Largo! Thanks for the information. Want to make sure everything is as safe as I can make it within my power.
I would like to try 1 of the Panasonic 3400 batteries. Anyone have a link for them at a good price?
From the Evolv DNA30 datasheet @ http://www.evolvapor.com/datasheet/dna30.pdf :
"A single cell rechargeable lithium chemistry battery is recommended. Either a lithium ion or a
lithium polymer type can be used. Any battery used should be rated for a MINIMUM of 12 amps
continuous discharge current. High C rated lithium polymer or IMR cylindrical cells are strongly
preferred. Make sure that all contacts and connections are capable of handling at least 12 amps."
Not familiar with rDNA's behaviour with underpowered batteries, but the Panasonic NCR18650B (3400mAh) at 6.8 amp is not an IMR battery and is very underpowered for this chipset. I'd advise caution. This sounds like a mistake on VaporShark's website.

Price isn't as important as getting an authentic battery. Illumn has them and I think rtd has them

RTD was out or I would have put the link. Big RTD vapor fan here for batteries.
Ditto the not worried about price. Just that they are authentic.
Love RTD
One of the great small vendors out there! Always authentic and great CS!!
I would hope it's another VS mistake
6.8A is ok if you're running a 1.8 ohm build at 12watts but run .6 ohm at 28watts and you've got issues. Best case scenario is the chip shuts down, worse case?? 
Love RTD
What is RTD?
Cool, thanks. So the conclusion is that these batteries are only safe at high resistance?
I was throwing out some general numbers to make a point. It's a combination of resistance, watts and the amp draw on the battery. I only run Aw and Sony batteries. Not to say there are not other good batteries out there. The vtc5 has an amp draw of 30. The Panasonic you're talking about is 6.8. Obviously won't support a sub ohm, higher wattage application
They're safe if you keep them under their amp rating.

Those of you that have gotten a rDNA lately, how long did it take for vs to ship it? I have read people talking about the next day and some talking about a few weeks.
If I had to do this all over again I would not buy a vaporshark. Just my opinion.

I was quite happy with my purchase from web to my door almost exactly 10 days

I'm tempted to take the DNA 30 board out of this rDNA and build my regulated bottom feeder. It's just not quite enough power for that, though.

Haha. Not worth the effort
Is yours going to be a side squonker? Would love to see a commercially available regulated bf with an evolve 50 watt chip! Might as well dream big
Haha. Not worth the effort
I think it will be. I'm still in the planning phase and waiting on the next DNA board to build it around. I can't do much without that.
