Evolve DNA 40 clone temp control - first look :)

I would agree, it performs as good as any 40w device on Kanthal.

Thanks guys! car147, I know you think this VF clone is as good as your VS but do you own an authentic VF? How does the finish compare?

I don't own a genuine Vapour flask, all I would say is it was good enough for me to buy 3 in total

Totally different finish.  The real VF has a brushed finish, even the coloured versions show the "grain" of the metal.  The Kangxin is more of a smooth anodised finish, like you'd find on many other anodised mods.

Thats good to know Croak, I like the smooth finish more

How long's the battery life? Does vaping at 25 watts give 2 days easily?

I would say that depends on the quality of battery, I am using 25r's and usually take them out for charge near the end of the second day. Mine are usually 3.5v when they are stuck on the charger.

That all depends on you mate.  Myself, I go through a single 18650 in about 3 hours on my regulated mods, and get about 5-6 hours out of a dual parallel 18650 mod, and I don't expect much more than that out of the VF running Kanthal.   But that's just my low ohm, lung hitting chain vaping 10ml+ per day habit, your mileage may vary.

As a bit of a bonus, with TC active, you'll tend to get a bit better battery life just because it's modulating power down quite often.

If you shake it with both batteries in is there even a little bit of rattle or movement ralliant

[robby]

Have you tried different batteries ?

[ralliant]

Yep, the same it only use one battery, sended 3fvape the video; haven't heard anything yet after the asked for a video of the problem.

[-V-]

If you look up the tubes at the top you will see a screw, just check that's present at the top of both tubes but to be honest i think it might not have been wired up correctly that's why it's using just one battery...

[Croak]

Same problem can crop up on the authentic VF, and some other real DNA40 devices. It's usually a battery grounding issue. Make sure there's no anodizing around the battery threads, and screw those caps in tighter, finger tight may not be enough for a solid connection. If that doesn't clear it up, make sure the battery leads at the top, under the display/510 cover, are seated well and also not threaded through anodized metal.

The more of this sort of stuff I see, the more I'm convinced this is close to being a 1:1 clone of an Evolv board and not reverse-engineered. That's a good thing and a bad thing.

Also, anyone can use a single battery with a Vapor Flask, authentic or clone, since they're parallel, that's a feature, not a bug.

Croak, tried it all, still only 1 battery used, to little vapetime wish istick 50watt had tc it just work's well ????
