Will I need to upgrade from my DNA40?

Hi Folks,

Have been starting vaping with TC device for a couple of days... And I Love it.

But then I thought... Hey I loved the DNA200 too... But will I upgrade? Don't know.

Tell you what. About 1 second after I click the button, a 0.3 ohm coil ni200 wire goes into temp protection, and i am vaping at 450F, the watts are about 20w.

So it kicks in at 20w, heats up to 450, then TC comes into play, stop the power and then goes down to 10w or so if i keep sucking and keep pressing.

My question is, with a 0.3ohm coil i can go down to 0.1 with the hana, then i have also headroom to go up to 40w.

The bottom limit of builds seems to be in the range of 0.05, but what is the difference since the Liquid safe vaping temperature is way below the range of temperature that those devices and even my device are capable of producing?

I never tried but do you think i might change my mind if i try a dual coil nichel build at 0.05 ohm with a 200w device that pushes the coil at 100w for 0.3 seconds before the... Same temperature i reach now?

Ok there are features i like in dna200 but now? If i think about it they are all not related to wattage, like coil profiles, vaping curves, battery stats, pc sybc etc...

Of course if you plan to go heavy on kanthal then i agree, more wattage is better..

What do you think?

The DNA40 chip doesn't like resistances below 0.1ohm in TC, and adjusts the power automatically to account for low resistance. Some of the more modern chips operate down to 0.05ohm, meaning they will fire at full power without any automatic adjustment. Being able to build down to 0.05ohm means dual nickel coils become realistic without having to have 15 wraps on each side.

Overall the DNA40 chip does what it does well, but eventually you're going to want to upgrade to take advantage of new features of other devices.

Hi,

Well i am now on a 0.31 ohm single coil nichel build using 32 gauge wire.

That would be 0.15 ohm dual coil build, not that bad!

But thanks for the advice :) i'll see how many improvements and see if those fit me!
