Does anyone still use the Darwin?

[freeall]

I know the Provari still has a huge following, but what about the Darwin? I own 4 Provari's, but never did have the Darwin. I just checked nhalers website and it's still 'out of stock' lol. Its been out of stock for years, haha. Are they even still being made/sold? I'd like to buy one for the collection just for keepsake if nothing else.

If you use one or have one, post pics!

Hm, I guess it was discontinued in 2012. Where the hell have I been. Yikes..

at one time there was talk of a darwin 2 but it never came out that I know of

They haven't gotten any harder to obtain since they quit making them. It was somewhere on the impossible side of really difficult to get one when they were in production.

I bet a small handful of people still have them, though. I mean, anyone who had that sort of patience and spent that kind of money probably keep them in some sort of trophy case I won't be entirely surprised if a couple of folks show you some that are still working.

He got tired of reparing the boards and stopped making them. And went to just making the chip available so we got the dna modders board and kick drop in for mechs. Still use my kick2 and you can see the many dna mods, so basically they are all based on the darwin

Nope, they are no longer being made. Once in awhile, you can find one for sale (usually on FB), freeall. I don't think there's really much of a following anymore, but you might check out this group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/DarwinNation/

Happy to post a pic of mine, albeit an old pic, and perhaps I'll not surprise you, six. Yes, mine is still working (and working well) and I do still hit it every now and then. That's one mod I'd not ever sell, but it's certainly not in a trophy case!

Early on in my vaping, I wanted a Darwin so badly. They were being made at the time, but difficult to get. I never did get one, and instead got my first of several V1 Provaris.

i refused on basic principle.

No, I do not own a Darwin. (Wish I did....)
But, this is a true story.......the very FIRST person I ever saw vaping about 3 years ago(??) was sporting a genuine Darwin, and he was blowing CLOUDS in a retail establishment here in New Jersey. I was not a vaper yet, and it stopped me in my tracks.

I asked him, 'What da heck is THAT?"
He just chuckled a little, said, 'It's a Darwin." I said, A WHAT??'.
He went on to explain what it was, what it does, and how to get one at Nhaler.com. We talked for a bit about how he quit smoking, and he even mentioned ECF if I wanted to find out more.

At that point, I was simply not ready to try e-cigs and vaping, but it certainly got me into researching just what in hell all the fuss was about over these new 'e-cig things', including The Darwin. I quickly learned that the Darwin was the absolute top-of-the-line mod on the market at the time.

Never got his name. I may have eventually found vaping, but I am absolutely certain that the guy I crossed paths with that was using The Darwin sped up the process for me.

Hard to imagine looking at Kat's pict that any topper nowadays would remotely fit on it.

Was the BuzzPro easier to obtain and use? I remember long lists for almost everything but an ego.

 

[Thrasher]

Sheesh the buzzpro - wasn't that the one you had to adjust the voltage with a screwdriver? Just had a screw head stickin out the side?

Then along came the mighty lavatube.

And some rinkydink outfit making some provari thingy challenging them and China's first challenger the provari clone called the Vmax thing ran so hot you'd melt your lips off meanwhile everyone stackin batteries to run 5 ohm coils at 8 v in mechanicals lol

What a time to be a vapor, innovation around every corne,r I remember seeing the bulli a2 thinking who the ell wants to wrap coils when we got these new repairable clearomizers

You know, rereading my post its a wonder we made it this far before things started exploding and people getting hurt.

Hey !!! I still love my BuzzPro. Did you know this produces the best flavor in any of my variable wattage/voltage devices. There's a wheel to adjust the voltage.

Maybe because you Have to adjust by taste, rather than a number on a screen. What chip did he use in that? Was it RMS, PWM, ect??

Back Off the Buzz Pro brother! It was a great mod in its day. Buzz Pro withe the M1 carto tank that has the side fill screw with the best available polycarbonate tank and that was great stuff back then!

No man. I use a 510 voltage meter. I compared it with the Provari. The Buzzpro brings out more highs at the same wattage. I have no clue what kind of chip it is. I think he's still selling them. Email him and I'm sure he could answer that for you.

I think it was PWM but not the cheap low end electronics that followed soon after. PWM can be a smooth and effective form of regulation but like most things It can be done cheaply

How bout the Joker or the Delmanti

Notcig still sells them with custom engraving



And ease off cowboy, nobody is putting down a legend
