I see a few people have put their Russians on. I have one also, just be careful, the fill screw "may" scratch the top of the rdna a little while you screw it on and off.
yep. the top of my rDNA is scratched from my R91

that would be a upgrade suggestion to VS, from me. have a SS corner around the 510 connector. like a in laid piece, unpainted, would avoid the scratching. although in the end, it means little.. the scratches are covered by whatever atty I have on the rDNA

The only quirk I have noticed is on wake up sometimes I will get a few check atomizer messages before it will finally register and start firing. Hasn't been a big deal though. Still happy with it,and it is my primary device. I am sure I will buy the new version when it comes out. I will be selling my Provari in the next week or two.

Good to hear that you are enjoying your RDNA.

Pleased to read that you got your VS . . . Enjoy.

I'm keeping both of my Minis. Those will be my hunting companions.

It is tempting to try a nautilus mini with the BVC coils on it. It could be my fishing set up. Just not sure if I want to go back to buying premade replacement coils.

Honestly, I really loved my Provari mini with the upgraded blue LED when I started vaping with carto tanks and clearos. My issue is the error messages it likes to throw all the time with my Kayfun and Erlkonigin tanks and they are built around 1.3 ohm. So, it isn't the low cut off. I need to trust that I can vape when I am out with it. Even my cloupor clone fires without all the error messages.

It seems Vaporshark needs to improve their quality control and durability a little. Even so with the 30 watts and the evolv chip it is for me the better device right now. Much less error messages. Supposedly,the new provari has handled the error issues with a new system. They definitely have set the bar for quality control and durability.

Hope my ramblings made sense.

I love my Nautilus with the BVC Coils. The coils are lasting about 2 to 3 weeks between replacement.

Weird. None of my ProVari's give errors with my 1.3 kayfun builds. I have broken the buttons multiple times and one had to be repaired because of a non-stop e8 error. But none have had an issue with my builds hovering just above 1 ohm.

Originally,I bought a mech mod to dry fire my coils close to the cutoff. So,I could use my provari. Then the Cloupor clone for more watts on RDAs. I don't know why I get the error messages. It will work great on the Provari for a while hanging out in my yard and then randomly give me an error message after a while. Guess I can always revisit it again. Not saying others are having my experience. I did notice Provari is changing their error message set up on the new version.

I want to try one especially with all the hype around them. It would be nice for when I go somewhere and don't want to bring rebuild stuff along.

They are pretty nice, and they seem to last forever as iDonn0 said.
It just bugs me too after rebuilding for so long now - it's not the money, but I look at the cost of a pack of them and think of the yards of wire and piles of wick it could have bought.

I'm buying another pack though because they are handy and whoa the vapor... lol

The beyond vape silo tank looks tempting for a little more airflow. I am sure I will try some BVC iteration in the near future.

XBarbarian, How is that A-Mod ZNA clone doing? Your thoughts.
I LOVE it. Not as much as my rDNA.. but it is very good. no issues what so ever. main problem is its a 18500, and doesn't have a charge port. I could put a 18650 tube on it, but that would kind of ruin the look I think. so, I just have to switch batteries late in the day. not a huge deal. but it works great.

its not authentic evolve, its clone. you know that, just re stating for the record. so, its a little less than we'll say.. but I'm very happy with the purchase. and I would buy it again, just Like I would buy another VS rDNA, should I decide I need one. if I only needed one more.. I d get another VS though. its just so robust, well built, solid. completely predictable and reliable. Not that the A Mod isnt.. but.. well.. its a clone. I dont expect it to be the same.

I love my Kayfuns ... but I always have a Nautilus Mini / BVC with juice in it, usually my best/favorite juice because you just can't go wrong with it. It always works, it's always tasty... love my Kayfuns for flavor and capacity, but they are definitely a lot more work. I keep the Kayfuns mostly for psychological reasons, I think I'm saving money by building my own coils and wicks. I think I am... but I've also seen a rebuilding video on youtube for the BVC, so may actually start doing that... if that were to happen, and I can get a couple of good BVC builds, Nautilus tanks may start to trump the Kayfuns ...

Thinking about trying one out. Just like the looks of it.
