Others who are more experienced can go into detail with you about variable wattage vs. variable voltage. I happen to love VV and VW but find that vaping is more consistent w/ wattage on the Darwin. It is a great vape no matter what you throw at it. I like being able to dial up and down w/ the wheel. Never experience a drop off in power or change in my vape.
There are no removable batteries w/ the Darwin. A charge lasts me about two days vaping but I do use other PVs as well. It can be charged overnight w/ plug in charger without babysitting or worries about overcharging. Batteries come w/ 1 year warranty and are replaceable after 1st year for $25 but the unit needs to be sent to Evolv.
Only negatives that I've really seen are that the arm does not fully close with a tank attached (works fine w/ a tank - I typically lay mine down with arm extended up between vapes) and the form. The form is perfect for me - it's just about the right weight not too heavy and not plastic light - but others may prefer the traditional tubular mod. There was a thread earlier about the thumbwheel moving when the device was pocketed but I don't pocket so has not been an issue that I've experienced.
I'm sure that others will chime in as well. Good Luck!

the weight on the darwin is great. its built like a tank and I highly recommended giving it a sho, one con is price and availability I had one hell of a time finding one however i was on a time crunchand it was important to get one before i left. If your serious about what shoot drew from inhaler an order i was told by brandon last week that nhaler would be getting some blue led models in last Wednesday. good luck
oh one last thing the battery on this thing last me 3-4 days before i need a charge but thats just at my vaping style I use a cisco spec 306 3 ohm and a HH.357 3ohm depending on my day.
Pro's -- VW is sweet. No need to really say more.
-- The display data is readily available with one look
-- Can handle whatever atty/carto you put on it --and when it runs into a bad one, it lets you know
-- Revives old used atty's for a fresh new feeling experience
-- It doesn't roll around (Great for table or car seat)
-- Can charge between vapes via the usb charge port. (Sort of a pass through)
-- It's lighter than some other tube mods.
-- Battery life like I get with a good 18650 on a 3.7 volt mod
-- didn't think twice about taking as carry on luggage due to looks
-- great warranty
Cons --
-- It's not a bottom feeder
-- It's little sister model hasn't come out yet

I cannot add to the pros but a definite con is you cannot close the swing arm with a carto tank. This may be also true about a drop shield. I don't have one to try it.
I wish I could shove my Darwin into my reo

I had heard on vaporcast that they couldn't close it with the regular empire drip shield but they could with a hex but it dug into the paint
Are you using a drip shield from empire or somewhere else? I'd like to know so I can get one and use it.

I am using empires drip shield with a 510 to 510 adapter.(the stealth one) the is on empires site.
Just ordered me one. That was the only thing keeping me from buying one. Thanks
Drew said he will have some soon. I guess there have been some hiccups in the production recently, so it's been a longer than usual dry spell. There's no automated notification built into the Nhaler shop site, but use the contact link on the site and he'll notify you when he's got some 
I bought a "signature" Darwin from the classifieds here on ecf. No clue as too why a "signature" is special. I just want to try the Darwin. Is the warranty transferable? And if I wanted to have it gone over, have a new battery installed, sorta like have a tuneup, will Evolv be willing to do this for me?
Yes, the warranty is transferable. Not a bad idea to contact Evolv just so their records show you (if the seller can provide his order invoice to you that might be useful), but I don't know if that's technically necessary or not. As for a "tune-up", I'm sure they probably would be willing to give it a once-over for you. No idea on if he'd charge anything since it's not a repair issue, but the worst Brandon can say is "no" so you might as well email Evolv and ask. From what I've seen the CS is top-notch
The "signature" models are special simply because only the first couple of production runs had the signature, so it's a cosmetic feature that isn't available anymore. Doesn't mean a whole heck of a lot other than the collect-ability aspect ;-) I missed out on getting a signature one by a month or two, myself
Congrats on the purchase!

Big Time thanks on the heads up.....went up on the website today at 5:00pm and sold out within an hour....Drew said this production has a new blue colored screen that he thinks everyone will love.
I sent an email to evolv about 2 weeks ago about a "tune up" and have not gotten an answer. I also have a signature series bought off the classifieds.
E mail again -- it's pretty rare to not get a quick answer. Do get the details of the original invoice so the warranty can be transferred to you. (Date purchased and by whom). Let Evolv know this data when you email them.
I had to send mine in for repair once and overnighted it to him. He overnighted it back to me the next day. He also upgraded the insides as it now has several notches in the arm. Meaning before it would lock straight up and closed. Now it locks in 4 places.
Close, 2 angles, and open. I love it!

That's fantastic....the locking 3 position is a feature of the latest or one of the latest revisions....just got mine a few days ago...very nice, you got a new revision feature.

I sent an email regarding the availability of the new Darwins about 3 weeks ago. Still no response. You would think as much as they cost they could at least acknowledge an email. Guess they don't need my business.
