Wanting a Darwin... should I wait or purchase a Silver Bullet? Omega? or Eclipse?

[visitlynn]

I'd love to purchase the Darwin from Drew at Nhaler but it's out of stock. Until I can get my hands on a Darwin, does anyone have input on a SB vs Omega? Favorite color? The Silver Bullet seems to be the classic mod and the Omega has great reviews too. I've done a lot of research, watched youtube videos, listened to pod casts and I still can't decide which one to get...

Does anyone know when the Eclipse will be available?

If you can afford the Darwin, I suggest you hold out for it or check over at Evolv (if that's correct, I think it is) to see if they have any in stock.

I would definitely suggest a VV mod, though. If you are not into the box mods, I'd recommend the Buzz from notcigs.com or the provari (from provape) if you know Morse code. (I'm kidding, but I can only imagine how annoying all that button pressing must be. )

Never had a VV but I have vaped @5v & 6v. I found my sweet spot @ 3.7v with a LR 1.5Ω atty and BB juice. No candy, fruit or desert juice. I'd rather eat them than vape them.

Nhaler had Darwins in stock only hrs ago. They don't sell directly through the evolv site. I would email drew at nhaler and ask when he anticipates another batch, usually isn't more than a week or so. If you can hold out that long, its worth it!!

Dam you just missed the Darwin about 6 or 7 hours ago 8(. If you want send them an e-mail saying so to be put on a waiting list. That's what I did and and was able to get one just cant wait till mon or tue till it comes, they sold out in 1 day. I had to pull over on the road in my car to order it on my phone lol.

I am so glad I posted ~ I'll wait for the Darwin. Thanks for your advice everyone!!

You should check out a provari at provape i have 2 thats how great they are best solid vv mod out there imo these are solid and easy to use.If you order one they don't bill you till it ships if it says 2 weeks out you will probably have one in your hands in a week or less.I got my 2nd one 2 weeks ago in less then a week.

Right now, I have my doubts about both the Darwin and the Provari. This is not from experience so, if you know different, please correct me but, my understanding is that neither of them anticipated the development of things like dual coil attys and cartos. I've seen a few posts from people that are saying they don't work well with them.

Changes come very quickly in this industry and now that the FDA is unlikely to proceed with it's attempt to ban I would expect that to accelerate. I would hate to spend the money for something like that and find it didn't work well with what later becomes standard equipment. It's part of the reason I've held off on buying a high dollar mod.

Well that goes for anything you get, sooner or later technology moves on and they make better things. I figure I could wait and wait but oh well might as well contribute to the economy and get things moving 8).

At one point I owned a Black ProVari.. It works great but IMO the battery life was really bad and pressing the button 5 times just to be getting to the voltage menu was annoying.

I then got a Darwin, fell in love, sold the ProVari, and that's that.

For dual coils I use a cheap but amazing VV box mod (Shan Mods @ VAPECORE.com

While my understanding of dual coil attys is very limited, I see the LR attys/HV attys and the dual coil etc. are made because most people are using a 3.7V (the HV being for people running at 5V or 6V) The beauty of a VV device is that you don't need any special resistance as you already have the ability to vary your voltage to hit your sweet spot.

Yes, I do think that development will definitely ramp up, but I see development at the moment occurring in a very linear fashion aimed at users of fixed voltage devices. I believe that as the vaping community switches to variable voltage devices you will see the most significant advances in technology.

Of course my understanding of all of this is very limited. and I am not an electrical engineer nor a fortune teller, I cannot know what the future does hold. In the mean time, I much prefer having the ability to dial in the voltage to my preferred taste.

lol. I've been using a Riva (w/cisco attys) while researching mods for the past year or so ('cause I keep waiting for new technology). First I thought 'I should wait for the Darwin reviews'. Now I'm thinking '...no I'll wait just a little bit longer for the eclipse'. Then I think 'crap - I should just get the beloved SB! But the omega has cool reviews!...' I can't tell you how many times my finder has hovered over 'hit enter to confirm your order' ~ and I still haven't placed an order.

If you can afford the Darwin, I would get one! Provari, while a good mod, is not as portable, has a menu you have to tap through that would drive me nuts. If I never had a Darwin, I would probably love a provari. But after using both, the Darwin is simply easier to use, more comfortable to hold and the battery life us amazing! No more carrying extra batteries, feeling the difference between the first vape on a freshly charged battery, and feeling the difference as the battery discharges. With the Darwin, the first vape is identical to the last until the battery is completely dead, about 1 1/2- 2 days. You'll love it!

If you keep waiting for the latest and greatest, you'll waste a lot of time with substandard pv's while you could have the best, until you find a new best.

The wait will be well worth it for the Darwin!! Drew usually gets a shipment about every 10-14 days. You may want to email him and inquiry when they will be available again.

 

[speedemon]

Oh ya pushing the button a few times and watching screen is pretty hard.If we could just make it change by mind transfer and not have to move are finger it would be worth allot more.I don't get ware as pushing a simple button has became such a hard task. Oh ya i use dual coil cartos with great success and batteries last longer then most pv's will.No you can't do them at 5v on it but why would you want to.

 

[Krisb]

Wow, not sure why you're so grumpy, but we are all entitled to our opinions. Why navigate through a menu when I can get a mod for the same price that I can adjust simply by moving my thumb, as I'm vaping?

If you feel the need to be nasty, fine, but seems a bit silly.

Not really being grumpy stating my op. as others are doing with one exception i'm not cutting down other mods.Just giving facts.

 

[Credo]

Darwin runs the 2 Ohm Dual Coils just fine from 3.7v to 5v here.

Umm yeah, I've seen several posts from alldayvape and I'm pretty sure he's a real darwin fan but, even he says...

I wasn't trying to knock the Darwin or the Provari for that matter. I was questioning the wisdom of spending that kind of money for that kind of technology in this environment. For VV right now, I think a voltmeter and a volume knob is about as far as you should go. That's an opinion not a pronouncement.

Anyone have the schematics on the darwin? i would love to know what makes one tic hehe
