May be you misunderstood me, it is exactly what i'm saying : the whole static resistance must be known to precisely estimate the temperature variation.

I have argued  on the fact that  the 510  connector resistance  (that measured by means of the copper tool) is only a fraction of the whole static resistance. Which is the utility to know only the 510 resistance?

This threads a good read for those unfamiliar with it. The subject that your talking about seems to begin around here:

That version of EScribe is for both the 200 & 75.

Most interesting, I'm now running it. (on a 200)

[SS 430 Probably will putting all my other wire in the "box"]

Not to long ago a friend sent me a sample of 28 gauge SS 430. It has a decent resistance change when heated compared to 316/317. Easy to wrap  also.
Here's a live view of my Serpent firing a coil made of 4 strands of SS 430, I'm still experimenting with it but I think this is the wire I'll be using from now on.
 

[Screen issues]

Well if you get energetic enough maybe switch screens between the two mods.

[Screen issues]

Does the mod fire OK when with USB cable connected?

[Screen Lights up on it's own :(]

You might try comparing/changing some of the screen settings, just grabbing at straws here though.
I'm a light sleeper myself, comes from working night shift for 20 years.

[What dna200 to get?]

If using a non temp wire like Kanthal it will automatically go into power mode. If you want to use a temp wire in power mode there are a couple of choices, turn temp off on desired profile in EScribe and upload to device or scroll through the temp settings on the device till you get to "OFF" and select with fire button.

[What dna200 to get?]

Unless you hit the "restore defaults" button the factory settings should have stayed as is. The battery appears to be the same as the Hotcig DX200
(Fullymax 900) so you can probably use the settings for that. It's 10 Wh.

[NotchCoil TC with SS316 profile not really working]

I am using the latest beta EScribe and firmware, *** 2016-02-29 EScribe 1.0.42 **, it will let me enter .00092. But I have no 316 wire so I can't try it out. It appears to me that the 316 in EScribe is already using that value.
I must admit that I'm some what confused as I come up with .00088 when using Steamengine.
Everything seems to indicate that .00092 is the correct value, I'm not sure how I came up with .00088....LOL

[recognized in escribe shows power to screen but nothing else]

I "nic'd" this picture from one of VapingBad's posts, check to see if those two big square inductors are still firmly attached. It's easy enough to check 'em.

[Random gold spring wismec dna 200]

I'm not too sure then. There are 3 spring loaded negative contacts, each with a spring. The only other spring used I believe is inside the 510.
Perhaps one of the magnets "acquired" it by accident.

[Random gold spring wismec dna 200]

The spring is part of the battery sled, inside of one of the negative battery contacts.

[VT133 issue]

While I think an RMA is the best way to go I was still hoping to see the voltage readings taken off the pads where the balance connector connects to the DNA200 board. Just curious if it's a problem with the DNA board or the daughter board. 

[DNA200 Refusing to connect.]

No, he/she is using a RX200 and trying to get Escribe to connect to it.

I'm pretty sure we will see some more (RX 200's) posts in the future with the same problem.

[VT133 issue]

 

[Any news on the DNA75?]

I'm not sure of coarse but I believe the 75 has most but not all of the features of the 200, so less. It does however have the ability to make the fire button light up various selected colors when firing, as long as that can be turned off I'm good with it.

[How to shut off boxer Dna 133 power]

Lock and sleep is all there is. You could pull the batteries out.

[Nifethal 70?]

I do mainly contact coils, and dry burn it. Perhaps I shouldn't but I do.
I used it all night at work, doing well.

[Nifethal 70?]

So I went ahead and made a couple of Zivipf Nife 30 coils, keep in mind that they are 70% nickel so that yields a fairly low resistance.
Also the TCR is high so  temp accuracy is easy for the board.
My coils are 8.5 wraps, 2 mm id, 26 gauge wire, x2, that come out to 0.6? which is a bit lower than I prefer but still doable.
I really see no real advantage using it over Nife48/52 but it is working well.

[hard reset ?]

Just some things to take into consideration. Because of it's low TCR any added resistance getting involved due to incorrect mod resistance setting, wonky 510 connection, wire at post, ect will give you all kinds of potential grief.

[Battery meter showing 0% but it is fully charged in escribe]

Assuming nothing has been changed as far as your battery settings I would try a hard reboot.  

[Nifethal 70?]

Well Zivipf has Nife 30 which is 70% nickel. The listed TCR is 520. Note Zivipf calls their Nife52 48.
Here is Kanthal's data sheet for Nife70, note the composition. 
Steamengine lists Nifethal70 (alloy 120) TCR @525
I assume that Zivipf's Nife30 is Nifethal 120, I have it, perhaps I'll give it a try tonight and report back.
I'm a big fan of Dicodes nife 30 btw which is 30% nickel (I think)
Interesting that you posted about it as it was already on my mind.

[LiPo Charging Issue Found!]

My laptop has 3 USB 2.0's and with a charge only cable one port charges at 500 mah another at 750 and the other at 1 amp.
It has no USB 3.0 but the one that charges at 1 amp is a combination eSATA/USB port.
