The DNA250C Thread

[Rude Rudi]

Ok, I got my Paranormal DNA250C today. I desperately want to try the REPLAY function but I have absolutely no idea what coil material I have in my RDA... I rotate by RDA's and have never kept track of which type of coil in is which atty.

So, what I need to know:
Is there a way to determine the material type of the coils? Can Escribe or the device read the material and tell me what is is?

I have not come across that feature.
It will however only allow you to "replay" coils that can do so.
So if you try to replay coils that aren't ready for it, it just won't give you the option

You could try vaping in basic TC mode. If it isn't TC compatible, many (?most/all?) mods will kick back into power mode pretty quickly.

@Rude Rudi I had the exact same problem . I have since made a list of all my atty's and what coil is installed and the date of installation.
As @GerritVisagie said, if not compatible wire is detected the save puff option will not be available and replay will work as normal power mode.

It will be very cool if your mod can identify the material used!!

@Rude Rudi , maybe you should just make a new SS coil?
At the rate you mix up new juices, making a coil should be a piece of cake!!
Hehe

Wow @TheV !
Thats amazing

Wow @TheV !

@Silver, I really am extremely impressed.
I've vaped the Dvarw enough to know that if the tails looked like that on a normal mod... I would be having a bad time.

Ok, now I need to try replay
I just need a DNA75C or 250C - lol

A word of warning ... I'm looking at my other devices wondering what I'm gonna do with them because at this point it feels like Replay is the only way to vape

Even at ur BB???

That is the evolution of vaping...
And the journey...

But I hear you - that would be a disaster if replay rendered my other devices inadequate

 

[TheV]

Even at ur BB???

I'm pretty confident that the BB will be used a bit less now.
When I have the option I'll pick up a Replay device.
When I go out and need a pocket mod, the BB is still king.

I will however jump on a 75C BB if one is released.

And what a journey it is. Evolv has really done something special here in my opinion.

I don't think it will render your other devices inadequate (I'm being a little bit over-dramatic)... but it does show that there is an improved means of doing things.

So weirdly an ni80 fused clapton coil that I’m using in my dna75c mod works with replay lol.

As far as I can tell the wire does not have any temp suitable wire, it’s ni80 all the way through unless there is and I can’t see it.

Oh well not complaining if it works lol, just vaped my wicks dry and no burnt cotton so seems to be working. Could be my dna75c has bugged out but I’ve turned it off and on, taken batteries out and put another atty on it. But replay still works with the ni80 coil.

I picked up a couple of sets of Geek Vape pre-built stainless steel coils at Vake King yesterday. The replay function is rather groundbreaking and enhances the vaping experience tremendously. This is the future...

Good to know, thanks @Rude Rudi !
Seems like a lot of folks think the same.
Going to have to try it soon

Can the experts please assist
What is the difference between the “boost” and the “punch” function
From watching videos I am kinda scratching my head a bit
1. Boost will give you a preheat function and as I understand it will use the wattage that you set in the “wattage boost” profile. So if set it to 15 watts in that profile I assume then that that set wattage is what will be used in the other profiles when boost is set to “on”.
Is this correct ?
2. How long will the boost be active
For “ 1 sec” ?
3. What does the “punch” function then do. This can be set between 0 and 11.
Is my understanding then that the “punch” will be the time period that the “boost” works for ?
4. I have also noticed that If boost is not set to “on” in the specific profile on Escribe then it won’t work on mod wether it’s set to on or off on the menu on mod ? So for any profile “boost” must be set to on in that escribe profile for it to work: is this correct ?
5. Running the device monitor on escribe I don’t see anything happening that increases wattage when u fire atty using the “punch” function only whether it’s set to 0 or 11
6. Lastly on my dna 166 I could change the wattage increments in decimal 1’s namely 40,41,42,43,44 watts . It appears there is nowhere to do this on the 250c. It’s 40.1, 40.2,40.3,40.4. Can this be done

I wondered the same and found this from a senior member on the forum:

"All power-controlled profiles can do Boost. We created Watt Boost to have one default profile preconfigured with non-zero Boost, nothing wild really..

For a power-controlled coil, the Punch setting controls Boost Punch. For a temperature-sensing coil, it instead controls Preheat Punch.

Boost and Preheat are the approaches to getting the coil up to boiling temperature quickly. Punch is on a 0-11 scale. (For Preheat, you can use Temperature instead of Punch.)"

Hope it helps...

When you vape your tank this dry, still getting flavor and no dry hits... Replay is magic:

Ok, so this is a slight drawback for me though...

I drip exclusively and, as most drippers do, frequently rotate flavours throughout the day. I used to vape until the point just before a dry hit - with experience, you know when there is no more juice left and its time to re-juice. This method ensures that no flavour is transferred so when I drip a new juice, I dont taste the previous juice, which may be a contrasting flavour, ett = the beauty of dripping.

With Replay, it wont fire when the wicks are not sufficiently saturated so I cannot dry the wicks out all the way (as explained above) as it wont let me fire. The result is that I have a period where two juices have to fight with one another, which is bit against the PRO for dripping...

Not a biggie, but a bit annoying...

Other than that, I love the Replay function!!!

I can see how that would be a bit of an annoyance. I like the "with experience" part, which is something I definitely never had... always 2 puffs too far for me

I apologise in advance to temp control users but when temp control first came out it was popular but very quickly people went back to simple power mode, it really is a very small percentage of vapers that use temp control. I agree with you replay is a different beast, in it's simple to use nature with outstanding results. It's going to increase in popularity and no doubt with various results the Chinese will try and mimic it with their chips.

 

[regularvapeguy]

From what I understand...

Boost: Preheat setting and how many watts you want it to pre heat with and for how long.

Punch: how quickly the desired wattage hits or ramps up, which would then, I guess determine how hard the vape hits on initial drag.

Yep, you can have it hitting as hard as you like!

Fully understand you @Rude Rudi , even though i am not a big dripper

But

Based on what @TheV showed, surely this Replay will vape the wicks until they are bone dry? Ie just before the point the wicks start getting scorched? Or are you saying that Replay stops firing well before that point? I dont have replay so havent seen for myself but i find this discussion very interesting and informative
