Just watched Todd's review for my sins, sorry i think you sent this device to the wrong reviewer as he does not deal with Clone manufacturers at all and he cant handle that Hcigar have actually installed a real Evolv DNA40 into it, he and his many other cronies on ECF have tried to find fault with the chip/device all to no avail. I was going to purchase one but the foopar for me is the smoked screen, This would have had a much better and fuller review if it was sent to someone like Shozza who actually have no problem with clone manufacturers, i felt watching this video. because it was from a "clone" manufacturer that he and his cronies were trying to pick fault with either the device or the company that manufactured it, if i was you i would think about someone else next time if you wanted a full review or a deserving review of a device made by a "clone " manufacturer

The common negative is a red herring, as long as the connections are good and the aluminum (a good conductor) is high quality it's a good solution. I believe that issue is now sorted.
But really is it good enough to put a DNA in a shoe box to satisfy us vapers? I suppose if you only consider the price it is, personally it does nothing for me. The Chinese simply have no vision, imagination or passion. With a little bit of the aforementioned this could have been very desirable and well worth the asking price.

On the other hand, when he said what is wrong with it, Hcigar should've listen more than usual, and they did. Now the screen is as bright as the sun, and the grounding issue is simply a thing of the past. We had 2 of these units allocated for reviews, and both of them have been reviewed (Mark Todd and Tim Clark from Vaping World)

Scooby Personal taste is very subjective really. So far, we had nothing but good feedback coming from customers about this box, in fact, lots of customers came back and bought a second box, as strange as this might be to you. Its not bad looking box, its very comfortable in the hand, and you dont have to re-mortgage your house, or sign to a stupid list to own one. Its a win for the more common vaper that want a DNA40 device, without being arsed around by a greedy modmaker.

Yep take your point vapegeek but at 50mm wide it's still a shoe box. They could and should have done better. I've known for a long time that I'm not as easily satisfied as the "more common vaper" but as you say personal taste is very subjective.
