I asked a reviewer about the flask's size, because I wondered myself. He told me, "For the V2: 3 5/8" standing up right, ~2 3/8" wide 22mm or 7/8" in depth weight 8.5oz with batteries installed."

That's not bad at all :eek: I always thought it was huge

The RDNA 30 with the card was Qi wireless charging. Can't find the specs on the new one coming out. You can probably use any Qi charging base that you would use for other devices.

They also confirm the rDNA40 is QI charging on the Facebook page I quoted above.

Looks like they will be offering an upgrade service. May also help the folks who want the DNA40 but not a larger device because of the wireless. Just found this in the comments on their Facebook page:

"Vapor Shark: Matthew is correct. We will be offering a service to upgrade your rDNA 30 and put the new dna 40 chip in its place. This service will be $99.99 and you will get your DNA 30 chip back. We will announce the release of that service sometime in the next week or so. We appreciate your patience."

I'll probably do this. I love my rDNA, but I am super curious about the new DNA40 features.

In his review, Phil Basardo mentioned the integrated wireless charging was going to add an additional 3mm width to the device. The technology is pretty cool, but I wonder how much it will change the feel of the device in use, because the rDNA 30 fits well in the hand.

It is near the end.

Its around 36:30. 3mm isn't too bad but .3" is more than double.


It did kill it for me. I cancelled my order today and will be waiting to try and get a vapor flask. I know 1.3" doesn't sound super wide, but it's half an inch wider than my MVP 2 and that is just too wide to be comfortable in my pocket on the go. Also, nothing against Vapor Shark, I was very excited for this device, but to me wireless charging is not worth the extra size.

Did you read the features Innokin alluded to for MVP3? Looks like Innokin is coming out with some interesting new offerings before the end of the year with Evolv chips. Might be worth waiting for. I just picked up an Eleaf Istick so the wait is a bit easier.

It might be 22mm but it's curved so it takes more space than the dimensions state. And the price tag is a bit much for a novelty style device (for me at least). The screen being on top is interesting though.

Yeah. Signed up for the availability notice. Also waiting for the DNA Mvp.

I really don't see how it could be 1.3" in depth. It just doesn't add up if you look at the renderings. Especially since the width is 1.67".

EDIT: If I were a betting man, I'd say it's a typo and they meant 1.03" depth. That would account for an additional 3mm thickness to accommodate the wireless charging pad.

Or for a little under $100 more you will have your wireless and another Vaporshark. I remember your experiences, and you already have the charger base.:)

Just bought a new car so I need to watch my spending. (Not used to having a car payment. My other car is a 1995. Heh.) It's really tempting though.

I would agree. 3mm and .3" could easily get mixed up. Either way, I'll like to see some youtubew reviews.

Is the $189 pre-order price the msrp or will it go up?

Why yes I am. If you say a VTC4 is included, well than it should be included. Don't BS dude, I have a battery that for my use, is useless. How about you send me your VTC and I will send you the battery I was sent?

Not mad at all, just stating that VS eff'd up. For a company that has a store every mile in Florida, you would think they would have their S strait. Remember, we are the consumer buying an advertised product. I do not want a shotty battery and they should no the deal...

Yes it's clear they need to learn about customer service... that has been established over the past 10-20 pages... Let's move on from here and stop beating a dead horse... Unless another issue comes up hahaha

Word, but that horse still needs a beating IMO. While I have had no issues, I feel bad for the dudes in here that have had ..... CS. Maybe just a huge "Buyer beware" is needed...

Any thoughts on the " LG 2500mah 35A 18650 Battery" that will come in the DNA40 version?? I just want to know if the device is now only catering to subohm builds or will it be safe for 1.8 builds and such...

That and the Samsung 25R is all I use for my high wattage devices and mechs now. Both are excellent device for me. I get through a full day of use on my REO at 0.6 ohms.

I like both because they hold 3.9 to 3.7 V for a ridiculously long period of time, and doesn't ever get warm.
