The DNA 40 does not stop when it hits the temp limit. It simply reduces power to ensure the temperature doesn't rise beyond the limit.

It does stop it gives a temp reached error and no longer heats the coil

It's not an error it is just a notification but it keeps on running at lower wattage
That's not correct. Despite the fact that it displays "temperature protected", it still continues to deliver current, albeit at a reduced wattage.
Correct.
An even easier test is to set the wattage at max (40W), thereby basically guaranteeing that you'll hit temperature protection. Take a puff and notice that it doesn't shut off.
Aal is right it does continue to run and the moment it senses the coil temp dropping it increases power to maintain the temperature the user set. Apparently it checks coil temp a thousand times a second and varies the power to maintain it. Priority is heat up time so if you set the lowest temp 200 F and say 8 watts it will actually fire at much higher power to achieve a fast coil temp and then regulate down to whatever is needed to maintain temperature. You can however set both temp and Watts.
Despite the fact that Brandon and John from Evolv beat us (and I mean GG of course) to the market with the temperature control I want to congratulate them and wish them much success with the DNA-40. I believe they did a fine job with the chip. I can now tell you that back in 2011 over coffee in Athens Greece Imeo shared with me a new idea he had of instead of controlling voltage or wattage he plans to design a chip to control the temperature of the coil and regulate it. He said imagine no more dry hits, no burnt taste.
Sadly Imeo doesn't have the resources that Evolv have and probably that was instrumental in determining who crossed the finish line first in the race to temp control. Anyway I don't mean to be negative towards the fine folks at Evolv, besides I have no idea when they conceived the idea, I just wanted to let you know that Imeo told me all this back in 2011 and frankly I thought he's dreaming at the time.
What's important is that there are some great minds around making vaping safer for the newcomers getting into vaping.

Nice conversation guys and thanks a lot for all the info you provided to me.
As I said before, temperature control is only one thing that VIR can do. The rest will be shown on a video that will be done by me in 2 weeks. Until then, lets stay on topic, that is VIR.
Thank you

Looking forward to the new video in 2 weeks. I hope it's not another 8 minute wall of text though
For the record, the reason I responded with details about the DNA 40 is that you asked a specific question about whether the DNA stops powering the coil when the temp limit is reached and the initial responses you received were flat out wrong (despite being from one of the first reviewers!?)

you did well dil, thanks a lot for the info. I hope that in 2 weeks I will impress you.

I have a dna 40 coming and will also purchase vir cannot wait to compare em

They are the same only on controlling temperature 67. All the other functions of VIR doesnt exist on DNA.
I know it might to early and you don't want to give away any secrets at this point in time Imeo but when you feel its appropriate a run down of all the functions that VIR will have would be great. Just thinking will this chip have firmware upgrades lol thanks Adam
