here's a screen of my vt133 firing @ 65 watts. cells is are about 4.1 volts unloaded, 3.69 volts loaded. They are Samsung 25r's

It looks to me as you are hitting the soft cell cut off, either battery, battery connection or both aren't cutting it. Sag under load looks excessive.

In eScribe under the option tab change the user interface to something other than "clean"

I just don't have good knowledge of what maximum wattage would be on the 2 cell powered version with your build. But just going off the fact that 167 is 2/3rd of 250 then 2/3rd's of 175 watts is around 115, I'm just not sure if this is how it would work out or not.

Well then my earlier posts were made thinking it was a 3S lipo pack. Connection from batteries to battery contacts need to be considered as a possible problem perhaps, I'm not familiar with what they used there.

I see no reason that you shouldn't be able to achieve your settings providing the board is receiving correct power battery wise. What battery/type powers your mod. If I have this figured right (looking at the data sheet/output power) you should be able to hit around 175 watts with that build.

Are you using it in temperature control mode or wattage/power mode?

Look closely at #3 and #6

I bought some 430 from CW, works just fine for me. I made some Claptons with it, 2 strands of 25 gauge CW 430 wrapped with 34 gauge Kanthal dual coil build in a Velosity

Just because Steamengine doesn't list it doesn't mean it's not SS430. Pretty much just my opinion though.

0.00138 is not going to work with CW 430, try around 0.0019 - 0.002

Same thing more or less, more info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_polymer_battery

My SMY SDNA75 lives an even a tougher life than Chunky's although in a different way, I gave mine to my wife and it still works. She takes chain vaping to a whole other level. On the serious side I noticed no difference between 75/200 as I only vape at 45/35 watts.

There are connections on the 200/250 board for connecting LED's. They are not configurable through EScribe. One option would be remove/snip them.

In the lower right hand corner of Device Monitor in EScribe there is the "Diagnostics" tab, there you will find "Reset USB current limit".

That's it, it's done once you hit OK, it's real fast.

Explain "off", do you mean it switches from TC to power mode?

From left to right 3,2,1, ground

I used this one in my Vapecige VTbox200, it appears to be the same case. The power wires needed to be shortened and I had to change the plug to a "T" plug. Later Vapecige boxes use a XT-60 plug. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-1300mah-3s-25-50c-lipo-pack.html

The screens most likely are made by two different manufacturers. Evolv doesn't make them. The brightness can be adjusted in EScribe.

Just change the watt hours to reflect the number of cells.

3 pin, how about a 4 pin?

From Kesters web site: (copied and pasted) 951 Soldering FluxKester 951 is a zero-halogen, non-rosin flux designed for wave soldering, conventional and surface mount circuit board assemblies. The extremely low solids content (2.0%) and nature of the activator system results in practically no residue left on the assembly after soldering. Boards are dry and cosmetically clean as they exit the wave solder machine. There are no residues to interfere with electrical testing. 951 exhibits improved soldering performance to minimize solder bridges (shorts) and excessive solder defects. This flux is suitable for automotive, computer, telecommunications and other applications where reliability considerations are critical. The surface insulation resistance on soldered boards is higher than that provided by typical water-soluble fluxes. 951 contains a corrosion inhibitor such that no corrosion products are formed when bare copper surfaces are exposed to humid environments. (it looks like water)

For the DNA250 the default (and maximum) is 28 amps for both battery input settings.

Thanks
