Boost and punch

[MrToast]

Hi all, 

My first post here so please be gentle 

I've just got my first DNA device, a Paranormal 250c and I'm loving it after 24 hours 

Could someone explain boost and punch to me

 

TIA

Welcome

They are both forms of preheat.

Boost is used for kanthal or nichrome. It raises the wattage at the start of the puff to get wire up to temp quickly. It lasts around one second into the draw.

Punch does the same thing as boost but for temp sensing wires.

It is adjusted in 11 steps. The amount of wattage increase is around  1/11 of the boards maximum output.  About 18 watts per step for the Paranormal. The amount of time and amount of increase will vary depending how the coil resistance changes in t/c and replay mode. It can be seen using EScribes device monitor.

Hope this helps
