  3. Problem with ecig-file

    [QUOTE=Stevelee]Can I have the file also ? I am using vt200 also Million thanks Email : stevelee8217918@gmail.com



    I spoke to Ari, the author of the file about sharing it, and he felt it was better you get it directly from the source so he can provide support and updates for future escribe versions. I will respect his wishes and not share it here. You are welcome to join the Facebook group "Dna200 modders", there you will easily find the posts from Ari containing the settings file and support for it.[/QUOTE]

    Why not contact Hcigar and get their file after all they made the device.  Ari's file was modified by Ari thus different than Hcigar's file.  Go to the source, or at least that is my take on it.  Good luck.

  6. Temp difference

    ok. 

    So I have been doing some additional testing as the vendor I purchased this from is not answering me.

    With ultra-low ohm, Nickel coils (premade from Aspire directly and advertised as 0.15) the vape is not as consistent as with my DNA 40 device.  Actually, running the same settings on the VT200 results in very little vapor production. (40 watts @ 470 degrees).  To get similar results on the VT200, I have to run 530 degrees and 30 watts.  As the atomizer heats up (I chain vape) the vapor production gets less and less on the VT200.

    I got an .ecig file from someone on here, with a VT200, that included settings for 316L.  Using the 316L in TC mode, I get constant vape production even when chain vaping.  Those settings are 450 degrees @ 50 Watts.  Even when the atty heats up the vape production is constant!   I actually had to drop the temp to 420 degrees as I do not like it that warm. This is on 0.3 ohm coils directly from Aspire.

    So it appears my mod has an issue with the ultra-low ohm coils..

    I have the Mod Resistance set to 0 for both tests as I do not have the means to test the Mod resistance.  Inputting settings from other VT200's (Mod resistance at 0.0045 or 0.01) resulted in much poorer performance from the NI200 coils.

    Maybe one of the DNA peeps can chime in here and help out.



    I run the 0.15 ohm nickel Aspire coils at 24 watts, 400F, 100 watts preheat and all is well. 

    Can you post a screen shot of Device Monitor showing Pack, Power, Power Set, Temperature, and Temperature Set showing 4 or 5 consecutive vapes so we can see what it is doing.

    Snap[ of what I get:

  7. case analyzer: run with or without atty?

    Hello I am working on having a test plug made now. I did a quick test last night on one of my mods and found the mod had .08ohms of internal resistance, then went to the Mod tab and put the resistance in Escribe and it made a big difference. Hoping the plugs will be made very soon. We feel every mod should be tested and the internal resistance set.



    That will be a great tool.

    I use a 510 to 510 sealed adapter (had a few laying around) that I dropped a ball of solder into it and torched it to create a dead short.  Adapter reads 0.000 ohms. shell to center pin.  Attached to my 2 identical devices  and ran Atty Analyzer and got 0.005 ohms on each device. Set to 0.004 (80%).

    [QUOTE=dc601][QUOTE=bingbling]Is there any way to debug why I can't load the ecig settings file? Perhaps a way to log whats happening in the background to see why and what makes it fail? It seems I am the only one who can't open the file. Its really weird.



    Have you tried from a different computer?

    Send the file to me in a message and I will try it, if you want to let me have a go at it?


    [/QUOTE]

    No I have not tried it in a different computer yet. I only have access to one PC and one Macbook at home. And its too much of a hazzle to get escribe running on a Mac. I will however try the file at my work computer monday morning.

    I can send the file to you if you want, even tough I know for certain there is nothing wrong with the file. James the admin here has confirmed it working, and so has countless other people from the closed facebook group I got it from.

    The file throwing "Unsupported file format" error for me simply makes ZERO sense. We all have the exact same version of escribe and the exakt same version of the ecig file. I can't for my life figure out what is wrong. And even if I were daft beyond belief there simply is not much that could possibly go wrong opening the file ;)

    I alos tried uninstalling and reinstalling escribe, same problem. I ran it as admin and normal user, no difference. I am on a Windows 8.1 Pro x64 machine, eng version with swedish keyboard layout if that could possibly be a factor.

    I saved my own custom escribe settings file earlier, just to try it out. And that one loads just fine, not that it does me any good though lol ;)[/QUOTE]

    The *.ecig file you messaged to me loads just fine into EScribe here on a Win-10 laptop. I didn't upload to device but just opened EScribe with no device plugged in and it loaded all settings into EScribe.

  10. Windows TABLETS that support ESCRIBE and the DNA 200?

    I looked at the HP Stream, but I don't think it has a regular sized USB port...at least from what I could see. I did look at the WinBook, and it did have the USB Port. I just didn't know if it would support the Escribre software. So, I might have to look at that one, again.



    Yep, it has a micro USB port.  Here is a post from this forum:

    https://forum.evolvapor.com/topic/66331-topic/?do=findComment&comment=896356

    This video shows how to use it with USB devices. Only requires an OTG cable, which are cheap.     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoPNzx8bcVQ

    OTG cable:  http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-5in-Micro-Host-Adapter/dp/B00B4GGW5Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446312393&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+to+micro+usb+cable+otg




    At any rate there are many tablets to choose from.  You can also search this forum for "Tablet" and see many post about tablets.  Hope this helps.


  17. Battery Safety

    in Batteries and Charging

    Posted

    I think Evolv places importance on battery safety in the design of their products.  

    Having used Li-Po batteries for many years with the Darwin, DNA 20,25,30, and 40 I feel the need to pass on a bit of information.

    Over the years I have only had 2 batteries cause me some concern.  Li-Po batteries can start swelling when they start to fail.  I noticed this with 2 batteries that were reaching the end of their duty cycle. Monitoring and checking the batteries should be routine and a part of one's vaping experience. Simply replacing the battery can prevent much greater and less desirable events from occurring.  

    I only post this as a Public Service Announcement and hope that battery safety and monitoring is given the respect it is due by us consumers.

    I post this link to give an example (not to promote fear) as it may give us pause to think a bit deeper about battery safety.


    http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/breaking-news/os-ap-e-cigarette-explodes-20151028-story.html

    To the device makers:

    I ask that you consider designing a safety feature into your devices that can monitor the battery for swelling and alert the user before more destructive events can occur, and/or make the devices more readily available for battery replacement when a fault (swelling) is seen or battery replacement is desired by the end user.

    God Bless and be safe.

  21. Temperature Proteted WARNING message confusion?

    in EScribe, Software and Firmware

    Those are the default setting of the Evolv board as sent to the device makers.  The enclosures are different depending on the design and material etc. and the Mod analyzer is used to properly tune the settings for the board to the device so the most accurate temp can be delivered.  At least that is what I understand.  

    I'm thinking this may play a part in what you are seeing.  James can correct me if I'm off base and miss-informed.

  24. Temperature Proteted WARNING message confusion?

    in EScribe, Software and Firmware

    hum,  just took my nickel 0.15 ohm, 400F, 25 watt, 100 watt preheat build down to 10 watts and it took about 10 seconds to hit temp protect (very little vapor also) where it gets there quickly at 25 watts with loads of vapor.

    Thinking out loud:  Might run Mod Analyzer and check the Thermal settings shown in EScribe.  If the board was not configured by Lavabox (sent out with default settings) then the temps may be off.  Just a guess.
