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 – DNA250C: a colored screen and various updates to the DNA250 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.)
