@neX, the 75C does not have the signal-to-noise ratio to make "Allow on dubious coils." reliable for most coils. The 250C has an extremely clean signal. (Among other reasons, voltage step-down-only (250C) has lower noise than step-up/step-down (75C). Reviewers etc. tend to treat step-up/step-down as a feature but it's really a tradeoff. One that makes sense for a single battery mod, but a tradeoff nonetheless.) For your Clapton coil, if it is a mix of Kanthal and Stainless, more Stainless should get you into a usable range. Also, some coils and some wire are marketed as Stainless when they are not. To objectively find out, check Device Monitor. How much does Live Ohms change during your puff with the dual coil? For a real Stainless coil, you should see about a 20% rise in Live Ohms from cold. Real Stainless coils should work with no problem at all.

OK, So WHEN is this NEW software for the 75C coming out?
James replied to Joe M.'s topic in General Discussion
Here are the relevant Theme Designer fields for Replay, most important first, least important last: Atomizer -> Replay is the toggle for actually turning Replay on/off. You can throw a toggle of this on and be good to go. We also use it as a Condition to show Playing. Atomizer -> Can Replay Now means Atomizer -> Replay can actually be turned on right now. It corresponds to showing "Save Puff" and should be used as a Condition switching to a toggle for Atomizer -> Replay. Atomizer -> Can Replay corresponds to "Use Replay on this profile" and should be used as a Condition to change the UI if needed for Replay. For example, in our theme, we don't show the "Save Puff" box at all if Can Replay is false. Alternatively, any 250C theme will work. -
Will this temperature sensing bug ever be fixed?
James replied to Dejay's topic in EScribe, Software and Firmware
This is a tricky one. It's not a bug as much as a 'there is no good choice': When it's on, it tracks when you connect and disconnect coils to ask New Coil Yes/No, so the DNA has a good idea of what to do. You could have put on a new coil with similar, but not the same Cold Ohms. The DNA 75 doesn't know how long the device has been off. The coil is temperature sensing, and it is already hot in the battery swap case, so the measured Ohms will be higher, as you are encountering. Because it doesn't know how long it's been off, the DNA 75 would have to ask New Coil Yes/No every time it powers up, regardless of Ohms, even if it had been off for a few hours and you've swapped nothing. This would be very annoying. It can't use a threshold, say, "it must be within 5% to assume it's the same", because that would be unavoidably wrong any time you swap to a similar coil at the start of the day, and since the coil may still be hot (due to the tank being warm), it wouldn't necessarily be true anyway. Thoughts? -
No, Power mode is not necessarily better. If you are already comfortable with TC, by all means, TC with Replay is fine. I didn't expect people would combine the two, but the features are (mostly) orthogonal, so there is no reason it shouldn't work if you really want to do it. If it tastes better I am glad. Most folks (statistically 90%+, according to ECigStats) are using Power mode these days, and in that case Power mode with Replay is a vast improvement over Power mode alone. (When someone's having problems and trying to combine TC and Replay, I do think it's best to get one or the other working first instead of both at once.) I am curious about the coil that isn't working for you, though. What does its Live Ohms do in Device Monitor? Since you are combining Kanthal and SS316, if the rise in Ohms is too small the device may believe it's unable to do Replay properly on it. If you want the DNA 250C to give it a go anyway, in EScribe go to the Mod tab, Safety, and change "Restrict to viable coils." to "Allow on dubious coils." Let me know how that works for you.

If you view that coil in Device Monitor, does it have any meaningful rise in Live Ohms? As for Replay, our default theme has Profile 8 "Replay", which has the material Watts. Replay is really meant to be used in a simple configuration, where you'd ordinarily just specify a power and go. You *can* enable it on a temperature profile, but it's just a recipe for confusion in my opinion.

If it is saying the firmware is incomplete, that means the device is still working, but something went wrong while it was updating firmware. How far does it get before it says "The device did not respond"? Try the version of EScribe Suite at https://www.evolvapor.com/products/dna250color It is newer. Maybe you are running into a bug with an old version.
-
No. It has no effect on battery life. It can improve the accuracy of the displayed battery meter, but most themes show an icon instead of a percentage, so (for example) 85% versus 80% does not tend to matter.
-
That setting is only important on DNA 200 and 250. It is not necessary on 250C.
-
What version of MacOS are you running? You shouldn't need to do any of that. Try this from a Terminal: /Applicatons/"EScribe Suite.app"/Contents/MacOS/Main.app/Contents/MacOS/RunProgram It should run and if it doesn't launch properly, give an error. What error do you get? Thanks! James
-
Yeah. The 100W on 75C works on Boost, Preheat, and Replay. These are cases where higher power means lower time to vapor, hence shorter puffs. It's still a 75W board, but 100W can improve the vape.

Save Theme E-Scribe Mac Ver 2.0 SP13

Ah, the EScribe directories are under /Applications, which Apple makes read-only except for the administrator user. Glad it's working now -

If your device's battery wiring and batteries can handle 30A input, there is no problem. The board will limit input current (from the battery) based on the settings in the Mod -> Battery tab. If your device's 510 and output wiring can handle 30A output, there is no problem. The board will limit output current (to the atomizer) based on the settings in the Mod -> Electrical tab. Increasing the maximum output power on DNA 75 Color (International Edition) to 100W does not remove this protection, and heating of wiring is proportional to the square of the current going through it and is not wattage-dependent. So, as long as the device's batteries, input and output wiring can handle the current limits they were shipped with (as they should be), there is no problem increasing the max wattage of the output. Increasing the maximum currents, *that* is something that should be checked over with a manufacturer. DNA 75 Color (International Edition) allows a Max Peak Input Current of 35A and a Max Sustained Input Current of 30A, and if a manufacturer's wiring, batteries, etc. are good enough to handle that, 100W can be made to work down to a lower battery percentage.

@HarryHunt, one thing you can do is, go to the SS 316 profile for your device in EScribe Suite, and change Temperature to 'Off'. Upload this, select SS 316 and vape it at 35W. Check the Temperature check box in Device Monitor, it will show it but not limit it. Be sure to turn Temperature back on for SS 316 afterwards.

What directory you are trying to save into? As for loading the saved theme, what is the file extension? -
Escribe Bug Power Supply mode + kanthal power limit
James replied to Phillis's topic in EScribe, Software and Firmware
I think this is already fixed. I don't encounter it in EScribe Suite 2.0 SP13. What version are you running? -
Are you in Watts mode? There are two (overlapping) Watts fields on that screen. One (for temperature-sensing coils) looks like 10W 100F The other (for non-temperature-sensing coils) is centered and looks like 10W (Only one of the two shows on the real screen, depending on whether or not the profile's material is temperature-sensing.)
-
To change Watt Increments, launch Theme Designer and download the theme on your device. Go to the Screens tab, click Main Screen, click the Watts field you want to change. Go to Source, it will say "Coil power". Click Options. Change either Decimal Places or Step Size. Then upload the theme. Should work The "Go to Source, it will say "Coil power". Click Options." ought to be "double click the Watts field", but it has conditions so that doesn't work. It ought to be simpler. I'll add getting rid of that step to my To-Do list.

Escribe: thermal upload settings to device problem
James replied to mackman's topic in EScribe, Software and Firmware
Hmm. Could you private message me your settings .ecig file? Also, what language is your computer running in (English?)? Thanks! -
Hmm. Are all of your coils of very similar resistance? Maybe it thinks you are putting the same coil back on.
-
Make sure your user is a member of the plugdev group. EScribe Suite should suggest adding you automatically, but if it failed, doing that manually and logging off/on should give you the permission you need. (What permissions do you see in the /dev directory for hidraw devices?)
-
The 75C is a single-cell board and does not know anything about it if you are putting batteries in parallel. Also, its battery meter operates on voltage, not fuel gauging, so it doesn't need to know anything about the capacity of the batteries.
-
Ahh, your laptop runs at 1280x800... I don't have a scrollbar defined for that portion, actually. Will add to my to-do list. Thanks!

I've posted up the Linux version of EScribe Suite 2.0 SP13. @Pop7335, @Suomynona, out of curiosity, how are you launching EScribe Suite? From the icon? The script the icon launches is set up to move the menu bar into the application, avoiding bugs with Ubuntu's unified menu bar. It works for me on Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity.
