(deleted some posts that were going too far off topic and the first was very similar to several by the same member, so no useful content gone from the forum. I will delete this post in a day or 2)

It maybe worth taking out the batteries, taking off the face plate, checking the screen cable is not fouling the switch and there is no e-liquid, dirt or solder on the board. It that doesn't solve it you could try taking out the batteries, taking off the face plate and unclipping the switch cover and cleaning and drying the inside of the switch, not which way up the metal disc goes. This is not something I would advise normally, but

True, but it would be a nicer user experience to bring the current value up. It maybe a very small issue within the big scheme of things, but Evolv want this product to be as user friendly as practicable. Bug does not just mean an error.

3alouka on ECF spotted this https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/threads/dna-200-watt.680148/page-264#post-17571590 It is a usability bug and does not affect functionality. After creating a custom material using a TCR when you go to edit it the default value of 0.006 appears in the input box causing confusion both in if it had been altered and what the original value was. I guess that's because EScribe converts it into a simple curve for the device and does not save the single value.

I don't think it's a common problem, I can't remember seeing it before anyway.

Your board is fried, open a ticket with Evolv here http://helpdesk.evolvapor.com/index.php?a=add they will probably sort you out.

It works just as well, it is just the max resistance is lower than for 200 W operation and obviously the 200 W limit. I can't see it being a big problem unless you want to use pre-made coils above about 0.3 ohms when hot at higher power levels.

Oh yeah, as Bill said with a well know build you can lock it in a profile or lock just changing batteries so that you can fit a warm atomiser, but if you don't refinement will sort it out as it cools, which is why IMO locking should be the exception rather than the rule. And for high temp gradients between indoors and out doors where the board temp and atomiser temps will probably never be the same.

No, you don't need to lock ohms, it stops refinement of the resistance reading and is just there as a last resort for connection issues that you can't cure.

What do they read in AA?

Do they read different resistances in Analyse Atomiser?

You may know this, but the new atty needs to be close and a bit higher resistance to trigger the prompt. What happens if you prees fire between changing them to force it to know you are changing the atty?

Yes, only in Escribe

It's a check box in each profile.

It sounds a bit like a connection issue, at any rate it would seem the cold ohms have shifted. I notice you have preheat off that may cause problems if the coil does not heat at least 150 F in the first second the DNA will stop temp limiting maybe this happens and then it starts temp limiting again using a higher cold res, IDK just a possibility. Have you tried locking the res?

We are all learning all the time PBiddy412 no shame in that, quite the opposite. If, and it is an if, the Laisimo does not regulate the power in real time the power will lower with ss as the coil gets hot, where as all the Evolv boards would keep the power lever and this would be similar to setting the power a lot higher. Not many people realise this form what I see around the web. IMO it is a big part of what made ss popular with mech users reducing the power as the coil get hot gives a more even vape and the impression they are vaping at a higher power than than they really are. It also could be that is is firing at lower power.

lol that's me getting mixed up more than anything, sorry. If the Laisimo keeps firing when you unscrew the atty then it is not monitoring the power in real time, that is not a definitive test, but if it keeps firing it would be a definitive result. if you see pBusardo's IPV2 review at 35 mins he demonstrates it, I wish he kept this test up.

Sorry I don't follow you, the vape is different between a proper real-time VW and a non-real-time VW which will be more like a mech where the power will drip as the ss coil heats. What I have been suggesting is that if the Laisimo is in the non-real-time VW set it would perfectly explain the OP.

Does the Laisimo display live volts, if it does and they don't change while it's firing see my previous post, else are they around the same level as the DNA.

Hard to guess from afar, but as DNAs have real-time power regulation and many other all boards just test the res before you fire then use a fixed voltage like the SX350. If these are ss coils their resistance will raise 15-20% when they get to temp and the DNA will automatically adjust the voltage to compensate and keep delivering the wattage you set. The voltage will increase as you vape, the power will stay the same. If you other mod does not have real-time power regulation the voltage would stay the same and the power would decrease. If this is the case just reduce the power a bit.

As Bill said it is not supported, the DNA 40 came out 9 months before Escribe and the USB only connects to a separate charge board and not the main control board.

Looks like you are hitting the 6 V limit for 2 cell operation Sandy, the coil resistance is too high. When hot is is 0.647 ? which is between 50 & 60 W on the table I posted and you are at just under 55 W.

I'm with Mike, try the latest EScribe & FW to get all the fixes to date, I have not seen anyone permanently brick the board from a firmware update and when they have go wrong the manual update has always recovered it.

Enjoying my favourite Ti build so far, loads of flavour, fast heat up and very smooth regulation. ETA using the inbuilt Ti profile and cheap wire from FT (SKU 2839400).

You had plenty of time to edit your posts. I see nothing wrong with people quoting electronics law, this is the www and you cannot expect strangers to know your level of understanding. All post are public, not a private message chain so we should be grateful when poster take the time to write an explanation that all can understand and it why this forum exists.
