I got it in yesterday and looked at it very closely and couldnt find a single scratch or blem anywhere on it. Im glad I ordered it instead of the full price unit, I used the money I saved and ordered a dna 30 for the wife after both of her isticks gave up the ghost last week.

I just got through trying my first build using 28ga Nickel on a Kayfun V4, it came out to .13 and is vaping absolutely perfect at 430F and 25 watts. I truly believe TC is a game changer for vaping, I cant wait to see how the industry improves on it. I definitely plan on getting more APVs with TC.

Congrats! I got my VS DNA40 on Monday and love it. I've had my rDNA40 since Nov and it was my first TP device. I now have 5 DNA40 devices (3 I built myself). I put up both DNA30's for sale in the classifieds and one sold within minutes. I think they're an amazing deal for $70. MUCH better than the iStick (I have one of those too).

Here's my modest VS collection
(rDNA40, DNA30, DNA40)

Nice out and about case for a rDNA40 with atty attached.
Cell Phone Holder

Has a belt loop, belt clip and d ring.
Vapes fine in the case

I just carry it in my pocket with a sharkskin and it's been working for me. One of the reasons I got the DNA40 was because it's smaller than the rDNA40. It's not that much smaller but it does make a difference when carrying in your pocket.

    Somehow I missed your question and I apologize, it was 5 days after I placed the order but it was also delayed in Nashville for some reason. Im very happy with it but still havent gotten use to the taste I seem to be getting from Nickel.

    No worries. Does your scratch and dent have any screen issues? Battery meter issues? Any other board quirks? The Scratch and Dent large screens were short lived on their site.

    It hasnt had any screen issues or quirks but I have noticed the battery meter reading off sometimes until I hit the fire button then it reads correctly,it seems to only do it after being unlocked.
    DNAs do that nothing to be worried about, shows up on my hb dna40 and my rDNA as well. Everytime you press the fire button screen updates itself for a live read.

    Looks like the large screen DNA40 is up for $109 right now but I steered away from those due to the "No Warranty". I managed to snag a Scratch & Dent rDNA a little while back and loving it, hopefully when I bought it said nothing about "No warranty" like they have posted for the non-removable dna40 types. It's working great and some of the black skin was tore off up top is the only thing I've noticed about it.

    I contacted them about the last batch of rdna40 they had in stock and they said 120 day warranty with all new internals.

    That's great to hear! I wasn't entirely worried about with the fact that no where on my order did it say it didn't have a warranty. I've had a lot of good luck with electronic refurbished devices, so when I see it I usually jump for it lol.

    Can someone with the bigger screen model verify if the screen actually switches to left hand in the settings, as I just got a big screen Hana and it will not flip the screen no matter if it is on normal or right.
    All my big screen DNA40's can be put in left or right mode.

    With fire button locked (5 clicks)
    You need to press and hold the fire button and up button for 5-10 seconds.
