Evolv’s DNA boards are powering some of the most accurate and well-made vape mods the market has to offer. A temperature-control vaper’s dream, a DNA-powered device also offers a wide degree of customization with the use of the EScribe software. If you are after a tailor-made vape experience, you can literally tweak and modify every aspect of your puff!
This list features our favorite 250C and 75C DNA-powered mods in the market right now. Keep reading for a brief history of the DNA board and our tips that will guide you in the right direction for learning how to use the EScribe software.
DNA mods are still the best option for temperature control, but if you want a reliable vape at a fraction of the price, take a look at box mods and high-wattage mods.

What is a DNA board?
Evolv’s DNA boards are widely considered some of, if not the most accurate box mod chipsets available. Starting in 2012 with the Darwin, the first variable wattage device to ever hit the market, continuing with the introduction of temperature control with their DNA40 board in 2014, and introducing Replay mode with their DNA75C and DNA250C boards in 2018, Evolv has drastically shaped the way we use our vape setups.
Evolv didn’t just invent the concept of temperature control, but is still after all these years considered the benchmark for TC performance. Simply put, if you are a TC vaper you need a DNA-powered device.
Here is a timeline with the highlights of Evolv’s history:
- 2010 – The Darwin: the first variable wattage device to ever hit the market.
- 2014 – DNA40: the first ever TC-capable chipset.

What is the EScribe software?
One of the most distinguishing features of the DNA boards is their customizability through the use of dedicated software. EScribe is by far the most advanced vape-related software available and allows for a very in-depth control over a wide array of parameters, from simple profile and theme creation to every imaginable vape experience micro-adjustment.
This 32-page manual by Evolv will get you started with EScribe – it was written with the DNA200 board in mind but most info will also apply to newer boards.
