10 minutes before use, especially at high wattage
settings.
3. Normal charge times from empty are 4-5 hours
for the XPV (standard battery) and about 1 hour
for the XPV Mini.
4. The XPV/XPV Mini should be almost fully
charged upon delivery from Protovapor. It can be
used immediately.
General operation
1. Attach atomizer device containing e-juice to the
connector at the top of the unit. DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN!
2. Adjust wattage of device using up/down con-
trol switch under the fire button. Start low if you
do not know the wattage at which your atomizer
works best.
3. Depress firing button and hold while drawing on
the atomizer device.
DNA 20D INFORMATION
Your XPV/XPV Mini is powered by the DNA 20D
board by Evolv Vapor.
Display information
Watt setting (W):
The power level currently set
on the DNA 20D.
Battery indicator (Icon):
The current state of
charge of the battery.
Volts display (V):
The current or most recent out-
put voltage being supplied to the atomizer.
Ohms display: (
Ω
)
The resistance of the atomizer
attached to the device. This is measured only when
the unit is supplying power to the atomizer. At
other times, it shows the most recent measurement.
Other modes
Locked mode:
Pressing the fire button five times
with less than .7 seconds between presses will
cause the device to enter Locked mode. In Locked
mode, the device will not fire and the output power
will not adjust accidentally. While in Locked mode,
the screen will be off, except that pressing a but-
ton will show “Locked, Click 5X”. To exit Locked
mode, press the fire button 5 times.
Stealth mode:
While locked, pressing the fire and
down control simultaneously for five seconds will
switch to stealth mode. In this mode the display
is off. It will still show error messages and the
“Locked, Click 5X” advisory. To switch back to nor-
mal display mode, from locked mode press the fire
and down control simultaneously for 5 seconds.
This setting is stored to internal flash memory, and
remains if power is removed.
Right Mode and Left Mode:
While locked, hold-
ing the fire and up control simultaneously for 5
seconds flips the display. This allows for maximum
flexibility, as well as accommodating left handed
vapers. This setting is stored to internal flash
memory, and remains if power is removed.
Error Messages
The DNA 20D will indicate a variety of error
states.
Note:
It is normal for the DNA 20D to
display one or two error messages upon wake-up
from sleep. These can be ignored.
Check Atomizer:
The DNA 20D does not detect
an atomizer, or the atomizer has shorted out.
Check Battery:
The battery is below 3.1 volts. It
probably needs to be charged.
Weak Battery:
The battery sags excessively when
firing. This typically means the user is not using a
high rate battery, or the battery is old and de-
graded. It can also mean the battery is not making
good contact.
Too Hot:
The DNA 20D has onboard temperature
sensing. It will shut down and display this message
if the internal board temperature becomes exces-
sive.
Too low power setting:
The DNA 20D puts out
a minimum of about 3.0-3.4 volts. With low power
settings (7 to 8 watts) and low resistance atom-
izers (below 2 ohms) the DNA will sometimes be
unable to provide a low enough voltage output to
be power regulating. If this is the case, the Ohms
display will be flashing. The device will still operate.
