That should not be a problem as long as they feel held tight, some people have reported that the plastic rings round the positive terminal can cause a poor contact with some batteries.

I would give the batteries and terminals a clean with IPA or rubbing alcohol and it that doesn't help you could try small spacer disc magnets on the positive end of the battery to see if it is the reverse protection rings being a bit long for your batteries, not ideal, but useful to check for that possibility.

The newest, I have been using it since it was released and all good. -

Have you got the latest version of Escribe? They are here /topic/66731-topic/ -

You can check the cells with a multi meter via the balance plug, each adjacent pair is the voltage of a cell so GND & 1 = V cell 1, 1 & 2 = V cell 2, 2 & 3 = V cell 3, GND & 3 = V battery. Most hobby chargers do not charge through the balance plug, you may need to make leads to connect to the main battery terminals.

Interesting, the cell 1 reading relies on the ground strap from the battery cradle if and I repeat if this is a common thing with these it could be that the ground strap is higher resistance than the positive battery wire, it could also be that the screw is not tight enough, the moulding of the plastic battery cradle causing less mechanical pressure on the battery contact for cell 1, and a few other things. (I am also assuming cell one is the lowest potential, but I am confident that is the case. Do not take action on the strength of this as it is just possibilities at the moment, but it would be interesting to see how common a weak cell 1 reading is with this mod.

The board will take care of it and will only blow a fuse because of a fault and not just because you set it too high, it will throttle back power if you set anything too high. The amps through the coil and amps from the battery will always be different, the easiest way to think about it is watts in and watts out of the board. The board is 97% efficient converting the power so to get 200 W it needs 206.2 W, the highest current will be when the battery is at it's lowest 9.27 V, so I = P/V = 206.2/9.27 = 22.4 A. On the coil side it has a max current of 50 A max and a max voltage limit of 9 V that will limit how low a resistance you can use at full power.

temp seeming to show wrong on mod and escribe
VapingBad replied to CanadianCough's topic in Report a Bug
Have you set your mod resistance, there is an official Lavabox setting file that has their figure, what you describe is consistent with it reading the resistance a bit high. -
People vape Ti setting the temp limit about 90 F lower when using it with a Ni200 profile/TCR to get 90 F higher than the limit at the coil, but this shouldn't be necessary with a proper Ti materials profile.

Glad you got it working Avvidx they are a great mod.

If a thin disc magnet on the positive of the cell 1 position cure it then it is the plastic ring around the positive contact of the cell 1 position, if not it is probably the wiring maybe a dry solder joint on the balance leads. You could do 1 of 3 things: use it with the magnet on the positive of the cell 1 position, sand/cut off a little off the plastic ring around the positive contact of the cell 1 position (this would void your warranty) or return it for replacement.
-
You could check the board mounting screws make a good connection, they don't need overnighting. The other thing is in debug mode (Escrib - Help - About click the logo 7 times) look at the band gap in Device Monitor IIRC it should be a volt or slightly over.
-
That is more than unlucky, folding repeatedly in the same spot will break the conductors, folding once shouldn't, have you tried raising a ticket?
-
Bend them around a credit card, only bend once in any one point of the cable and don't bend the 1 mm nearest the glass and you should be OK. It is out of Evolvs control the don't make them, but the connection point could be in a more convenient place.

If you see my post #4 a Velocity with 3 x 2.5 mm square accounted for 0.006 on my tests, so I would suggest 0.006 or 0.007 for mod res as making it to high apparently leads to instability.

Titanium Profile for EScribe software

http://www.steam-engine.org/wirewiz.asp but the download does not work with Internet Explorer you will need FireFox or Chrome. -
I has been discussed, but I don't think they will do it because a setting that works well for a cool coil can over cook your liquid on a warm coil. Templimited preheat is a much better way to do it IMO.
-
A solder sucker or de-soldering ribbon, flux will help. If it is one of the battery and charger connection it would not cause a problem as they are connected anyway.

You still have the temp very low @ 290 F, most people vape over 400 F, 380 myself and the result of locking the cold res higher is shifting it along the temp scale so the actual coil temp will be a lot higher than the setting. IIWU I would use the cold res that the DNA worked out 0.14 and raise the temp limit to 400 - 450 F and see where that get you, and remember that it is always going to throttle the power a lot with no air flow to cool it. I did a small poll a while ago and most people vaped in the 401-425 F (205-218 C) range, it is a very small sample though.

Personally I wouldn't unless you are using very high watts as it will be too easy to melt the plastic at the negative terminals.
