At this point, which ever one you can get your hands on, the chip is the chip so really they should all perform the same except for battery life and form factor and that's totally subjective to you.

This.

It's all about what form factor you like best. The vape will be identical in all of them. But good luck getting your hands on one in a timely fashion unless you buy used.

I picked up a Vapor Shark, from the manufacturer, and love it. Took a week from the date of order until it arrived.

It's a smaller device, smaller then a box of tic tacs, in one dimension, and the same size in two other dimensions.

Battery life, as long as you're not vapping sub ohm, lasts nearly all day! Excellent build, spring loaded 510 pin, rechargable from a micro USB... what's not to like?

I really am loving it, with a tayfun tank or a Nautilus tank on top, this thing cranks out the vape, and lasts nearly all day!

Not bad for a buck sixty!

This has to be one of the best deals in vaping right now. They seem to ship fairly regularly, and they a great little MOD. I'd like to get one, but another $160 ain't in the cards right now.

There's also the sx-350 to consider.

I'll just go ahead and say it.

The SX350 makes the DNA30 seem dated at this point. It has multiple features the DNA30 doesn't, and the only semi-valid excuse to not use one will be taken away when they enable wattage up/down buttons in the next update scheduled for mid-June.

It's designed from the ground up to be a 50W chip. Polarity protection. True buck circuitry that can regulate down to 1.5v. .2Ω floor. Upgradeable via USB updates. Variable voltage as well as variable wattage. Bypass Mode making it a mech MOD with all of the protections of a regulated MOD. What most consider a better screen with real-time battery information. And all of these functions perform just as they should.

The DNA30 really isn't all that close. Evolv has some serious work to do if they want to stay competitive. A simple attage upgrade isn't going to do the job.

The only problem is that there are only two commercial models right now that have the SX350 chip: a HUGE 26650 MOD that could bludgeon somebody pretty good, and a super expensive box MOD. You could look around various Facebook groups or eBay right now and buy one made by a modder, but they're going to be expensive too.

Does this HUGE 26650 MOD have a name?
So far I'm not finding it.

Answer to the OP, the one you can get your hands on and that, at this moment for me, is the vaporshark...ordered 6/03 @ 7:03am, arrived Monday, 06/09....been vaping since about 6pm yesterday and I still have half battery life(chain vaping) on 1.5ohm @ approx 10watts. nice device!...regulated, safe, no batteries to keep putting in and out, nice form factor, spring loaded 510 connector and it's a dna 30.

Good luck in your search and vape on!

PS I don't do subohms.
