[Therion 75C draining/heating batteries with nothing attached]

I never saw the firing indicator on the screen appear when my Therion 75c was heating/draining the batteries either with or without an atty or tank attached.

Evolv did not have me do any troubleshooting in response to the ticket I filed but just issued an RMA so I have no further information on what was causing the problem. I only mailed my Therion back to Evolv yesterday with the tracking showing a projected Saturday, 0/23 arrival date. I will post a follow up when Evolv lets me know what was amiss.

Thank you for your help. I filed a ticket per your suggestion.

[Therion 75C draining/heating batteries with nothing attached]

Thank you for the suggestions but it sounds like my Therion needs attention from someone who knows what they are doing which would not be me. Does Evolv offer Therion repair services?

[Therion 75C draining/heating batteries with nothing attached]

My Therion 75C is draining and heating up batteries with no atty or tank installed. It does this with batteries that work correctly in my other Therion 75C. This started overnight when the Therion drained the batteries down to 1.74 volts. I checked it today and it did the same draining/heating with two other battery  pairs both with and without an attached atty or tank.

Any ideas on what might be wrong or any possible fixes?

So, I am happy to say that I tried a different cable and it was successful. Thank you for the tips. I appreciate it. I should have thought about this since I work with tech all the time lol. 

I'm very happy to hear that all is working well for you now. It's so easy for the fact that there are two types of cables to disappear in the recesses of one's mind if one has not needed a mini to do data transfer for a very long time.

Everything installed and working properly except for one thing: none of my devices will connect to my Mac. Has anyone experienced this yet? If so is there a workaround for this?

I've never had any issues at all connecting my two Therion 75c's to my Macs. Are you sure that you are using a USB cable with data capability?

Some USB cables only have two wires which means they are wired for charge only and don't carry any data. A USB cable that carries data as well as having charging capability has four wires. The two types of cables can be difficult to tell apart unless you can get a good look inside the connectors.

Some people use the charge only cables to charge if they are on the go a lot and use USB charging outlets that they do not personally control. The charge only cables have no means to transfer malware.

If the DNA 75c is supposed to fire immediatealy after coming out of a long overnight sleep, my Therion DNA 75c does not do that. I have the default them installed which show the Evolv screen instead of firing. If I push the fire button the row of little round circles at the bottom of the screen light up red? one by one.

Pressing the fire button quickly in indeterminate amount of times brings up the normal screen and the Therion then fires returning to normal functioning. I assumed, mistakenly it seems, that there was some sort of unlocking sequence of button pressing I should use to wake the Therion up but couldn't figure out what that might be for a certainty although three or four quick presses seems to do it.

This behavior has been the same using SP22 and SP21.

This is a very small nitpick but after launching Escribe and before clicking on anything in the EScribe Suite window the Escribe menu is blank and there is no way to quit the program if it was accidentally launched.

So now you can easily use the native Mac escribe

 

Thank you.  I was able to successfully update my Therion 75c with v2 of the Mac EScribe software and it seems to be vaping well.

@peraspera, @Lowbytes: I've updated the link with a version that supports OS X El Capitan. Let me know how it works for you

Thank you for the EScribe update. 

The SetupEScribe2_SP4_b2_US downloaded, installed and ran without any issues on El Capitan with my new Therion 75c connected.

This appeared at the top of the screen:
"1.1 SP22 is available! Click here to apply it to your device."

A progress bar also appeared indicating it was downloading settings.

After clicking on the "Click here to apply it to your device" link a window with OK and Cancel options appeared reading,
"Apply Service Pack
A Service Pack is about to be applied.
Before clicking OK, please make sure that the device is idle."

At that point I removed the atty to make sure there would be no oopsie firing during the update.

After clicking the OK button a progress bar appeared reading:
"Please wait
Applying Service Pack"

After the progress bar disappeared\ a window appeared reading:
"Apply Service Pack
Service Pack applied."

I was previously on Revision 21 and am now on Revision 22 so I'm assuming the firmware update was successful. I'm also assuming that Escribe did the firmware update process as expected but this was my first time using the program so I don't know that for a certainty.

[Mac EScribe Suite Beta Thread]

James - Thanks ever so much for starting work on the Mac version of  EScribe.

My experience with EScribe has been similar to others. EScribe Launches on my Mac running El Capitan but no window appears for EScribe.

I have another Mac running Sierra that I use to record an eagle nest live stream during daylight hours so I will try Escribe on that Mac after dark.

This is the Console output when launching on El Capitan:

Do they have an About screen on this mod that shows what Service Pack it is running?

Thank you for the response. The About screen indicates my Therion DNA 75C is running Version 21.

Not afraid of running a vm at all - just disabled the Network interface in the VM 

But - surely it´s time for a nativ MAC version ! PLEASE!

 

According to security experts vulnerable systems can be successfully infected within seconds of a network making a public appearance. Even though the VM risk is quite small it is simply one more aggravation regarding installing a Windows VN I much prefer to avoid.

While I am hoping for a Mac Escribe version soon I very much appreciate that Evolv prioritized getting so many boards in under the FDA wire and getting out bug fixes.

[Does recently purchased Therion Dual DNA 75c need firmware update?]

Jason - I very much appreciate the reply but I plan to wait until the Mac version of Escribe is available. The aggravation and slight increased security risk isn't close to being worth it to me to run a Windows VM. I'm also highly disinclined to run any sort of beta firmware.

I have been vaping on DNA 40s at 25 watts. Would using the firmware that shipped with my Therion be similar in accuracy for Ni and Ti? Is it safe to use the mod with VCT4 or VCT5 batteries without a firmware update?

[Does recently purchased Therion Dual DNA 75c need firmware update?]

I just purchased a Therion Dual 18650 DNA 75C from VaporDNA. It was from a fairly recent shipment but when I phoned VaporDNA they weren't didn't know what firmware the units had.

Would it be safe to use and work properly with Ni and Ti coils?

I will wait until the Mac version of EScribe is available to update the firmware but it would be nice to be able use the Therion before that.
