Looks like it...very interesting. This is the first production DNA25 that I've seen. I built my own recently with a self designed bezel and enclosure. It's about the same height/thickness as an rDNA40 and 5mm less in depth. I used a 1200mAh LiPo and get fairly good battery life out of it. If you are a MTL vaper this is a great little board, especially with a Triton (1.8 ohm coil only), Subtank (works fine with the .5ohm or 1.2ohm coils), or a Nautilus Mini. Considering the board itself is $40 retail, the $60 price point isn't too shabby...you can't build your own cheaper than that. Most folks want more than 25W now, but there are still times I vape in that wattage range.

Here it is next to an rDNA40:

Well it looks good. 3d printed enclosures are growing on me. If you build your coils to match the power of the mod you have 25w is not bad. I vape all the time at 20-25 watts on a subtank rba and I have drippers set up at 1.0 ohm and above that 25w will work. I dont know why did not just make it 30w lol

My suspicion is that Evolv didn't want to leach sales from the DNA30. A 30W TC board was also probably too close to the DNA40 for Evolv's pricing structure to make sense. I also think the decision was in some part related to Evolv's partnership with Innokin.

Probably right. I dont know man I think a good mid range competitive TC board would help them out. 60w-75w maybe that can be powered by a single 18650. Maybe they will.

You are right that Evolv seems to have a hole at that wattage. Since the DNA200 is 130w capable on dual 18650s/2S lipo batteries, it would make sense for them to design a board with a 75w-100w range...it would slot right in their pricing structure at the $70 price point.
