  1. Windows PC are everywhere.... surely it's not that big of a challenge to use one, buy a cheap tablet, or use Windows inside of your Mac...  tried one of the competition's new devices last week and their software which, by the way, also works only with windows.... their device went quickly to a new home....and out of the box the new features weren't just limited, but the new device features were not even available until the firmware was updated.  Many of the new features require the software also.  

    IIRC Evolv said that Mac software wasn't out of the question in the future.   


  2. What would the advantage be to have a DNA200/200 watt mech mod combination?  So it uses the same battery and is in the same (LARGER) enclosure.  Maybe I'm missing the point? Isn't 200 watts in wattage mode on the DNA200 already available?

    At any rate you would need to isolate the fire button, input power, and output power to the 510 from the dormant device having no way to back feed current to the dormant one.  20/30 amp DPDT switches are not small components and what I'm thinkin' you would need two of them and the additional wiring.

    [QUOTE=retird][QUOTE=Nick]I just stood here with our developer and discussed this topic, we will see what we can figure out for the next version. Thanks for the feedback!



    So figuring this out for the next version, I assume, means not in the update that will be coming soon but the next one? Only asking to avoid confusion/ mis-understanding later.   THX Nick[/QUOTE]

    I'm using update/version interchangeably. It could be out in the next one, or three versions from now. I have no way of knowing until our developer sits down and sees how much work it will be. 

    I am hoping to try and get us on a "SCRUM" type development gameplan here shortly.[/QUOTE]

    THX...,. sounds like a plan....
  4. So, if it is programmed correctly?  How much additional programming would be necessary (software and firmware) and how much additional device memory needed? 

    A simple click closes DM... do what ya want in EScribe then another simple click and DM is opened again... 

    What is the advantage to having DM open and running while doing things in EScribe?

    [QUOTE=dc601]Since the Device Monitor is monitoring in live time it may be that changes can't be made to the device while Device Monitor is open??  At any rate this request has been asked for before so there may be a reason/reasons it is the way it is I'm guessing.....when in DM it has control of the device thus in the lower right hand corner there are thing you can do like fire the device, chg temp, set power, run diagnostics, and etc.



    You are completely missing the point. You can't do ANYTHING if the device monitor is running.
    EVERYTHING else is disabled. File, Edit, Internet, Options, Tools, Profiles, Help, Atomizer Analyzer, Copy Profile, create a new wire profile - ALL of them are useless if the device monitor is running.
    There are plenty of things we could do without 'changing' anything on the device that would require an upload or download to the DNA200 - except.....you can't.
    THAT, is what the 'problem' is.

    As I attempted to explain:  when in DM it has control of the device thus in the lower right hand corner there are thing you can do like fire the device, chg temp, set power, run diagnostics, and etc.

      One click closes it, do your stuff in EScribe and one click opens DM again.  FYI I asked the same thing during beta testing of the EScribe software (more than once).  I have lots of Windows software whereby you have a screen open to do a task and you cannot access anything else until you complete the screen or close it thus this is not an issue for me but YMMV.

    Maybe Evolv's software guru could comment if he has time...

    Have a great day yourself...  
  6. Since the Device Monitor is monitoring in live time it may be that changes can't be made to the device while Device Monitor is open??  At any rate this request has been asked for before so there may be a reason/reasons it is the way it is I'm guessing.....when in DM it has control of the device thus in the lower right hand corner there are thing you can do like fire the device, chg temp, set power, run diagnostics, and etc.

  7. I think more situations occur from the construction (building) of the device than from the chip.  Contact the vendor and/or submit a RMA request to Evolv. Either way it will be fixed I think...

  8. Yep, like VB, been vaping 2 devices since July and no overheating here.... but thinking about drilling some vent holes anyway so in the unlikely case the battery wants to vent pressure won't build up excessively in the closed enclosure. (air ventilation can already occur thru the switches and usb port also).

  9. Process I use:

    Set device in the room in the location of where you will be while running mod analyzer and leave overnight. Do not touch or use.  Have the usb cable attached to the device but not the computer.
    Set a digital thermometer next to the device and leave overnight also. Leaving overnight should allow the internal temperature of the device to be the same as the room temperature.

    Next day:

    Have EScribe up and running and then plug in the usb cable to the computer. No need to touch the device.

    Run the mod analyzer immediately and enter the room temperature as seen on the digital thermometer.  

    Analyzer will run until finished...  



  10. You might try forcing an update again and when it says connect a device just keep clicking ok 4 or 5 times while you wiggle the cable at the usb.  Be sure the USB cable is capable of data transfer and not just a charge cable. I have a usb cable for my cell phone that transfers data but not to my dna200.  Not all cables will work.

    If you can disconnect the battery you could try a forced update with the battery out of the circuit.  

    If you can't force an update then you might just RMA it to Evolv.


  11. Have you tried reloading the Efusion settings?

    From Lostvapes web site:  Download the official Evolv Escribe Lost Vape Efusion Settings Here. This file contains the complete results of the Battery Test, Mod Resistance Offset, and Case Analyzer settings. Also included are Titanium and 316 Stainless Steel Heating Element Profiles. Please ensure that EScribe is updated to the latest version prior to using this profile.



  12. Yep black lace the first tank w/ replaceable TC coils I tried way back in the day was a disaster, both the RTA deck and the replaceable coils.  Ohm's floating about like butterflies and was very frustrating.  Went thru the routine of checking everything from solder joints to grounding to 510 connections and etc. etc. etc..  A quality device married with a quality tank utilizing a quality RTA and quality replaceable coils is the key. The "learning curve" is a process and tho frustrating at times we all manage to get through it.

    As a general observation, tanks with replaceable coils will produce flucuating resistance readings.  In the "old days", before TC, flucuations of a few tenths of an ohm didn't mean a whole heck of a lot, but with the very low resistance that TC works at, any variations will be dramatically amplified.  I'd suggest a decent RTA rather than fooling with replaceable head tanks.  YMMV.



    In real life experience replaceable coils (both Ni and Kanthal) in my tanks are rock solid.  Have been since July on a 200 and before on the 40 and 25..  That is all I vape.  I like it simple and fiddle free and consistent.  More of one's preference than anything else for me and with a quality tank/coil it is a non-issue.  I prefer replaceable coils and some prefer RTA's and all is good.
  14. So the Efusion has the proper settings from the manufacturer (or you ran the analyzers and set it up yourself)?  Many things can cause what you are getting.  Process of elimination.  I've ran probably at least 40 temp and non-temp Aspire coils in a set of Atlantis tanks.  What is strangest of all is that you let the device rest for an hour and the ohm's goes to 0.34.  Cold ohm's at 0.20 or 0.22 going to 0.34 when the coil is cold also at 0.34.  

    Would be curious what ohm reading you will get by taking off the tank and coil and screwing the base only into the device.  Measure the ohm's with your ohm meter while not firing the device. You will need to put downward pressure on the center pin of the atty base with the ohm meter lead so you get a good connection at the center pin since the coil is not screwed into the base. You can then use the atty analyzer while putting pressure on the center pin while looking at the Device monitor but you will need to put pressure before connecting the device to Escribe and running the analyzer.

    The resistance swing of the coil while I vape it varies 0.12 ohms. My vaping resistance goes from 0.15 to 0.27 while vaping and reaching temp limit. My profile setting is pre-heat = 100, punch =5, temp setting 400F, wattage setting= 24.1 and e-liquid is 70/30 VG/PG.

    My thoughts on possibilities:

    1. Efusion mod settings not correct.
    2. Poor grounding in the device.
    3. Cold solder joints (maybe at the 510).
    4. Poor connection between the 510 and tank 510 connection.
    5. Poor or improper fit of the coil head into the atty base. (Aspire coil fit issue with a non-Aspire tank).
    6. Defective batch of Aspire coils. (least possibility according to my experience).

    Best guesses at this point.
