DNA 200 chip vs a good regulated mod in power mode

i just got into dripping and im looking for a solid mod, i reeally like the looks of tesla wye 200 but im also considering a dna 200 mod if its going to perform much better, all im asking is is a dna mod better in power mod better in any way than a good regulated mod? say i have the tesla and dna mod chip set with the same exact build on my dead rabbit and i get a draw from both whats the difference ? i dont want to get in the setting and super tweak the stuff just say i get a draw at same wattage ( or i have the tesla at a higher wattage cuz its not a true 200 watt mode) the tesla is a really fast firing mod witch ive heard the dnas are really fast firing but apart from that say i get draws from both same exact build in power mode am i going to notice a difference and if i am what kind of difference? sorry for the english guys xD

If you do not want to get into it and customize your settings via software on your computer, or the fine tuning capability a DNA mod has, or use temp control, you are better off not spending the $ for a DNA mod.
A DNA mod as well as a few other chips are more for customizing your temp control and vaping experience.
They are indeed great at power mode as well but if power mode is the only mode you'll be using, there are many other mods on the market that cost less and will provide you a great experience.

mm thank u for helping me out bro:) do you think the tesla is a great option? would it give me a better experience if i use escribe to specify if im using a kanthal or ni80 coil in power mode?? would there be any differences in the same build in same watts? and is the battery life going to be something significantly better say id get mode battery life or at below 30% the tesla whould give me a weaker hit at same wattage where the dna whould give me the same as if it was fully charged or this is not the case ?

I'm going to back out at this point.
I have a few DNA mods and while they are great for what they do, I am not a fan of them.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of the ones I have, I just don't spend the time to set them up.
Hopefully one of the DNA fan club members (not intended negatively) can drop in and share their expertise and opinions.
The DNA side of the house is an entirely different group of people most generally than those that like simply plug n play or turn it on and use it.
Once a DNA mod is properly setup they are extremely easy to use.
I just tend to forget how to get from one mode to the next too often due to lack of use.

mm i see xd thank again bro:) id really like for someone to answer the questions i mentioned about battery efficiency that i mentioned earlier and any if at all are there any differences in power mode say u fire a good regulated chip mod and a dna in same setup same wattage whould there be a difference in the draw smoother or something and if setting the dna in escribe for using an ni80 coil or a kanthal coil whould make any difference in draw compared to say the tesla where u cant specify that in power mode and what kind of difference?

No difference in power mode.
I'd rather say no major difference in power mode. I do have several DNA mods, and several other mods. The DNA are acting the same in power mode, where as the other mods are either need a slightly higher, or lower setting in the wattage, due to different behavior in the speed of heating up the coil(s).
Personally, I do love my DNA mods, but I also love my Hohm Slice mods. The Hohm Slice, due to their ability to have TC for Kanthal wire.

hmm i see so what u mean is that to get the same drag from a dan than a good regulated mod ull need to go for a little higher or lower wattage cuz theyre not exactly accurate but apart from that theyre exactly the same??? how bout battery life will it last significantly lower?? or when u get at like under 30 percent the dna will fire at same intensity where the good regulated mods intensitys will diminish or that depends on batteries and that not the case ?? thanks for giving me some light here guys xd

Yes, exactly the same apart from that. With some of regulated mods in power mode if you look at the power output on a scope, you might see a bit of a wavy pattern instead of an almost perfectly flat horizontal line. But in pure terms of how the vape actually feels, the power output is still exactly the same, except of course if the mod truly is garbage in this regard, in which case we should be able to see truly severe fluctuations in the power output and typically we do not─despite some certain individuals' claims to the contrary. In addition, the speed at which a good, yet affordable, regulated mod fires is also pretty much instantaneous nowadays.

If the intensity diminishes noticeably before the DNA's intensity does, by much more than just a few percent, then I would chalk the mod off as a poorly performing device instead of calling it "a good regulated mod" anyway in the first place so, by mere definition in fact, this difference (if any) should be reasonably small enough─for me at least. But yes, it depends on batteries a lot, and it depends on number of batteries a lot as well. Depending on the batteries and how you use them, a 4-battery device can actually give you almost double the vaping time compared to a 3-battery device despite this may seem very counter-intuitive. If moving from a 3-battery device to a 4-battery one, the watts per battery are decreased by roughly 25 percent, thus allowing each of the batteries to keep performing that much more efficiently.

That said, the reason why I don't use a DNA is twofold. First off, DNA is more expensive, and, secondly, my RX300 with ArcticFox uses power curves that are much more user-friendly than ANY mod that can't support ArcticFox so this is just a simple flat no-brainer to me, as I hate fiddling around with the settings just as much as you do, and I had to set it up only once─which took only a couple minutes of my time.

I do notice a difference in power mode between the two. For instance, when I use my serpent mini on a DNA 200 in power mode I run it at 33w but on other non-DNA mods I use (snow wolf 75w, vtc mini, ipv d2) I go up 5 watts to get the same results. No big deal and I probably notice it because there is very few variations in the atty's / builds I use.
