The zero arrived today but somewhat mixed news. The threading on 510 is great, no issues there at all and I am happy with that. The screen however is a little skewed. Now, the bad news. It was all going well until It started auto firing. There was no way to stop it other than taking out the battery. It took less then 20 seconds and putting everything back in made it auto fire again. So, third time I removed the atty, put the battery in and it was not auto firing. However, it won't fire at all now and there was a burnt smell coming out of the device. The screen still works but whatever atty you attach it just says check atomizer. I opened it up, nothing visible seems wrong. it smells burnt and there is a little dot, rough under the finger on the small chip. It seems like something got fried in there. I tried different resistance atties, no luck.
Anyway, dna40 arrives tomorrow and will swap them. It was always the plan but I didn't expect that id fry the chip so quick.
Other than this, beautiful device and really well made.

Sorry to hear about some of the issues you guys are having. I have experienced the Continuous firing happen on a couple occasions, but for me it doesn't have to do with the 510 or the atty as far as I know. It's actually the fire button getting stuck, it's only happens when I hit it in just the right spot right on the edge of the button, and I am able to re-create it. I just hit the fire button again and it stops firing.
Would anyone here, who has some experience modding be willing to upgrade my chip to a dna40? Trying to get an idea of what people would charge to do it. I have a feeling fasttech will have these enclosures by themselves just like they have the hana's now here in a couple months, and they will be much cheaper that Yosen is quoting prices for now. Here's a quick few pictures for size comparison, and one for fun. Might have to dust off my real cameras, and try to get some nice pictures before too long.
Istick, Cloupor Hana clone, and Zero clone.
.. I am hoping that someone will post some instructions or a tutorial for replacing the chip too.
Wouldn't have done it if I didn't believe it. Your reviews are the most complete and well rounded that I have ever read. As mentioned I have the Wotofo/A-Mod ZNA 30 review bookmarked as my manualOh you sweet man you, I can't believe that you did that! What an utterly considerate, and just all around really nice thing to do. I appreciate that very much.

I hope the Wotofo ZNA serves you for a long time too Hopefully one day soon I will understand better how to do this myself ... any plans to video tape this process?
I casted my vote as well.Wouldn't have done it if I didn't believe it. Your reviews are the most complete and well rounded that I have ever read. As mentioned I have the Wotofo/A-Mod ZNA 30 review bookmarked as my manual
How different are the DNA 30 and 40 chips? The Evolv I mean ...
Work in progress. Continuing tomorrow.
The board with buttons (as fury mentioned) is unusable. The buttons share ground and it was designed to work with this dna30 clone. I am using new buttons and rewiring it all. More pics and details tomorrow.

This is what makes threads really useful and worthwhile
So I got mine in a couple of days ago and man this thing is HEAVY!!!!! I literally feel safer holding this to get ready to punch someone in the face on Hollywood Blvd haha! It is that solid.
I did get some good threads though which was one of my main concerns.
And... I see what you guys mean about the Ohms readings being all over the place. I have a range from 1.2 but sometimes it says 2.8?? It says 2.8 initially then after each vape it gradually goes down to 1.2
Lastly I was able to do my wrap thing to it using genuine lambskin leather and it is freaking sexy, I don't feel I will ever use the 2 extra sleeves I bought from Focal because the leather is so sexy

The problem with how the mod is made, copied from the original, is that the outer case fixing screws sit just below the atty and too close to 510. This means that if you tried to install fatdaddy it would cover the fixing screw. The only alternative is to drill another hole and fill the old one -- not pretty.
See these
That new look there @franciscan bro kinda reminds me of Anton lavey just a bit
That is sweet maybe I will do a cat skin on mine here kitty kittySo I got mine in a couple of days ago and man this thing is HEAVY!!!!! I literally feel safer holding this to get ready to punch someone in the face on Hollywood Blvd haha! It is that solid.

So is there a release date for the V2 I have not ordered mine yet I was going to but if there are issues I would rather wait... Ohh thats right were changing the chip dont matter... duhhWell it is all "supposed" to be worked out with this V2 that has not reached anyone's hands yet .. but for now I will leave you all with this. Yosen did say they were the sister brand of Infinite, so might as well keep it all in the family
Reading through this thread nearly a month later but, this is absolutely spot on. It's like an old Marantz receiver.
Transplant complete but not without the help of friends that know what they are doing. It really is a great device and DNA40 is fantastic. It doesn't even come close to the clone chip although mine was pretty crap anyway so.
Anyhow, here are some pics of the install. As I mentioned earlier we had to include new buttons since the original board the buttons were fixed would just not work with dna40, well we couldn't figure out how to. There is some glue gun action here, it ain't pretty but it works great. We also had to play around a little with the buttons to get the right feel to them since they are not fixed to any board. Luckily the wood insert pushes them nicely into place so just a little bit of glue gun to hold them in place is enough.
We also decided to leave the original charge port in place since it was nice and snug. I'll save the new one for another mod should I decide to venture there. Zero will keep me happy for some time.
I also ordered some extra sleeves from Yosen over Facebook. They ship DHL and transaction was smooth. Hope to get them soon - gray, gold and s/s.
Now, photos...
Ignore the screen on the last pic, it's fine but because of the refresh rate of the screen is about the same speed as of the iPhone it's kind of hard to capture. I'll try iOS slowmo to see if this works better.
I have no real intention of buying this any time soon, I imagine this isn't the V2 either.
