@SmokeyX Out of all the TC materials, SS904 and SS316 and rises the slowest. And 'temp protected' can come up from runaway ohms (which can easily be a build issue. Check your 510 positive on your atty is snug and your coil leads are under the hold down screws not squished to a side). What atty is this? @SmokeyX And what do you answer?

@SmokeyX You'll need to do a few things. Just stick to 1 of your mods. Plug in your mod, start escribe. Unlock the resistance and let it sit for 15 minutes. Describe the coil. Spaced or contact, material. Start Atomizer Analyzer and over the course of a minute tell me what it shows for the resistance. It will fluctuate. How much does it fluctuate, from what to what. Using your mod, remeasure the resistance. Start Device Monitor. On the left, click these checkboxes only. Power, power set, temperature, temperature set, cold ohms, live ohms. Take a puff or two, pause Device Monitor. Post screenshot of full screen (link in my signature line)

... including resistance lock, which is a massive thing if you use TC on stainless steel coils <- was asked by @SmokeyX I replied -> Actually it has NEVER been promoted or required with any DNA mod (unlike other brands). If your coil has been prepared properly (no hotspots, secured, solid 510) you should not need to ever lock the resistance. @SmokeyX new comment -> That's interesting. Hasn't been my experience. On a variety of SS316 coils homemade and pre-made and including round wire, that are typically from 0.3 to 0.4 ohms, I've had problems with 'temp protected' coming up before i can take a second drag on three DNA boards (two 75Cs and my current 100C). Maybe it's because I vape at a really cool temp, 130C or so, and because stainless resistance rises relatively quickly. On all three boards, if I don't lock and I'm lucky enough to not get a 'temp protected' message, I am asked constantly if I'm using a new coil. If I lock the resistance at the beginning, that's never an issue. Any ideas about why this is happening?

All I can understand is 2 words. Windows and USB. So here is a generic answer. Reboot PC. Try another cable and a different port, plugged directly into your PC.

I have never seen a file like that. Where did you find this file? What kind of material is this? Using escribe you can create a custom material profile with a TCR of 0,00114

Yes, with just 1 slight change. On the DM you see 'cold ohms' & 'live ohms'. I'll use that 'live' value from your last puff. (Which is odd, because the 'live ohms' should always be higher than 'cold') 3.45² (V) /0.948 (Ω) = 12.56 W or 12.6 W (rounded up) which is pretty close to the 12.61 shown in the 1st puff. So look at 2 examples. If that coil was .35Ω and .5Ω 3.45² (V) /0.35Ω = 34 W. 3.45² (V) /0.50Ω = 23.8 W If you can't get there with SS316, there is other material you can use. Something with a higher TCR.

See that 3.7V reading. Move your cursor 1/3 of the puff to the right and take another reading.

You need to build within the limitations of the chip. So build lower, and if you were to enable volts and current in the 'current puff' section you'll see it. Remember there's not boost for the battery voltage.

Turn down 'warmth'

RE-POSTING POST 2. AND QUOTING POST #5

Are you in a profile that supports boost? OR Go to a profile that supports boost punch (enabled), set it at 5 Using escribe 'device monitor', enable 'power' and 'power set', take a puff and watch that green line

Ideally restart Mac and with a different cable plugged in directly (not with a hub) and a different port. Start escribe and try to upload firmware If it fails/doesn't work Tools -> Diagnostics -> Reboot -> Hard reboot -> Try upload firmware again Lemme know how it works out.

Well, voltages are a sorta tricky thing. See what you said here So after a puff when the cell has recovered (just sitting there) we'll call the standing/unloaded voltage, and cell 2 shows 3.1 volts, yes it drops power while increasing the amps, If that's what your cell soft cutoff value is. You should be getting a 'weak battery' or flashing depending on what you set in escribe. As soon as cell 2 hits the hard coded minimum volts the mod won't fire and you get a 'check battery'. I thought you were already at 3.98 volts this morning? I'd let it sit there and charge until it's balanced.

Yup, that's how balance charging works. Painfully slow. IIRC it'll raise 1&3 to like 4.21 then drop them to 4.19, raise 2 a bit. Rinse and repeat for a long time. From the top of my head, looking at the board battery negative pad, that 1st jst pin is a ground, then cell 1, 2, 3. But I'd wait for @dwcraig1 to validate that. It should show a lower voltage.

How did you do those 3 discharges down to 3.1volts? Did you look at cell voltages at that time, and do you remember what each voltage was? Being wired serially, IMHO only cell 2 would have been 3.1 volts. Cell 1 and 3 should have been that ~.4volts higher. Maybe use a multimeter and check each cells voltage manually (via the white jst connector) and report back. Is this all new wiring and connectors? Like @dwcraig1 already said, it could take days plugged in for the mod to rebalance, if at all. I really don't understand your apprehension with his idea. By using a proper 18650 charger it would follow the proper charging protocols and cut off for that 1 cell.

From back in 2014 with the DNA40 you did NOT need to lock resistance for TC. Actually there was not even the ability to lock. But with the other manufacturer implementations you did. You might want to lock if you have shitty build or atty, but the correct answer is to fix your build. I am guessing you believe your stomach issues and hiccups are directly related to the temperature of your vape, or you've been inhaling toxic chemicals according to dicodes. I wish you luck. So what temperature did they say that occurs so you know to stay below and safe? Right there in the Results section of that article, the very first sentence, it shows vaping is less harmful than smoking. There is a lot crap written by a lot of people out there. This site is owned by Evolv and if we volunteer moderators spewed shit to their customers they would replace us in a heartbeat. When I say stuff that does not jive with what you read elsewhere, you should also question those persons. And just as an add on to your question #2. The TCR of a material/wire does not change due to gauge, as even shown here at Zivipf (https://bit.ly/3EC3Mtp) every single material listed with a TCR value is the same regardless of gauge.

Go to Zivipf. Find their TCR value for your wire. Maybe it's the one that says 400. From my NiFe post I usually 12-15 watts. And do NOT block ohms on a DNA mod. You never need/should do that. After your pre-burn you should let the coil cool to ambient/room temp and re-measure the resistance. Like 15 minutes tops for your wire/material. Those can all be true depending on how you vape. But don't you already do that in VW? Turn the watts up/down so it's not burning and flavorful? Haven't heard or read that. Vaping damages more than cigarettes?

There is already SS316 on your mod. That is fine. Your NiFe48 from zivipf should say what the TCR value is. I have a post about NiFe here to match/help with the zivipf value https://forum.evolvapor.com/files/file/1570-6-nife-material-files-and-tcr-list-for-all-dna-mods/ Use that to create a custom TCR file for your mod. There is also an Inowire profile from someone else. I have no clue about authenticity or correctness. NOT TRUE at vaping temperatures. Notice I said low power. Whenever you see shit like that ask what temperature that occurs. May I ask why you are so against Replay? It's a much simpler way to get dry burn protection. MOST people don't even use TC the way it was intentioned. It has always been 'Temperature Protection', a limit your coil should not exceed. MOST think their coil should rise rapidly to the set temp and stay there.

Why do you say that? TC without Replay is the normal way. TC with Replay is a hybrid only few should ever use and brings complexity. Replay with no material curve is the normal way. Do you own those wires right now? Download the proper material curves into your mod, and use them in your profiles. 1. You can simulate a build in steam-engine. There is nothing special OR a spaced build the span of the connectors OR build to an ohm range. 2. None whatsoever. A thicker wire (lower awg) might be easier to coil. A thinner wire will heat up quicker. 3. Absolutely yes. Low power to burn off oils and make sure it's heating from the center out. Plus you get to see if it's got hot legs. 4. Snug through the coil. 5. No. Internally some things are different. The temp on any DNA should be the same. 6. Out of your 3, the NiFe so long as you use the proper TFR/TCR. Are you a new vaper? Are you new to DNA mods?

How long did they last when not using Replay? Why do you think Replay is causing them to burn quickly? Is this a new ejuice?
