The Hyperion features excellent built in protections such as overheat protection, reverse polarity, atomizer protection, low resistance, and short circuit protection which allow you to vape without worry.

The Geekvape Z100c DNA Pod Mod is Geekvapes first device that uses the DNA chipset. It’s quite a unique device because you are able to quickly change between using a pod to using a 510 threaded tank. The Geekvape Z100c brings the performance and quality that you expect from Geekvape, paired with the Evolve DNA chipset to bring an overall excellent device.
The Geekvape Z100c kit comes with a pod with a 5ml capacity and two separate coils (0.15Ω and 0.4Ω kanthal mesh coils), both of which provide excellent flavor. The pod can easily be switched to the 510 adapter by pressing the two clips on the top side of the mod and pulling the pod system out, transforming this pod mod to a simple box mod capable of holding atomizers up to 30mm without overhang.
The Geekvape Z100c features three buttons in addition to the fire button which allow for easy navigation through the 0.96” screen. The UI sports a similar format to other Evolve DNA chipset devices, so it’s still easy to use and offers a number of modes and customization features.
The battery door is spring loaded, easy to open, and feels sturdy with little to no movement. The Geekvape Z100c has a sleek look which comes in 3 different colors (silver, blue, and black), along with grips that have quite a stylish appeal to them.
The Geekvape Z100c is compact and versatile, which makes it a great device to keep at hand. The performance and ability to switch between pod and tank usage are enough to make this a device that you should consider. But when you factor in that it also uses the DNA chipset, it makes the Geekvape Z100c a must-have in any vapers collection.

Why We Picked It
The Hadron Pro DNA250c is Steam Crave’s first DNA250c Mod and they truly knocked it out of the park. The Hadron Pro is made of zinc-alloy and the visual design is clean and attractive, but the true beauty comes from the power that the Hadron Pro is capable of outputting.
The Hadron Pro is capable of firing at up to an insane 400W, giving you all the power you could possibly need in a mod — and more. The built-in 1600mAh battery is decent for low to mid wattage vaping, however usage times will suffer if vaping at the ultra-high wattages that the Hadron is capable of.
Unfortunately, the Hadron charges with Micro-USB charging, but charging times are still decent. The Li-Po 1600mAh battery will remain good for many charge cycles and the built-in protections ensure that the battery stays healthy.
Since it uses the DNA250c chipset, the Hadron Pro delivers excellent temperature control mode performance and the ability to recreate the perfect draw with Replay mode.
There are three buttons on the face of the device in addition to the fire button, and these allow smooth navigation through the 0.9” display. The buttons feel good to press with a nice “clicky” feedback. The Hadron Pro allows you to customize most of your display, from the ability to change the increments on watts down to 0.1W increments, to even customizing your welcome screen.
The Hadron Pro has impressive capabilities from its power output, to customization, which makes it an easy device to recommend. If you are someone who enjoys vaping at higher wattages or just like the idea of having more control over your draw, the Steam Crave Hadron Pro is the device for you.

What Is A DNA Mod?
A DNA mod is any vape mod that uses Evolv Vapor’s DNA chipset. To put it simply, this chip regulates and delivers power, as well as functionality to your vaping device. DNA chips also come with a built in display.
Any device with a DNA chip can be customized and tailored to your preference using Evolv’s EScribe and Theme Designer software. With these programs, you can make the display on your DNA mod look and act exactly the way that you want.
What Makes a DNA Mod So Good?
DNA chips have numerous functionalities and features, and are considered the top of the line in terms of accuracy and reliability. With the DNA250C chipset, you get Power mode, Temperature Control Mode, Preheat, Replay and Boost mode, and much more.
Especially if you’re a temperature control mode vaper, DNA chips are the best that you can get in terms of accuracy and power efficiency. Other chips may not be able to accurately read and keep up with your coils when vaping in TC mode. Not with a DNA chip.
If you’re concerned about battery life, DNA chips are also known to be some of the most efficient on the market. Rated at a 97% power efficiency, you’re sure to get every last bit of juice out of your batteries.
