You don't need a 150A output. You need an output above 9-12V and a max of 23A as said in the DNA200 Specs. Input Current -> http://www.evolvapor.com/datasheet/dna200.pdf Also you don't want to use a linear psu, it will be big and chunky. More realistically, you need a PSU with about 20A. This will yield a total of 240W - which is enough to drive 200W of output current. More (like the 23A in the datasheet) will only be needed if the voltage drops. If your battery shuts down at 3.2V, at 23A it will deliver 220W at it's minimum to provide the 200W of output. Digikey - AC DC Converters Digikey - AC DC Wall Adapters Or find a cheaper one on something like ebay or amazon. 12V and above 200W. Of course this only applies when using a single DNA200 attached to the supply.[/QUOTE] I believe he was asking for multiple boards, since mine was running 5 at once, hence my 125A PSU.

Where are they in stock at? Would like to grab a few. Also, here is the ammo can power supply. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Cosel/PBA1500F-12/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsPs3th5F8koMdmNRcX8UdIkKh46IJzk6xYI%2ff6%2fXG47A%3d%3d

No battery, 125 amp AC > DC 12v Power Supply.[/QUOTE] I would like to build a set up like that Nick, ( I am about to go into production of a juice line.) How are the boards wired? Is it simply the 12v DC output from the power supply wired directly to the B+ & B- on the board? And the balance taps left unconnected? Or is there something more to it?[/QUOTE] This all there is to it. Simply wire your power source to the B +/- pads. Be sure to go into escribe and set your boards to use a Power Supply instead of a battery. Balance taps remain unwired. Don't forget to use an appropriate gauge wire for the length of lead you plan to have!

I'll chime in second in the interest of transparency. Out of all the packages delivered yesterday we saw and serviced exactly one VT200. If there are any issues we are just as interested as finding them as our customers are, and working with manufacturers to resolve them. This probably comes as a surprise to many people, but we actively buy devices made with our boards, use, test, and take them apart when we hear about issues. One of the other things we did yesterday was go online and buy a handful of mods, just like anyone else would.

I've tried all those things about 10 times already...and, no escribe doesn't recognize it at all. That's actually how I realized it went dead, because it was working fine and then all of a sudden a bubble came up on my screen saying USB device was disconnected. I think it's the chip, but who knows.[/QUOTE] Go ahead and put in a ticket with us at: http://helpdesk.evolvapor.com/index.php?a=add We will do everything we can to assist![/QUOTE] Thanks Nick, I really appreciate it! I received a reply from Hotcig this morning, and so I will venture down that route to remedy this situation. However, it might take another 2 months to get a new mod from them, I feel that it's their responsibility, plus as much as I want to dismantle the mod and figure it out myself, I worry that it will void the warranty, should anything else go wrong. [/QUOTE] You are welcome, and thank you! If you have any issues going forward working with Hotcige please do not hesitate to contact me.

Try using the Titanium 1 TCR curve from the old deprecated Steam Engine Calc, not the new wire wizard. It's working the best for the TFV4 Ti coils out of everything else I have tried.

Also, Scoopy, I personally like to charge my devices with my lipo charger when I want them charged asap. How you choose to design them for your personal use I will leave up to you. For one of my personal mods I simply put the female plugs in the bottom of the box.

Unfortunately there is no way to add this to the current DNA200. Simply "adding" it isn't simple. The circuitry and components required to do so will not even fit on the current DNA200 PCB design. We are often hesitant to answer questions like this, making it seems like it is some big secret. The real reason is we know if we answer it the next question is going to be if people can buy them, and we hate telling people no. We simply cannot sell DNA200 boards with this technology so far into the release. Personally? This is something I myself want, and will keep that in mind for future products if at all possible.

There is no big secret here or anything we are trying to keep under wraps. VaporShark's version of the DNA200 has a number of differences, but the one noticed the most and mentioned is the 2amp charging. They also have a slightly longer PCB, and different onboard buttons, for example. The long and short of it is VaporShark was willing to commit to a certain (large) quantity of boards, and we were willing to provide custom features.

That is a great picture, would you mind doing the same for the other side of the board?

Also, I cannot really tell how many wires are coming off of the 4 pin balance tap. Do you have all 4 wires for 3 2 1 GND ran, or did you bridge 3 to B+ and GND to B-? This is something we are seeing people do a lot, and it should not be done due to voltage/sag drop on the B +/- wires under load when firing.

Hi David, you should be fine earthing to the case as long as nothing can short to the case. From the new angle you just posted I see that what I had previously though was some kind of pad or platform milled into the box to support the board is actually the USB port. That all looks good.

Yeah, I think it should be okay. I actually had no idea the fast chargers were 9v. They must "Detect" fast charging capable devices and switch on to 9v, otherwise I would have destroyed just about everything I own so far. LOL

Welcome!

No battery, 125 amp AC > DC 12v Power Supply.

Thank you, and everyone else for the kind words! Yes, everyone loves the ammo can, and I do too. I especially love how it turned out to have just enough room to cram all 5 wired mods and an extension cable inside too so while it is really heavy, it is easy to just pick it up and carry it. It is a big hit at all the local shops when I go on the weekends. Its turned out great for conventions as well. At a recent one we let people use it at a booth for three days straight all day long and it worked like a champ without a single issue. I was extremely happy since that was the first stress test it had.

Thank you guys! George is now the acting DogMods CEO and things seem to be running smoothly.

Very recently, still getting settled in but grateful for the opportunity as I am local to them.

This sounds like the behavior seen when a cell is too low to power the board on fully, or the board cannot see the voltage of the cells due to wiring, etc. At the 4 pin balance pinouts, did you bridge/short pins 2 and 3, and run pin 1 and GND?

Looks like it....weird. I had heard his name was Nick as well.

Hi Nick, It seems that you are working for Evolve. My Vendor have informed me to bring it back to him. Looks like he will have to send back it to manufacturer for failure verification. Can we request for a 1 to 1 exchange.?[/QUOTE] If your vendor is already willing to work with you I would recommend continuing to do so. I am not sure exactly what you are asking unfortunately. We simply manufacture the DNA200 board and would not be able to do a 1 to 1 exchange for the entire Device/Mod. Although I could be misunderstanding, hopefully your vendor will exchange the entire device for you.

Well my mistake then, the version I am using does not have it. >.>

Currently this is not possible. If we were to add control over that variable it would likely be only to increase it, due to safety concerns.

BAM! Glad it is working now!
