Here's your .po file with quotes corrected. (The right-side quotes were the wrong kind.) It translates. The Atomizer Analyzer dialog does not seem to be resizing, though. That's a bug I'll need to fix. EScribe-QuotesFixed.po

There must not be an extra line between msgid and msgstr. Also, all quotes must be "

Hello @copyman! Here are the strings: msgid "For an atomizer to work reliably with temperature protection, it must make good contact so as to not change Ohms arbitrarily. Because temperature-sensing atomizers tend to be low-Ohm, the mechanical design can make a big difference, in a way that is not evident when an atomizer is being used for power control only." msgstr "translation" msgid "Many atomizer designs provide stable Ohms, but we have encountered cases of poor contact not only with loosened connections, but with (seemingly) tight ones. This analyzer is meant to help you determine whether the atomizer you are using is sufficiently well-designed to work reliably with temperature protection. It will measure once per second." msgstr "translation" msgid "To test, slowly change how tightly screwed in your atomizer connection is, and see if the Ohms changes significantly as you turn, or if certain positions have different Ohms. Ideally, your atomizer Ohms should be stable." msgstr "translation" msgid "Note: Recent puffs may mean the atomizer is still hot. Because Ohms is temperature-sensing, it will change until the temperature reaches equilibrium. Also, this analyzer will slightly warm the atomizer." msgstr "translation" Thank you! James

Hi @copyman! Thanks for this. Could you please post it to https://forum.evolvapor.com/files/category/12-translations/? If you do not put it in a .zip (this forum should allow attaching .po files), in EScribe 2.0 someone can install it easily by going Help->Languages->Install. By the way, I just got a Bulgarian translation for this forum (from https://invisionpower.com/files/file/8529-bulgarian-translation-ips-4xx/). Does it seem good quality in your opinion? Thanks! James

DNA devices have a Weak Battery feature, where as the battery voltage sags due to inability to deliver the desired power, it will lower its demands until the battery can meet it. So, a lower current battery may appear to work. It may, however, begin to show Weak Battery at a higher percentage of charge. This isn't a failure on the device's part -- the battery just can't deliver. (As an aside, many people lower their Soft Cell Cutoff thinking it will give them more battery life. This is lowering Voltage 5-10% to increase Current hours by 2%. Nobody is vaping Current. Power is Voltage x Current.) A good, high current battery will cost $7-8 these days, while a lower current battery will cost about $5, and a horrible battery will cost about $3. So up-front a high current battery will cost about $3 more each. Keep in mind, though, vaping is a fairly high power pulsed load for a battery. Let's look at two batteries... (1) Samsung INR18650-25R is a 2500 mAh battery, and will give you 2400 mAh at 30A. (See page 9 of the datasheet I've attached: INR18650-25R-datasheet.pdf) It's a power tool battery. (2) I found this on Google Image Search for 18650 battery. No idea what battery it is, but judging by the appalling current, it's clearly prehistoric. Probably $2 on eBay these days: If you vape three of these in a DNA 250, you might get 60W, and you'll get under half the rated capacity. This is rated at 2400 mAh. And that's not wrong. It's just a flashlight battery. When you vape up near a battery's limit, it's going to be generating a lot more heat. This is lost power. The battery may also have reduced cycle life, meaning it will lose the capacity it does have more quickly as the year goes by. So you'll have to get a new one sooner, and then you haven't saved money. Underspecified batteries are a false economy. For vaping, you want a power tool battery, not a flashlight battery. For a DNA 75, by the way, due to it being 1-cell instead of 3-cell, the battery needs to deliver three times as much current for the same power setpoint. So for 75W (or 75W preheat at a lower power), you need a really good battery.

What material is your coil? If it is rising that much, I am guessing it is temperature-sensing. Do you have temperature protection disabled, or are you using a profile whose material is set to Watts? Otherwise, if the device is allowed to temperature protect, it will kick over to a display of the Cold Ohms, which does not change live.

Good catch! I've fixed the Inbox message limit.

On-Board Memory is used for wallpapers, fonts, and screen configuration. Off-Board Memory is used for meters, pictures, and toggles, unless they update live, in which case they go in On-Board Memory. In the event Off-Board Memory is full, it *should* automatically move extra pictures into On-Board Memory. If it's not doing that (as it sounds like), that is a bug. Could you send me your ecigtheme?

@giz_60 Like DNA 75, DNA 75 Color uses an integrated charging chip and has no way of knowing the USB current level. It does get a charge status from the chip, but it's off/on. As a result, what it shows there is basically a middle-of-the-road estimate of what it expects it to be. It will show either be 0.00 if not charging or 0.75 if charging (or 0.25 if in a safety low-current charging mode).

This bug is fixed in EScribe 2.0 SP1. Thanks!

It's still here at the new forum:

What are the USB Voltage and Board Temperature doing alongside that USB Current?

Whatto: I can't speak on the external charger mentioned in this thread, but, is your battery nearly full (4.2V) when the charge is falling off? If so, this is actually correct behavior - lithium ion battery chargers charge at full current until the battery reaches its maximum voltage, after which point they let the current fall off so as to not exceed that maximum voltage.

I've posted up SP1. This Service Pack corrects minor bugs, and most significantly, it won't lose your DNA 60/75/200/250 theme settings any more. This should be usable on those DNA products. Let me know if you run into anything.

I'm glad people are trying EScribe 2.0 with other boards. That's how the bugs and kinks will get worked out.

Thanks! I've fixed this.

Good catch. I have fixed this. It will be working in the next EScribe service pack.

Good catch. I've fixed this for the next EScribe service pack.

Make sure the board is well-grounded. If the grounding screws are making poor contact, Ohms can shift as power rises. 1.2 SP5 introduced an overtemperature failsafe (that is, if it measures a temperature well over what it should be controlling at, it assumes the wire is out of control and cuts power). In practice this does not occur often, but it can due to Ohms misreading if you have a grounding issue. Barring everything else, you can certainly revert back to SP3. EScribe should be compatible with it long-term. If it ever stops being compatible let us know.

What browser and operating system are you running? It's working for me in Chrome, Firefox, and IE.

I will be posting early versions of EScribe Suite 2.0 to this thread from now on.

Device Monitor will correct the time when it connects to the device. Also, if you use ECigStats, it will correct the time after it synchronizes with the device (if you have made one or more puffs since the last time you plugged in). The board has enough energy storage to preserve the clock through a (quick) battery swap.

4.2V does not mean charge is complete. Just as there is a voltage drop when you pull power from a battery, there is a voltage rise when you push power into a battery. When a battery is first charging, 1A is not enough to push the voltage to its target value. (This stage is called Constant Current charging. It takes about 2/3 of the time of charging.) When the voltage (while charging) reaches 4.2V, the charger essentially balances the voltage rise from charging with how far under the voltage would be if it weren't charging. If you click Diagnostics->Disable Charging, you can see this: the battery voltage will drop to its real level. (Be sure to enable it again. ) If the charger did not do this, as the current tapered off, it might end up above 4.2V. (This stage is called Constant Voltage charging. It takes about 1/3 of the time of charging.) This second stage is what you are seeing, most likely. It should eventually finish.
