Hi peeps I'm looking for a good box mod (no clones thanks). Now, santa says he'll bring me a vapourshark rdna 40, (YES HE DID, santa is a vapour and knows his stuff), and from what I've read, I'm sure they are the mutz nutz. But, if i dont have to spend 150 notes on one, then I'll consider what's on offer. Like everything else, there is alot of box mods on the market, from super duper shiny to a million/zillion v/w. Not looking for big/small/shiny, or the latest mod, just something of good quality that will last. If i can be given opinions to a paticular box mod then (good ). That many out there at the moment. I'm all ears folks, what you got?/offers Just to add, and after reading quite afew peoples opinions regarding some faulty evolv DNA 40 chips, this is now putting me off getting the vaporshark rdna. Obviously, not (all) will be faulty, but reading about so many that are, I'm having second thoughts. I was even considering ordering one direct from Vaporshark, using the CYBERMONDAY 20% off everything offer..... But still, the shipping to the UK is still (UPS Worldwide Express $54.51) and totals out at $244.5 minus 20% thats around £125 Obviously ordering direct, means any possible faults will have to be returned direct, against £149 from a UK B and M, and at the moment, nobody has any stock. Mmmmm!!! thinkingsmileyI think I'll sit on this one.

kellywelly Hmmm...don't know about vaporshark But I am the original mod destroyer and my VTR has lasted 6.5 months. They vary between £40-50 upwards. IMHO you also need an air flow controller (vape escape) to protect the threads and a wrap from Silly Nilly on etsy ( www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SillyNilly?section_id=16275635&ref=shopsection_leftnav_7). I've yet to receive mine (lovely postie LOL) but have had good communication with Leigh who does the shop. So all in all you're looking at £80-100 for a VTR including the bits and bobs (excluding batteries. Some fit, some don't. Others can advise)

Thanks for the replies I'm undecided at the moment, I do want/will get a box mod, but not sure what. I'm not going to buy a clone, or any other box mod just for the sake of having one. I did have my mind set on a Vaporshark rdna40, but, and am sure some will say (get one), I think they are over priced, and have (had) alot of problems with the Evolv chip, maybe the problem is sorted, but I'm not forking out 150 notes for summat that maybe faulty and may need returning. I dont need a massive amount of watts in a box mod, just something that is well put together and will last. I see they are now cloning the (Vicious Ant Variant Ti Slim 250W Box Mod Clone) for less than £150, looks good, but it maybe wired up like a tin of spaghetti and only last 6 months. I dont intend to spend more than £150, but, like everything else, I want my monies worth. Again, thanks for your replies, and I'll keep looking.

I understand the initial faults with the chips are now resolved. I believe Vapeescape are due to restock VS rDNA40's relatively soon. I'm sure VE Jason can advise due date.

We are told 7-10 days for new stock of the rDNA40.
I have got a few rDNA30's in stock (not on the website though) which are £125 a piece.

I have to LOL It was only today I phoned and spoke to Vapeescape regarding their next incoming shipment of the rdna40. I was told that Jason was out so could'nt confirm, but, to call back next monday for an update. I understand that it is difficult for vendors to give dates for incoming shipments, more so when the supplier/supplying company drags their feet and lets the vendors down. I'm sure the Evolv chip has been sorted of teething problems. I would have settled for the dna30, but, would rather change the battery myself rather than send it off for a replacement fitted. I'll call VE again next monday for an update on the 40, I've driven from Leeds to VE before now for my needs, I'm sure I can to buy/collect a 40 Regards Kellywelly

The rDNA30 does have an 18650 in it Kelly (not the DNA30), but I'll update in the vendors forum as soon as we have a confirmed date for the 40's.

After much thought, I think I would be happy with the rDNA30. I know it's not the latest one, but thats not a problem for me, I doubt I'd use 40w anyway, and am sure 30w would be ample. I'll call the shop in the morning, and if one is in stock, I'll drive over and get one, it will get me out of crimbo shopping in Leeds Oh, and I'll need a couple of shark skins, oh! and a couple of new batteries, Ooh Ooh!! what else??? LOL

So, after much deliberation regarding the Evolv rdna40 chip, and the teething problems that still need ironing out with it, (and am sure folk have rdna40's with no problem), I decided to go for the Vaporshark rdna30 30W is more than enough for me. Took a drive over to Vapeescape to pick one up (in black) with a black shark skin. Not fired it up yet, still to fully charge the battery. Looks like santa has come early.
