I tried to explain this a while ago to somebody that said watts doesn’t matter with TC.
I noticed with DNA 200 I vape in a wide range of temps and watts. I feel it’s dependent on the juice. Yesterday I vaped all day at 92W and 480F. I changed juice today and I’m vaping at 45W and 380F. Yesterday I vaped fruits and today tobacco. I’m not using this TCM nothing like my other TCMs. I use to run my other TCMs flat out on Temp and 100+ watts.
Keep in mind it’s three 1300mah batteries. I also have the efusion like @SthrnMixer, but right now I have a 0.3ohm dual spaced coil Ti build using 30AWG Titanium and hemp wick in a Billow V2 shorty. So, by comparison my setup is on a different end of the spectrum. I am running <40W and I am very impressed. I like everything about it. Compared to the IPV3 LI, I think the temperature control works about the same. The difference is the thing hits HARD compared to the IPV3 LI.
As far as feel goes, it’s solid, small, pretty, and the buttons are friggin exquisite. Like@Pro_Vapes I hated my Smok, but got no credit and spent no time coming up to speed on it My purchase was an impulse buy and this mod is going to be great for travel. I hate having to pack batteries and a charger.
For all day, I would want something with replaceable batteries so I can change them out and keep chuckin. But as far as functionality and experience goes. . .I’m with @Pro_Vapes, no more Chinese crappola for me. My time is worth more than the price difference and it is OH so much more enjoyable to tinker with. I dont mind paying for the efusion at all. . .it’s friggin rad. The Cube 2 isnt even fit for testing. I’ll stick to my mech mod for that.

[/quote] for me titanium dose not even start to really work until you get below.1 like .06 .3 is about as high as you can fire titanium on some devices and .1 on others there is a good decision going on about tc titanium on this site and for some reason the lower the build in temp the longer the battery life
How com it is that cheap. On most other sites, it is prized from 169 to 174 USD.
It’s at $169 on other sites because it’s the MSRP. The vendor I bought from is selling at what he thinks is fair price. But Hcigar has voided the 1yr warranty for them not selling it at the MSRP. I have a 30 day vendor warranty on two of the three I have. I don’t have problem with that. Some DNA 200 mod makers only offer a 90 day warranty anyway.
I have the effusion 200 by lost vape and the volcano 200 waiting on the cloudmaker white out. The battery life is under believable. I don’t know if I could do mechanical again
I hope you meant to say unbelievable… my Hcigar DNA 200 has been off the charger for 5 hrs and I’ve only used 1\4 of the battery…
Thank you for the reply. It makes sense. Pitty I dont have the Money now. At that price I would have bought it in a HeartBeat 
Witch I already have two off. So I trust Hcigar to make solid mods.
Yes I meant unbelievable, I will admit, the one I have my dropper on (lavabox, 900 3s) does not last quiet as long, buts still fan freaking tastic
After three days I finally used one of other TC mods… but the DNA 200s are hard to put down. The future of vaping looks very bright. Just think… one day this type of TC mod will be standard issue.
What are your thoughts or anyone else with the expertise on leaving a mod with LiPo batteries on the charger while using? I am at my desk at my home office all day and have been keeping it plugged in. I just wonder if that’s ok or a bad idea.
Built in passthrough is all good. The batteries are replaceable. As long as you don’t feel excessive heat, it’s cool. No pun intended.
I do the same.
As far as I understand LiPos take a few charge cycles to “break in” - In the beginning the charges don’t last as long - but after a few cycles they do 
That’s what I read, anyhow. After that, I don’t see a problem with using passthrough
MSPR is just what it says it is suggested resale price try and get around that a federal law out there called price fixing manufacturers can not tell anyone what to sell something for high or low now if it’s a clone then obviously a totally different story a couple of the other Chinese Firms have played that game communist China they get away with it you can’t take them to court
Let’s get this thread back on track. @Pro_Vapes started the thread to open a discussion about the DNA200.
After using mine for a week I will say this. Until and only until something better comes along, I personally won’t be buying another mod that is not a DNA200. My foray into TC started off nicely, then I hit snags with a mod, then I got another good one, then the DNA200 and finally one was sent to me for review. Even the “good” ones I have are not even in the same league as this mod. It’s simply the best there is.
@daath was kind enough to share with me what he had heard about the “break in” period for LiPo batteries, so for now I am draining my Efusion off charge until fully depleted then doing a full recharge which takes 2-1/2 hrs roughly. That is the time I’m using my other stuff. Otherwise I keep that DNA200 pumping. And like Pro Vapes, I find Ti wire to be superior when it comes to temperature control. Even in my non-DNA200 mods it’s better, but on the 200 — wow! So solid. Every hit on it is exactly the same. When you fire it there’s none of that I wonder how it will hit this time jazz, it’s going to work 100 times out of 100 just the way you have it set.
i was one of those that bashed Evolv about the price of the DNA mods. But I can say this the best vape investment I’ve made… and Ti wire.
It’s still weird vaping at 50W in TC where other TC-mods would be at ~80W… I am enjoying it though 
That’s old thought not true .charging one and not letting it cool or rest like so called pass through on high draw devices no such thing that will cut back on life and damage the battery the battery and the charger creates the most heat at 70 /95% charge that is were the battery is getting max amp charge tapers off and if you check you will find that to be true that is why it is recommended to allow the battery to cool before charging and being used to charge fully
Haha, I just turned up to 40W…the DNA seems to hit MUCH harder right off and then just like has been said…dead nuts each time. Battery life forever and the size is pocketable.
I just bought 75 flavors to play with, but I’ll be getting at least 2 more by the end of the year…and I’m developing a bit of a crush on the Billow V2 with the short stack and the 30ga dual Ti build I’m using. I just love it on this mod. Probably need a few more of those too. It sucks to fill, but I prefer it to the crown or the TFV4 so far…and I am not sure why.
