Hope no one pre-ordered the VTbox200 DNA200
- Thread starter Nailz
- Start date
Sure looked good in the pictures, not so much in this video.
Need plenty of superglue, have to do that 510 connection every month, and then have to glue the magnets in yourself too lol
And you shouldn't have too for the price, I buy something for $50 then don't expect it to be perfect, but spend $160, don't expect the 510 held on by glue and magnets falling out nearly straight away, shame as it does sure look sexy, but that is it.

Well, at one point it was 117$ and at that price point for the board being 'preinstalled' and batteries I can see making it right. ---of course if it were sold, imagine of they just sold it as a kit "some assembly required"
Either way, I agree to buy anything that needs to be fixed after it comes out the box would piss me off. Especially if the modder said to use elmers

Yup more reason to enjoy my ipv3li and my sig 75 for a while longer and wait for some quality dna200 boxes to come out....I have a feeling we're about to be attacked by them, but it's going to be hit or miss, sad thing is the people that get this kinda of stuff will be good for those waiting but man if I just got that box and they told me to glue it you better believe I would make it my quest to let everyone know not to buy it, imagine how much business they will lose from that vid alone......
That's crazy ! Oh well after that statement and video I don't think anyone here will be buying that !
I pre-ordered one @ $120 and although not happy with the way they designed / installed the 510 everything else can be easily resolved. I'm not canceling the pre-order because I hope that's all the problems it will have. So if it's a turd it'll be floating it's way to me over the next few weeks.
Realistically there haven't been any mass produced DNA 200's released that haven't been plagued with issues that I'm aware of. Opus blow fuses as well as many other DNA 200 mods, Hana have shitty 510 connectivity (resistance floating all over) and their pinching the ribbon cable to the lcd. I'm sure these mod makers will resolve these issues over time but for now there just isn't many without some major problems from what I'm reading.
For me I wouldn't have a problem fixing those two things. But for the price you shouldn't have to do that.

The unit in the video might just be a Test/Sample/Prototype. Todd also posted a quick look and he was not facing any problems like this.
It is a LiPo battery which run at higher voltages. So 1800mah is actually greater than you'd expect.
Great vid! I'm not surprised ast the quality of the mod. Seems like too many company's are rushing to get their product out, just to try and see how much money they can get before their short falls start showing up. For about the same amount of money spent, I could build an outstanding mod myself that would perform just as well.
That's why I'm saving my nickels and dimes for a SXmini.

I dont understand what you're trying to say
Not really. You can buy your own lipo battery and attach the conector to it and just plug it in. I'm glad this mod isn't sealed like the opus is, I had bought it and then cancelled my order when I saw that it really wasn't in stock. But having access to the battery with out voiding the warranty is what made me choose this mod over any other I've seen
You can just buy a lipo that has or install a Deans mini connector on it and use that...Its not Fixed and can be swapped out...
I think the 510 is a very simple fix....a quick hit with a dremel on the contacting surfaces under the 510 and a dab of JB Weld and the problem will never arise again...Out of all the DNA200 mods that have issues I think this one has some of the least amount of issues.

Ok do......I was messaged by Vape Cige right after this video ( go figure ) that the one they sent me (the red-black version) is known to have issues (then why did they send it for review?) and that the newer version (the white-black version) has a updated 510 connection and is press-fit not glued into place. They are sending me a updated device and i will do another video on that one to update everyone.. I am just passing on what Vape Cige has told me to you guys/gals... Still, I don't understand why they would send the Red-Black version to me for review if they KNEW it had issues.. Makes no sense..

If they drop the price on this to offset the issues it has, It could be a nice item when the end user fixes the few issues it has.

If I was to go with a DNA 200, I think by far the Lavabox would be it, $170.

Great link for all DNA 200w devices. http://vaping360.com/dna-200-box-mods/
Its back up again. Maybe Im seeing things. Or not seeing things...
WTH, why does every Chinese manufacturer insist on a photo or worse yet video of a mistake they made. They admit guilt, know from serial numbers if the owners device is affected. Just fix it or replace it.

Its kind of sad:
Maybe its to make people think.
Your taking a picture with your phone or camera made in china of a faulty mod made in china and sending the photo with a computer or tablet made in china to get the company in china replace the mod made in china with another mod made in china.
And im in America eating Chinese food right now made in America.
I need help
