First setup
Follow these steps to set up your SERIES-B
DNA 75W, don’t miss a step!
1. Remove the magnetic battery cover.
2. Insert a charged high drain 18650 battery with
a discharge current of 20 amps (unprotected),
positive side pointing up towards the top of
the device. To charge your battery, we
recommend a suitable external charger.
3. Replace the magnetic battery cover.
4. If the battery needs to be charged and a
suitable external charger is not available,
you can also charge the battery in the device
via Micro-USB charging lead.
Please handle the charging port carefully
- do not force the connector, only insert it far
enough until the charge symbol appears on
the OLED screen.
5. Attach a compatible and viable 510 tank to
the device, then push once to check its
resistance [Ω].
6. A prompt may appear (New Coil? UP YES
/DOWN NO), asking if you are using a new
atomiser (if temperature control is activated).
If desired, a new resistance reading will be
taken , or you can use the preset
resistance .
7. If the screen shows ‘CHECK ATOMIZER’,
check that your tank is viable and screwed
firmly into place.
8. Once the resistance of the atomizer is
displayed on the OLED screen, the device is
ready to use. Select your desired wattage [W]
by clicking or .

To lock the power output [W] of the device,
press and hold and together for 3 seconds.
Repeat to unlock the power output again.
This allows you to use the SERIES-B DNA 75W
without accidentally adjusting the power output
setting.
Profiles
The SERIES-B DNA 75W supports up to 8 user
profiles, each affecting how the device
performs. Using different profiles means
maximum customization of all important
parameters to specific atomizer setups while
you can easily switch them on the go. Profiles
can be created using the ‚EScribe‘ software!
(>> Advanced Operating)
To change profiles, double click or to bring
up the profile menu, while power output is
locked. Now you can scroll through the menu
by using or and confirm your profile
selection by pressing .
Switching wire types
To provide accurate temperature contol,
the SERIES-B DNA 75W needs special
parameters fitted to the used wire type!
(>> Advanced Operating)
Inside a user profile you can switch the wire
type quite easily. Hold down , and
together for 2 seconds, while the device is
locked. Now you can scroll through the menu
using or and confirm your wire type
selection by pressing .
Calibrate initial resistance
Before using a temperature controlled setup on
your SERIES-B DNA 75W, a calibration of the
initial resistance is needed.
(>> Advanced Operating)
In case of already using a temperature
controlled profile and the resistance of the
recently attached atomizer differs significantly
to the atomizer used before, a prompt will
appear after briefly pressing , asking if you are
using a new atomiser. If desired, a new
resistance reading will be taken , or you can
use the preset resistance .
If the resistance of the atomizer doesn’t differ
that much to the atomizer used before or the
initial resistance of the used atomizer only
should be recalibrated, you can do that
manually. Hold down and for 2 seconds,
while the device is locked. The fixation of the
initial resistance than will be displayed as a
lock-symbol besides the resistance value [Ω].
Repeat to unlock the resistance.
Please absolutely make sure that the atomizer is
cold (room temperature) during the calibration
process, otherwise the displayed temperature
could differ widely to the real value!
Setting power output
Use the navigation buttons to increase or
decrease the power output [W]. Holding
one of the navigation buttons down for a few
seconds will increase the speed at which the
power output changes.
In case of using a temperature controlled
profile, hold down and together for
3 seconds, while the device is locked. Than set
the power output and select the preferred value
by pressing .
Setting temperature
In case of already using a temperature
controlled profile, use the navigation buttons to
increase or decrease the temperature
[C│F]. By holding down until the preferred
range is reached, the preferred entity of
temperature can be selected (F = °Fahrenheit /
C = °Celsius). By holding down temperature
control can be deactivated (OFF).
In case of using a profile where temperature
control is deactivated or the displayed standard
parameters were already personalized,
temperature control can be activated as well as
temperature can be adjusted, by holding and
(-) together for 2 seconds, while the device is
locked. Than set the temperature and select the
preferred value by pressing .

Features
Standby
If not used for more than 10 seconds, the OLED
screen of your SERIES-B DNA 75W will dim.
When left unused for further 20 seconds, it will
enter standby mode and the screen will switch
itself off. Press any button to leave standby
mode.
Stealth mode
While the device is locked, press and hold
and for five seconds to cycle into stealth
mode. While in stealth mode, the OLED screen
will remain off during use, other than to display
lock and error messages. Repeat to return to
normal mode.
Pass through function
While the device is charging, it can still be
used as a pass through (i.e. it can be used and
charged at the same time). Please ensure a
sufficient residual charge of your battery (>10%)
to avoid collapsing voltage at high current load.
Reverse polarity protection
The SERIES-B DNA 75W includes built in
electronic reverse polarity protection to protect
the user, PCB, device, and battery in case of
a battery will be inserted backwards.
Onboard temperature sensing
To avoid overheating, the SERIES-B DNA 75W
is fitted with an internal temperature sensor.
If the PCB temperature reaches a maximum
value, the device will shut down automatically!
Battery management system
The integrated battery management system
allows the SERIES-B DNA 75W to monitor the
voltage of your battery continuously. If due to
insufficient capacity the voltage falls below a
definable limit - idle or loaded –the power
output will be locked automatically to avoid
exhausting the battery. If the requested voltage
under load cannot be delivered by the battery
(voltage drop in case of overload), the device
reduces the power output automatically to
a save level.

Cleaning advice
Daily usage of your SERIES-B DNA 75W could
cause soilings, especially by deposits of dirt
particles and liquid inside the 510–connector.
These could lead to contact problems which
can compromise correct resitance reading.
Therefore we recommend to clean your device
from time to time.
For this firstly remove the battery an atomizer.
Than clean the 510–connector with a lint-free
cleaning rag. In case of heavy soilings you can
moisten the cleaning rag with a tiny amount of
alcohol.
Please don’t use any pointed objects to clean
the spring-loaded centerpin and avoid direct
contact to fluids which could permeate the
housing of the device.
Advanced Operating
Temperature control
Temperature controlled vaping is a complex
issue. We would like to try to explain to you
some important basics in order to avoid
problems.
Why temperature controlled vaping?
The food flavourings contained in e-Liquids
develop different flavours at different
temperatures. You can imagine it as cold or
lukewarm cola. The taste will vary depending on
the temperature of the beverage. It is now also
known that high temperatures may cause
undesirable side effects.
With a functioning temperature controlled setup
dry hits (bad or nonexistent liquid flow to the
heating coil which will cause a very unpleasant
taste) are effectively excluded. So you can use
an atomizer without a window to the last drop
of liquid.
To use the temperature control, you need an
atomizer with a heating wire, which has a high
temperature coefficient.
Due to the high temperature coefficient, the
resistance of the wire is increased as soon as
the coil is heated. It is necessary for the atomizer
to be at room temperature to calibrate, so that
on the basis of resistance changes the
SERIES-B DNA 75W can determine the
temperature of the heating coil.
Please ensure that the wraps of the coil do not
touch and the contacts of the 510 port and
within the atomizer used are clean. Corrosion or
contamination of a contact area can lead to low
resistance variations, which are then
erroneously interpreted by the electronics as
temperature changes. Therefore, all contacts
should be cleaned regularly with alcohol.
With the SERIES-B DNA 75W you can find the
optimum temperature and thus the optimum
flavour.
Wire types
The thickness of the wire determines how
quickly the coil reaches the set temperature.
You can compensate for the deficiency of a
sluggish coil with higher power, but this also
increases the power consumption. Also you will
require different wire for different types of
atomizer for example a Dripper has a different
process.
Especially the temperature coefficient is crucial
for the accuracy of temperature control.
This value describes how much the resistance
of the heating wire changes with increasing or
decreasing temperature. In delivery conditions
the SERIES-B DNA 75W provides profiles for
Nickel 200, SS 316 and Titanium heating wires.
By using the ‘EScribe‘ Software it is possible to
create custom wire types with personalised
temperature coefficient, thus you will be able to
use specialized wires. We recommend the
Dicodes Resistherm NiFe30 heating wire
(TK: 320•10-5 K-1) or the Golden Greek Zirconium
heating wire (TK: 100•10-5 K-1).
Calibration
During calibration, the zero point of the
measurement is accurately determined. As with
a speedometer in a car, when at rest it must
show 0 mph. If the calibration is not carefully
carried out a reliable measurement of the
temperature is impossible.
The SERIES-B DNA 75W has automatic or
manual calibration. We recommend auto-
calibrating the coil. It is important that the
atomizer is at room temperature at the time
of calibration (eg. 20 °C).

-6-
!
We recommend heating the coil to the
“evaporation phase“ a second time to calibrate,
since the resistance of the wire may vary.
Caution: When auto-calibrating, make sure to
wait a few minutes before changing the battery
so that the atomizer cools.
EScribe
As you’ve already seen in this manual,
the SERIES-B DNA 75W is fitted with Evolv’s
DNA 75 PCB, a very powerful and adaptable
chipset, which leaves barely anything to be
desired. Basic operations can be done directly
on the device but the full range of possible
customization only can be used by Evolv’s
software “EScribe”!
It doesn’t matter if you want to create a new
wire type, even with non-linear temperature
coefficient if desired or to customize profiles
with homemade display designs, if you like to
adjust the lower cut-off voltage to fit to your
battery or you simply plan to update the
Firmware, with EScribe you get a huge range of
possibilities.
But to describe all of them here in detail would
go far beyond the scope of this manual.
Therefore, we only want to give you the
necessary information to handle EScribe and
to gain a deeper insight of the software.
Before using EScribe the first time you should
discuss intensely the topic of temperature
controlled vaping. Basic terms and principles of
electrical engineering as well as handling with
computers should be familiar, thus we
recommend the usage of EScribe only for
advanced users!
System requirements and setup
To use EScribe you necessarily need a
Windows PC or Mac with access to the
internet and a USB 2.0 interface. For setup
please open the following link with a browser
on your choice.
https://downloads.evolvapor.com/
SetupEScribe2_INTL.exe
https://downloads.evolvapor.com/
SetupEScribe2_INTL.pkg
The download of the file should start
automatically. After you’ve downloaded the file
you can start the setup by double clicking the
file. Now follow the directions of the installer to
finalize the setup.
If internet access is available EScribe will
automatically search for updates by starting the
software. Once the new version is detected
please follow the directions to update
the software.
Linking the device
Start EScribe firstly than link your SERIES-B DNA
75W to the PC via the included Micro-USB
charging lead.
The DNA 75 chipset will automatically by
detected and displayed in a selection window.
After confirmation you will be directed to the
standard user interface. Now EScribe is ready to
receive your settings.
Firmware Update
As soon as your device is linked to EScribe and
internet access is available the software
automatically searches for new Firmware
updates for your DNA 75 chipset. If a new
version is detected it will be displayed by a
message. Now simply follow the directions to
update the Firmware.
ATTENTION:
-Don’t disrupt the link between your
device and the PC while updating!
-Don’t turn off the PC while updating!
-Don’t remove the battery of your device
while updating!
-Exclusively use the automated update func-
tion of EScribe to update the
-Firmware of your device!
Unauthorized Firmware and corrupt
updates can cause irreversible damage the
DNA 75 chipset, thus any type of Firmware
update will happen at your own risk!

Create a new wire type
For creating new wire types in EScribe two
basic methods are available.
Entering the temperature coefficient manually
will give you the biggest possible choice to
customize a new wire type. But this option
requires extensive knowledge about material
properties of the wire type and mostly leads to
repeated test runs until the desired result is
reached. Therefore, the details of this method
won’t be discussed in this manual.
While the manual entering is more the
“professional usage”, the import of ready to use
CSV-files provides a simple, quick and
user-friendly method to create new wire types.
At first save a suitable CSV-file to your PC
(for more information please see the following
section “Further links”). Now start EScribe and
link your device to the PC. In the tab “Materials”
click on the folder-symbol and choose the
saved CSV-file in the appearing selection
window. Now select the imported wire type in
the “Available Materials” window and click on
the green arrow beside the window.
After that you can upload the settings to the
device by clicking on the same-named button in
the toolbar.
When the upload has finished the link between
your device and the PC can be removed.
The new wire type can now be selected on
the device.
