    Wayneo, When I saw the thread  update emails this morning. I thought that Retird had let the cat out of the bag. But he says that he was not that moderator. I don' know about you, but I think he might be hiding his identity....................:yum:

    You read it so now deleted to maybe not get banned from ECF....

    Who knew there was a 'Retired' and a 'retird' moderator over there. Man, years ago I got sent my first and only ever warning and my post removed by 'retired'. I even asked you once @retird if that was you. There was a tank giveaway that many of us won. Sent by courier, so I had to pay ~$30 for duties, customs and delivery fees. Half the winners were whiners complaining. So I piped in and told them all the should know the laws of their own country and quit the whining. So retired hid my post and wrote stern words to me via PM. I belly laughed for hours, both at the users and his behaviours:joy::joy::joy::joy:

    I still have that tank, pristine in its shrink-wrap if anyone wants a pic. (I was rebuilding those tiny Aspire BVC coils with SS) and didn't want to do other factory coils. 

    "retired" was not me......

    Thanks for that. I started my Evolv adventure with the Darwin. After thinning out the herd I still have at least one still perfectly functioning mod with every board that Evolv produced. Except the Darwin. I gave that mod to my best friends wife. It helped her quit smoking. But I wish I had that stupid looking mod back!!! You know I really miss seeing Basil, Mike P, Jaquinth, Retird and others. I even miss Dr G because when he wasn't beating back the perceived trolls he had great posts Great times, days and people!

     

    Memories........ 😀      Yep I too started with the Darwin too and have a " herd" of one of each board....  still use the Darwin from time-to-time... 

    As you said... "I really miss seeing Basil, Mike P, Jaquinth, Retird (that's me)and others. I even miss Dr G because when he wasn't beating back the perceived trolls he had great posts Great times, days and people!" 

    Those were good times at ECF before Dr G got booted and some of us got grilled and investigated twice by ECF for false claims...... put a bad taste in our mouths' and I left ECF.

  4. Try this and see what goes:

    Make sure all connections are tight in the atty and no coil wrap is touching the one next to it (called a spaced coil).  With the atty off the device fire the device several times.  

    Now let the atty and the device set until both are at room temperature.

    Screw on the atty, fire the device and select "new coil".   This sets the cold ohms as can be seen in Device Monitor.  The Live ohms will be higher as you vape as the ohms elevate due to heating the coil.

    You should not get an immediate "temp protect" message and the message will show when the set temp is reached.  Temp Protect is not an error message but lets you know the temp has been reached.  An immediate "temp protect" can mean a hot spot in the coil or coil wires touching each other among other things.

  5. My best guess is that it is either a bad circuit board or excessive heat while soldering battery wires (negative connection) to the board may have damaged it.  From your picture it looks like the area around the negative solder point is discolored like it got very hot.  

    At any rate just start a ticket with Evolv and explain it to them and provide the pictures... they will guide you...

    i am using a alien ss 316l coil . i have read that the dna would work better with just single strand wire on tc. i dont know if this is an issue ?

    I assume the 75C is your first DNA device...

    DNA's work best using spaced coils (coils do not touch each other).   Connectivity of coil to the atty should be tight and a good connection between the atty and the device when using TC.  Many things can cause the TC to drop out to power mode.  

    You might want to build a single wire coil (spaced coil) with the SS316L material and strive for consistent TC.  Then play with the aliens again... 

  7. Read thru this thread and wonder if you have tried this basic exercise.......

    Have you made a single wire spaced coil (not alien) and tried that.  Use wire Material such as Kanthal, SS316L, etc. Check the ohms reading with an ohm's reader before using (reading would be the cold ohms). Device is at room temp and atty at room temp before firing as a new coil?  Fire device and select "New Coil"

    What reading do you get for Cold Ohms?

    What reading do you get for Live Ohms?

  8. OK... 

    I am concerned about 3 things.

    1.  The board temperature is too low showing only 42.71 F.  

    2. You have had the device for 1 week and vaped 7000 puffs.  How many puffs did it have out of the box new?

    3. The wattage shown while firing is too low and not as smooth as it should be.  Many things can cause this.  Here is a screenshot of my DNA Go device set at 9 watts...

    You have started a ticket with Evolv.  It is the weekend so they may get back to you in a few days when the work week starts..  They warranty the board, not the device.  

    If they decide to look at the board they will guide you on what to do.  You might send another ticket to Evolv and include the last screenshot you posted. I shows the 3 things I listed.

    Since your device is 1 week old I would try again to get the seller to replace it.  That would be the easiest especially if the board is good but the device assembly is faulty.

    That's the best I can troubleshoot without having the device as you say both atty's you tried are functioning properly.

     

    Good Luck and just for your info we are not employees of Evolv but just help if we can.
