I recently received the new Vapor Flask, this time by VaporShark.
I’m really digging it. I like the new rubberized finish better than the original. I seem to have better control of it in my hand. I like the larger DNA-40 screen (so far, no glitches). I also like the new battery caps which have a “flip up handle” removing the need for a coin to replace the batteries (although they are somewhat sharp)
What I really, really, really, and BTW REALLY don’t like is the fact that I can find no battery orientation information on either the device or the included documentation. Maybe I haven’t looked hard enough? Although the DNA-40 now has reverse battery protection, the device itself does not. So as an experiment, I installed the batteries the wrong way. This resulted in heat, smoke, and damn near vented batteries. Not good. IMHO this need to come with a rather large, in your face warning about correct battery installation which is positive side up into the device for both batteries. The good news is the board and device survived.
From the VaporShark website:
The ergonomic design and impressive performance of Vapor Flask have made this unique mod a favorite amongst vapers. Now Vapor Flask and VaporShark® have worked together to redesign this mod from the ground up. We are very proud to present Vapor Flask by VaporShark®! In typical VaporShark® fashion, new and innovative features have been added to take this dual battery mod to the next level. Improved features include a large screen with dimmable idle screen capabilities. The new rubberized finish adds a modern look and comfortable feel. Additionally, the days of waiting hours upon hours for your device to charge are over. Zip Charging has been added to decrease charging time by a whopping 350%. Vapor Flask by VaporShark® is innovation at its finest. When two industry leaders come together the result is nothing short of amazing.
