This is a common request and has not been implemented yet. The current logic is that the temperature setting is a limit and you adjust your vape up and down with wattage. Some vape the way you describe though, that is they want to get to their set temp fast and stay there and are never adjusting wattage. It may be an option in future releases. Personally, I go back and forth. Right now I am using an aromamizer that will dump big clouds if I give it full watts and my usual set temp. I use wattage to dial it back (at work for example). It has the coil area and wick area to keep up. On my smaller atomizers I just set the target temp and move on.

It is an either or setting, max puffs or max recharges. One charges the pack more, the other less for longer life.

Some mac users are getting inexpensive windows tablets as a solution. Personally I am just avoiding El Capitain for a bit. I put it on one test system and like it, but am in no hurry.

Setting your wh ratting will not impact how much it charges. It charges to a voltage point.

Is it possible you had set it for two cell operation in error?

Unplug all other USB devices and test then. If it still shuts down the computer, you will need to arrange repair or replacement with the mod manufacture or Evolv.

I am stumped. The ground is indeed the only one that could have resulted in all reading 0. It could be a short at the other end of the ground wire (on the pack).

Try unplugging all of the other USB devices from the offending 4th computer to verify that it isn't pulling the available voltage of the system down.

Thanks Nick...got it.

I have gotten replies from help tickets in 24 hours or less. Check your junk mail folders etc.

That is a lot of coil. Have you watched in device monitor as you vape your 6 good hits to see what is different on your 7th? Voltage sage maybe?

Probably things you have looked at already, but some ideas: -Hard and soft reboot in escribe -Verify that buttons are not being pressed (that they all work as expected and are not being pressed -Verify under the screen tab in escribe that your active/idle times are set correctly (defaults are 6 seconds active and 60 seconds idle). As an aside, I love the mill work on the mod. Sad that it is a one-off.

No. That is too low. Going below 3v may result in you not getting it back up and there is so little usable capacity at that point regardless. The more logical solution is what you have already done and that is to assume your current batteries are just tired and replace them.

If it fails to get to 100%, the watt hour setting may be off or overstated. The charging cuts off at 4.2 or 4.1 depending on your setting related to max puffs or max recharge. If you are reading 4.21, it may be during the balance portion where the pack is charged at a low rate and the cells that are topped off are drained to keep them from over charging while the low cell(s) are topped off to 4.2 or 4.1. To my knowledge the watt hour setting is batter meter related and in no way charge system related.

Do you have a multi-meter and if so, can you test the balance charger for the correct voltage? If the balance charge port on the pack is correct and the DNA200 can't see it, they you may be down to a hardware error.

Add the under spec watt hour ratting from testing of the VT200. Users that put in 14 in the mod tab are getting inaccurate battery meters as some of the shipped packs have less than 11 watt hours of capacity.

The ground solder joint looks a bit funky. How about the four resistors to the right of the USB port? Did not lift perhaps when soldering?

Copied your ECF post on setup...

No power while the USB is plugged in?

Building on Mad's reply...if you have stands you are not tinning your wire, which will get you into trouble in many other assembly areas.

The efusion looks solid and is advertised as having a decent battery (quality wise).

Added mod not charging due to wrong battery type selected and USB recovery charge issues.

What do the cell voltages look like in device monitor? The VS mod has a unique charging interface and it sounds like your issue is specific to that. At a minimum I would cal VS and go over your issue as it seems related to their zip charging add-on.

Fuse blew and now you believe it reads cell voltages wrong. What do you actually get with your meter on that pack? If you are 100% certain the board is measuring the pack wrong and all the connections are solid, then I would open a support ticket to swap it. I would double check though.

Yea...no way is it the fuse and you can't tell with a dodgy battery if it is the issue. If you have access to a 3s lipo in the right C range you can put on a connector and vape/test with it while you wait for the right sized pack to go in the enclosure.
