DNA 133 vs 166?

[Hendog24]

So I just ordered a Lost Vape Therion dna 133 (you guys may have seen my fast tech Help thread).

Of course as soon as I order this I notice a Therion dna 166.

Considering I have never seen/used either chip I am at a loss. Are there any other differences other than the 33 watts?

I was waiting on the Therion 166, but with little idea how much longer the wait for release would be, I went with a Therion 133 and am perfectly happy with it. There are two differences, other than 33W. The board supports 2A usb charging up from 1A on the 133, and there is now reverse polarity protection built onto the board, so no need for those little round mechanical "protection" circles used to prevent you from inserting the batteries incorrectly. Otherwise, same thing. I decided I didn't really need those features enough to keep waiting.

Got it. Thanks for the info.

I don't charge the batteries in my mod so that doesn't really matter. I am pretty careful when inserting my batteries but that protection would be good to have.

Also, my max wattage on my lowest build is right around 120 watts so I don't need the extra watts anyway.

The 133 is still a DNA 200chip
The 167 is a DNA 250
Don't get confuse!

DNA boards are great for in mod charging. My only thought for your use is that while it will certainly handle 120w, battery life at that wattage will simply be better with a 3 battery setup. I guess it all depends on how much you vape.

I think the reverse battery protection is the most important advancement since I hear often of people frying their boards. I guess 2 amp charging is useful but I would still charge externally

I'd buy the one that looks the snazziest..

The DNA 250 board also has a beefed up fuse after some issues with the DNA 200 boards
I like the reverse battery protection being built into the chipset rather then the mechanical system on the 133 battery sled.
