Takes a single 18650 battery. Genuine Evolve DNA20 board.


This is one of the earliest v2 versions and is slightly taller than most at 90mm, with a Rosewood veneer.

I'm not convinced that this has ever worked properly, it keeps showing "check battery" if taken above 15W and then showing the battery as run down. In practice, it shouldn't matter as I don't vape above 11w anyway but it's an annoyance when using a large attie. Maybe it's just my ropey batteries, but I don't know that.
Also, none of my atties screw down flush to it, they leave a gap. Again, it shouldn't matter and maybe it's adjustable but I haven't looked into it and it's an annoyance.

There is some slight damage to the veneer as shown in the pictures, apparently Stig will refurb it and even upgrade the chip so I guess it could be converted to a DNA40 but you'll have to investigate that yourself.

RRP is apparently £135.00, in view of the issues I'm asking £55.00 by Paypal or £50.00 by Paypal friends & family to include 1st class, signed for postage.

No offers, I'm in no hurry to sell and this is a rare item.

The problem will be with the spring and it's not thick enough to carry the full current from the battery and a quick way around it would be to just use some snips and cut the spring about half way and then the bit you cut off just place it with the bottom part and then with a blob of solder just marry them together so in essence you are having the resistance through the spring by doubling it up and you will get the full current from the batter and no more problems at full wattage or the battery showing as drained.

As for the Veneer if on the back panel only that could be sorted quickly but I would have to check to see if I still have any of the wood veneer as I threw a lot of stuff out.

I wouldn't bother upgrading it to a 40 to tell the truth and if you do that with the spring or replace with new spring it will be fine and for £50 you get a genuine DNA mod.

That was one of the first 3 that I did and glad to see it still going :)
 
these really are a thing of beauty..... whipitup has one, and the form factor and size is bang on perfect....
