Ship'er back to Vapor Shark.

Guess is something to do with Nichrome coil or TRC for it.

How about some pictures of the inside of your build?

Yep, Case analyzer. Sorry for the confusion.

Run Mod Analyzer and compare the results with those currently set. You may find that the current settings are just the Evolv default settings and not the setting that the device maker should have provided for their device. I think Hcigar configured the battery but not the mod.

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.

Many who have that tank with that coil have expressed the same issue as you. Tank/coil design causing variable connectivity/performance/ohm readings.

Read that their reverse battery protection feature is done by the design of the battery sled. Put the battery in wrong and the battery won't make a proper connection.

I like being able to adjust wattage easily in temp mode. If this idea of adjusting temp with +/- is added please make it an option and not an only default.

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.

Under Mod tab. Just saw your update that Lavabox does not set up their device properly. Definitely should have been.

Curious what the Thermal settings are showing in EScribe? I have no Lavabox.

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.

Just asking for a bit of info about your build etc. Sometimes hot-spots in the coil can cause quick temp protect message.

Have you another atty that you can try? Are your coils spaced coils where the wraps are not touching each other? Have you ran Atomizer Analyzer and it shows a solid build? Some Subtanks can be kinda finicky in RBA mode.

Question for James or John: Background: Reference device #2 had case analyzer default settings as follows: Cooling: 150s Heating: 150s USB: 10 F and 12 F/A Min temp: -20F Max temp: 120F Ran Case Analyzer: (room temperature device, battery 1/2 charge) Case Analyzer results: Cooling : 1005.53s Heating : 1122.45s USB : 5.5F and 21.78 F/A Min temp: -20F Max temp: 120F I ok'd the analyzer settings and they were copied to EScribe. The Cooling and Heating seconds were rounded off to 1000s each and manually trying to enter the values resulted in rounding off to 1000 again. Using latest EScribe and firmware posted in this forum. Question: Are the results from the Analyzer (rounded off) more valid/better than the old default settings for accurate temp control? THX Edit: Ran Analyzer on Reference mod #1: Case Analyzer results: Cooling : 1017.16s Heating : 1210.63s USB : 8.04F and 20.32 F/A Min temp: -20F Max temp: 120F Escribe took these settings and rounding them off as in Mod #2. ( cooling and heating rounded off to 1000s each)

How about adding "true" case analyzer data to your collection also for all the devices out in the wild?

Run Case Analyzer and see what the results are compared to the current settings.

Try this: Go to Device Monitor and set it to show Live ohms and cold ohm's (and watts and voltage if you want). With the device( locked ohm's ) in temp mode you can vape and see what happens. Then do the same in non-temp mode and you will see the difference. Watch the difference in the rate and speed of the ohm's rise, and the voltage and wattage readings, etc. Hopefully you can get you answer by seeing it in live mode of Device Monitor. From the datasheet: added the underline myself Resistance lock: The DNA 200 relies on the cold resistance of the atomizer to measure temperature accurately. If the connection is not stable or if you find the measured resistance drifts with time, it may be desirable to lock the atomizer resistance. To do so, while locked hold both the Fire and Up buttons for two seconds to enter Resistance Lock mode. In this mode, the DNA 200 will use the present atomizer cold resistance without refinement until the atomizer is disconnected or the resistance lock is disabled. A lock symbol will replace the ohm symbol on the display. To disable resistance lock, repeat the procedure to lock it. **From my understanding Resistance lock is a option to the refinement process in Temperature Mode.

Try running EScribe and click on TOOLS/Update Firmware. Open the folder in the popup screen and pick the firmware

I too have the age related reality of old eyes and also have big hands. http://www.amazon.com/SE-MC329B-F2X-Illuminated-Magnifier-Table/dp/B00OC1OI3I/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1445203653&sr=8-5&keywords=illuminated+magnifier+lamp

Basic question. Are you uploading your changes to the device after you make them in EScribe?

Reference mod sat overnight to reach room temp. Started EScribe, plugged in reference mod (holding mod by the tank so as not to raise the device enclosure temp). Immediately clicked Device Monitor and read room temp. Digital Room Thermometer setting next to reference mod read 69.70 F and Device Monitor showed room temp. at 69.52 F.

Glued bolts may not be sufficient for either mounting nor grounding.
