XPV production delays resolving

It has been a while since the last update. We have been kept intensely busy with the first run of XPV DNA-200D mods. Over the last few weeks we have been dealing with illnesses in the office, which had put production back significantly. At this time we have cleared out almost all the backlogged orders and will be current within a few days.

XPV colors restocked

We are now fully stocked on case colors for XPV DNA-200Ds. This run of colors is slightly darker and richer than usual. As we run out of pristine cases, as you may have seen, we offer blemished cases in the same colors for a discount. If you would like to order blemished but don’t see it listed, Contact Us. Order here:

XPV DNA-200D XC official announcement

Looking over the last update, we mentioned we would officially announce the XC model soon and never did. We are happy to officially introduce the XPV DNA-200D Extended Capacity model, a 2600maH version of the XPV DNA-200D. It is the same dimensionally as the original model, but is 50mm longer. It is powered by 3x 18650 batteries. Order yours here:

Genuine Evolv 510 connectors now available

We are now carrying Evolv’s 510 connector, which is a heavy-duty 22mm connector specifically designed for the needs of super high wattage temperature control applications. We will be adding backing nuts and ring terminals shortly.

Upcoming

As you may have heard, a severe screen shortage has hit the DNA-200D ecosystem and supplies are dwindling fast. We will strive to keep the boards in stock as long as possible, however quantity price breaks will go away temporarily as stock trends toward 0. Price breaks will be restored when we restock.

Protovapor will be on vacation 11/26 – 12/4. During this time the shipping schedule will reduce and may pause entirely. Lead times for mods will be adjusted accordingly as the date approaches.

Hits keep coming

Unfortunately we have encountered several more issues affecting production, the most significant of which is that one of our production CNC mills went down. Repair parts are due in Monday. This has caused an additional delay in fulfilling initial orders, though we have been working on them through the weekend and intend to get them out as soon as machine-assisted-humanly possible.

On the better news side, we have received the new color cases and will soon be offering black, grey, gold, green, dark blue, and red options. We will also be offering two-tone as an option.

Producing of XPV DNA-200Ds proceeds, colors imminent

We are currently a few days behind on production of the XPV DNA-200D mods, as optimizing designs and processes for production has taken longer than expected. We have closed ordering temporarily until we get things more settled, we expect ordering to reopen before the end of the week. Our goal is to have all mods ordered this far shipped out by the end of the week.

Color case options are expected to arrive at the end of this week, and we will likely make them available early next week.
