    I still really like my reuleaux DNA 200 . could I send it to Evolv, purchase a 250, and have them install it for me?



    Don't believe they offer that type of service.  There are a lot of "modders" around that may be able to help ya out....it will take more work than just changing the board...

    Lost Vape Triade DNA200

    When I plug into my PC and run device monitor the battery "level" check box shows me "error". All other lines are showing data and my batteries are balanced and properly working. Any ideas on what would cause this and how I might be able to resolve it?

    ]

    So your device works properly otherwise?  What is the Pack voltage and individual cells voltages.  Maybe you could post a screenshot of the Device Monitor data.... Does it charge properly?

    Yeah, I already have an open ticket, their initial response was that it sounds like a problem with the 510 wiring, which it isn't.



    So, have you replied back to them (feature inside the ticket whereby you can reply back) and have you given them more info...may help.....

    Heck, when Evolv gets back to you on the latest ticket submitted why not package them up together and ship them.  You can print another RMA form and have it filled out and ready. Evolv assigns a Tracking ID and a Ticket Number for each ticket. You also need to comment on each RMA form what the issue is with that device. It would help to also list the serial number of the dna board on the RMA form so they will know which device goes with which RMA.

    Wondering.... at what wattage do you dry burn your coils and for how long?

    @jamtwo,  I've seen, many times, where  Evolv has replaced boards that were damaged by the end user during installation, or even out of warranty, even though it was not covered by the warranty. I understand your frustration but can't agree with your evaluation of Evolv as a company and their product(s).  

    Can you post  pictures  of your build showing only the board (front and back) and the wiring as we may be able to do a bit of long distance visual troubleshooting and possibly assist you. I do see cold solder joints and a missing ground pad in your post 1 picture. A picture of the battery and the attached connector (s) would be helpful also.

    Lots of folks here that really try to help .......  :thumb:

    @whiteowl84 ....  They should get back with you and @so619Cal.  I filed a ticket on Wednesday and received a reply yesterday.  Don't know what all the daughter board does.  Some devices with daughter boards have or control auxiliary switches, and other things. Can't say for sure, when it's not firing, that it's the board.  What do you mean "it won't fire"?  When you press the fire button I thought you said you were getting messages like ohm's too low or check atomizer. The atty won't fire but those messages mean something was detected and until that is corrected it's not going to fire. That can be many things not board related.  

    At any rate Evolv will get-er-done.... Best company I've ever dealt with when it comes to Customer Service.

    (short rank, not aimed at you guys) I really have to bite my tongue when someone tries to bash Evolv on other forums and facebook site and they immediately, without even doing any troubleshooting, say the board is bad. (short rant concluded) 

    Evolv's datasheets has a list of the error messages and an explanation of what that error may mean.

    Please keep us updated on your progress guys....  :)

    It seems your vendor is willing to work with you so you might just send both devices back for repair or replacement.  It sounds like your issues are not related to the Evolv circuit board. If you feel the issues are with Evolv's board you can fill out a ticket with Evolv explaining the problems and they will reply back to you.

    I also saw that this vendor states that HCigar warranty's are handled by Evolv BUT only Evolv can verify that for certain. You might ask them if you file a ticket.

    You could also contact HCigar at:

    http://www.hcigar.com/index.php/Info/view/cid/406.html

    As a side note: It is always advisable to have a back-up device should your main squeeze quit working.

    Good luck....

    I suggest again contacting Gearbest for warranty repair or replacement.

    You can also submit a ticket with Evolv at:

    Explain your issue and they will reply back to you.  I guess they could have you remove and send the DNA200 circuit board to them or send the device but that is their call.

    Note that the copper slug, as you call it, is used to determine "mod resistance".  Running Case Analyzer analyzes the "thermal properties".  The copper slug is not used to do the Case Analysis.

    The battery should be about half charge, or less, when starting the Case Analyzer.  This analysis is very time consuming so be patient....  good luck....

  17. ohms too high "error"

    in EScribe, Software and Firmware

    Posted

    Yep I see your thought process and rational.  I  think the ohm's too high is better fitted.  An example:  167 watts with a .4 ohm coil (using your device) gives 8.17 volts.  Fully charged dual batteries can't get there thus the ohm's too high for the set wattage. They are not weak batteries.   Good conversation for others to read I think and chime in if they want.  I'm not a high wattage guy thus never get ohm's too high nor weak battery message so I'm waiting for the DNA60 as I love tiny devices.  Can't wait to build one...  :)

  18. ohms too high "error"

    in EScribe, Software and Firmware

    Posted

    From you post 77 watts @ 0.4 ohms gives 5.54 volts.  Fully charged adequate batteries should work depending on battery sag level.  As the battery level reduces the ohm's are too high for the wattage setting and the reduced battery voltage.  Thus the ohm's too high message.  Reduce the wattage and the battery still has adequate voltage for that reduced wattage.  It is not weak batteries it is just reduced voltage of the batteries falling below the required voltage needed to support the wattage you set.  Voltage sag plays a big part also.  Firing voltage is different than resting voltage.  At least these are my thoughts.  I'm not saying anything you don't already know.  I'm not familiar with the 30Q batteries but aren't they 15A batteries?

    Also, as an update after running 60's for a few months - they are fantastic little chips. Truly amazing. Perfect balance of functionality/technology and form factor.



    Good news....... I'm jealous as I have no DNA60....  9_9

  21. ohms too high "error"

    in EScribe, Software and Firmware

    From the DNA250 data sheet:

    Weak Battery: The battery needs to be charged, or a higher rate battery needs to be used. If this happens, the DNA 250 will continue to fire the atomizer, but will not be able to provide the desired wattage. The Weak Battery message will continue to flash for a few seconds after the end of puff.

    Ohms Too High: The resistance of the atomizer coil is too high for the current wattage setting. If this happens, the DNA 250 will continue to fire, but will not be able to provide the desired wattage. The Ohms Too High message will continue to flash for a few seconds after the end of puff.

    Output Voltage .5 Volt (min)  9.3 Volts(max)

    Input Voltage 9.0 Volts (min)  11.1 Volts (typical)  12.6 Volts (max)

  22. SS316L Help

    THX for the screenshots.... I see nothing that jumps out to me except the coils you are using should be good at between 55 and 65 watts at between 450 and 530 degrees F.  You might raise the preheat up to 100 watts and see if that helps. The coils I use are different specs than yours thus I can vape at lower wattage and temp but they are Aspire coils.  I assume you have good wicking of the juice (not too thick).

    Device is LostVape Therion DNA133 (based on DNA200)

    I tried not to lock ohms - the same result.

    Where can I get profiles provided by Evolv?

    I'll post a screenshot a bit later, thank you!



    You can get the materials from Evolv EScribe:  (you may already have them in the available material list)

    Open EScribe with no device connected.
    Click on EvolvDNA200. (under Edit New Settings)
    Go to Materials.
    Click on the desired material from  the Available List.
    Select the "Export Material" Icon (below the Available Materials). Save to computer.

    With device connected to EScribe, then use the Import Material Icon below Available Materials to import the saved material(s).  Add the Available Material to the Materials on Device and then build your profile in the General Tab as usual.

  25. SS316L Help

    I'm new to DNA devices and have problem.
    Absolutely can't get my aspire cleito tank work properly with TC on DNA200 device (therion dna133(200)) o.O 
    I use SS316L 0.4ohms prebuilt replacement coils.

    Tried to use and preinstalled SS316L profile.
    I set recommended watt values (55-65W), lock ohms, set temperature, but vapor is too cold and flavourless, even at 600F.
    The most awkward thing that these coils work properly on evic vtc mini, and it's great at 420-430F.
    Have no idea how to get it work. Please, help!

     


    I too use Aspire prebuilt coils (and prebuilt coils of other brands) and have used them for years.  I have no issues as you are having. I never lock ohm's but always start off with a "cold" atty and "cold" device. Both atty and device are at what we call "room temperature".   They usually refine down no more than about 0.02 ohms max after vaping the new coil.  With the SS316L DNA profile (Evolv's provided profile) they work great.

    NOTE:  Aspire SS316L coil setting for me is 25watts @ 420-430F with 75 watts preheat and premade SS316L Notch coils by Wismec use the same setting.

    What device do you have and can you post a screenshot of the device's Mod Settings from EScribe? Electrical and Thermal Settings are important.
