Latest Evolve DNA40 board? removable screen cable :)

[robby]

Looks like a good advance for DNA40 modders If already posted, this makes 2

Been out a while, but strikes me as a good decent price?

First time I`ve seen them Ripshod, so much easier to fit the display

[Ripshod]

I like it too, simply because if you break the display it's simpler to swap one than having to solder it. Same applies if you need to strip a mod, the display can stay in place

[robby]

Even getting the display in perfect position without worrying about the board is a plus for sure

I wish they had used the connector for the small screen and produced an extension lead for even more flexibility on fitting, but haven't seen any as yet. They are still a lot more flexible than fixed screen boards.

If it's like the last one I find you still need to power the screen to align it well as the area that has the display is not clearly marked on the small screen.

Cheaper than the YiHi boards, not to mention better in almost every aspect especially for DIYer.

You don't need to convince me VapingBad, I'm already gathering bits. I've bookmarked a kit already on stealthvape. This one

Just pointing out they are US made and still cheaper than the China made competition, probably because they keep reinvesting in the production facility and will soon be going to even smaller surface mount tech.  The YiHis are good but very over priced by the time they get to the UK.

more power should cost more? not 100% positive just my thinking behind like a raptor chip that does 100w will be more expensive then a dna and yihi chip?

Plus while ordering and fitting it, you can go 'yee hee! Loudly.

Only a little more, not much

IIRC Raptors one of the cheapest to get the power.

Had to use a bit of blue tac to caress the ribbon in deep enough to clip down and hold on mine, ribbon wanted to bend first, yes much easier if you damage the screen or ribbon for replacement. I think they should do one universal board now and the choice of screen size, why still the fixed small screen?

People still break the fixed screens, not as much, but it's a £60 hit rather than £10.
