How many months has it been now??

Another thing to frustrate me as I have one in the post. I hope that doesnt need to go back like my Vapor Flask.

 

It's a bummer if you want temp control.

The added features and 10w is worth the extra money for the chip alone. For me, if temp control works then great, if it doesn't, nevermind.

 

Love temp mode. Both of my rDNA40 devices working great and without a single glitch been using daily since mid-December...here I go again: Knock on wood.

Haven't noticed any extra heating of tanks in temp mode.

Do you think you get a better vape than you do with Kanthal? Or on par plus the added benefit of no dry hits?
I know you like temp mode a lot, I'm not knocking it, the only atty I have set up for it is the Rose which I don't like, I have a Squape-R on it's way which I will experiment with.

 

I would have to say on par because I have not really done much identical type comparisons - same Mod, same juice, same atty, same wattage, but with different coils (Ni200 vs kanthal). Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't expect you'd notice much difference except for may a super low resistance kanthal + high wattage setup using kanthal where you might not achieve the same warmth and vape with Ni200. I have had some real nice 0.12 RDA Ni200 builds though that kicked out great vapor and taste. It's just that you are limited to the 40 W.

The thing is the added time (not a lot) and precautions in making sure the coil is built well and very secure with Ni200. I actually had run an RTA dry when busily doing other things and noticed only when it produced so very little vapor. Took a look and yep, it was about bone dry....not burnt hit at all! As V mentioned, a nice plus with RDAs where one is more often going to come across dry wick situations.

Forgot to add that I have an rDNA40 as well as a VaporFlask.....absolutely love the VaporFlask 2.1. I'd have to say it's my favorite mod.

 

Dispite a lot of problems I love temp control, definatly for drippers so you can vape dry, but also for some all steel tank setups that I like to have tank cracking liquid in. I have good glass tanks now that can help but there not as robust as the full SS ones. If Im going to change flavours on a tank its always an advantage to vape dry if Im not ready for a wick change or coil clean.

 

I think temp control has been largely a bust...you don't even hear anyone talking about it anymore at all.

 

I think once the yihi chip comes out you'll hear more. One of the reasons it's not so very much talked about is because the mods that have it are fairly expensive and as a result not positioned well for the mainstream market. IMO too early to call it a bust.

There are tons of people who have bought expensive mods and continue to. The problems with the DNA chip aside there will still be the same frustrations with the yihi chip. it was much talked about and touted among the industries elite and you don't even see them using the mods that they got for free, that in itself is very telling.

 

Yes, they continue to buy but look at the variety and number of those other relatively expensive mods compared to the number of DNA 40 mods. Far more of the former are available so it's not surprising that they dwarf sales of the latter (only 3 well-known DNA 40 mod producers together with a total of I believe only 3 models across them).

I still maintain it's too early to characterize it as a bust but would agree it hasn't penetrated or wowed the market place like it was hyped to early on. Part of that reason is the chip problems Evolve had, so few mod options in the market, stops in production, not a BIG change in vape experience and lots of people who cannot be bothered to work with Ni200. I'd say give it another few months and see if there are improvements to implementation, variety of choices and ease of use.

Oh and how many of those elites use the same mods over and over with all the freebies they get and the market the way it is? Hell, I almost have a different mod every month or so myself.
