Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Preva DNA Kit from Wismec. The WISMEC PREVA DNA Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ella from Sourcemore.

Introduction
The Wismec Preva DNA Kit is the premium version of the also released standard Preva kit which houses the DNA Go board making it a direct competitor to the Orion. On first looks the Preva DNA has plenty to trump the original Orion DNA Go but then seems a little outdated stacked up against the Orion Plus leaving me a little confused. The Preva DNA is a very good device but just leaves me feeling it needed updating before release to take on the Orion Plus rather than the original Orion which would make it more relevant, but let's take a look anyway!

In The Box
Contents:
1 x PREVA DNA Battery
1 x PREVA SS316 Dual 0.25ohm Cartridge (Pre-installed)
1 x PREVA KTR 0.5ohm Cartridge
1 x USB Cable
1 x User Manual
1 x Warning Card

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Preva DNA came in nice sturdy clear plastic packaging and even when packaged looks a classy premium product. For a pod/AIO device the Preva DNA is heavy but in a good way as it just feels and looks high quality. I will leave most of it's description down to the pictures but must say it has an Aegis look to me and i really do like it both aesthetically and ergonomically.

The Pod/Cartridge
Included is 2 different pods which are closed so the coil can't be replaced which for me is a big con as i would much sooner replace just the coil when required rather than the whole pod. The pods are tinted but the e-liquid level can be easily seen along with the large amount of cotton used for wicking. The pods have adjustable airflow and the drip tip is a standard 510 fit so you can use your own if you prefer, also the pods have a neat slide open top-fill method i will cover in the next section. The pods look identical but are clearly labelled on the base, the pre-installed pod hosts a 0.25ohm SS316L dual parallel coil for DL, the other hosts a Kanthal 0.50ohm coil for MTL.
Looking at the base of the pod we can see the 2 indented contacts to one side and the entire base section is metallic. The pods hold 2ml of e-liquid but there are also 3ml pods available.

Adjustable Airflow and Filling
Underneath where the 510 drip tip gets fitted we have an airflow control ring with dual cyclops which gives quite good adjustability, the ring is quite loose but doesn't move on it's own accord so i quite like it as adjustments can be made with little effort.
The top of the pod also has a grooved section that can be slid open to reveal a fair sized fill port. The samples that were sent out had reviewers liking the fill method but not the membrane which meant needle tipped bottles were needed but Wismec listened and the retail version pods do not have a membrane making filling very quick and mess free, excellent job!
___________________________________________________________________
Fitting the pod
Unlike the Orion pods that get fitted via a clip the pods on the Preva DNA just get secured via magnets but there is very little play while removing the pod is still very easy.
looking inside the pod bay we can see towards one side the spring loaded contacts then a central large magnet and 2 smaller magnets in 2 of the corners.
If there is one complaint it's only the very top of the pod that protrudes out of the device so to check your liquid level the pod needs removing from the device.
