Might be an interesting read here:

If I were to guess I'd say the 510 ground connection is poor, for what ever reason. Since it's new are you able to return it. If not open a ticket with Evolv and they will most likely take care of it for you. https://helpdesk.evolvapor.com/index.php?a=add&category=1

If your not using this version of EScribe give it a try, this should do it. https://downloads.evolvapor.com/SetupEScribe2_SP19_INT.pkg Welcome to the forum

I figure that I should set this straight, the readings from my volt meter were wonky, I measured again with my other meter and the readings between what EScribe was reporting and the meter were the same.

This is probably the best way to start: https://helpdesk.evolvapor.com/index.php?a=add&category=5

EScribe shows the two cells around 4.135 volts when charging stops. It is set foe maximum puffs. If I check the cells with a volt meter they read 4.2 volts. Does anyone else have this problem?

Well for sure I now see that I should get some new glasses since finally acquiring a couple of color screen DNA mods.

A few days back my "lost in the mail" Vapecige 250C squonk finally made it to me, here it is firing at 90 watts with two Samsung 20S cells. Starting cell voltage was 4.10 volts and dropped to 3.86 volts.

Have you tried using a different browser ?

In EScribe under the help tab you can find your version of EScribe, what version are you using and what DNA board/mod do you have? Also you might try a different cable and/or verify that the cable is data capable by connecting another device, a phone perhaps.

I suggest you start your re-measuring right on the ends of the cells, might save some work.

This may not be the newest but still a good guide.

A Sony VTC5 is a 20 amp battery, I don't think they are dropping more than expected. A Sony VTC5A is a 25 amp battery, which ones do you have? For reference: https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/blog-entry/list-of-battery-tests.7436/?fbclid=IwAR03xOHo2XMXTPVg2gHj18dMMPc3AvGJmAOPqvepNid1oS59r2KG7cvBosk

It appears that your cells are in parallel so the board sees them as one.

A screen shot like this would be most helpful to diagnose your problem.

Be sure to use a version found here: https://www.evolvapor.com/products/dnago Make sure your cable is capable of data transfer, some were shipped with charge only cables. I believe red light flashing means battery charge is depleted.

Here is firing at 90 watts with two new Samsung 20S cells, much better.

The 20S cells that I have are for a couple 250C 2 cell squonkers that I have coming.

So I brought out my Hcigar Vt133 with it's 2 25r's @4.1 volts each. Fired at 90 watts, here is the result: I have put a couple of brand new Samsung 20S' in the charger, will check again with those tomorrow when charged. It looks to me that the cell are at fault, at least with mine, will know better tomorrow.

Do you have a volt meter? Measure the voltage on the ends of the cells when firing, then measure from the sled contacts and compare. Measure at B+ and B- if necessary. This will also tell whether the cells are at fault. (if you get that big drop when measuring at the cells)

Use the search feature of this forum, there are quite a few posts similar to your problem a while back on the Boxer mod, they use the same style sled contacts.
