Does anyone have a lead on where I can purchase Evolv boards in the states? Only source I have ATM is StealthVapes in the UK. While they are an outstanding vendor, it seems wrong that I have to pay VAT to purchase a product that was designed (and produced?) by a company here in the states?....

I know, I know... I thought of that too but, with all the pending regulation, I was worried they might be closing up.... Just needed reassurance I suppose.

This doesn't necessarily apply only to the DNA 60 but Evolv as a whole: In the past when I have submitted tickets, they have generally replied within 24 business hours. My latest ticket was submitted about 4 days ago with no response yet. Anyone have an idea why this may be? I hope it's not a sign that Evolv is closing up shop?.....

Meh... maybe a slight improvement but, not much if any. Running this latest 45.1 doesn't seem to help much. That said, I haven't done any comparisons with the Device Manager.....

@BillW50 you can install whatever you want on your Mac regardless of Apple's stance. Any 'ban' would only affect an app's availability in the app store. An iPhone is a different story however. The mobile devices would be affected and would require 'jail breaking' to install apps from sources other than Apple's App Store.

The is only a cost IF you distribute the app through the Apple store which Evolv doesn’t do. Anyone can use the Apple developer tools, create and distribute Apple compatible applications for free.

I definitely appreciate your input but… I think the consensus would agree, we were hoping to find an option that didn’t require drilling our enclosure. 😀 As for keeping the screen on while plugged in, in my experience that has not worked on two different 250C devices that I have tried. The screen would stay on for a while but ultimately would turn off again.

I have one for sale I bought from them just before they off-loaded their stock and closed. Already assembled, unused. Let me know if you’re interested. I’ll let it go for what I have in it plus shipping. It’s the full sized one, black with a black miltech fire switch.

Nope... doesn't solve the issue for me.... Guess it's time to submit a ticket.

Anyone have an idea what would cause a 250C to not turn on until a usb is plugged in? The problem seems to be intermittent but usually occurs after the mod has been sitting for a while. Once plugged in, it powers on and functions fine. After it has sat idle for a while, several hours, it will require being plugged in again.

I'm very disappointed to hear this. Might be possible to contact them and see if they have any enclosures left over or if they would reveal their source?

This is a manually chosen option that is not activated automatically when the device is charging which is the desired behavior. I would like the screen to come on and stay on while the device is charging without user intervention. Plug the device in, the screen comes on and stays on while charging. This is a feature of previous DNA boards.

I would like to automatically toggle "Keep Screen On" setting depending on whether the device is charging. The screen brightness when charging would be another setting I'd like adjust automatically. Can anyone elaborate whether settings can be toggled automatically depending on conditions? From what experimenting I've done, this doesn't seem possible. @James @retird @Brandon @SirTimmyTimbit @Frank65

I agree, it would be nice to have an emulator to test themes. I think this has been mentioned before but, I don't recall a response. @Brandon

Doesn’t seem to be any interest other than the two of us unfortunately... 😕

@retird @dwcraig1I thought I had looked into swapping a 75C out for a 250C in a LV Paranormal before. If I remember correctly I also inquired with Evolv. Evolv essentially confirmed what you have found; the boards are different sizes so, it won't work.... I'm a bit surprised there aren't more lipo mods available. Certainly disappointed.....

@retirdThat looks exactly like the 250C prototype enclosure I saw Brandon demoing.... Except of course, it's smaller. Maybe they have intentions of producing a case for the 250C? I'll definitely be checking with them. Thanks for the info.

@retirdIt's not so much that I want to be able to vape at 400 watts. I don't think thats even possible. I just prefer a lipo over non lipo. Lipos hit harder for much longer. Most of the cases I have be able to find are geared toward 18650s or are generally much larger than that prototype case. Dripp3d.com has a large and small enclosure of which I've built two. The large is quite large but, I do carry it often. As for the Boxer mods, no thanks. Overpriced plastic isn't my thing....

@Wayneo so, you are flaunting it.... 😕 I assume you were a tester of the prototype 250C. Maybe Evolv would tell me where I could acquire the case?... I suppose its possible they manufactured the case but likely had a third party make the cases for them. Hopefully... I can get my hands on one. The form factor is perfect and lipo is definitely the way to go...

@Wayneo Just getting a chance to reply as I've been driving home from Tennessee. Couple of Few questions: Which VT is that? Doesn't look like any I recognize, certainly not a VT200. Are you just going to flaunt the prototype case or tell me how I might acquire one? 😁The size is perfect.... But, you know that..... This is the first I've heard of an LiHV lipo. Any benefits with a DNA mod? Can the DNA charge it as an LiHV or just as a standard lipo?

I love my Triade also and just ordered a Drone. Although, I find the form factor not quite as pocketable as the VTs. What would be nice is, if I could find the case I saw Evolv using with the prototype of the 250C. I assume it was a lipo mod which is my preference.....

I actually have 3 VT200 because I loved the form factor so much. I could sell you one if you're interested OR, you can do what I did with one of my three. I replaced the 200 board with a 250. I did so simply because, I wanted the faster charging and more accurate board. I have about 22 mods total and the VT250 is by far my most used mod. Now, its nearly impossible to find a DNA (or any) mod with a lipo pack. In my opinion, a lipo pack is far better than 18650s any day. They hit harder for longer. Most of my non-lipo mods need to be charged around 15% remaining battery whereas the lipo mods still hit like a freight train down to 3 or 4 percent. And with 2 amp charging on the 250 boards, it takes no time to recharge. When I changed the boards, I also carved out the battery side of the mod so that I could install a true 1300mah battery.

While the charger that Evolv uses is quite good, it's not as good (nor is it expected to be) as an external Lipo charger. With a decent quality external charger, you should be able to revive that one cell and balance the entire pack. I have been able to rescue seemingly dead packs on several occasions.

Hey @Brandon, any ideas or should I opt for an RMA?

And this is just one of the reasons a mod with an Evol board is worth the slightly higher price when compared to other mods...
