Lost Vape is generally a well respected brand. Use the Evolv dna chip, arguably the best chip in the business. Having said that, I've never had or used one. My daughter's BF has used one for about a year and recently had to return his back to the manufacturer for a processor issue. Other recomendation would be for the Jac Vapour series b dna 75W. I'm a 7 year vaper who has used over a dozen mods and this baby ranks in the top two. In fact i use two as my daily drivers.
I like mine alot. Solid build quality and I've had it apart to see the attention to detail within as well. That said, a few things to consider with any DNA device.
If you're going to run simple power mode, I don't really see the point in an advanced circuit like the 250C. Many others will do that fine for less money.
The DNA boards famously do outstanding TC and replay is an actual thing. It really works, the controversy over whether it actually is a form of TC or not notwithstanding.
TC is not necessarily super simple to setup with DNA driven devices and Escribe will almost certainly be needed. Replay IS super simple to setup and does not require Escribe.
Speaking of Escribe, if you love tinkering, you will LOVE Escribe. You can tweak and twiddle with just about literally EVERYthing.
Again, if you're going to just run power mode, I don't really see the point. I mean you'll get spot on resistance sampling and spot on power delivery to the coils, which is a thing, but how necessary is surgical accuracy in those two areas to get a good vape out of a wattage device? It can be off a bit and still work fine. Just my 2 cents.

this was not my experience. I bought DNA “C” systems because I wanted replay since I was not getting particularly useful TC behavior out of non DNA systems. What I found when I had them in hand was that the normal DNA TC “just worked” and I didn’t have to do any messing around with evolv software at all. I did download it, but only to mess with what info I wanted displayed. It turned out I didn’t need replay, I just needed DNA. After I got more comfortable with DNA TC I was able to make TC work on my ageis stuff. It’s not as good as the DNA stuff, particularly at very low wattage, but I got it to function mostly reliably which I had not really been able to do before.
That's why I said "not necessarily." Maybe it's because i got into Escribe and started playing right away too. I run mostly titanium in TC and the DNA devices I have do it fabulously. Since I tried replay though, I just left it there. It's perfect.
Interestingly, my Nova does good TC and my Aegis legend does not. The AL is just "off." With the same settings even as in the Nova it is wildly different and not consistent. They're supposed to be the same chip so go figger.
My SX Mini G-Class also does killer TC. The VK530 does good TC with a TCR adjustment. The Smoant Cylon does really good TC (and better with the firmware upgrade). As does the Modefined Lyra. Believe it or not, the new Smok Morph does good TC also.
My point to this fella was, a DNA circuit is expensive overkill for simple wattage vaping in my opinion.
Use a Paranormal daily – solid device. But understand what you are paying for is the DNA board – the mod, although well built, is just another Chinese mass produced shell.
Personally, the cost of admission into a DNA equipped device is worth it if you are into regulated devices. Even just using wattage mode, I feel it excels over many of the Chinese boards. It is accurate and extremely efficient.
Replay is not temperature control, but a simplified feature to mitigate dry burns using similar functionality of reading the rise in resistance like TC. Works very well but a TC compatible coil is still needed.
Temp Control on a DNA board is second to none. The 250c has the ability to read down to a ten -thousandths of an ohm, whose resolution allows for a much more accurate Temperature Control. You also have the ability to use TFR (Temperature Factors Of Resistance). When heated, a metals rise in resistance does not follow a linear curve - the progression changes depending on the resistance. By using a TFR curve, the device can more accurately calculate the temperature of the coil. TFR curves can be created within Steam Engine’s Wire Wizard application, exported as a CSV file, then uploaded to the DNA device through the Escribe software. Super easy!
Also by using Escribe, you can ensure your device is kept up to date. New and updated Service Packs are released when needed, and if your device is out of date, Escribe will inform you of the new update – no need to be searching for FW updates.
Escribe also employs a Theme editor with hundreds of pre-developed themes to be found on the Escribe forums. Or if creative, you can develop your own. Want to see the actual current draw on the batteries instead of the useless current draw of the coil as found on many Chinese devices, it can be accomplished through the Theme Editor.
Many other functions to Escribe such as the Device Monitor which allows you to see how your coil, mod and even batteries are performing in real time.
People said everything about this device. I would like to add only that I really love mine. Second to none, a really must for any vaper, in my opinion.
Good post you had there, but I do have to say that for build quality I think the Paranormal 250C is a level above your average 50 or 60 dollar Chinese mod. The structural joints are metal in metal, the screws are high quality and the tapping smooth. Good heavy gauge wiring with solid solder joints too.
If there's one area I wish Evolv would step up a bit, it's the screen. While not terrible, it's not the greatest either.
I can't argue with this for discriminating vapors. There is a discernible difference in vape quality and consistency to be sure. For the non enthusiast who is just looking to get a good vape in a cost effective manner, I still think it's overkill.
I do not think the quality is poor - but if you remove the DNA board, what do you have? Just another cast Zink alloy Chinese mod, which if it was stuffed with a Chinese made board, it's cost would be the same as the hundreds of other devices coming out of China. Not saying that is a bad thing, just bringing it to light so the OP is aware of what they are paying for.
Don’t think one has to be an enthusiast to appreciate a DNA based device. One could find value in the great track record for longevity along with support from Evolv. Not to mention should the board go south; replacements are plentiful and easy to find. Nearly 4 years after its introduction you can still buy DNA 60 board’s and replacement screens, along with the all of Evolv’s newer models. Can’t say the same for the latest AS, Axon, Gene, Omni chips. And we are not talking a huge invenstment….at least with the Lost Vape DNA devices. For myself, less than 2 weeks of not smoking and the device has already paid for itself.
I have a Paranormal and I love it. Best mod I’ve used, looks great too. Can’t go wrong with the DNA250C. Worth the little bit extra compared to a cheaper mod I reckon.
