1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    Ha ha...I just saw everyone else here saying like that so thought it was kinda customary... :) In fact I've already broken my word -- stopped by the Platinum place and picked up a couple of bottles of juice (Vapor Labs 'Waffles & Cream' + Tasty Cloud's 'Skyline' (great online reviews for the latter; haven't tried either yet, waiting til I get home tomorrow. He seems to have gotten in more of a variety of different brand juices in the last month or two (was tempted to get 1 bottle of Frankenvape he had, but was kinda dear @ 800 Thb. Also got a nifty little Eclyp belt accessory for box mods (pic later). And came quite close to getting a brand new Vapor Shark RDNA 40 he just got in (7,500 Thb) but then did a quick google on it and the first 2 posts were going on about chip problems so decided to hold off. If anyone's interested he'll have Subtank Minis in about week.

    Sorry Tibo didn't notice about that or even take it out if the box, just know that it said RDNA on it. When back home tonite I can get his number off business card and PM you if want to call and check, he speaks English ok, esp. regarding vape stuff.

    I just sent him a FB message asking about this, but I'd suspect it does...will let you know his response.

    Update: He just confirmed that it does have the big screen...it's the new V2 version. You'll probably want to take a tank/RBA with a Ni200 coil to test before forking over the cash...make sure it doesn't have the dreaded scrambled screen disease in temp control mode.

    I heard it was about 6% affected, or maybe that was previous small screens.
    A reliable TC chip from YiHi (One that is designed for it, not just a firmware upgrade) will put them head and shoulders above Evolv IMO

    Not every time, some said it comes anywhere from a day or a few weeks....it just happens..
    Yes...
    VS have just said their latest version this month will be fixed 100% with this as they have been working hard with Evolv to clear it as they were getting so many sent back...

    I am pretty sure most do not have the fault but there's definitely been a noticeable percentage that do. If you could wait a while to increase your odds at a trouble-free one that might be good. I have 2 different DNA40 mods here (VS and VF) and both used pretty much daily in TP mode for about 3 months now...no chip or screen issues at all.
