  1. How about a ZNA 60! Took a new old stock ZNA clone, installed the 60, drilled a hole in the bottom for a USB post, wired it up for Escribe access w/o charging. I also upgraded that darn crappy screw adjustable 510 by drilling out the top cap so I can drop the 510 in and lock it down with a set screw from the side, I used one of the VariTube V1 510's, they have always worked well for me. I have three more of these new old stock ZNA clones on my bench but I don't know if I want to build any more of them.

    I also put a 60 with the data/charge board in one of the Hana V4 mods. Don't have any pics of mine which is the same blue as John la's above, these pics are just some I grabbed off the net to give you and idea what the V4 looks like. I have one more of these waiting on my bench for another 60 build.  Bought a pair of them that were new old stock, there was a fellow (zbbmods) on ebay who was selling left over stock from Hana after they closed their doors. I really like this tiny and light V4, and it really works well.

    Yep ! Here you go 

    Let me know if you would like anything else checked off 

    Thank You :)

    EDIT: These are the only 2 things that were already checked when I opened Escribe. I'm still figuring out how to use it obviously but if I may ask what is the option under Tool/Diagnostics, Perform USB Recovery Charging ? What does this do..?

    Your screen shot shows the screen disconnected 163 times, likely the power button has pinched the flat screen cable. Below is a screen shot of one of mine, I used the windows "paint" program to point out the screen disconnect.

    1.) Yes you can use the non data 1 amp micro USB charging board. As you said, using this charger will render the DNA 60 sans EScribe.

    2.)Yes you can the ANY of the 128x32 OLED's (Do your spare OLED's have the red or green pull screen protector tab? I ask because the red tab'd screens are the most recent screens and are compatible with the 60, 75, 200 and 250 but not the 40. The old green tab'd screens (i think) work with the 40, 60, 75, 200 and 250.) 

    Any other question feel free to ask.

    Thank you! I wasn't sure if the 60 board had any role in charging other then monitoring, I was pretty sure it didn't being a separate board but wasn't sure. I know some of the screens I have are the green tabs, may be a couple reds in the mix but most I've had for some time, I'll make a note of that for reference, thanks again!

  5. Couple questions I need answered before I do a 60 install, I'm in the process of swapping out a DNA 40D board and upgrading to a 60 in a Hana V4S today. Yeah I know, nothing like waiting to the last second to ask questions.... 

    1. Can I use the prior 1AMP Evolv charge board, wired to the 60, to charge the 18650 battery? I'm talking about the charge board without escribe capabilities being sold prior to the 60 release, I realize I won't have escribe. 

    2. The 60's I have came as small screen, I need a large screen. I have spare 200 screens, can I use one of those with the 60? I know I'd have to upload the correct large screen firmware to the board.

    I was going to use the existing 40D screen, but last night I happen to see on the Evolv 60 sales page, under the spare screen description it says; NOTE: This screen is NOT compatible with the DNA 40. So I assume the 40 screen also won't work with the 60 https://www.evolvapor.com/products/dna60

    Thanks! :DD

    Hello. Today I bought a paranormal. I connected to the computer and through escribe I made some basic settings and uploaded them to the device. So far all good. A little while ago I wanted to do some more, refuses to upload the escribe, and for anything I try to upload to my paranormal it makes the message "falled to upload settings". Why is this happening? what does not go well?

    Try other USB ports and other USB cables, I have a drawer of cables that will still charge but stopped working with data connection. I've tried expensive and cheap cables, doesn't seem to matter, it's hit or miss how long they'll last. Now I keep a couple new cables on hand so I'm not stuck without one that works.

    Judging by no one else having commented, it must be my end.. but Windows Defender just spat the dummy about ecigstats - I upgraded to the latest 2.0SP8 yesterday...  : 

     

    I just updated the wife's Windows 10 computer the other day and read a article in the news paper about the new version MS released, it includes among other things, updated higher security. Expect more of these false flags with Defender until they iron some of them out, some I'm sure won't rise to the level that MS will invest the time to do anything about, how many of the populace use escribe? Maybe there is a way to dismiss the warning? The wife doesn't vape, I don't have escribe on her computer and I'm using Windows 7 on my desktop, I don't care for 10.

    thanks for you help

     

     

    edit : maybe need ground too ... ??

    pin 12 Charger/USB - USB power negative 

     

    Yes that is the correct answer thanks to member ChunkButt200 who posted it here with pics. https://forum.evolvapor.com/topic/65550-dna-60/?do=findComment&comment=916132 I finally got around to finishing my ZNA 60 and this worked perfectly. I finally got around to finishing my ZNA 60 project and this worked perfectly. I drilled a hole in the base for the 510 then filled the gaps with some hot glue, trimmed the excess with a new x-acto blade and good to go. I also came up with a way to get rid of the crappy screw adjustable 510 and install a VariTube V1 510, not the mod is perfect.

    Coil Face ID ;-) - You made my Day!

    Beside this - w´d like to use the boost with slow heating coils - not for more power - a lot of people asking for Preheat !

    Most of them using chinese mods with custom firmware - always the same question " i wonder why my cheap mod can preheat and the DNA not?" (Kanthal non TC)

    Ah, preheat boost, sorry, I thought folks were looking to get more then 200 and 250 from the boards and I just can't see going even up to 200.  I'm guilty of not reading all the posts.

    I used electrical solder with a flux core that I got from hobby lobby

    IMG_1584.JPG

    That's fine, you may already know this but the paste used for soldering copper pipes will work fine for a while but can ruin electronics over time, it's corrosive. Don't ask me how I know.......

  11. dberry, I enlarged and enhanced one of your pics showing where you solder wires for the remote fire switch. I'd try to carefully clean this area between these two holes with some IPA and q-tips, make sure it isn't making a connection there. What did you use for soldering flux? Not soldering paste found in the plumbing dept at someplace like Lowes was it?

  12. Dual 18650's, nice! Looks good!

    I put one in a ZNA mod, I love those ZNA's, they feel good in my hand and make for a nice pocket mod when working around the house. It's still a work in progress mod, I replaced the crappy adjustable 510 with a VariTube V1 spring loaded 510, need to get some pics showing that.  I've also got to do something different with the patch cable I made for connecting to the charge board so I can use escribe, I've started a thread looking for some answers on that in the modders section --> https://forum.evolvapor.com/topic/68792-can-i-bypass-the-charge-board-wire-a-usb-port-directly-to-board-for-escribe-no-charging-needed/

    I'm very happy with the 60 so far, I'm getting just as good a vape as I do with my 75's and 200's.

  13. I put a 60 board in a ZNA mod, there is not enough room in the mod for the charge board. I'm not looking to charge battery's in the mod, just want to be able to use escribe. Is it possible to wire a USB port directly to the 60 board for using escribe? For now I made a patch cable from a piece of an old IDE cable and JST balance connectors as found on lipo's, I can tuck it inside the mod when I don't need it. When I need to use escribe I can remove the battery tube, pull the patch cable out, re-install the battery and tube and use escribe. I was planning on making a better and permanent patch cable but I got thinking, if I can wire a USB port to the board I can make a slot for it and then be able to plug a USB cable directly to the mod.

    Here's some pics of what I have now.

  14. retird, Here's what I came up with, it will get me by until I come up with a better, permanent patch cable. I used a piece of an old IDE cable and the JST battery connectors, it just fits in that void above the screen you pointed out. I can pull it out, put the battery tube back on and run the mod with a 18650 while monitoring in escribe. Now I need to know, is there a way to shut charging off in escribe with the 60? I don't see it under Device Monitor, then under the Diagnostics button like you would with a 200 connected

    You know I love you Willy, but most of the world work in mm, so .020 without the unit specified , which we would assume is mm, seems a hell of a lot smaller than the 0.508 mm it is, though both very small.

    My bad, my world is small, I forget this internet reaches world wide. It's an amazing thing to me, at my age I would have never dreamed where we are today. Back in the day most phone lines (longggg before cell phones) were shared party lines, there would be 3 or 4 of your neighbors on the same line, you were careful what you said because any of them could listen in. We've come a long way, younger folks must laugh at our stories of how things use to be. 

    VB, thank you brother. ;)

    Hello.

    For your information...

    JST B2C Connector pitch variations.

    SH : 1mm

    ZH : 1.5mm

    PH : 2mm

    XH : 2.5mm

    DNA60 USB Through-hole pitch : 0.08 in ( approx. 2mm ) = PH Connector!.

    Ah damn it, so my 3 AM math was off, looks like .020 difference. I may still have a chance at making it work, bending the pins to align with the holes in the board isn't a problem, what may be a issue, the body of the JST won't sit flush with the board. I may have to go with another connector, well only one way to find out! 

  17. retired, I think I found a solution, if my 3 AM math is correct a 4S lipo battery balance (JST XH) connector will solder right to the 60 board in holes 11-15. https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/jst-sales-america-inc/B5B-XH-A(LF)(SN)/455-2270-ND/1530483

    B5B-XH-A(LF)(SN).jpg.jpg

    The pins on the JST are .010 closer together then the holes on the board but that's so minor I can bend them a tad so they will align. The body of the connector will fit in the Z and I'm pretty sure it will be low enough to clear the battery tube, if not I can trim it down, heck I could remove the body and just have the pins sticking out of the board. I ordered a cable from amazon that has both the male and female connectors, male to solder to the charge and female for the board. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1GQ8KC
