Performance

Pros:

• Tasteful branding
• Nicely etched logo
• Easy to use software interface
• Relatively small size

Conclusion

The Drag mod is an aesthetically pleasing box with straight lines and tasteful branding that is well put together. The square edges of the box a feel a bit “sharp” compared to a lot of mods with rounded edges, but it’s not uncomfortable to hold and use. The weight is surprising for a smallish box, and may prove to be a bit burdensome, even in a front jeans pocket – so forget about a shirt pocket. And now there has new resin edition for choice.
On the plus side, the mod performed exactly as promised, and I loved the 1-watt adjustment increment, which made scrolling through the wattage setting much faster. It’s a minor thing but such a peeve of mine that the first thing I do with my DNA mods is change the increment to 1-watt in Escribe.
