guys I am curiuos if its safe to charge through USB overnight? For some damn reason my battery always shows weak battery when im about to sleep lol. I guess its a good thing, it lasted me the day!

I've left mine to charge overnight every night for a few months alrdy. So far so good!

Similarly, I leave mine on the wireless charger all night every night for the last 3 weeks and all good do far at least.

I feel ok about it because after the charge indicator turns green, I'm pretty sure it shuts off charging load to the battery when it's completed. (It's warm while charging then cool after it turns green).

Informative post. Thanks KT!

Yet we're using a device with the ability to set that high.
If setting too high puts us closer to the danger then why put the danger on the market?
Based on this it would seem VS or Evolv are putting us at risk or no?

Huh, you can't be serious. Good grief :facepalm:

The fact is that there is NO conclusive data yet that any of these studies prove anything. It's still too early to say. Brandon from Evolv stated that they made the max and min limits arbitrarily based on what THEY found to be the vaping range of most vapers, whether it was safe or not mainly because they didn't know (nor did anyone else). I would say putting out 100+w devices is more dangerous than a 40w, wouldn't you agree? Evolv stepped up and gave us temperature protection over more wattage. I know there's a lot of people on here that laugh at 40w but realistically, more than 99% of vapers don't need more than 30w, especially with regulated mods now. There's no good reason to sub-ohm unless you're still using mechs. The general American way of thinking "more is better" just isn't the case here. In fact it is more dangerous.

Right behind you...
Amazon, eBay, just about any vaping vendor, and just about the same price as Kanthal for the same amount. 28ga is the most popular (and often out of stock), but a lot of folks like getting 30 or 32g and twisting it, because there's plenty of it in stock, and when twisted it's a bit easier to work with than 28ga.

To anyone that had to send their shark back. Did VS email you to let you know they had sent out your replacement? Just wondering since mine shows delivered on Monday morning but I haven't heard anything about it. Though they did say it might take 2-3 days to ship based on inventory. It would be nice to know when it's on its way.

Thanks again KT! It's 'learning' post like this that help.
I tried to watch the Brandon/PBusardo video long before I had an interest in getting the rDNA40 but my attention span wouldn't allow me to sit that long.

Alxx.... I think I sent mine in the same day you did and I got a shipping notification email from VS this morning.

I got an email that said your order has been updated and it had a tracking number when they sent mine back.

Hi guys. Proud new owner of a Rdna 40. Mine is the new version with the bigger screen. Mine has the battery indicator issue.

Forgive me for not reading through the thread thoroughly but to my understanding the battery issue where it doesn't give an exact readout isn't exactly an issue, yes?

If the answer is no, has anyone sent in their rdna to get it fixed? Honestly the battery issue is annoying the living guts out of me. Knowing your battery is 100%, then 50%, then 10% is unbecoming of a device this expensive or as reputable as VS.
