7. ERROR MESSAGES
The DNA 250C will indicate a variety of error states.
Check Atomize: The DNA does not detect an atomizer, the atomizer has shorted out, or the atomizer
resistance is incorrect for the power setting.
Weak Battery: The battery is deeply discharged and needs to be charged, or is damaged. If this
happens, the DNA 250C will not fire the atomizer. The Check Battery message will continue to display
for a few seconds after attempting to fire the device. User should remove and replace the battery.
Shorted: The atomizer or wiring are short circuited.
Ohms Too Low: The resistance of the atomizer coil is too low for the current wattage setting. If this
happens, the DNA 250C will continue to fire, but will not be able to provide the desired wattage. The
Ohms Too Low message will continue to display for a few seconds after the end of puff.
14

Ohms Too High: The resistance of the atomizer coil is too high for the current wattage setting. If this
happens, the DNA 250C will continue to fire, but will not be able to provide the desired wattage. The
Ohms Too High message will continue to display for a few seconds after the end of puff.
Temperature Protected: The heating coil reached the maximum allowed temperature during the puff.
If this happens, the DNA 250C will continue to fire, but will not be able to provide the desired wattage.
Weak Battery: The battery needs to be charged, or a higher amp rated battery needs to be used. If this
happens, the DNA 250C will continue to fire the atomizer, but will not be able to provide the desired
wattage. The Weak Battery message will continue to display for a few seconds after the end of the puff.
Return To Researcher: The DNA has reached a limit configured by a researcher.
Too Hot: The DNA 250C has onboard temperature sensing. It will shut down and display this message
if the internal board temperature becomes excessive.

8. PUFF REPLAY
Puff Replay is a new feature on the DNA 250C that allows the user to save and play back puffs. The use
of a temperature sensitive material is required such as Nickel, Stainless, Titanium, or other material
that increases in resistance when heated. Puff Replay works in either temperature protection or wattage
control modes and will also prevent dry hits when used with wattage control.
To use Puff Replay set the device to the desired power level and operate it normally. Once a satisfying
puff is achieved, activate Puff Replay to replay the last puff on all subsequent uses. Puff length is not
a factor and the user will not be limited to the length of the previous puff. Disable Puff Replay to
resume normal operation or find a new puff to save. If Puff Replay cannot be enabled the coil is not
compatible.

USB On-The-Go
17
The DNA 250C supports USB On-The-Go. An OTG adapter may be plugged into the Micro USB port on
the device to charge any other device capable of charging via USB. Charging starts and stops
automatically and OTG charging will not over-drain the DNA 250C.
9. CHARGING AND USB ON-THE-GO
Charging the Batteries
Internal Charging: The DNA 250C has a built in 2A USB charger. It automatically detects the type of
USB power supply it is connected to, so it can be plugged into standard PC USB ports or higher power
chargers. The max charge current is based on the cell capacity as programmed in EScribe.
External charging (Recommended): Remove batteries from device. Follow charging instructions
with using charger.
