Nope, this is how the mod looks like from the top and bottom. As you can see there is no grounding wire to the battery negative pole. . 0

That is exactly what I thought, but this guy's acolytes kept telling me I was wrong regarding the "floating" set up, IMO it is missing a wire that connects B- to the battery negative pole.

I agree but since the chip is "floating" I guess this is why he did it this way. The OUT wire I cut to get it out of the mod it was longer and had insulation

Buddy I did not make this board, took it out of a shit mod that cost me 480 pounds for a DIY project. The chip is glued to a plastic sled, does not touch anything and the only two cables are for the B+ to the positive terminal of the battery and the power to the 510 pin. Here are some pics, maybe it is clearer.

Is this board wired correctly? Bear in mind that the B- does not go to the actual battery minus but is free standing.

yeah buddy I got it squared out.

Ok guys, I need your help. I am on another group where I gave a mod a bad review. Well along the discussion the subject that the chip on the mod is not grounded and these guys are telling me it does not need to be grounded, that it "earthens" (whatever that means) through the 510 pin....how can I explain this guy he is full of it and does not know what he is talking about? BTW the chip is not grounded to the 510 chip either.

Can I use the DNA40 small screen with the DNA75 chip? I have a mod I want to replace the chip and before I buy the chip and screen I was thinking to use the small screen as I do not want to have the frame machined to accommodate the bigger screen.

Yeah well, he had the mod for six months (I had returned it because the previous chip did not work), kept telling me he was waiting for the chip, and when finally I got mad and posted on his FB page, this is what he sent back.....he also has another mod from me, returned because the firing button did not work after two weeks, and since he is now upset because I outed him, he threatens to keep my money and the mod. Yes, they are good looking mods, but poorly made.

Yeah, I just looked at the old chip I replaced and removing the usb port is a no go. So basically I am screwed. Here is a pic of the function buttons. The two top ones are for navigating the menu, the one above the window is for firing.

retird thanks for answering, yes I know the chip, I replaced the one from my Element mods, remember. Now muy question is, can the usb port be moved so it faces to the right (on your picture) instead of up? Thanks for responding.. :-)

So guys, I have a mod from Lee Ash in England, he put a DNA 75 chip in it, but no USB port. Can the USB port on the chip be directed downward instead of to the side? I don't want to drill the wood. Here are a couple of pics of the mod so you get a better idea, the tube that has the window has a scre cap on the bottom that I could use to connect the chip.

Since I am not in the US I could not say...or care. Nor do I care to have a pissing match with someone who apparently has not used a DNA 75 or Dicodes chip, both of which I have and used. I came here for help, I got it from Retird so I as far as I am concerned this topic can be closed.

To each his own, I feel it is. As for going from 40 to 80 watt, DNA goes to 75 with one or two batteries, I'll take the DNA. The Germans make wonderful cars, but that does not mean all they make is great.

Thanks retird, I will.

Yes Harry at Element mods provides great service and it is sending me a chip so I can replace it. It is a simple solder job so I can manage. I am just surprised this happened. Also a bit worried because I ordered a mod from the UK and asked the modder to put a DNA 75 instead of a Dicodes chip which IMO has a horrible interface. Anyhow, thanks for the tip on opening a ticket retird, I appreciate your input.

Ok so an atty leaked on my mod, I saw the 510 connection was flooded so I cleaned it up. When I tried to fire the mod again it game a message of "too hot". Thinking that some liquid might have leaked into the catch cup I took apart the mod, and as suspected the catch cup had liquid as well. So I cleaned everything, put it back together and tried it again. No luck! So now my question is how can this happen with this chip?!? Isn't it supposed to be protected against short circuit? There was no liquid on the chip, the mod design is good, it has a catch cup that prevents liquid from entering the internals. So I wrote Element mods and they told me it looked like it was a blown thermistor....not happy, if this chip is this fragile and has no short circuit protection, them I am double sol as I had another mod made where I asked for this chip.

Yes, I went for DNA because I saw a review by Busardo where he compared DNA75 and YiHi 75. While the YiHi had a more accurate power curve, he showed the DNA had a smoother delivery although not really reaching the 75 watts. Since I never vape above 55 watts ( and rarely at this power setting) I thought the DNA would be better for me. I am pleased with my choice, the delivery is very smooth, fast and I love the e scribe.

I am not as experienced as you with the TC and DNA, but I have found out that Ni and SS seem to work better with this chip. I love, absolutely love SS with this. Flawless performance and great flavor. This is really the way to vape. I know some reviewers state that that they hate TC vaping. I cannot understand why, sure vaping with mecs is fun and "easy" but being able to vape without worrying about dry hits is just great!

The chip is working great! Still have some sporadic errors with Ti wire, but I fiddle with the coil and it seems to get rid of it. I love this TC vaping so a minor aggravation here and there is worth the sacrifice, thanks for asking awsum140

So I have noticed awsum140, I am fairly new at TC as I have been a staunch mec user, but I have to say I am delighted with this. For someone like me who is not after cloud chasing this is a wonderful way to vape.

Yeah, thanks for the link to common problems, checked it out and it answered some other doubts I had. I found them out while I was trouble shooting, but it is nice to know I did nothing wrong.. :-)

Thanks VapingBad, looks like you are correct, now it is working very well. I am so relieved. I had to send back a mod because the Dicodes chip was horrible. Was starting to think I am cursed.. :-)

Follow up, after spending a few hours troubleshooting, I noticed that this flaw was only happening with one atomizer. So I changed coils, made sure the leads were tight and the problems seems to have cleared up. Maybe the leads were loose (I had been using this atomizer fairly frequently) and it was causing a "false" reading and confusing the chip. Fingers crossed this is all the problem.

So, I got an Elements mod, DNA 75 chip. It worked for 1 week until it all went to hell. Now the chip, when I put it in TC control for Titanum 1 it won't go into TC but it will display TC as "OFF", then when it does go into TC it will work for a while and then it will show a string of numbers when it hits the set temperature and it wont work for TC. The screen does not show the settings placed in the e scribe screen menu, for example, for Temp sensing coils I have when not charging, OHM, temperature (standard) and profila name, in the mod it shows OHM, battery charge and Profile name, and of course the TC is off no matter what I do. I tried to reset to manufacturer standard and it did not work. So I am very upset, I cannot believe this chip is sent this way. So now I have to ship back to the manufacturer, wait two weeks till it gets there, have it replaced and then another two three weeks to get it back. Worse, I asked another mod maker to put this chip in my new mod, now I am regretting this decision.
