VaporShark rDNA

[Shigura]

So after letting my rDNA40 sit unused and fully charged for 24 hrs. I'm happy to report my problem was indeed fixed, so no nasty battery drain like it did before. Sweet now I can completely enjoy this to the fullest.

So my faithful rDNA30 finally stopped working yesterday. Fire button stuck on. The button feels like its still clicking but the blue ring stays lit and its trying to continuously fire. Hoping its something easy to fix so decided to ship it back to VS to try out their Diagnostic service.

I was a bit upset at first - I also have 2 rDNA40s, and don't want their buttons crapping out in another few months. But then again I have been using this one daily since September, and one of the reasons I like Sharks is because of the availability of repair services, so we'll see what they make of it.

So my rDNA30 with fire button "stuck" is back from VS. They replaced the piggyback board and all is well. $25 for their Diagnostic service which included the part and return shipping, plus my initial shipping. They had it in house 2 business days, the rest was USPS travel time from/to California. I'm impressed. And happy to get my device back, it's the Gunmetal one, still my favorite finish.

Vapor Shark Vapor Flask

So is it made by Vaporflask in conjunction with VS? I am confused

Vaporflask made by Vaporshark, had it switched around

 

[Shigura]

Speak of the devil! Looks like its finally available. $189.99, hence VS's price cut of the DNA40 and rDNA40 (well part of it at least).

 

[WVDENALI]

Not sure about the coating. I love the anodized finish on my vaporflask

 

[Spirometry]

So, you have a VaporShark with thousands of complaints on the finish. And nothing but praise on the finish on the VaporFlask.

So what do they do?......

 

[WVDENALI]

Yeah my rdna 40 is all chipped up. Looks bad. My vaporflask is solid as a rock though. I don't use the rdna much anymore.

 

[Shigura]

Eh, didn't know there was a complaint on the rubberized coating but I can understand the painted coat everywhere else. Not really surprising giving the fact that VF allowed them to make the flask itself and they added their touch to it. But at the same time $189 is the cheapest any VF has ever been with a DNA40 chip to say the least.

 

[Shigura]

Oye I'm a dunce that is the coat... I was thinking of the gripping material on the side... sheesh

My next rDNA

 

[NOVA jon]

Interesting Q! But can you go into anymore detail yet??

 

[VapieDan]

Just out of curiosity does anyone have experience with the hcigar HB with the same Evolv 40w chip as the Vaporshark?

There's a thread for it.

For the price, I'd rather get a rDNA40 for a few bucks more or the DNA40 if you don't mind not being able to swap batteries for about the same cost.

I was thinking the same thing. It seems to be larger than the Vaporshark as well.

Yep quite a bit actually. Its a decent mod thats fot sure but with these price cuts it would be more of a benefit to get a VS. Warranty is better, they are stateside yadda yadda. I do own both and spend more time on the rDNA. Besides this I've accidentally dropped my HB twice now and its built like a tank with a few nicks in the metal.

 

[VapieDan]

I like my Rdna40 just curious. Now that the price has dropped I think I would go Vaporshark.

 

[d.g.]

I have been using rDNA40 since day 1, and it was my only APV.

However as of 30 minutes ago I have a problem. When I click the fire button and release it, the rDNA doesn't stop firing and continious nonstop. I checked the interior to see if the button was stuck but it wasn't. I am clueless. I am back to my Provari 2.5 after a year. Any ideas?

Happened with my rDNA30 recently. I sent it back to VS, they replaced the piggyback pcb. $25 through their Diagnostic service.
