The DNA75 will not be as efficient as the DNA200 but when placed alongside anything else in its competing 1S - 18650/26650 driven class, I would be surprised if you find many that outlast it in battery life.
Really? I'm struggling to see a reason to buy expensive mods anymore. And I have a ton. The I stick pico works as well or better than anything expensive I have for me. Custom material works great. Nickel mode works better than the yihi v1 chip in the m class and dual boxer, which for some reason is way off and I have to use custom material,for nickel too. The Duma 200 I had was a complete disaster and even evolv said there was no issue, but it was so flaky it lit an atomizer on fire in temp control. Every resistance jumped all over. It took forever to charge.

I'm struggling with the "high end kids" lately at least for my style (mtl). I wanted a small board that was small and had less power. They didn't deliver. It needs to be 18650 or 500 and small. Not mid size. The evic mini is 1/3 the price and works well. I get that the I stick and evic are mass produced and more cheaply made. But for the price you can buy three and throw them away. Or buy one and get the next chip that's out.

Battery life I'd the dna200 was terrible for me. It retain,he didn't seem efficient.

I'm still waiting for a high end mod maker to answer the call of SMALL. He'll bring back a tube mod with advanced features and runs on a 500 cell.

I just saw the 75 boxer for pre order. Maybe it's smaller than it looks and they worked the bugs out if the 200 and therefore this will work well. I guess I'll have to wait. But so far my experience wi anything other than thendna30 chip has been incredibly disappointing. I certainly wouldn't sign up to preorder a new design. Maybe in six months when it works correctly

Just my $.02. I'm bummed they haven't done anything for size conscious people. And I had Harris with other evolv stuff. I'm hoping to be proven wrong!!

Wow! Just the opposite for me. I also vape MTL a lot. Although I do not like lipo batteries, as they are in virtually every portable device I own. Mods are where I draw the line. I want 18650 mods only. So my first Evolv mod was just last February. I stayed away before since I couldn't justify their high prices. Although now with the DNA200 with the customization and that slick device monitor, I was sold.

But those lipo DNA mods doesn't have any battery capacity. While those two and three 18650 DNA200 mods has tons of battery capacity. Almost any 18650 mod I own, I usually can MTL 5ml of juice per Samsung 25r. Even the Wismec three 18650 RX200 was the same, 15ml per charge (3 x 5ml).

But when I bought a Reuleaux DNA200 last February, those same batteries I can vape 23ml+ per charge. That is just amazing. I can vape much longer per charge than anything else out there. It is only June and I now own seven DNA200 mods and not any of them with a lipo.

Wow is right. Sounds like the company that assembled your Dna200 mod screwed the pooch. Sound like a bad connection to your 510 that you can diagnose with the tools that Evolv included in Escribe. I too had had a Hana v200 pop out of TC and give me 200w of burning juice and cotton and shortly afterward the board failed. After 5 to 7 emails with Hana ducking the warranty repair, telling me they had no record of me reporting any issue, refusing to send me an authorization RMA shipping label until I paid them a fee for the service return. I called Evolv and he sent me a new board that showed up to my house so fast he had to have shipped it the day we spoke before I ever sent him the tracking for the old boards return.

After that, Evolv actually started repairing mods that manufacturers wouldn't fix because they cared about their reputation and their customers. If your device still isn't working right, call Evolv, they will help you get your issue resolved as the Nice thing is you have a 1yr warranty on your DNA board with them. Just be respectful and realize they are trying to help you. Speaking like you wrote your post might not get your problem fixed. Evov is reportedly working on a smaller format DNA chip if the rumor is true but it probably wont work with Escribe unless they shift those functions to a separate charging board.

If you weren't happy w/ battery life on a DNA200 & a 900mah 3s lipo, A 500 cell would be very hard pressed indeed to keep up with the demands of a TC advanced vaping board driving any kind of subtank in today's day & age. I'm sure by everything you wrote, you would be very disappointed indeed.

If the I stick pico works for you, then you should stick with it.

For those of you who have a dna75 devices what settings do you have for your battery in escribe?

Right now my dx75 has the soft cut off at 3.2v which to me seems to be a tad high since the mod is cutting off at around 3.6v due to battery sag.
Set the battery cut off to the specs of your battery. A lot of 18650s have a lower cut off than 3.2v.

If the I stick pico works for you, then you should stick with it.

It was a mod that was sent to be fixed by the vendor. Couldn't be and evolv, being right down the street, couldn't diagnose the issue with their tools. Neither could reproduce the issue but I sent video of it happening over and over with various atomizers and detailed steps which were not passed to evolv afaik. Ultimately I was fed up and it was refunded.

I don't vape sub tanks. A 500 series battery lasts more than a working day for me using a mark bugs gem, cloud 1, tai fun gt2, etc

To be clear on the istick. My point is function and size are both excellent and way better temp control than I ever saw from evolv dna200. The build quality is of course not great. It's cheap. On the upside that makes it light. It will not last, that much is clear. The evic mini is a bit more sturdy but the magnets came unstuck. Both do better nickel than the default nickel setting on yihi's 350j chip. Custom tcr on the yihi chip is as good or batter than them and all three are superior to the Dna200 I had.

I'd like to see evolv kick out a small mod as I said that worked well. The 200 I tried in three mods. I returned all three due to resistance bouncing issues with low ohm builds across a plethora of atomizers. The software is awesome. But without the core function working I can't justify it. I loved the profiles though. I'd like to get one again if it worked for me.

It's entirely possible subsequent firmware have wound down the issues. The dna30 in my wae ii is a little flakey, but overall not bad and battery life is relatively good.

I apologize for the abrasive tone of my message. It wasn't intentional. In hindsight I realize I could have and should have phrased it differently. It's been a rough week or so and I hadn't realized how pissy I was until I read that back. I'm sorry.

Maybe I'll try the new boxer with the 75 chip and give evolv another shot. Ginger vaper have been excellent to me and I love the weight savings in the boxer mods. I just wish they were a bit more pocket friendly. Perhaps you can inform me of who has the smallest current gen evolv chip. I'd be looking for something smaller than the opus 200 for sure. Is the current 75 lineup evic mini Size? I'm trying to visualize given dimensions of the boxer mod. I'm someone who doesn't need more than 40 watts but I like the advanced features.


I have two m class mods. I have to say yihi imo really screwed those up,with the last couple of firmware releases. And they're ridiculously heavy. For me there are home mods and out mods. Because I don't vape sub tanks (.8-1.2 are my normal builds) I can get away with much lower battery requirements. For the dna200 I considered trying the vapor shark as it does 2a charging. If the pack is built in a requirement for me is 2a. Battery life was very poor on the dna200 mods with 1000mah lipo. Half a day - much kess than 500 series battery on dna30. And it took forever to charge.

With the current restrictions looking like they'll worsen I'm not opposed to buying a couple more good mods. But at this point I have a bunch I'm not thrilled with so I'd really like to get two or three I love.

Thanks for your feedback and again I apologize for the unintentional time of my post.

problem with that is these aren't standard lipo packs and each 18650 / 26650 has a different spec. i don't do onboard charging and regularly swap between batteries. i use escribe via virtual box on a mac and changing / uploading settings is slow. don't want to have to change it every time i swap a battery.

the LG HG2 cut off seems to be 2.5V, the DX75 came setup with a cutoff of 2.7~2.8V, can't remember. Wanted actual users to chime in.

So the manufacturer said they sent it to Evolv and they couldn't find a problem, but you really have no idea if they actually did. I know you don't want to hear this but when I started building with DNA200 I had some problems in certain attys I was using and builds I was doing that had nothing to do with the mod itself and that is when I really learned how to build, not before.

By current gen Evolv Chip I have to assume you mean DNA75 &/or a DNA200 but they both have the same mounting & DNA75 is only 5mm shorter than 200. The smallest DNA75 AFAIK is the SMY SDNA75 that is Here:https://www.fasttech.com/search?sdna75
Code MAP will drop the price down to $66.41 for the Mod and Daniel from DJ LSB Vapes was involved in the setup and programming of the project. Mine just shipped today.

They also list these: https://www.fasttech.com/search?Authentic SD Mini 75W which may be smaller, but can't speak to them.

Be warned that DNA75 is a new chip in its first iteration and as such may have issues which we are unaware of but I know of units in service with Beta Testers for close to two months now that have worked flawlessly. DNA200 is now on Hardware version 4 I believe and as such are probably more reliable. DNA200 is 90-95% efficient and DNA75 is 85% efficient.

I always thought the boxers were overpriced myself but they have a loyal following.

I set mine to the highest cutoff rating of all my batteries (2.7). That way I get the safest cutoff voltage, and gain run time.

Thanks. I think the DX came that way but somehow I figured 3.2V...I think I'm going to try lower it to about 2.8 since I'm getting a weak battery warning at around 3.5-3.6 so figured I have wiggle room

I can guarantee you it wasn't a build issue. There was a hardware fault. They never tried the steps I sent to reproduce it. I sent detailed pictures of my builds and multiple people said it was spot on. Including evolv. And I'd been building quite a while. I also dont use contact coils often because unless I'm making a true microcoil where space is a huge issue then j find I get better density with spaced coils bro that eliminated w lot of the potential issues. If they'd replicated my steps they would have seen the issue. It was tested with one atomizer or no atomizers. I sent in the problem reports exited by the software and evolv said they could tell for sure it was a 510 issue. But then when it went in the manufacturer wouldn't replace it and the one atomizer they used didn't present the issue. I don't blame evolv. I don't believe the appropriate information was passed to them. However the whole thing was such a pain in the ... and even when it was working I didn't find it to be very good for temp control. But I admit I should try more recent devices. I tried two others and they had various issues too. I'd have to go back through pages of notes and such but it was very clear some issue existed. I believe it was the 510.


Boxers are very expensive I agree. But they are unique. If you like light stuff it's great. The boxer with two batteries and titanium gem is so light. I just wish it was pocketable. The yihii chip isn't perfect. And they screwed it ui in updates. I prefer the boxer by a landslide over the m classes I own.

I'd like to get a dna75 boxer. I hope there are no issues and I need to double check dimensions. I'd take something else if he wight and size are good.


I'm sorry to report negatively on my experience but I feel it's worth noting for others. I when j r
Presented my issues several other users had he same problem. Additionally I'm not sure why everyone assumes if here's an issue you just be new to things. I'm not. And those atomizers presenting issues on the dna mod worked fantastically on about ten other devices - so it was device specific. I think s lot of people use tanks with disposable coils. - maybe that prevents seeing some issue.

I'd like to see some feedback on the new chip as is like to get one. I'll track this thread to see some of that.

Again I'm sorry about my initial tone - as I said. I'll give evolv another chance when I find a kid with their chip I want. Then hopefully I'll finding as great as everyone wake.

Thank you very much further help and links. Maybe I'll try that one ! What are the downsides of it , it's pretty inexpensive. And by current I meant 200/75. You're right.


Edit. - I bought he one you linked to. For that sale price I couldn't pass up a chance to try another current DNA chip. Hopefully I love this mod. Thanks very much.

3.3" x 1.7" x .9" is pretty good for pocketing. 4.8 oz. very pocketable from the listed dimensions. Hopefully they're on the money. It looks a little cheapie but it's not bad. And I don't care about aesthetics. It may be the perfect go out device where I don't care if it gets all scratched and such. If it goes well I may try a multiple battery dna chip. So thanks again. I don't see any silicon covers for that device anyway. But the price sure is right at $66 it's an impulse buy imo

Dude I didn't mean to say it was your build or atty. I said I had those problems and I'm not proud of it but it is true. It is a possibility in any scenario that must be pointed out. Evolv told me my overheat issue was 510 related with the hanna but since Usb communication later blew out it was replaced. Never had a problem with it again once I finally got around to soldering in the new board, so I believe I had the same issue you did.

Sounds like your company didn't send it to Evolv and you were right to get your money back. Sort of water under the bridge now, but I understand if it burns you a bit. A lot of Gen 1 DNA200s failed. No doubt about it, but my experience is Evolv stood behind them all and I respect that. We both might have the same experience with the SDNA75 mods we just bought, but I'm not worried if it fails, because I believe it will be replaced and I'll have a year from when the replacement was received on that one.

Suggested retail on the board alone is almost that (but you can get them from Protovapor for $40 I believe). For me the perfect out and about would be a DNA75 Nebox with a Glass Tank but that probably isn't gonna happen (trying to Talk Artery Vapor into Adding a Parallel product DNA75 version to the soon to be released Summa now), so for $67 for the SDNA75 is fine. I'm also building two Protovapor Silo ERMs & a side by side VTR style with some boards I bought that will wind up costing about $90ea to build. Building your own nowadays is more a labor of love of a hobby than anything else as it is certainly no longer cost effective.

Ecig.com has the VT133 for $88, so on Memorial day 20% off sale I had to pick up one of them (4th of July is coming soon enough If you are interested in a dual even though I'm not crazy about the styling of that mod. I like the size & feel of the Reuleaux better, but they are very heavy and don't travel too well in a pocket.

I'll see how the 75 you linked to and I ordered turns out. The size is good from the dimensions listed. I have a LOT of mods. Surprisingly for me I'm using the provable radius a lot. I can't say what exactly I like about it just that I seem to be using it a lot. Which is weird because u was doing all temp control and then changed. My out and about right now is this or gem + wae in 500 mode

58b272930c97236592cd44f2c2945966.jpg


I wish they had that dna75 mod in white on fast tech but no luck. For the price I'll take a black one I guess. It says five days to ship. Maybe they will get a white one in . The reason I like the dual or triple mods is because I vape mouth to Lung the dual lasts like five days for me. Something like that.

I need to sell a brand new m class I've never used. One I've used rarely. A couple provari. Several authentic tanks. All told probably about $7-800 of stuff to sell. The m class I just never use because it's too heavy for my and for a home mod I like squonking or dual batteries

What's out now for 18650 DNA mods? You mentioned the 133, is that also from the 200 base? Did they finally remove the lipo requirement? That didn't work well for most people who didn't get some kind of modular thing, especially high wattage vapers who were blowing through the battery in half a day or less.

I've been out of the loop. I was going to build the new boxer but since my spine surgeries haven't gone great my fine coordination in my hands isn't good enough for what has to be done now with the pad soldering. The new boxer kit is ALMOST a full build where the yihi dual 18650 was a few wire solders and done. The new one they didn't do any of the legwork for you. So I think the new 75 wasn't is $100+ more than the mod you linked and I bought. It's just too much for me rut niw at least until k sell more stuff. I really hope this mod is good. The review said it's sort of s rubberized finish which it didn't look like in the photos so maybe it's nicer looking in person.

I'll see how the 75 you linked to and I ordered turns out. The size is good from the dimensions listed. I have a LOT of mods. Surprisingly for me I'm using the provable radius a lot. I can't say what exactly I like about it just that I seem to be using it a lot. Which is weird because u was doing all temp control and then changed. My out and about right now is this or gem + wae in 500 mode

I wish they had that dna75 mod in white on fast tech but no luck. For the price I'll take a black one I guess. It says five days to ship. Maybe they will get a white one in . The reason I like the dual or triple mods is because I vape mouth to Lung the dual lasts like five days for me. Something like that.

I need to sell a brand new m class I've never used. One I've used rarely. A couple provari. Several authentic tanks. All told probably about $7-800 of stuff to sell. The m class I just never use because it's too heavy for my and for a home mod I like squonking or dual batteries

What's out now for 18650 DNA mods? You mentioned the 133, is that also from the 200 base? Did they finally remove the lipo requirement? That didn't work well for most people who didn't get some kind of modular thing, especially high wattage vapers who were blowing through the battery in half a day or less.

I've been out of the loop. I was going to build the new boxer but since my spine surgeries haven't gone great my fine coordination in my hands isn't good enough for what has to be done now with the pad soldering.

I trust Daniel from DJ LSB and he was involved with the SDNA75 and I don't think he would Tel people that if it wasn't a decent mod. It'll be good enough for your purposes.

VT133 is a DNA200 mod run on TWO 18650s. As such it can only reach 133w & 7.2v on a full charge since DNA200 cannot do boost. HCigar VT133 DNA 200 Box Mod | Ecig.com. You can always get a 10%off coupon for Ecig.com with a quick internet search, but the Mem day price was $70.40 w/ the 20% discount. Couldn't pass it up for that. Vapenw carries same mod for $119.99 and they are usually pretty reasonable. HCigar VT133 - Evolv DNA200. Even Fasttech charges $120 for them $120.86 Authentic HCigar VT133 133W TC VW APV Box Mod - 1-133W / 200-600F' / 2*18650 / zinc alloy at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping.

Like the ERM form factor and had to fight myself for weeks to syop myself from jumping on modcrates Blem cases for $28. Silo - 950 Enclosure REWORK REQUIRED

Did the vt133 fix the shortcomings if the vt200? Jury one if the big ones was the 510 was not stainless steel. I'm trying to recall. I did so much research on the 200 mods before and after I bought the opus they all kind of blend together.
The later VT200 used stainless steel 510 instead of brass. No they didn't make the same mistake with the VT133. That one was always stainless steel. I love those VT133 myself. As whatever finish they use, they are tough. I loved my first one so much, I bought three more. Even after four months, they still look brand new. And they are also one of the easiest mods to swap batteries. Why can't all mods be as easy?
