I can't wait to see these in the flesh. Once lost vape pops out a DNA75C or even better 167C, that'll probably be my next purchase lol. The ability to tweak right on the mod is a huge thumbs up.

If you watched that video with Phil they were playing with a demo Therion 75c, so it will drop pretty soon. Same frame, just different cutouts for the screen and buttons (also in a black frame so maybe the silver will be the LE style down the road ;) ).There are also photos of that hcigar floating out there, but the aesthetics are just not for me.

Anyone know if the efficiency of the new DNA75C is the same as the old? If I remember right like 86%

That new VT75 is pretty fancy pants but that blue....hmmmm

My understanding is it's more like a DNA60 with a color screen and should share those specs otherwise.

Now just need to wait for a DNA60c-small screen to rebuild my old DNA40 Zero clone.

Given they're keeping the black frame from the 167, I hope they offer some of the nicer backs like the snakeskin ones out now. What I really want is that Therion as a 167c. Then they can empty my wallet another time. I keep feeling like I'm getting my milk money taken off of me every few weeks.:facepalm:

I know the feeling. Everytime I get something new I find something else I can't live without.

What I need is dna 166c on Therion ss polish (without any paint on frame since the main problem of therion is a paint) with stabilized wood batterai cover lol. Is the wiring is harder than dna 75?

The wiring should be the same but you need different cutouts for the screen and extra button. Interesting you're having paint problems with the black frame. Mine still looks like new, and that's with some pocket carry, and i haven't read about any finish problems on it.

Promised myself I was done..... I have enough mods to last me a lifetime..... Nothing could persuade me to change my mind!

OK just one more :)
Colour screen and on board customisation is enough to pull me back in, very nice improvements for the DNA board! 75 Watts is more than enough for me and the battery life from parallel dual 18650 is a big plus for the Therion. Now to decide black or silver frame? :?:

9v on a DNA75! Finally...no more weak battery errors after one vape lol.
This 9V crap is a limitation of batteries, not the chip. You are having low battery warnings because these are single cell devices (or rather NOT series because you can put in parallel batteries like the Therion DNA 75). Pushing that much voltage on a boost converter draws so much amperage out of the battery that you have huge voltage drops. Evolv has simply limited you to not being able to drop voltage down to the range under load that you'll damage the cell. If you want 9Vs you ain't gonna want a DNA75c or otherwise because it's a single cell device. Buy a DNA 200/250 board (in 133 trim if you want) and you can do the 9V without the huge voltage drops due to the series setup. You'll STILL run outta battery in a major hurry if you're trying to push high voltages through it, it's just a highly inefficient way to generate wattage - kinda like towing a large trailer with a 4 banger reved up to 5000RPM.

Wait for the 250c in 166 trim (i.e. dual 18650) if you're really concerned with battery life. Parallel helps because you have two batteries you're drawing from and halving the voltage drop, but it's still dropping below the safe levels Evolv allows much quicker when boosting wattage upward instead of bucking it down. Instead, the series setup of a DNA 250 at 7.4V nominal (with dual 18650s) bucking down to the 3-6V you're probably wanting to run will improve battery life tremendously. The 75 is my favorite chip by them because I like the size of a single cell, but it's not their most battery efficient by a long shot.
