Reviewer comments on business characteristics

SBody Macro Dna 75 produced by S-Body is equipped with a powerful chipset produced by Evolv. No need to boast the merits of this module that invades the many boxes of the market.

Very small, this mini box is one of the lightest that embeds an 18650 battery. It can provide a maximum power of 75W and exists in several colors.

Its rectangular shape, its very clean look and small size gives it a nice look, but it is especially its transport that is significant, both in weight and size.

Its features are various with the classic mode or temperature control mode, but its use still requires a certain time of adaptation for those who do not yet know the DNA 75

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

The SBody Macro DNA 75 is made of aluminum, it has a silver anodized coating (for my test) which remains sensitive to scratches, but does not mark fingerprints. The width of 24mm of this box is a little misleading because the rounded edges, only allow to adapt atomizers of maximum, 23mm, beyond that exceeds and aesthetically it is not very pretty.

It is small and very light and it is a great advantage for people who want to move without clutter, or those looking for a lightweight product to handle.

The buttons are impeccable and do not protrude from the size of the box thanks to a curved profile for the switch and the adjustment buttons which, unlike the Sbody macro DNA 40, are no longer plastic but metallic. A judicious and more fitting choice.

The screen is on one of the wide sides near the top cap. Perfectly readable, it displays information in a clear and orderly way.

The cover allowing the insertion of the accumulator is held by two rectangular magnets, an improvement made compared to the DNA 40 which had two mini round magnets. A lug has been added for a much better fit, so that the hood does not open while steaming.

The overall assembly of the SBody Macro dna 75 has been rigorously reviewed on some contentious points of its little sister. The gold-plated spring-loaded pin has been retained to allow reliable contact over time, but the 510 connection remains in stainless steel for the hardness of the material and its resistance to wear at the thread.

No ventilation is provided in the event of overheating or degassing of the battery and that is a shame, because it is the only small fault that I would have to do with it.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The first characteristic of the Sbody Macro DNA75 is first and foremost its size and weight, because its ergonomics give it significant comfort for small hands. The autonomy of your box is managed by a DNA 75 chipset, it will depend on your use according to the power, but it is not very greedy and remains average, like most boxes with a single battery between ½ day to a day , on an average power of 20W. These features are therefore inherent in this superb module which offers many possibilities:

The modes of vape : They are standard with a power mode from 1 to 75W which is used in kanthal with a threshold resistance of 0.25Ω and a temperature control mode from 100 to 300 ° C (or 200 to 600 ° F) with resistive Ni200, SS316, titanium, SS304 and TCR which will include the heating coefficient of the resistive used. The threshold resistance will be 0.15Ω in temperature control mode. Be careful when using batteries that provide at least 25A.

Screen display : The display gives all the necessary indications, the power you have set or the temperature display if you are in TC mode, the battery indicator for its charge status, the display of the voltage supplied to the user. Atomizer when we vape and of course, the value of your resistance.

The different modes : You can use different modes according to the circumstances or the needs, so the DNA 75 offers the locked mode (Locked mode) so that the box is not triggered in a bag, this inhibits the switch. Stealth mode turns off the screen. Power locked mode to prevent the power or temperature value from changing unexpectedly. The resistance lock, which allows to keep a stable value of it when cold. And finally the setting of the maximum temperature (Max temperature adjust) allows you to record the maximum temperature that you wish to apply.

Preheating: In temperature control, Preheat, allows you to set a time lapse and a power that preheats your resistance when it is composed (multi-strand) and lag before heating. The correctly configured preheat will remove this lag. 

Detection of a new atomizer : This box detects the change of atomizer, it is imperative therefore to always place atomizers with resistance at room temperature (cold).

The profiles: It is also possible to create 8 different profiles with prerecorded power or temperature to use a different atomizer, depending on the resistive wire used or its resistive value, without the need to set each time your box.

Error messages: Check Atomiser (Check atomizer) Weak battery (small battery) Check Battery (Check battery), Temperature protected (protected temperature) Ohms too high (Ohms too high), Ohms too Low (Ohms too low), Too hot ( Too hot).

The screen saver: automatically switch off the screen after 30 seconds (configurable)

recharge function : It allows to recharge the battery without removing it from its housing, thanks to the USB cable connected to the PC.

This also allows you to connect to the Evolv site to customize your box, and / or to the dedicated software: Escribe with which you can configure everything.

detections and protections :
- Lack of resistance
- Protects against short circuits
- Indicates when the battery is low
- Protects deep discharges
- Cut in case of excessive heating of the chipset
- Warns if the resistance is too high or too low
- Cutting if the resistance temperature is too high

Vapelier's note on packaging: 2.5 / 5 2.5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The packaging is not at all up to its price and it is very unfortunate.

It is rather made for a mid-range product. In a white rigid cardboard box, sits the DNA75 Sbody Macro lying on white velvet foam, under which is the cable for reloading and the instructions.

The notice is only in two languages, English / Chinese and remains approximate. Many features are not fully detailed.

It is a product that deserves a more thorough notice.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

In use you use a DNA75 so I can assure you that it works perfectly well, it is very responsive by providing the requested power without flinching and without heating. Its use is simple and the buttons are easy to handle.

This Sbody Macro has 8 profiles, dice its ignition (5clicks on the Switch), you are necessarily on one of them. Each profile is intended for a different resistive: kanthal, nickel200, SS316, Titanium, SS304, SS316L, SS304 and No Preheat (to choose a new resistive) and the screen is as follows:

- Battery charge
- Value of resistance
- Temperature limit
- Name of the resistive used
- And power to which you're vaping displayed at wholesale

Whatever your profile is the display you have.
sbody-dna75_affichage

Easy to use, to lock the box just press 5 once on the switch very quickly, the same operation is necessary to unlock it.

You can block the adjustment knobs and continue to vape by simultaneously pressing the [+] and [-].
To change the profile, it is necessary to have previously blocked the adjustment buttons then press the [+] twice, finally, you just have to scroll through the profiles and validate your choice by switching.

Finally in TC mode you can change the temperature limit, you must first lock the box, press the [+] and [-] simultaneously for 2 seconds and adjust.

For stealth mode which allows you to turn off your screen, if you just have to lock the box and hold the switch and the [-] for 5 seconds.

For block the resistance, it is imperative to do this when the resistance is at room temperature. You lock the box and you must hold the switch and the [+] for 2 seconds.

It is also possible to change the display of your screen graphically visualize the work of your box,
customize the settings and much more, but for that it is necessary to download Escribe via UBS micro cable on the site Evolv

Select the DNA75 chipset and download

 

sbody-dna75_evolv

After downloading you will need to install it.

Once the installation is complete, you can plug in your box (on) and start the program. Thus you have the possibility to modify at your convenience the SBody Macro or to update your chipset by selecting "tools" then update the firmware.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

A SBody Macro with a DNA75 chipset, it is particularly responsive and provides the requested power up to 75W without flinching. A sober and neat look with some improvements compared to his little sister SBody Macro DNA40, as well as an undeniable comfort of use due to its small size and its lightness.

Its use is ultimately quite simple, after a good adaptation and it would have been facilitated by a more complete notice in French.

Its customization can be done via the micro USB cable provided by configuring the chipset on the site Evolv

It does not really have a flaw, although cute, its straight line and its matte Silver color coating looks like aluminum, a basic paint. This is a very personal detail of course and some will not agree, but I can not help thinking that aesthetically and considering its price, it lacks a bit of elegance and refinement.
