VapingBad

You can set the USB current to zero in Device Monitor if you want to use it without charging.

Have fun ChinkyButt, I have one on the way, should be long now.

Maybe, but the power wires are a little under spec and the ground tab from the battery cradle is not very substantial and will limit the effect of tweaking the springs. It probably won't be a big deal unless you are at very high watts and I would just make sure it works well with your batteries and leave it at that. When I say works well there have been some where the positive reverse protection plastic moulding is a bit big for the battery and they don't make a good contact, just one of those things 18650 are not precision instruments. You could reduce the ring a little or use small disc magnet on battery +ve if you get this.

I would look at the results while vaping rather that with no airflow, you vid did show it regulating temp, maybe the wrong temp ATM. I would try and find someone using the same wire successfully and use the materials profile they have as they vary quit a bit.

I use LGDBHE4.... but it cannot charge via USB.... if some one have lg he4 discharge profile...please post hear[/QUOTE] I searched this thread for he4 with no results, but it may be worth following it someone may post one. /topic/65604-topic/?

lol I just did one to help Same as the circuit I posted and the RC site 3S circuit

I don't want to sound unkind, but so far I've received over a half dozen PM's about you. No your diagram missed the last wire, and anyone with the Mod can monitor all 3 Cells to SEE a difference of voltage under a load for themselves. It's one tinfoil thing after another. Now if you find a confirmed problem then and only then post it. [/QUOTE] No all the connections were there and if you translate that to a circuit schematic it is identical to the one you got from an RC hobby site. I don't think I wrote anything about monitoring cells it this thread. Nobody was trying to find a problem, just to check there was not one because the pictures concerned people here and on other sites.

I just looked at the video and agree with Spiromentry it seems to be working fine for with no air flow, I only posted before after seeing the res test with a velocity and reading warnings about setting mod res too high.

It only requires a 150 F change in coil temp in the first second, but if the materials profile is not correct for the wire and they vary with Ti and even more so with SS or you do not get a good cold res reading it will upset things. Mod resistance unless it is set too high is very unlikely to, but the mad maker should have set it so it should not be something the user has to worry about. Better to not set mod res than set it too high it will just mean the temp reading will be off at very low resistances. Lots of people are having great results with custom materials profiles, but it can be a challenge to get the correct one for your wire with alloys like Ti and SS, also don't rule out connection issues.

I see you have a mod res test with a veloicty reading 0.013, if you set your mod res anywhere that it could be at least part of the problem. I tested my 1590A mod with a varitube like that and got 0.010, but with a solid copper bar I got 0.005 and a soldered carto 0.004, I set it to 0.003.

Tinfoil hat lol after you insisting my correct wiring diagram was wrong and we didn't understand LiPo wiring you left the tread in a huff, but together we put the pieces together to be able to reassure concerned owner's and of course satisfy our own curiosity.

Yes from the balance taps, but they are not fused so it could still read the cell voltages, neve had a fuse blow so I can't say what Escribe will show.

Are they black and white not grayscale?

That was an example of a bad connection to a cell, before deciding if one cell is bad swap thier positions and see if the weak cell is still the same physical cell (18650) or same position ("Cell n" in Escribe). Cell numbers for realeaux from above

You should look at both plots, with the cells swapped around cell 1 is still weak, so most likely is that battery slot as I said above, the OP understands anyway.

It can draw over 500 mA with data lines present if the computer has a USB power setting, later versions of Windows don't so it is mostly 500 mA. I would think that over 1 A would be a fault with the DNA, not seen this happen though.

OOS, have been since a member here cleared them out a couple months ago.

You are welcome

The red line is still a little lower, which probably means a weaker connection on that cell which could be the plastic ring on the positive connection in the mod battery cradle is a little high and struggles to make a good connection with all batteries. If you put a thin disc magnet on the +ve of that battery and cures it than you could do 1 of 3 things: use it with the magnet, sand/cut off a little of the plastic ring or return it for replacement. It could also be soldering to the balance connections if the magnet does not fix it.

From the photos I think these are the cell numbers when looking from above.

If you swap the a battery positions and cell 1 is still the weak one in Escribe then it is a problem with the mod.

You can see the battery voltage take a dive (dark red line) on you plot, it is probably a poor connection, try a disc magnet on the +ve of the outside battery. E: I mean the rear lhs battery no the outside one.

Cell 1 is the one that is causing the problem, I think that is the rear lhs battery, not absolutely sure though.

Because you have a high voltage sag from the batteries. 18650s will never perform as well as decent LiPos, but it could be old, tired or low CDR batteries, poor or dirty connections, poor soldering and a few other things. What batteries are you using? First try cleaning the battery terminals on the batteries and mod with IPA or rubbing alcohol, I also read that for some batteries the reverse protection ring is a little high and can cause a poor contact, a small disc magnet on the positive terminal should confirm this.

Not a video, but a very clear diagram and as Jaquith said don't forget to set it for 2 cells in Escribe (type = LiPo) /topic/67232-topic/
