So i was just having a read up on reddit. Seems the DNA 200 couldn't have come at a better time.
Their will also be a DNA 200 variant of the Cloudmaker on launch and will be priced the same as the SX350J version (Supposedly under 199 USD)
Which one would you pick?
Here's the original post from user returnity on Reddit:
"We were sure announcing the Cloudmaker Whiteout pre-order launch date for 7/1/15 would be the biggest CMT news of the week… But then Evolv dropped their DNA200 bombshell not even 48 hours later! You have to love this industry — it never stops moving, like a Vaporshark, always swimming. Since we’ve been striving to offer the ultimate in user-configurable PVs, it greatly inspires us to see Evolv is thinking along similar lines with their new DNA200 chip. It made my day to see us mentioned several times in the ECR thread discussing the DNA200’s customizability too! You guys have been awesome supporters and we never forget that this project was born from this community, for this community! If you're unfamiliar with the Cloudmaker Whiteout, check out our facebook for pics, info from our previous updates, and more -- our website will be live next week!
Whiteout DNA
Since Evolv is an American company, designing & producing their chips in the US, the prospect of working with them was too good to ignore. Yesterday we called up Brandon to discuss Evolv’s DNA200 plans and get more specifics on their design, particularly their new focus on customizability and their power requirements. We are thrilled to announce that the Cloudmaker Whiteout will be among the first DNA200 devices on the market, and our pre-sale launch will include the Whiteout DNA configuration!
The DNA200 launch could not have come at a better time for us — it’s the perfect opportunity to demonstrate how our modular chassis is capable of accepting a new cutting-edge chip that we were not aware of in advance of our design,proving that the Whiteout can really be future-proof. Not only that, Evolv’s OS and software has monitoring functions and capabilities for interface customization, TC maps, and data-logging that tinkerers will enjoy, as well asoffering unprecedented battery safety for LiPo in PV applications. It’s this kind of socially-responsible design we should expect from an American vape company with a reputation like Evolv’s, and we’re proud to be able to offer their new DNA200 chip in our PV. We’ve been working around the clock to make sure that our Whiteout delivers on our vision of giving vapers creative control over as many aspects of their PV experience as possible, and it’s an incredible feeling to be this close to actually putting it into production!
So what does this mean for the pre-order coming up on July 1st?
Buyers will have the choice of pre-ordering the Whiteout DNA, with the DNA200, the Whiteout SX, with the SX350J, and the Whiteout OS, with our own completely open-source, community-programmable Ares chip. The Whiteout DNA and Whiteout SX will be priced similarly (MSRP under $199). We’re still carefully selecting our LiPo battery supplier, after which final pricing will be announced.
Based on what we’ve been told by Brandon at Evolv about the chip production & release schedule, we expect to deliver the Whiteout DNA pre-order units in approximately the same time-frame as the Whiteout SX unitsafter pre-orders start. This means the Whiteout DNA will be among the first DNA 200 devices on the market! We are still moving full steam ahead with our affordable, open-source, user-programmable Ares chip for the Whiteout OS, but just as a reminder, properly completing final development & beta-testing on that chip means those devices will shipafter the SX & DNA models are produced. If you pre-order a Whiteout DNA or SX, rest assured that you’ll be able to get an affordable build kit to swap over to the Ares chip simply and safely, without the need for soldering or serious technical experience.
Other News
I’m putting together another post for later this week to explain the full details of our pre-order launch promotion on July 1st, including a livestream event demonstrating the Whiteout SX, giveaways/promos, and more! On a related note, in that post I’ll also be announcing the public launch of the Cloudmaker subreddit, where we’ll be able to offer content like how-to guides, new build kits/requests, customization tips & tricks, and even contests for the coolest custom Whiteout or best OS code module idea every month, voted on by our community! This way we can keep you posted on the pre-order units’ production process on a regular basis as well as get feedback from the community on which panel kits, build kits and mods should be made first.
Finally, one other important note -- our website will be live on June 23rd, so you can finally share our link around rather than having to try and explain the project yourself to everyone you tell! We know it’s taken quite some time, but we’ve always prioritized hardware development and testing over a shiny website. However, once it was time for a website, we knew we needed to design a properly classy one, and it’s turned out really nicely. Just waiting on a couple more images and bits of content this week!
Thanks for sticking with Cloudmaker all this way to the finish line!"

. "Heavy breathing" 
), do you think they will offer an upgrade like they did from the old Dna to the rDNA? That would literally make my week. Forget week, it would make my month
