Hi rob any news on the dna 60? Just October, we generally don't know ourselves until the last minute. That's just how they roll  |

All about the DNA250 train www.stealthvape.co.uk/evolv/EVOLV-DNA250 Same footprint as the DNA200 with some minor component and layout changes. Any device that has a stock DNA200 should be an easy swap 250w and a 2a charge are the most significant features If a fault appears at any point we offer a warranty in line with your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and warranty the board for 6 months from the date of purchase. No sending it off to Evolv in the US. |

Ah ok, understood. These must be the QC issues that Brandon mentioned a while back. It's a shame they didn't do a production run but perhaps that's planned for the future I think they did a few runs, I have seen 2 or 3 version, but they've never been particularly interested in making hw and just developed these in reaction to problems the DNA 40s exposed with other 510s. I can't see them going retail now with the FDA regs, although they have been in sale so they could for a while, but they are very extensive with that hex shape machining and I think you did the right thing for most customers skipping that. Look forward to giving the Scope a try, a friend on another forum wondered how the spring will perform, but I think coil springs are OK if they are the selected properly the just take up a little more room so am confident they will be fine plus @windows positive opinion above. BTW a good soldering tip that should apply to these ads well as the Evolv is to hole punch the base of a silicone carto condom to mask the body of the pin while soldering in case of overflow from expanding trapped air. You really do need to keep the outside clean or the will jam in the insulator. PM your details or email through the site and I'll just send you one |

Already used one of these in my personal dinky 75. As far as im concerned they are a top bit of kit and better than the Evolv as their hex design can make the pin jamb. Dont waste your money on the Evolv, get one of these instead.   Thanks Ade, I didn't realise the hex shaped caused issues, we just dropped that to cut costs |

Here's the datasheet for the retaining rings, 100% internal www.ochiai-if.co.jp/english/products/pdf/001/001003001003.pdfI've got a plan for a 510 tool, I just need to get a huge VAT bill out of the way first but you're right, one is needed. I always tap the 510 where I can too. Thin wall spark plug sockets are perfect for tightening the nut up if the enclosure is long enough, just remove the bearing from the inside of the socket link just goes to a blank page That's odd, the links good. Try right clicking and save as it's a pdf |

Looks great and I will be definitely trying these as the Evolv are just so good. Let me know what you think |

 The lovely people at Evolv gave us permission to base our 510 design on their reference 510 connector. At first glance it could be the same connector but there are the following differences. - They accept a slightly different range of 510 lengths up to 5.2mm.
- Gone are the hex shaped parts to make production cheaper.
- Our insulator and washer are made from PTFE
- 510 body is made from 303 stainless steel
- Toothed locking solder lug made from brass
- M12x1, 14mm wrench, 3mm thick brass nut
- Japanese inverted internal retaining ring (It looks like we've used an external retaining ring but we haven't, honest) This is to get more clearance from the centre pin.
- Simplified top face for a smooth clean appearance.
- Conical spring made from music wire to provide 10N+ at full compression. Again a cheaper option.
We started this project last November so it's great to finally release them. We've gone through multiple sample runs and spring revisions. It's surprising how complex springs are seeing as they look like the most straight forward part at first glance. Here's some pics      Available at stealthvape.co.uk and modparts.co.uk |

The official word is
"we have no additional information at this time, as soon as spec sheets and pricing are available you will be in touch"
Place holders are on on Stealthvape and Modparts so emails can go out the moment they're available.
Based on how quickly 40's and 200's came out after they were mentioned it won't be too long

Really glad to see the Varitube back  , I won't use FD 510 I don't like the design, but I have read so many negative posts about quality problems I just wouldn't touch them. Thanks, yeah it's a bit of a balancing act sourcing new products and keeping the old ones in stock. Hopefully any gaps in supply shouldn't be as big now. We got sent some black V1's by accident which are quite nice |

I've heard of NiFe and Nickel blackening with dry burning but it's the first we've heard of it with normal use. I like Nichrome. It's a complete joy to respool too P11 will be the next wire. Higher Fe content and more than double the resistivity. The plan being to suggest NiFe30 for single and P11 for dual coil but we'll see there's a suitable P11 size to use for single too |

Ah thanks, yeah I'm told the low TCR of stainless steel wires means it's only accurate to the nearest 30 degrees. Any static resistance will mess with it too. I was hesitant to stock it to be honest but I'm glad I did as it's been well received and we sell enough. Looking towards a new TC wire at the moment but the minimum order is putting me off. I'm trying to arrange samples just to be sure The low TCR is the biggest issue, but it's also the mass of the coils with ss IMO. The resistance changes more quickly than the average heat, so while the board is changing the electrical power the heat is spreading along the wire. If you set up your device with max preheat and a power level that just maintains the temp just below the limit you can get a very smooth vape even from triple twisted dual coils.  ETA that is with StealthVape 316L and the TCR is pretty good, I tried a sample another vaper gave me from the crazy people and the TCR was way off. Ah that's interesting. I hadn't really ever thought about coil mass causing issues |

I'm always interested in something new though so I'll be waiting  What was it you didn't get on with? I know it's not the best wire for dual coil builds |
