  1. Unless I missed something the DNA200 and the DNA133 are the same board and use the same firmware but the settings are configured a bit different for the battery and balance charging and wiring of the balance connector is a bit different for 2 cell configuration.  Are they not having firmware issues with the DNA133??   Getting more puzzled..... If it were me and I liked the DNA200 VS, and Vapor Shark is still selling new ones, I would have them give me another new one. If it comes and works great then you are done, but if it still is DOA then you are still in the same position you are now in...  just my thoughts.... again good luck...

    I'm still waiting on a firmware update for my VaporShark DNA 200 since it arrived DOA. Battery drains and won't charge but since VS says it's a know general firmware issue there's not a whole lot that can be done about it. I could return it for a different mod or wait for an update. Evolv is still working on it I suppose hopefully and I'll be in business haha. It's my first DNA piece so I've been sitting on this for 3 weeks not even being able to use it haha.



    I don't recall it being a general firmware issue with Evolv boards but then again it may be a general firmware issue with the VS, as they use special boards built for them by Evolv... My thought is you should get it replaced by VS....  ASAP....

    you could also just pick 4 profiles and repeat them 1-4 and 5-8, so cycling through profiles it would keep cycling through these 4 profiles as if there were only 4...



    You really don't have to scroll thru the profiles. Just use the up and down buttons to move up or down from the current profile.

    Lots of shills trolling and not a single intellectual response to the points I raised. Carry on high-fiving each other and buying products that are no longer developed...

    Try responding to the lack of escribe development since November 2015, broken promises for mac software that have been made since 2015 and the better SS TC curve on the DNA 75 that has not been provided on the "top of the line" DNA 200. 

    Be well...



    For years Evolv has brought new things and even as the latest is being marketed Evolv was/is already working on one or two newer things. Even as the DNA200 and DNA75 is being marketed the DNA60 has become a reality and a DNA250 is rumored.  

    Escribe is ever changing and being updated.  It was updated to accept the DNA75 and will need to be updated to accept the DNA60 and the rumored DNA250 if the rumor is true. EScribe has had many updates since November of 2015.  I just checked and May 5, 2016 was the digital signature of the latest EScribe software. Firmware updates are given only after they are "debugged as best as can be" to the public.  Firmware must be compatible to the hardware.  

    The TC curve in the DNA75 is the exact same curve shown in the DNA200. The hardware and technology is different between the two DNA's thus the difference in operability with SS316.  I feel that we may see a firmware update (within the limitations of the hardware) in due time as Evolv always strives to provide the best in vape technology and customer service.  

    Alot of folks have been able to and are  running EScribe on their Mac's.  Can you not do this?

    And we can plainly see that the FDA Demming Reg's are now severely impacting the vaping industry. It seems to me that businesses must prioritize and address the most significant challenges of which the Mac software, in my opinion, is on the list but not that high on the  ''To Do" list  when you read the FDA Deeming Reg's.  I ask that you read them.

    Hopefully these comments are beneficial as they are not given for debate purposes and will be my only post on this subject.

    Have a great day all.

    EDIT 3 hours later:  Evolv just announced the DNA250.............  :)  AND I QUOTE WHAT IS SAID ABOUT THE DNA250:  

    Smoother control system for Stainless Steel wire with Temperature Protection

    (This is a firmware update and is also available for the 200, giving it a similar control structure to the DNA 75)

  5. Take it back to them.... for one thing current doesn't flow thru the DNA board mounted fire button like a mech mod so you shouldn't be getting a hot button.  Something is going on with your device if you get a really bad hot button. Surely they didn't wire a line switch between the battery and the board??????

    If you are vaping 80/90 watts then I think the battery longevity is about right. Since you just got it just have them replace it or refund.

    I emailed them here hanamodz1@gmail.com in the subject line of the email I put "V4 broken part" explained to them what was wrong and included a picture so they could see what was wrong.



    If you try that and cannot get a answer from them. I have two extra of those parts, if yours broke where mine did I would send you one of mine. You can install the part pretty easily as it has screws that hold the whole latch together.

    I think maybe they are just not answering on Facebook anymore.

    edit: I have three of those parts here they sent me. That part of the latch is plastic and if you over tighten the screws they split.



    Mine broke exactly where yours did and I also e-mailed Hana @ hanamodz1@gmail.com and never got a reply so I e-mailed them again and still no reply. What a bummer.
  7. From my understanding the batteries charge to 100% and the charger stops charging. If the device is left plugged in to charge the batteries have to discharge to a certain level before the charger circuit activates again.  So you will see a 99%. 98%, etc. charge level when left to charge overnight.  Normal operation as I understand it.

    My DNA device profiles are setup with one material across all profiles. The difference in each profile being temp, wattage, and boost. 

    It would be handy to be able to change only the material across all profiles at one time on the device itself. Right now I have to either change one profile at a time or plug into Escribe which for me means launching a virtual machine as I use a MacBook. Bit of a PITA...

    Is this possible? If not now, maybe in an update? 



    So you vape at the same temps/wattage, and boost profile settings no mater what wire material you use?

    Well that's lame lol, but thanks for the quick response.



    Work around.... using EScribe

    1. Go to Materials Tab and click on the “cross” (new material) icon. You now have a wire type naned “unnamed”. Click on “unnamed” and type in “Name” and “on screen name”. (name the new material maybe something like “Empty”). Un-check Temperature Sensing. Now add the new material to the “ Materials on Device” list (click on the arrow to add the new material to the right hand material list).
    2. Go to the General Tab and select a profile you want to change.  Type in the Name and On Screen Name.  Select the Coil Material (the coil material you added in step 1 above).  Now change the Power under Settings to 1 watt.  Upload the profile.
    3. Repeat (or copy) for each profile you are not wanting to use and upload.

    You should now have 8 profiles with those not being used shown as “Empty”.

    Thank you very much Nick for the information. Looks great!

    @retird
    If anybody else now wants to do something like this the information is available for every one in here and not only in my email inbox. ;)



    Yep, it is great that Nick responded.  Many times we can and do post e-mail information after we receive it to help the community.

    Please post a picture of your completed device as we like to see and share what others have designed. Modding may take on a whole new meaning after August 8 IMO.

    My VS DNA 200 arrived with drained battery exactly like this last week. They say it's a general firmware issue that they're working on, thats causing the battery to drain when not in use and over discharge I guess. Hoping an update will fix it when released. Just not sure if I'll need a new battery as well.



    Must be a VaporShark specific issue as none of my many DNA200's drain the battery even after weeks of non-use.  
  12. The Notch coil has a lot of mass (surface area) ....  strange animal in temp mode.... I've tried many different temp, wattage, and preheat settings and when the vape doesn't reach set temp it is pretty smooth but a setting that reaches temp setting gives a very different and less smooth graph after it gets to temp...  I contacted Wismec last week but no response yet.... 

    THX for your interest.... will continue to play with this animal.... 9_9

  13. I've been testing some Wismec SS Notch coils using the DNA200 and 75.  They are pretty straight forward in Power mode and perform as expected.  In Temp mode... well that's another thing...

    Here is a bit about the Notch Coil:

    [clear1x1]
    Replacement NotchCoil - Pack of 5 for Wismec Theorem or Rebuildable Atomizer

    The Stainless Steel 316 NotchCoil is the latest technology from Wismec which may be used in both wattage and stainless steel temperature control mode. Ready to be installed in your favorite RBA/RTA!

    The NotchCoil is the same one found in the Theorem Atomizer, designed by JayBo Designs and inspired by "SMM"

    Features and Specs:

    • Ready to be installed in your favorite RBA/RTA
    • Stainless steel one-piece design
    • Provides great flavor and vapor similar to a Clapton wire build
    • Can be used in Wattage (Power) or Stainless Steel temperature control mode
    • Consistent evenly heated surface area
    • Perfect for low wattage builds
    • Includes organic cotton
    • Inner diameter 4.8mm
    • 0.23ohm
    • Non-resistance +/- Leads
    • Very fast ramp up time
    • Easily rewicked
    • Pack of 5 - Wismec NotchCoil with Cotton

    In Temp mode the coil performs as shown in this screen shot:

    notch.png 

    I'm wondering why the temp is not more smooth and the temp is fluctuating so much?  (SS316 material setting used) Could it be that a "notch coil" specific TCR is needed.  They heat very quickly and cool quickly thus that could account for the performance as shown in the graph.

    Thoughts or experience from others welcome.... :)

    LOL. They don't care about us, no point asking, just read the nonsense on the rest of this thread...

    Time to put windows and a resource hogging emulator on your mac if you want to tweak your very expensive mod. Also, don't bother asking about firmware updates either. It seems evolve has ended development on the DNA 200 too!



    hum.......  Evolv cares........  

    You should be able to easily find a Windows machine to tweak your DNA.... or you can do what many other mac users do....

    DNA 200 is fully developed and firmware updates are given when Evolv determines they are needed....

      
    My question to you:

    Why do you feel a firmware update is needed at this point and what issues should it resolve? I ask because all of my DNA200's and 75's are working just fine.
