in EScribe, under the screen settings tab, there's a slider for charging screen brightness.

welcome to the forum coldmantis. here's the ecig file for triade 250 dna_250.ecig (3.56 KB, 70 views)

welcome to the forum ez.valdez. yes, set the max knathal limit to 167 when using the DNA 250 in 2 cell operation.

i misread your post, sorry. no bridging the cell taps on the DNA board for 3 cell operation. what you stated in your first paragraph will work. wire it the same way as the traide was wired. you don't need 0 ohm resistors. you can use tiny pieces of copper wire, same purpose. sorry for the cofusion.

those two 0 ohm resistors reduce the amount of wires for the balance tap needed. with the 2 0 ohm resistors, you would only need 2 tap wires going to the battery (cell 1 and 2) for 3 battery. in your case you could add the 0 ohm resistors or jumpers, just like the other board, and you would also need to bridge cell 2 and 3 on the board - to make it a 2S capable board. you would have 1 tap wire going between the two batteries. edit... i read your post wrong. you want to go from 2 cell to 3 cell. you would wire the same as the triade board.

a connection issue doesn't necessarily mean it's in the mod, it can easily be an RDA/RTA etc. that can be....picky on what it will work.

the lightening bolt appears when the USB current passes 0.09 amps. be sure to post those screenshots when you can. mAKE sure all the battery option boxes are ticked as well as board temp before taking the screenshots.

super high temp readings on the display are usually do to poor/loose connections somewhere between 510 and your build. 510 center pin, 510 threads, atty pin, threads, post screws, etc.

you edited your post... if your USB voltage is 4.27v or below the DNA will limit the charging current. sounds like a junk USB cable and/or wall wart. i would try a different USB cable and or charger first (preferably a known good one, one that can pass at least 1 amp. make sure the wall wart can provide 1 amp as well). you'd be surprised how many USB cables can't even pass 1 amp. still post a screenshot of DM when you can, of both mods.

welcome to the forum beavNH. in EScribe's device monitor, what are the individual cell voltages? pack voltage? if they are very low or imbalanced you may need to use the "USB recovery" function. post a screenshot of DM.

it should be fine to use. there might be little to difference in the vape from either profile. whatever you like best, use.

You should return or exchange your Triade. Contact your vendor. Defective Triade.

@Rob_H wow, all that for $50, nice. definitely beats my 40w radioshack pencil iron i use. when you get it let me know how it performs, especially the hot air rework part. might get one...

what happens if you short out, directly on the DNA 40 board, the "out" and "gnd" using a piece of wire? does it give you a resistance or a "shorted" error? you need to isolate the problem by removing the 510 and it's wiring from the equation. this will tell you whether it's a board problem or a wiring/510 problem.

welcome to the forum Do1. you're saying if you take out the batteries and put them back in, the device will not power on unless you first insert a USB cable. you can try and re-install the latest service pack (SP5) and see if that helps. if that does not work, you should first contact the vendor you purchased your Triade from. ask them about a return before contacting Lost Vape's repair center or contacting evolv. Lost Vape has a warranty service center, located in the U.S. Lastly, if all else fails, you can open a help ticket with evolv.

here's another pic of the install. you can sort of see where i connected the 10k res to on the daughter board. it may help some...... FYI, you need to install the screen ribbon to the DNA 60 before soldering mating the two boards. i also removed the DNA's up and down buttons (not the entire button, just unclipped the actuators).

you're experiencing "refinement". it's the board refining the base resistance lower when the device is idle or goes to sleep. this is normal. refinement makes the device more accurate when in TC mode. all you have to do is increase your temp setting to where it was vaping before refinement. EX - if it was vaping great at 420F at first, then the device went to sleep and the resistance refined and now the vape is weak, you would have to increase the temp up, 450F+ (estimate)

@joelhammonds - yes, the positive side of capacitor. those pin holes are vias don't concern yourself about those. another option is this pin of the charging IC, it's all on the same circuit, whatever is easier. TBH and don't get offended, if you're not that familiar with circuits or soldering this can end up being a very difficult modification and a big headache. i didn't mention this but i also had to grind away an aluminum post for the DNA 60 to fit.

yes it is. it is the far right pin. you can do that but i found it easier to bend the leg of the 10k resistor over to the input capacitor of one the daughter board's charging chips. i circled the place i connected the 10k res to in red (be sure to solder the resistor leg on the + side of the ceramic capacitor, the positive side has "C4" in white). it is USB (VBUS) +5v.

bump it up to 2.85, like dwcraig1 suggested. my point about the 2.5v value is, the board will not operate below that voltage. just because you set "2.5" in EScribe doesn't mean the device accepted that value. there's a minimum voltage the board needs to see before it'll even turn on. there's a difference between voltage at rest and voltage under load as well. also DNA's have a hard cutoff voltage (non adjustable) and soft cutoff voltage (which you're able to set in EScribe).

3.09v is common cutoff for lipos. I use 2.7v for the cutoff when I'm using 18650's. And 3v when I'm using a lipo. 2.5v Is too low for the device. The board won't operate under 2.5v.

Does the mod still connect to EScribe? If it does post a screenshot of device monitor with a charged battery installed.

lol, you said it yourself, the battery sux. the lipo for the VT200 is scarce. if you find it somewhere buy it. i did find this..... http://www.ebay.com/itm/LAVABOX-EFUSION-MINI-HOBOX-HCIGAR-LIPO-BATTERY-UPGRADE-3S-950mAh-DNA-200-900mAh-/281993080875?hash=item41a818f02b:g:xWgAAOSwjwlXA2i2

wow there really is a VT250, very nice looking. judging by the fact it takes three 18650's and by looking at the photos, i'd say the top of the 510 is at least 24 if not 25mm or larger.

the CSV is most likely for a single 18650 cell (DNA 75), but it should work even with the DNA 250. you would have to input a 2.90v "cell soft cutoff" value and also the "capacity" watt hour value - 27 should get you close.
