Vapor Shark DNA 250

[BuryTheSun]

I want but don't need to have this mod immediately. With the 15% discount they're running through tonight, it comes out to about $162; worth pulling the trigger now or wait a while and see if the price slowly comes down? I know most VS products don't usually fall off price sharply in any type of short time.

I love my VS DNA200. The 250 is the same enclosure with a different chip. One thing to consider is anything over 22mm will over hang.

I'm not really fussy about a little overhang, sitting flush all that lol. It's a nice looking mod and I've been wanting a VS since back when they were putting out the 40. No interest in the Flask style though. I'm just wondering if $162 is a pretty good deal or worth waiting awhile.

 

[f1r3b1rd]

Personally I think it's a good deal.
But, I have a pair of everything they've made since the dna30s so, I'm biased.

Like skt said, you will have overhang but with the skin a 24 will fit flush or damn near flush.
Also, keep in mind your battery time.
I get roughly 4-5 hours at 55/60w. To counter that, I tend to top it off once or twice a day-to-day which is really quick to do and lets me get through a day easily.

OK thanks man! I'm not too worried about the battery lasting all day, this mod won't leave the house really. My job is a bit rough on mods so I never take high end stuff to work. I'm thinking this thing will look good on the end table next to the recliner though! Lol

For that it really is ideal... The best part of them is the support after POS.
I've had a dna40 go in for a new case after it was a year and a half old. All they charged was 25$.
I've also had a flask go in for a chip upgrade from the 200 to the 250.
One thing about vs, in my experience they take care of their customers.

I remember when I bought my first Provari, VS was making their name for themselves as the one company taking on being considered on par with Provape and that customer service was a big foundation they built off of.

Well worth it. I paid $120 for mine but it was used (in practically mint condition) and I would easily pay $162 for a new 250. I use mine everyday and it shows...

Yeah I remember that too!
In fact I went from a P2.5 to a DNA30 that I bought from a provarinati because she said she couldn't figure out the board.
I got that in a few months after it released, and havent looked back, I've been lucky to get the last few rounds before release and couldn't ask for a better mod.
Back then a 30w mod smaller than a pack of cigarettes was groundbreaking.

I'm just glad VS stayed with the curve and didn't fall behind.

Lol, that board and all was why I stayed away! I was like that's too much. Even now, the 4 DNA's I have are underutilized by most standards, I've never hooked them up to Escribe. That's definitely an attraction of this VS, they come set up. I know Steve generously shares his user profiles but I don't have easy access to a pc so I use the ones I have in power mode only, which is fine with me really anyway. They work great and well made.

It looks right with the fold cap on the black barrel too.

Oh dude, you really don't need escribe to get a great vape from that board.
I'm a fiddler so, I've had to; but, it is certainly not necessary.
If you do TC, these things with SS were a total game changer for me.

Alritey, pulled the trigger on it! Hopefully have it by end of the week. Couldn't find a place to apply their Valentine's discount code though, I left a note in the order comments, I hope they apply it. But if not, still money well spent.

It really is... I paid 220$ (I think) when the 200 was on preorder and haven't had a single regret.

I paid $180 for my 250. It is one of the best investments I've made, vaping-wise. I love absolutely everything about it.

Enjoy your new 250, BuryTheSun! Hope it gets to you soon.

If they didn't apply it, I would give them a call ((855) 827-3669). They are known to have excellent customer service. I hope you enjoy your new mod!

Cheers,

Thanks Steve! I did email them shortly before noon and they got back to me and gave store credit, which is cool with me as they have some nice rda's I'll use it towards.

Are you getting the Vape Shield with your DNA? The waterproofing, I mean, not the silicone cover.

No, to be honest I didn't even know what that was. I did get a silicone cover though. This mod will rarely leave the house and most likely have a rta on it mostly, so even if there's a little leakage it'll be minimal.

Make sure not to let the leaked fluid pool around the bottom of the mod. If you get liquid under the display cover you won't be able to get it out without sending it back to Vapor Shark. Just so you know!

With 8 vaporshark boxes and 2 flasks and several 'oops' leaks, I've never had that happen.
That said, the spray coating emusic mentioned is 20$(methinks) and will coat all the electrical components inside the mod.
I've never had it done, because evolv warranties the board and they use a coating there.

I'm happy to hear it never happened to you. It happened to me and Vapor Shark quickly replaced the unit. My new unit works flawlessly.

One of the best mods IMHO. I love my 200. I wrapped it with the rosewood skin. I get more handcheck requests than any other non mech device I own LOL. I do prefer using 22mm devices for sure and most of those are flavor chasers but there's a lot to choose from. The petri is very nice. I have a 22mm black goon that looks great.

Everyone complains about battery life on it. I've used my baby beast at 80W, chucks great and makes it through the day with moderate use. It charges FAST though. If I really need to hit something I've got plenty of other things to keep my craving satisfied while it charges. Most of my trips in the car are long enough that by the time I get where I'm going it's 100% or close when I stop. I use a 2.1A USB charger.

I paid $150 for mine, it was about six months old (new, sitting on shelf) and completely dead. Had to do recovery in escribe to get the lipo to charge but it's working fine and has been since last summer. Even if the lipo was shot, they're like ten bucks to replace.

Got mine in the mail yesterday, I'm definitely liking it! This is my style box too, simple and nice looking.

Gotta say I'm liking this mod a lot. Been using it pretty hard this past week. Have it set up right now with the Azeroth on it with dual ss staggered fused claptons(and unfortunately I have the first run azeroth with shorter screws and offset juice fill, bit of a bitch getting these bigger coils in it!) Been flipping between straight power mode and the preset ss profile. Definitely money well spent on a solid device!

Awesome dude!!! Glad to here!!!
Mine has been playing musical toppers lately.

I'm just not a fan of lipo and I don't like that the screen is on the bottom. I already carry a therion DNA166 and a Cartel Revenant.

I have a lot of near shelf queens. They all get used now and then.
The lipo isn't bad since it charges at 2A.
I'm sure tapped out at 250W it will drop (almost) as fast as the juice in a TFV12.

Thinking of getting one of these based on the love of the CS.
Also thinking about an Axis Vapers M17.
Anyone with experience on the Axis?
