INTRO
The brand-new Geekvape Z100C DNA pod mod is here! We were thrilled to find that Geekvape was making a pod mod vape that was powered by a DNA chipset. It’s one of the few upgrades to a pod that has temperature control. With a maximum output of 100W and precise temperature control for five distinct coil types between 100 and 315°C, the Z100C DNA pod mod is a powerful device. It just needs one 21700 or 18650 battery, has a 5ml vape juice capacity, and supports Type-C rapid charging. It boasts a cutting-edge CPU in addition to appealing Wattage Boost and Replay mode to outshine its competitors. This evaluation of the Geekvape Z100C DNA contains all the benefits and drawbacks based on many days of trying the kit. By the way, we highlight parts of the text that we like in green and parts that we don’t like in red to make reading easier. Continue reading to find out whether the Geekvape Z100C DNA pod mod is your favourite.

DESIGN & QUALITY
The Geekvape Z100C DNA kit comes with a sizable mod. The Black Carbon Fiber sample that we received is primarily matte black metal. Two bits of the glossy panels that are implanted in the two bigger faces by Geekvape add a small amount of decoration. The panels have simple braided designs with black and mazarine blue interlaced. If you don’t like this colour scheme, the Z100C DNA mod is also available in black blue, silver red, and blue-green. They like to utilise colours that are more vivid. Given that, I suppose the design goal of this new version is simply to maintain a low profile or produce a traditional corporate atmosphere. The mod on the Z100C DNA has a cube-shaped body and smooths out all of its edges for improved performance and plush grips. We adore how stylish and ergonomic this combination is. All of the remaining functional elements are located on one narrower face, together with the display screen. The fire key, display screen, +, enter, -, and charging port are all visible in turn, displaying a tidy and practical arrangement. Naturally, the fire key has been scaled larger. The key works, regardless of its larger size or the location in which it is placed. The screen itself is sufficiently bright and displays a fair rate of refreshing. By the way, we may change the display’s brightness. The mod’s top piece is identical to previous top sections in appearance; it has a hollow in which magnetic pogo pins are placed to hold the pod in place. Mod and pod may lock together firmly. To demonstrate that the pod couldn’t fall off, we made a strong effort to shake the entire apparatus.
POD
A distinguishing feature of the Geekvape Z100C DNA pod is its lightness. Given the 5ml size, I don’t believe it to be a very tiny, skinny pod. Actually, the reverse is true. Although quite substantial, this pod is light in the meantime. From the side, we fill the pod. The filling is complete when you remove the rubber cap and squeeze e-liquid within. Some vapers find the side fill to be problematic, and one of their main concerns is that every refill can result in a gunky device. For this pod, it’s not the case, though. No matter which way we turn it, it doesn’t leak at all. Whether we like to admit it or not, side fill has an advantage over top fill in that it doesn’t need us to first remove a top cap. Thus, we may say that we enjoy it. The transparent casing of the e-liquid reservoir allows us to see the level of liquid within. It just takes a while to distinguish the liquid from the almost-black shell itself since the shell’s hue is too dark for rapid examination. The pod features the recognisable AFC design from Geekvape, which includes a top air ring on the exterior and a top-to-bottom airflow system to enhance flavour within. Consider the popular Geekvape Z line, which includes RDAs and sub-ohm tanks. The finest airflow system currently available minimises flavour delivery sacrifices while preventing leaks. The AFC ring is simple to spin and completely adjustable. We had no problems pushing the coils in because they are press-fits. However, it takes a lot of force to remove a coil. Or, more accurately, you can’t pry it off with your bare hands. A wrench-like tool is included in the box to help with this problem.
BATTERY & CHARGING
The Geekvape Z100C DNA uses a single battery that is compatible with both 21700 and 18650 dimensions. Its battery holder has just enough room for a 21700; if you wish to add a 18650 instead, as we did, utilise the kit’s battery adaptor. It’s nice to have that cute item on hand. Let’s go on to the mod base’s battery door. It is made of the same matte black plastic that covers the mod’s body and looks and feels really high-end. The door opens by just pulling a toggle on it slightly backwards, causing it to bounce open. But as we shut the door again, we encountered a setback. We had the identical problem with the Voopoo Argus GT II mod: the door wouldn’t latch as long as we pressed down on its front end. Do you believe this is a frequent problem with this type of closing mechanism, Emm? A Type-C 3A charging port is included with the mod and is located underneath the function buttons. Since it’s not on the base, we can charge the gadget without having to set it down and worry about a leak. However, throughout our testing, this mod never leaks. But in any case, it’s encouraging to see that 3A rapid charging has almost become a requirement for all mod kits introduced this year. We will have less bother if charging takes less time.
PERFORMANCE
We utilised the Blue Razz by Candy King (3mg) to test the Geekvape Z100C DNA kit, and most of the time we vaped at the highest wattage advised for each coil. For the 0.4-inch coil, use 60 or 85 watts. Given that it is only a pod mod according to Geekvape’s definition, the pod mod generally boasts top-rated vapour output and taste intensity. Huge clouds keep pelting us with fierce winds. Throughout the tests, there were no burned tastes. It actually outperforms any usual pod modifications in terms of performance.

CONCLUSION
The Geekvape Z100C DNA has outperformed most of its rivals as a pod mod vape. The gadget takes seriously providing genuinely all-around temperature management, along with various adaptable modes to fulfil customising needs. Although completely proficient, it doesn’t require a lot of navigational knowledge. Battery life may be days, and refills are simple and convenient. Most significantly, both flavour and vapour production are out of this world. The major problem with it is the user handbook. If the descriptions were more precise, it would be more user-friendly for newcomers. There is no doubt that the prices are excessive. Don’t be hesitant to get it if the price is not your deciding factor.
