  1. techbearus, if you are using three different atomizers in the same profile you're probably better off with Ohm Lock off, as if it is working right that means your 510 is relatively stable/good. Ohm Lock isn't meant to be used if you are switching atomizers on the same profile. (Some people set up one profile per atomizer, though.)

  2. If anyone is interested in helping translate EScribe into their native language, I've posted a Github:

    https://github.com/Evolvapor/EScribeTranslations

    You can edit these and send pull requests for changes. (Or use a software like TortoiseGit, or e-mail.) It being on Github should make it easier to make corrections etc. hopefully. (Does anyone know if there is a better service for this for translations?) Thank you! :)

  3. Most of the benefit of logging in is for manufacturers.

    Production Utility (in Tools) requires being logged in. Production Utility does link the serial number to a manufacturer, so that when you click Get Information, it will say the name they entered for their account as who it was produced by.

    On request, we can also mark an account's manufacturer profile as 'confirmed'. Doing this makes it say "Confirmed" in Get Information, which serves as a bit of a 'genuine check' for the mod, instead of just for the board.

    I'd add some user benefits to logging in if I could think of any to offer. :)

    Pressing fire button on device reboots device and escribe can see it if I connect through device monitor & appears to work.  Pulled cable & reloaded https://www.dimensionengineering.com/software/SetupES_2015-08-07.exe completely same thing happens when I try to update firmware, even when I try to roll it back to 2015-07-16.sw-update.



    How do you know pressing the fire button reboots the device specifically? What behavior are you seeing? Does something display on the device screen? If you see anything on screen, that rules out it being a firmware issue. If Device Monitor works then your firmware is working. What are you seeing for battery voltage? I wonder if something is wrong with your battery connector. When you use Device Monitor, are you able to fire? Or does it say CHECK ATOMIZER? (What are the battery voltages reading? Keep in mind, battery voltage is read over the balancer taps, whereas power actually comes from the main connector (JST in the Hana's case).)
  5. Google for LiPo discharge curves, or the discharge curve for your particular battery to see what will happen.

    You will see that capacity does not advance much at all once you are in the 3V range - at that point a LiPo battery is essentially drained. Weak Battery will move horizontally along that curve to lower C levels until it finds what the battery can sustain at its current state of charge, allowing you to use all the capacity available at lower C levels.

    You can see on these curves that the 10C line will end at a lower capacity than 5C, which ends at a lower level than 1C, etc. When the battery is really low, it simply can't do 50W, and a few puffs later, can't do 40, 30, etc. But we have it give you what the battery can stably give. Letting the battery fall even further before reducing the current demanded of it won't help.

    Without the Weak Battery feature (it's not just a warning message), you see the capacity falls off a cliff on those discharge curves? You'd be done already. Unless your battery connections have a ton of resistance, lowering it is unlikely to buy you more than a percent or two.

  6. combatwombat: Ideally, using the battery analyzer with a sufficiently sized resistor block for an atomizer. If your battery is a standard 3S LiPo, the curve won't change substantially. That'll just tell you what the actual battery life is.

    If it jumps around substantially, chances are your battery has very different voltage from the stock settings (less likely) or the wrong capacity set (more likely.

    Also, once you change the watt-hours setting, it's good to let the battery fully charge so that it has the correct starting point. What battery are you using and what watt-hours do you have, out of curiosity?
