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.
Lost Vape Centaurus DNA250C
The Centaurus is the latest DNA 250C-powered mod by Lost Vape. It is a dual-18650 mod that’s capable of 200 watts and comes with the accurate TC capabilities of its chipset. While obviously taking cues from the Paranormal mod, the Centaurus features a series of design updates—including a practical battery latch mechanism.
Dovpo Odin DNA250C
Dovpo collaborated with two of the hottest names in vaping, Vaperz Cloud and the Vaping Bogan, and came out with possibly the best dual-21700 mod on the market. The Odin mod is capable of 200 watts, features a 0.96-inch TFT color screen and comes with all the bells and whistles of the DNA250C chipset.
Dovpo Mono SQ DNA75C
The Dovpo Mono SQ is powered by the DNA75C chipset. It was designed in collaboration with Signature Tips with ergonomics in mind. The mod is constructed from aluminum alloy and its shape makes it very comfortable to grip. Powered by a single 18650, it provides precise temp control and wattage vaping.
Dovpo Odin Mini DNA75C
The Odin Mini is the single-battery, DNA75C edition of the Dovpo Odin. Same as the original Odin, the Mini is a collaboration between Dovpo, Vaperz Cloud, and the Vaping Bogan. It is an impressively lightweight mod that can accommodate 26 mm atomizers without overhang. Powered by a 21700, the Mini is rated for 75 watts.
Dovpo Top Gear DNA250C
The fourth Dovpo product in this list, the Top Gear is a dual-18650 mod that houses the DNA250C chipset. The Top Gear is a boxy but lightweight mod that can fit up to 26 mm atomizers without overhang. It comes with a classy design and high-quality construction, making it a direct competitor to Lost Vape’s DNA 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.
- 2015 – DNA200: introduced firmware upgrades and raised the wattage limit to 200 watts.
- 2016 – DNA75: limited to 75 watts, it brought down the manufacturing costs.
- 2016 – DNA250: raised the wattage limit to 250 watts and added various features.
- 2016 – DNA60: an updated DNA40 board with EScribe compatibility.
- 2017 – DNA75C: a colored screen and various updates to the DNA75 board.

- 2018 – DNA Go: an EScribe compatible board made for pod-systems.
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.
You can also take Evolv’s introductory course on EScribe, which features full narration and detailed categorized slides (note that Chrome browser will not display the slides properly.)
