All right, well, hey everybody, it's Grim Green from Grim Green.com back here today. Monday double feature. Thank you so much for joining me again. What I have to talk to you about first is this. Now I got this around to ECC. This is the new Vapor Shark DNA 200 device. Been spending a lot, a lot of time with this device. And I feel comfortable like I'm ready, like I'm ready to just, like I'm ready to just talk about it. It's a big deal. But in order to get to know this device, just a little bit better, what we're going to do is go up close. As we always do for a quick short, up to close the time, I don't have an atomizer attached to this. So what the hell? What the hell, Nick? I mean, seriously, get your head in the game, man. All right, yeh, well, let's spend a little bit of up close and personal time here with the Vapor Shark DNA 200 device. It's got a little juice on there. If you have used Vapor Shark products in the past, you kind of know what to expect with this. It's got the Vapor Shark DNA 200 box mod DNA 200. It's got that sort of soft, rubberized finish on there that is generally quite durable, except in a few cases, kind of right here on the bottom. You see where I set it down constantly because that's the bottom? Yeah. It's kind of starting to come off there as well as over on these corners, over here, as well as up here on this area. Yeah. The rubberized finish, it isn't super durable. I mean, it works okay, but there's a lot of instances where it's kind of just coming off up here as well. The rubberized finish is coming off. Spring loaded 510, all your controls are on one side, wattage up, wattage down, and the fire button has a blue LED around it, USB for charging, and you'll need the charge it with the USB because it has a 10-hour 3S LIpo battery pack on the inside that is actually user-servcible, not necessarily user-servcible, but user-excessible. And I was asking Vapor Shark about this and they said, well, if we didn't make it user-excessible, people would have complained. So, in order to keep those complaints down, saying, I can't get to my batteries, I can't get to my batteries, they made it accessible. The general consumer, myself included, I'm never going to go in here, never going to fiddle in here, I'm never going to take this apart and take that apart and take my LIpo's out. But if you do know how to do those things then absolutely, it is accessible to you, tell it on by a magnet on the top and a little sort of clip on the bottom. It's really super easy, everything fits in there nice, magnet hatches there, you can see this clip down right there, doesn't come off unless you really want to sort of pull it off, it all fits on there very, very secure. Now, the one thing about the Vapor Shark products is all their screens are always on the bottom, nice bright DNA200 screen on there, and I've fiddled with mine so that it says the battery percentage, there's a bunch of stuff you can do in the eScrib software, but just keep in mind that if you're using this product, you're going to have to look at the bottom to get any information about your atomizer, temperatures, wattage, voltage, anything like that, it's all on the bottom and it is all protected slightly by the slightly raised ring around it, but setting it down like that, that's what caused that rubberized finish to come off. The buttons, super nice, super clicky, it feels very sturdy, very substantial in the hand. Like I said, spring loaded 510 connection on their traditional airflow style slots if you need them, which most people will not need them, but yeah, Vapor Shark DNA200, up close and personal, it is what it is, not stoked about that finish, but what we're going to do now is get back out to normal view and we're going to vape this. Normal view, normal view. That's the Vapor Shark DNA200, all up close and personal like. I was really interested when I first got this as to why this was accessible. Why do you need to get to your LIPO packs? Like I said, the average consumer, myself included, I'm not ever going to get in here, I'm not ever going to get in here and try to replace or fiddle with these LIPO packs, but Vapor Shark made that available to the people that do. If you bought this and you're an average consumer like myself and you're not super familiar with changing out LIPO's or using LIPO packs, don't even bother, don't get in there, don't fiddle, it's just something that's accessible for the people that do know how to do that. Now, I've been really enjoying this device. I used it a lot at ACC, I was using it a lot with the phenotype and the temperature control, the titanium wire in there and it was great. The only downfall of this device besides the finish coming off, which think about that it's maybe two months old, the finish is coming off on the bottom, it's coming off on the corners, it's coming off up here where this door connects, it's coming off in a lot of places. The finish on this is not super durable, not super rugged, it just, it's coming off and that's a bummer. I like this device, I really do like it, I'm not a huge fan of the battery life. If you rock it at lower wattages, using less of those watt hours than yeah, you're going to get a longer battery life. I tend to use the DNA 200 at higher wattages. Now this video isn't about the DNA 200. My good buddy, P. Bessardo, Mr. Phil, has a great three part series on the DNA 200 and he goes more in depth than I ever could. But here's what I want to say, I do like the DNA 200. It has not let me down yet. I can take this 0.14 ohm coil, can't all build, not temperature sensing, can't all build. I can take this 0.14 ohm coil, rock it in 126 watts, gives me plenty of power, gives me plenty of voltage, gives me 4.2 volts and I don't want to dry hit at that wattage. So you know what, we're just going to put a little juice on the coils, no big deal. But it gives me plenty of power, it gives me that nice warm vape that I'm after. Good, it's good. Oh man, it's good, it gives me plenty of power in a very compact little size. I'm not amazed with the battery life, I'm not crazy about the battery life and I've noticed that I'm really in tune with the battery life now because I changed my DNA 200 to show me the percentage in battery life. Right now it says 94% at ECC, this was going through battery life like crazy. I made it, I mean obviously yeah at ECC and it makes you're going to be vaping a lot more, lot, lot, lot, lot more. But at ECC I went through a battery and probably I don't know, four hours, maybe four and a half hours. I fully charged it in my hotel room, I was all excited, I'm like yeah, I got my titanium build, I'm going to rock this all day and at lunch time literally I'm looking at my battery and it's just dead. It says weak battery and there's the little little stripe of battery power left and I'm like, holy shit, I just blew through this whole battery in like four hours. Four and a half hours I blew through this whole battery. So the battery life isn't great, the finish isn't great, everything else about it is pretty cool. It's a great size, the buttons are nice and clicky and tactile feeling, charge it with the USB. The display is on the bottom but I knew it was going to be on the bottom because it's vapor shark and they put all their displays on the bottom. Is that my ideal place for it? Not really but it's something you kind of get acclimated to. You know what I mean? So looking at the vape budget, let's click over to the vapor shark site, looking at your vape budget hands, this vapor shark DNA 200, yeah, it's 199, 99, 199 and they do have a little disclaimer on here that she says shipping has begun. Orders placed today may take up to seven days to ship just that's just them. That's not me, that's just what they have on their site. Everything has begun, orders placed today may take up to seven days to ship. 199 bucks is a lot. It's a lot for a DNA 200 device. Now there's some other DNA 200 devices out there that are a bit maybe a little bit cheaper and plenty that are a little bit more expensive. So kind of get out there on Google, look around and see what DNA 200 devices are out there. If you're looking for a DNA 200 device, there's some that are cheaper and I know this video is about the vapor shark DNA 200, but the H cigar VT 200 box is 170 bucks. This is 200 bucks and I've seen them for well over 200 bucks into the $250 range for some DNA 200 devices. So look at the specs, look at the watt hours of the battery. That's going to be a big deciding factor in your battery life is the watt hours of the battery. They all run the DNA 200 board. I mean, they don't all run the DNA 200 board DNA 200 mods run the DNA 200 board. I have not had no issues with the DNA 200. Now the eScribe software that I was talking about so you can change your logos. This one says, toot life now, you can change your logos. You can change how it looks, show your battery percentage, show this, show that, analyze your battery, analyze your atomizer. It's only available for Windows right now, which is kind of a huge bummer. I run most of my stuff on Windows, but I do have a MacBook Pro and it might be nice to adjust things and use the eScribe software on a Mac or on a MacBook Pro. There's a fuck ton of Mac users out there. I don't know why Evolve hasn't done the eScribe software yet for Mac, which is just crazy. So I'm going to put a link in the description, obviously to the vapor shark site, 199 bucks. That's a lot. That's a lot of scratch. That's a lot of scrilla. I don't know if I would be comfortable spending $200 on this particular device. I do like house of stanchilot feels. I do like the buttons and I do like the DNA 200. But that DNA 200 is also available in a lot of other mods with maybe a little bit more battery life, maybe a similar-ish battery life. I do like, even though I'll never use it, that you can get in here and, you know, if you're skilled enough or if you know what you're doing, you have access to your lipos which most other DNA 200 devices that I've come across, including the VT200, the Jolette 44, a lot of other DNA 200 devices. You don't have access to those lipos. So I'm glad that vapor shark included that. But that's what I got for today. Get out those vape budget hands because it's $200 and I'll post a link in the description to where you can get it before I start repeating myself. That's what I got. Thank you so much for watching everybody. And as always, yes, let's keep on vaping. That's enough.
