You requested the Warranty in writing:
You got me wrong here buddy, i was talking about an official one year warranty on the finished DNA200 product by the actual manufacturer like Wismec, HCigar .. etc not on Evolv's board, what i meant was when the manufacturer is the actual purchaser of the board and you buy a finished mod, you are not officially entitled to receive warranty from Evolv directly according to their warranty policy, so if they do fix one of these mods on goodwill that does not mean they are obliged to do so, unless you actually purchase the board directly from them which is not the case, so i would like to see DNA200 based mods come with at least one year warranty on the entire product including the board.
A NOTE: to members who keep throwing around the stupid argument that
"if you do not go out and buy a particular product you would not know how it works or compare to other products" in every conversation, and then end up
not taking their own advice for it, they keep commenting on things they do not own and never intend to purchase!
1- There is a particular site that has been around for a long time called YouTube in case you do not realize that by now.
2- In that site there are two particular individuals called
Phil Busardo (PBusardo) and
Daniel (DJLsb Vapes)
3- These two individuals present information about products even their owners' would not have the ability to know about without advanced equipment and the willingness to take apart your shiny new product and void your warranty, which most products owners don't have or do.
4- These two individuals post very detailed technical information about a product including power/temp. charts and curves, detailed operations, battery charge/discharge performance, resistance reading and change and much much more ...
5- The very purpose of the work of these two individuals is that people would know everything with great performance details about a product
BEFORE they actually go out and buy one.
6- These individuals reveal much more information about a product than most their owners know about, so even if you actually own the product you will learn much more about it by watching their testing and analysis.
7- You can use this data to compare the performance of two different products without actually having to go out and buy them.
8- With these facilities in place it would be stupid for anyone to just go out and buy a product just to test it when they can find out what exactly to expect before they make the actual purchase.
Now if someone owns a product under discussion and think that they are smarter or more knowledgeable than these two guys or have better testing procedures or equipment, and some other member (who does not own the product yet) comes out and discuss any of its features or performance parameters based on this extensive publicly available information, then that owner should objectively explain, illustrate and discuss the why, how, who when of things, throwing the same lame and lazy argument that "you do not own the product hence you know nothing about it" in every conversation is just stupid stupid stupid and does not help anyone whatsoever, it only shows that you either don't know much about it yourself, or you lack any communication skills to make what is in your head presentable, explainable and useful to others, i hope the next time i do not see this stupid argument being thrown around again and again ever in any conversation in the future, if you feel the urge to post just to write just that without adding any userful info, please do not post at all the next time.
Now for those who would not settle for anything less than actual solid data, lets do a $28 device vs. a $150 device without actually owning any of the two products:
A PBusardo Review - The DNA 200 - The EScribe Software: Here is the TC performance graph of a $150 DNA 200 device (Start from Minute 25:00)
Eleaf iStick TC100W Review + TC Charts + Power Charts + Disassembly + Firmware Upgrade: Here is the TC performance graph of a $28 Joyetech device (Start from Minute 27:00)
NOW CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY ONE COSTS 5 TIMES MORE THAN THE OTHER? ok .. ok i know, the DNA 200 could cost as little as $120. yes i have heard this one before as well, so it costs 4 times more, or 3 times more, it does not really matter, one is significantly more expensive than the other and still performs very close, both manufacturers have the same business costs, R&D, manufacturing, design, logistics ... you name it.
