Imgur version of post, here:
The above is the first of 7 charts/states tested and does not represent overall performance - follow link for full report and analysis, or the TLDR summary. See a full list of mods tested so far, at the end for comparison.
TLDR: One has to conclude that the older dna board is smoother, more accurate and overall a bit better for TC than this newer "C" edition board, which is a surprising outcome. It is a lot easier to use out-of-the box though, with a nice colour screen and all the settings you would want available without connecting to a PC. Unlike the original dna Boards there is no need to change the material profile for an accurate result - the older boards do require escribe updating with a steam engine material profile for SS316L to get the best from them in my opinion. This is still a great board, a great mod, and a great option for SS316L TC; close to gold standard, but it may not be as good as a dna 167 mod under the same conditions (see ). It could also be said that Arctic Fox/Red Panda flashed mods are giving this board a real run for its money. The Geekvape nuvoton powered mods are arguably as good, perhaps even smoother/more accurate on some of these tests. Compare for yourself, here: Arctic Fox (stock) powered Eleaf iStick Pico 75: Geekvape Aegis Solo (stock): DNA 75 and 167 boards running Steam Engine 316L.csv are still the gold standard; perhaps surprisingly, we do not appear to have a new winner here.

The following represents the results of temperature control testing of the LostVape Centaurus DNA 250C, using the latest stock settings from escribe, SS316L material profile and set to 120W of power. The conditions of each test are shown in the title of each graph. A perfectly accurate temperature control result is the red line matching the yellow line.
