So your saying it doesn't matter what charger you use because the device itself will regulate what it draws? Ive always heard (mainly regarding phones) that you have to use a specific charger (correct voltage, mAh & amp) for your device or it can ruin the battery or the device. My sister has a iPhone that she charges with a usb cable that plugs into a wall adapter, can I use that usb wall adapter to safely charge my rDNA?

My information on this is based on things I have read, but to the best of my understanding. Yes, you can use an iphone charger, or even an ipad charger. I have iPhones and iPads myself.

Happy Labor Day to you as well. I have enjoyed our discussions.

Today marks two weeks since I ordered. It was with their expected ship date. This wasn't a "pre-order sale."
I am very happy that for some of people on this thread things have worked out at this point. Your instant satisfaction,impatient,and shinyitis comments are highly offensive. For those that still have not received what they paid for I doubt they would feel as you do.
In all likelihood when it shows up tomorrow it will be the wrong color. At which point I have to decide whether to just deal with it rather than stay in a prolonged run around, or have even more headaches. There was a Friday that all calls went to voicemail during business hours. I did leave a voicemail and never received a return call. In fact right after that they posted the video of their new vaporshark boat in lieu of an apology to all the customers. They know a lot of customers were screwed around with multiple quoted shipping times. This was while not returning customer calls or emails, and leaving paying customers in limbo on when they might even expect to get their device.

Whoa!!! My comments were based on my experiences "Not YOURS". I know you have been waiting and having a bad experience, that is no excuse for being rude to others talking about their experience, or peoples experiences in general while ordering waiting and then the new wearing off of any purchase. I know your upset but my post was not aimed at you or anyone else, so get a grip here.
 
It is fast enough to see but does it not look a bit jagged when the screen is changing values? I just want to know if I have a faulty chip or not. Cause my Cana looks smooth as hell when scrolling through wattage etc on the VS it looks almost like it's intermittent.

Mine is the same way, didn't even notice it until you mentioned it, were talking milliseconds here, doesn't bother me in the slightest.

It's just an incredibly low refresh rate. Well with a screen that small you're going to be VERY hard pressed to approach anything near 60 hz.

Your last comments started with have a wonderful Labor Day before minimizing the misfortunes of others.
You stated,"We seem to want that instant gratification and the wait is just almost unbearable." That is not an "I" statement.
This time you use the inflammatory statements that I am rude and get a grip to once again add a spin that wasn't in my statements.
It is better that we agree to disagree.

Just saw your edit. Glad it worked out.:)

Thanks. But, not to belabor this -- it only worked out with an adapter! I still can't get it to register without an adapter and even though I am not in any of this for show, I sho' can't use a 510 adapter with my Origen! LOL. Oh well, on the mech it goes. I think that even though the Origen is technically adjustable, because of wear the hole is for the wire, if you adjust it down too much, you won't be able to use it effectively (I tried). I will try a few more tweaks, but it matters not considering I got options -- plus, I am nearing the end of my relationship with the Origen. Too many attys to try and not enough mouths.

It does seem occasionally a mod doesn't want to play well with a particular topper. I hear you tube reviewers saying this about different combos. Sorry your fix was with an adaptor. At least you figured out it was a 510 issue. Glad you have lots of other options to enjoy.:)

It's cool. Sometimes I just wish all the ecig manufacturers in the world would sit down with each other and make compatibility the ULTIMATE goal! Well, I can dream, can't I? But then again, many of these companies have more rudimentary issues with their own business to iron out first.

You read my mind. Things seem reasonably standardized, but there are always a few that are a little off.

I think I might give up on the wireless charging. :( I had loved it this past week. Now today I can't place it so that it maintains its connection. So very frustrating. I'd place it on the charger, it would chirp, the red charging light would come on, then it would chirp seconds later after losing the connection. I couldn't get it to stay charging. So, I took the charging card off so I could USB charge it. It charged fine so it's not a problem with the port. I don't have other Qi devices so can't test the charger itself. I don't need the stress today so I'll play with it more tomorrow.

Okay, not my picture, but here is an example of the Vapor Shark DNA gunmetal next to the black. That illustrates how different the gunmetal is from black better than I can. I think it's a beautiful color. Oh, and Robert Ellis' recent Vapor Shark video show how it looks pretty well. It's metallic so "shifts" in the light a bit. Around 4 minutes it looks lighter because it's in direct light, and around 15:30 it looks darker in color. That's really the best way to demonstrate it as I can't seem to get pictures that demonstrate it as well.

Sorry to hear you are going through that.
I had accepted the fact that wireless charging was a bit iffy on this one, but still super cool to swap the battery out whenever you need to.
I am sure the next version with the wireless charging built in will be great.

If it is gunmetal and I send it back to wait for black. I might be able to beat you on the wait. :) Lol on the no fighting.

Haha. I'm waiting on a black so we might be on the same wait if you receive a gun metal and send it back. I would just keep whatever you get as long as it works. Lmao.

Yeah, I'm not super upset about it. I was going to buy the rDNA before the shark week sale so the savings paid for most of the wireless cost. I knew going in that it might be flakey.

I agree. Life is too short to focus on something like that. Better for me to drop it and be at peace. I think I am better off keeping it if it works, and Lexic saying it was the color of a shark helps.:)

And if you get the shark skin only that bit at the top shows anyway.

As long as you and crazy d have been waiting it's insane however I personally if I were in your shoes wouldn't give two cents about what color they send since it's been so long however I hope you guys get what you ordered. If you would have to send it back who knows how long it will ever take to get the darn thing back.

I won't get mine for at least another 2 weeks so it better be the Black one I ordered!
