Alien 220 or G-priv 220

Good suggestion thanks… Does the DNA200 support SS?

Absolutely. Now get this. I have some serious interest in the Hohm Wrecker G2 and in fact bought one. But it bricked on update and I have it in warranty process now. Never even fired it up, can you believe that? Anyway, according to what I’ve read and some firsthand accounts here from @ozo , @Rob62 and @DrChud, this may be the mod that beats the DNA. However, the DNA200 has been an awesome device for me for over a year. Its TC functions better than any other TC mod I’ve used. There is a bit of learning curve using Evolv’s Escribe software for setting it up, but I think they’re coming pre-programmed for Kanthal, Nickel, Titanium, 316 and 316L SS nowadays. So while I’m certainly thinking the Hohm Wrecker may unseat the DNA, for me the DNA has been the Cadillac mod for a good while and yes, I highly recommend it. Ain’t that right @Pro_Vapes?:slight_smile:

I really like the Alien. I’ve got multiple DNA devices as well and they are great devices, but the Alien is no slouch. If you do go the DNA route understand you’ll need a windows computer and to spend some real time in eScribe to get the best experience from it. As an all around good, no fuss, no muss, easy setup and use device I’d take the Alien all day. It’s my daily driver mod and my DNA devices stay at home for around the house and flavor testing.

Blasphemy!!! :laughing:

Also Benny, you’re failing to mention that set up of a DNA (maybe a bit antiquated now) is a one time thing. It’s not like you need to connect to a computer all the time. In fact my last DNA mod I spent maybe 10 minutes setting it up. It’s not a hassle at all.

I’d rather break or lose a $60 setup than a $150 setup anyday! That’s just common sense. :wink:

It’s $80 on Vape NW. Back to you :thumbsup:

Once you’re familiar with eScribe I’d agree with you. When you were first learning it wasn’t a 10 minute task. And you really can spend a lot more time in there if you truly want to customize the experience. Things like messing around to nail your wattage and preheat variables along with configuring your batteries for proper readout aren’t really 10 minute beginner tasks. Yes you can alter several of these on the mod after, but really getting your base profiles down can take a bit of tweaking.

All true. You can’t do that with the Alien can you?

Learn to vapecrawler? I don’t know…you’ll have to explain what that is. Maybe I do and don’t know it. Or maybe I don’t and want to…or not want to LOL What is it?

I hear DNA this and that all the time… Never decided to pull the trigger on one until possibly now… But now you guys are giving me a complex talking about all this set up in escribe lol… So any tutorials on tweaking the. DNA200?

That was kind of my point. Alien just works when you pull it out of the box with no hassles. DNA are great but they can be perceived as complex and not be for everybody.

Good place to do some price comparison shopping.

Not trying to scare you off from DNA. Just need to be aware what you’re getting into or you might get frustrated. Here’s the eScribe training link.

Plenty of web help and also here on the forums. If you freak out over anything techy maybe avoid the DNA. I always figure if I can get it anyone can. I’m as they say not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Yes, you’re correct sir. And I hope I’ve not come across argumentative. Just a different opinion. Much love brother.

I like the H Priv myself.

I work for a software dev company, so no I won’t freak out over the tech stuff lol. But I also don’t want to spend hours and hours adjusting before I can get a good vape from it lol

Hours? No way. At the most when you first get it I could see 1 hour tops - but to set up we’re really talking about just a few minutes. There’s not that much to do. The software comes preloaded with TCR profiles unlike when I got my first one. Had to import them.

So you need to have your TCR profiles and your batteries configured. Minutes.

That sounds good I might have to bite the bullet on this one… All of my long time vape friends have a DNA mod and swear by them I’m the only one who hasn’t pulled the trigger on one yet lol

If it didn’t die on me because of no fault of my own I did like it. Still might jump on another one though the DNA mod is sounding more appealing at the moment… Just trying to consider if I might be happier with something else so all opinions are very helpful thanks!
