THE VAPORSHARK DNA-200 – FIRST LOOK
The VaporShark DNA-200 came in today. As I mentioned before, this will be part of the DNA-200 review video and device comparison.
It’s now available on the VaporShark website for $199.99
It’s smaller than I expected, not much larger than the rDNA-40. It has the rubberized finish which feels great in the hand and leads to a nice firm grip.
A magnetic battery door open to a “user serviceable” battery, but it’s not going to be quite as easy as swapping out an 18650.
The balance connector is plug in, as are the mains, albeit under some heat wrap. Getting the wires back in and making the battery door sit firmly again is a challenge. I know, I lived it. Also, be gentle as leads could easily break… unfortunately, I know this first hand as well… see photos.
If you don’t need to take that battery out… don’t do it!! I’m not convinced this is a task for everyone.
A device like this with a battery like this would benefit from the Innokin Distrupter battery design. I’m sure someone will figure that out eventually.
Some photos for you. A rDNA-40 is shown for a size comparison.
THANK YOU AND WELL DONE!
A really cool “painting” done by Kim (Jimmith)!

Very cool! Thank you!
From Chad
I know you probably wont see this but i wanted to at least try to send you my thanks.I had smoked for 15 years and I recently quit smoking analogs (4 months) and your videos were very helpful in finding a setup that worked for me as well as encouragement to keep going. as of 2 weeks ago i also have quit nicotine and now only vape for making Os, but from me and my family i would like to thank you.
BTW – I did see it and thank you!! 🙂
WHERE’S THE DNA-200 REVIEW?
I’m getting enough of questions about this that I thought it time for a public post.
It’s coming! 🙂
This may be my first 3-parter! I need some additional time with board, the software, and the devices.
In the video, in addition to looking at the software and board features, I also hope to do a comparison of some of the DNA-200 offerings that will be out already or coming your way. I thought this may also be helpful to you.
At least 3 (or all if they come in on time) of the following:
- The Opus 200 (already in-hand)
- The VaporShark DNA-200 (on it’s way)
- The Hcigar VT200 (on it’s way)
- The Volcano Lavabox 200 (status unknown)
Regardless, get some popcorn and a beer ready, this is going to be a long one.
My current plans are to look at the S-Body S-CA3 Squonk Box (getting a lot of questions about this one) followed by the iJoye Asolo 200, then to bury my head in the sand while I’m putting together the DNA-200 and device comparison video. This, of course, is subject to change.
A NEW PAGE… “MY TOP NOW!”
Welcome to the new “MY TOP NOW!” page. This will be easier for me to update over the Hardware Recommendations, which is more of a beginner’s page.
This page is dedicated to some of my current top pics in different categories and will change often as I discover and review new products.
Consider this a “money is no object” page and price is not a factor when considering products for this page.
- Are all categories covered? No.
- Could there be newer/better? Yes… but these are items that I have reviewed or used personally. I get to items when I can and it’s nearly impossible to look at everything these days.
- Will you agree with all of the choices seen here? Maybe, maybe not, but that’s why the page is called MY Top Now. 🙂
Got an idea for this page? I’ll listen. I may not change, but I will listen. 🙂
The videos contained here are either the review video for the product, or a video that the product appears in.

SOME SHOW AND TELL, A LOOK AT THE GOLIATH V2, AND A NEW CONTEST

From Chris
I have sent you afew emails in the past asking questions and alittle cranky chris as
well lol. I’m really wanting to thank you, I have been smoke free for almost 2
years and I’m loving it. I started like everyone else with a ce3 and a ego battery.
I now run a provari 2.5 and a ehpro kayfun 3.1. Your reviews and builds have
really helped me to choose what I should go for in the vast amount products and
juices out there. I will admit I forced myself to hold off vaping all of my five
pawns until i got my provari in the mail 🙂 . I’m hoping in the future I can go to
a vape meet and thank you in person for helping turn my health around but this will
have to do for now.
Thanks 😀
THANK YOU EVERYONE…
My wife Tricia and I would like to sincerely thank everyone for the kind words over the loss of our Punkin. It really does mean a lot to us. Thank you everyone.
CRAFT CAST EPISODE 23
I spent an evening with Josh from Craft Vapery on their Craft Cast.
Dimitris, please don’t be jealous.
In this episode of the CRAFT CAST, Josh is joined via Skype by the one and only Phil Busardo from TasteYourJuice.com. Phil is one of the best known voices in the vaping community and is well known for his in-depth reviews of mainstream vaping hardware and liquids.
Phil discusses how he got his start in the industry and what prompted him to start reviewing juices and hardware. The two discuss Phil’s current top picks for mods and tanks, cloning, and the Chinese influence on the current market. Phil goes on to discuss his relationship with Dimitri (The Vaping Greek), regulations pending for the industry here in the US, Diketones, and the lack of real research about the health impacts of vaping. Along the way, Josh gets Phil’s opinions on the flavor profiles for CRAFT’s new line of Certifiably Vapable Liquids, followed by Phil’s take on where the industry is headed and what needs to change to make the future a reality.
Giveaway: Three winners will be chosen to receive a mod-and-tank-combo package generously donated by Phil and CRAFT VAPERY. Make sure to watch or listen to the episode for details on how to enter and win. One lucky listener will also win a free three-bottle box from CRAFT VAPERY!
