Evolv DNA75 and DNA200 Mods Guide – Plus Recommended DNA Mods
Introduction To Evolv DNA75 and DNA200 Chips
Evolv are one of the largest chip manufacturers on planet when it comes to vaping equipment.
Many mods are powered by an Evolv chip or a version of it, the most popular being the DNA series.
A huge number of mods from budget range to high end are powered by the DNA30 or DNA40 chip.
More recently Evolv have made huge waves within the industry with their DNA75/DNA200 chips as well as the recent release of the DNA75C colour screen.
Alongside the DNA60 and DNA250 chips, they are intended to replace the now discontinued DNA30 and DNA40 chips, which are slowly being phased out.
Here we are taking a look at the DNA75 and DNA200 chips, how they perform, how to use it, and the best DNA75 / DNA200/250 mods available today.
?What Is The Evolv DNA75 / DNA200 Chip
The DNA200 is one of the most powerful chips available to date. The DNA75 is virtually the same chip, just optimized for lower wattage usage.
It also features a programmable LED light for the power button, which does look cool!
The DNA75 tends to use a single 18650, dual 18650 or a single 26650 battery.
Most DNA200 vape mods are powered by Lipo batteries or three 18650 batteries in order to reach their full potential. There are dual 18650 DNA200 mods but these are limited to 133W.
Both offer you a huge amount of customisation options through the eScribe software, downloadable from the Evolv website onto your Windows PC.
The official tagline from Evolv on the DNA75 chip states-
The DNA 75 is a power regulated digital switch-mode DC-DC converter for personal vaporizers.
It features Evolv’s patented Wattage Control, Patent Pending Temperature Protection, Preheat, Digital User Controls, OLED Screen, Onboard Buttons and Synchronous Rectification for maximum battery life and minimal heat generation.
The DNA 75 runs from a single cell lithium polymer battery. The USB port and Evolv’s EScribe software can be used to monitor and customize the user experience. The DNA 75 is vaping down to a science.

eScribe and Using The DNA75/DNA200 Chip
The DNA75 and DNA200 chips are virtually identical and are used in much the same way.
Initial usage of a mod with a DNA75 chip couldn’t be easier.
Hit the power button to wake your device up
5 clicks of the power button will lock and unlock the device.
Up and down buttons will change wattage and temperature limit settings
The power button will fire your atomiser.
Whilst it is locked, holding the up and down buttons for 5 seconds will put it into stealth mode which dims the screen.
Holding the up and down buttons for 2 seconds will lock in your current power setting so that it can’t be accidentally changed.
Both DNA chips automatically read resistance accurately. However, if you would like to lock in the resistance, hold down the fire and up buttons.
The screen on a DNA device will be the same size regardless, and it’s a large OLED screen, you can customise the information displayed on the screen through eScribe.
By default, wattage/temperature, battery level, voltage output and resistance are displayed.
When you connect a new atomizer, the DNA chip will ask if it is a new coil or the one you used previously, and it will automatically read the resistance for you.
You can save 8 of your favourite preset settings through eScribe, and these can be accessed by power locking the device then double clicking the up or down button to scroll through them.
eScribe is where the real fun is with the DNA chips.
It is by no means mandatory, you can use a device with a DNA chip in it out of the box without using eScribe, but by using eScribe you can customise your device.
You do need a Windows PC, and the latest eScribe software from the official Evolv website. Not great for MAC users but at the time of writing that’s how it is!
By connecting your device to your PC with a compatible USB cable, pretty much anything you can think of can be configured here.
From screen graphics, to what information is displayed on the screen, the optimum battery settings, and a whole host of information available on how your device is performing.
You can also customise the pre-heat of your device, which provides a selected power boost in temperature control mode, and even customise 8 different profiles to pre-load onto your device and access quickly on the move.
By entering the coefficient information for a particular temperature control wire, you can ensure your DNA mod performs optimally well with pretty much any TC wire!

Evolv also have the Escribe Training Simulator that provides a step by step ‘how to’. That can be found here

Recommended DNA75 Mods
The DNA75 chip is quite new to market, however there are some extremely good mods already available with this chip.
I’ve listed the best DNA75 mods available today, which won’t break the bank either!
Jacvapour Series B DNA75
One of the cheaper DNA mods on the list but still a device that oozes quality. The Jacvapour Series B DNA75 is available in a black PVD finish, a beautiful mod.
The Series B is powered by a single 18650 battery and is one of the most compact DNA devices currently available.
A superb mod from one of our favourite UK companies.

Lost Vape Paranormal DNA75C
Another Lost Vape mod and another quality device. We are big fans of Lost Vape devices, they just scream quality and class. The Paranormal adds to this with familiar aesthetics but with the added addition of a colour DNA screen. The package also includes ebony wood and carbon fibre panels to swap out the look of your mod.
The Paranormal is powered by dual 18650 batteries.
As with all Lost Vape vape mods, they aren’t cheap. But we think they are worth every penny.

Colour screen
Dual 18650 batteries

Lost Vape Therion
Lost Vape make some of the best DNA200 devices available, and their first DNA75 effort in the form of the Therion is a real stunner.
It features a leather grip finish, like the Triade DNA200, and superb form factor sitting comfortably in your hand.
You’ll get excellent battery life from the dual 18650 batteries, and Lost Vape even have a squonking version of the Lost Vape Therion.

Lost Vape Mirage DNA75C
One of the newest DNA devices to hit the market is the Lost Vape Mirage that takes advantage of the new DNA75 colour screen. As all things Lost Vape they are built with quality at the forefront and this is no different. Each mod will be slightly different in it’s appearance due to the manufacturing process.
The Mirage may be a single cell mod but you have a choice of three battery types, 18650/20700 or 21700.
This is looking like it will be another huge hit from Lost Vape, if their previous models are anything to go by this will sell out quick!
It also comes in a range of four different cool finishes now, so you can choose one that suits your style.
Features
DNA75C chip
Zinc alloy frame
Takes a single battery – 18650/20700/21700
HCigar VT75
HCigar’s first DNA75 effort is the VT75. A mod very much in the style of their VT200 device.
The design has had some slight tweaks, aside from the chip, and a bottom twist release battery door means you can use a single 18650 battery or a single 26650 battery with the device.
It’s available at a great price too, one of the cheapest DNA75 devices on the market at present.

Takes a single 18650 or 26650 battery
Great price point
Bottom twist release battery door
Vapeman Steam Engine DNA75
The Vapeman Steam Engine is something that little bit different. I’ve got to say though it really does look the part with it’s leather finish and Steam Punk looks.
It takes dual 18650 batteries but despite this still keeps an ergonomic for factor that fits perfectly in the palm of the hand. At the time of writing it’s available at a knock down price below!
Features
DNA75 chip
Leather finish
Supports dual 18650 batteries
Steam Punk design
HCigar VT Inbox V3
The VT Inbox V3 is one for the squonkers out there. HCigar are one of the few to release a squonk mod with the DNA chipset. In fact one of the few to release a regulated squonk at all.
The 7ml sqounk bottle should keep even the heaviest of vapers happy for hours on end.
The mod is constructed from aluminium and available in loads of different finishes.
Features

Lost Vape Paranormal 166

Lost Vape Triade
The Lost Vape Triade is another DNA200 device that takes three 18650 batteries, offering
accurate power output and great battery life too.
The shape of the device is similar to the Wismec Reuleaux DNA200, however looks wise they are totally different.
The Lost Vape Triade sports a leather sleeve design, with different leather sleeves available, which gives this device a real high end look. This is one of our personal favourites.
Features
Evolv DNA200 chip
Different leather sleeves available
Takes three 18650 batteries

Wismec Reuleaux DNA250
Possibly the most well known DNA device on the market thanks to it’s unique form factor.
The Wismec Reuleaux DNA250 is not only one of the most unique looking DNA250 devices, it also has some of the longest battery life too as well.
The design isn’t just there for aesthetic purposes, this device is really comfortable to hold too!
Features
Evolv DNA250 chip
Unique ergonomic design
Takes three 18650 batteries
Designed by Jaybo in conjunction with Wismec
HCigar VT250
Capable of powering upto 250W with 3 X 18650 batteries the VT250 is without doubt a powerhouse. It may look like a fancy shaver to some but the ergonomics are designed with the hand in mind making it a comfortable mod to hold.
Vapers who like their bigger atomisers shouldn’t have a problem here as you can pop upto 30mm diameters on top.
Flawless performance finishes this mod off nicely, one to consider carefully.
