Just received the XPV DNA-40D on 10/31/14, well within the lead times specified. I can’t believe the quality of this device. QA and tolerances are amazing. Incredible mod, extremely well built, buttery smooth 510 connection, light, portable, and BUILT TO ORDER for only $205. DNA40 features aside, this has got to be one of the best mods available with this chip today, and certainly well in to the future. This has instantly become my all day device. Thank you to the staff at Protovapor for this. I love it and look forward to showing it off!

Beautiful design, lightweight, compact, convenient, impeccable quality in both component choice and manufacturing and an absolutely amazing customer support system to back it up. Those are just a few of the reasons why the XPV was my choice in a DNA 40 device over any other. I won’t bother reviewing the DNA 40 chipboard since that’s an entirely different story. However, I will say that Protovapor has taken a great chipboard and built an absolutely perfect (in my opinion) mod around it.
If you’re looking for a sleek and sturdy DNA 40 device; look no further.

I have been using my XPV DNA-40D with such delight that I almost forgot to make a review (which I promised myself I would do). This device is SOLID and SICK the DNA-40 chipset/board and the Protovape casing makes this thing 100% the best vape mod on the market. I gave the guys at Protovape the lead time they needed and even emailed them to make sure they were still working with the same lead time. They were very quick and professional with their responses to me. I must insist to all that may read this to give them the time they need to QA this device…if you do, I assure you will not be disappointed. I do not work for them and live in Texas, and I have reviewed the HANA version of this chipset as well. I say with all my heart ALOHA to my new friends at Protovape. This is the most solid, pretty, and best performing vape product I have ever bought, and I have owned 10 vaping devices leading up to my last purchase….THE PROTOVAPE XPV DNA-40D…THANK YOU TO DNA-40 AND PROTOVAPE FOR MAKING THE FUTURE OF VAPING and making it easy for beginners to chase clouds or just enjoy the flavor and vibe.

Protovaper took all the lead time before sending the unit, didn’t make me happy, EXCEPT that the DNA 40 has been working flawlessly since (1.5 wks so far). After researching the ECF, found that people were having problems with the new tech. All in all, this shows me that Protovaper has taken appropriate measures to ensure we get an outstanding produce. Still didn’t like the delay, BUT the result was satisfaction for a good, working product.
Thank you Protovaper, I’ll be a repeat customer.

So Far I love this device. It’s very well built, much smaller than I thought it would be and it’s very light

I got my XPV DNA 40 at about 9am, and now, 3pm feel like I couldn’t live without it. A great lightweight device which has the nicest fire button I’ve ever used. I went with the removable pocket clip, and it came with the clip installed, but don’t think I’ll ever take it off. A few days after I ordered it the TSC for the nautilus came out so I contacted protovapor and asked if I could add a pkt to my order as I’m in Australia and shipping is expensive. The reply came within an hour, and everything was organized. A day or two later the aerotank coils came out, and again customer service helped me out. The device was shipped on boxing day and got to my letterbox this morning, 5 January, not bad for $25 shipping.
The only complaints I could make are a small gap in the clip, but that matches the join in the body, and no atty will ever sit flush as the 510 is slightly raised, but every atty I’ve tried fits and feels secure.
Someone has to say how good these DNA 40 chips are. I just ran my aerotank dry to see what happens, which is just less vapor, then refilled it and started vaping straight away, which took a few puffs to get back to speed.
To sum it up, excellent customer service, lovely mod, brilliant chip.

If you’re considering purchasing a Protovapor XPV DNA 40 take my advice – DO IT!
This is a beautifully designed mod. I’m glad I added the clip and the feet to my order. Everything about this mod is tight and right. It fits the hand, it’s light, superb finish and best of all, it works like a dream. The switches are very nice and the DNA 40 chip rocks. I was looking for a DNA 40 mod and I’m very happy I found Protovapor. Yes, it takes a while for them to make and test your device but it’s worth the wait. This mod immediately became my all day vape. Great fit with all my atties and looks sharp. These folks have responded quickly to every question I’ve asked. They back their product with excellent customer service. Buy this thing. Now. You’ll be glad you did! Thanks Protovapor for a fine product.

First I want to Thank Protovapor for the great Customer Service, I had some issues with my Mod and they took care of it right away, I could not be any more pleased, Thanks. As for the XPV DNA40 this thing rocks, I love it. If you read the other reviews you will know what I mean. If I could make only one request, it would be nice if I was able to change battery at end of charge because I hate to put this thing down! I may have to get one more, if you have the cash get two you wont be sorry!
Thanks

My husband bought this lovely unit for me and I’m thrilled! I have been running the Aspire Nautilus Mini, with aspire bvc, and nautilus mini battery. While I loved the tank I have always had an issue with finding the “sweet spot” when it came to temperature. I run max VG, but have a couple gwar flavors that are 50/50 VG/PG. Regardless of which I ran by the time I hit half a tank it would have a burned taste. Since switching to this unit and using the blue ring BVC the burned taste is a thing of the past! I finished a whole tank and the last drag was just as fresh and flavorful as the first! I LOVE THIS UNIT! My tank no longer gets overly hot during a vape session and I don’t have to bounce between two tanks just to avoid the overheating and burned taste issue. All my juice tastes as fresh as the first taste. I will be buying another unit soon so I never have to fall back to the old batteries again. It’s well worth the cost as I have not wasted one drop of juice. Before I would have to toss 1/4 of a tank because it was just burned and nasty. No more. I highly recommend this mod. And it’s easy to use too! I’m not into mods or build your own or all that stuff. I wanted easy and working. I have that in this but it has so many customizeable options that even a hard core viper would be thrilled and us non tech savvy peeps will love the easy use. Bottom line: worth every penny. Do get the special BVC though if you are running a nautilus.
