Evolve DNA 40 clone temp control - first look :)

The side buttons are for settings if I'm not mistaken (those at the side, in the upper part of the flask).
Holding the flask in left hand those buttons lie under your hand, although I realize they are under your hand when holding in right hand too.
But positioning of the hand may not be the same between firing with thumb or index, hence why I'm wondering about possible accidental click of them for left hand handling.

[Croak]

Works fine in the left hand, the caveat being it's going to be a thumb-fire, or web of thumb fire. In the left hand you just naturally hold it higher in the hand and the up-down buttons are quite a bit to just slightly higher than your hand (thumb fire using fat part of thumb is the higher of the two, and the most natural grip)

In right hand, it's index finger fired, it tends to rest lower in your grip, and the up-down buttons are making contact between the knuckle and base of your index finger (depending on finger length) , but it's very loose contact, the curvature of your fingers and the flask pretty much preclude any inadvertent adjustment, even if you're squeezing quite hard. And the buttons require a fair amount of force to activate.

TL;DR: No worries about inadvertent button presses whilst holding the Vapor Flask. And you can lock them if you so desire, simply by holding down both at once for a few seconds.

Exactly how I just tried it, I'm normally RH, also found that in Left I put my pinky under the base, because of it being higher

Would like to say a massive thanks to robby.... due to his detailed explanation review of this device.

Today,I finally ordered the Vaporflask V3 from Focal.... I nearly ordered the YihiMini (clone) or original , but temp control,
dual batteries swung the deal...

Which NI200 would members recommend?... tempered??

cheers

hi guys ,

thanks to this thread (all 65 pages lol) I think im going to end up getting the vaporflask v3 , however , im not sure where from, the msg from alibaba states DHL delivery.but i am also looking at getting it from 3fvape and with them it would be epacket.
which would be the best option for speed of delivery and possibly avoiding extra charges?

thanks

I ordered a second one from 3fvape, China post and order to delivery in the Hughlands was 7 days exactly, I couldn't believe it ( and no charges)

I'd go with 3FVape. One of the ECF members has the same early version as Robby, it had the weak battery issue/only using one battery. He emailed 3FVape with a video of the problem, they told him they'd ship him a new one at no charge once they had them back in stock first of next week. And to keep his old one. Hard to beat service like that.

Just be sure and AVOID the newest one they have listed, the one that has the stainless 510 with the single air channel, and with the pics of the silver version having a brass firing button. It's the Waidea model and TC doesn't work, and the center pin is fixed, solid, doesn't move. Rubbish.

VAPOR FLASK DNA 40 STYLE UPGRADED VERSION

[neel]

Thanks for sharing about the SS 510 version issues, I was about to ask.
I will stick to the copper/brass version if I order this box (yes antz, the one you linked. Although it seems they are oos everywhere atm, according to Fasttech forum threads about this box).

[Croak]

3FVape is expecting quite a lot of stock from Kangxin first of next week.

Yeah Antz, that's the one.

I've had mine since Monday, quite pleased with it.

Just to Clarify about the newest versions of the Vapor Flasks on 3FVape Models #:2806/2834

As per 3FVape: 2806/2834 share the same chip with 1660/2101 made by Kangxin, you will see different open-screen message though. To be specific, you may see "KX-40D" which is from Kangxin, "DNA40" or nothing, which are from Sunlay. They customized those in chip, which is quite easy.  We tested 2806/2834 Versoin 3 for one week before we ship. Our products experts used those mods very heavily everyday. I also joined the activity to be a heavy vaper.

the center pin however is fixed, solid, doesn't move.  When asked if it could be upgraded to a floating spring loaded pin, the reply was:  We have talked to Kangxin and Sunlay regarding that though. Unfortunately, they don't have plans to move yet.

What kind of batteries would you recommand for this flask ? Is it important to go for high end high current batteries or the fact there is 2 batteries allows to chose lower capable current batteries and favor capacity instead ?

It's a false economy going with 3000-ish mAh batteries usually.  


A 20 amp continuous 2500 mAh Sony VTC5, Samsung 25R or LG HE2/HE4 actually has more usable capacity in a mod.  Those Panasonic and their various re-wraps from Efest, etc, fall off a cliff in performance about mid-charge, so they end up needing to use that extra 500mAh and then some.

ok on 3fvape now instock are rdna and seems nice, anyone order from them?
