Mod fires regardless of which battery slot is used....

When attempting to run the battery analyzer with a single cell. The analyzer repeatedly reports "Analyzer failed. Insufficient battery samples" I should note that when installing a fully charged battery (per Nitecore D4 charger) the analyzer reports the battery as 4.15 (or so). I tried multiple batteries when attempting to test a single cell. Same results.

Just completed testing a fourth set of batteries. As suspected, results are inline with previous results.

Not certain I understand your thoughts exactly but, if the issue were that the batteries were discharging at different rates, would there be such a dramatic difference between the boards? Across all three sets of batteries? Almost four sets now, once the set I'm currently testing completes.... I have noted that when I remove the batteries after testing and place in the external charger, the batteries are within .01 volts of one another. According to my D4 charger anyway....

I'm testing with a 75 non-C at the moment so I can't check to be certain. But, I believe I'm running the latest SP28, international version.

Monitoring the device while firing, voltage drop seems normal. I tested 3 sets of batteries. Once each with a 75C board and once each with a 75 non-C board. Testing on the C board, the analyzer doesn't seem to test the batteries all the way down to the same level as when testing on the non-C. In other words, when using the C board and a test completes, there is approximately 80% of the battery charge remaining. When testing with the non-C board, the test drains the batteries almost completely with only ~10% or so remaining.

New LV Paranormal DNA 75C, new batteries. I haven't changed any of the settings on the mod thus far. Just received the mod and batteries today. When running the analyzer, it's reporting the usable watt hours at approximately 4Wh. So far, I've run the test on two separate sets of married batteries and both test report approximately 4Wh on each set. When the test reports the usable watt hours, the mod still shows approximately 85% battery remains. Anyone have any idea what may be causing this? On a parallel set of 3000mAH batteries, I would expect a much higher usable watt hour rating. I'm running the analyzer again on another set of married batteries using a DNA 75 non-color board. I'll report back when it finishes but so far, this test has already run longer than the two previous tests with the 75C board in the Paranormal. UPDATE: The test has been running about a half hour to forty five minutes at this point. I set the test wattage at 60 watts but just noticed that the analyzer is test firing at ~30-32 watts only...

Well, I'm not too clear on that either. So on the battery tab, those settings are for input of power from the battery to the coil and on the electrical tab, that is for charging of the battery?

Is it possible create a theme that allows one to change the battery CVS on the mod? For example, if the user is using battery X and swaps out for battery Y, can this be changed on the mod or must the device be connected to Escribe? This pertains to the 75C. I know this is not possible on previous boards. Regarding batteries; I'm a little confused with the latest versions of escribe. There are max settings on the battery tab and on the electrical tab. Which takes precedence? On the battery tab, shouldn't these max settings be saved and loaded with the battery CSV files? That way, these setting are automatically loaded when a new CSV is loaded.

Well.... that's more than I've heard which is essentially nothing until this. I don't care about the wattage. It's the lower resistance and 2amp charging I want.... Fast(slow)tech has the Therion 75C for like $105 which is pretty tempting... But, I think I can hold out a bit longer. Should I falter and order the 75C, I know the day I receive it someone will come out with the 250C or 300C or whateverC....

So, have you heard any? Rumors? Mentions? I want a color DNA but, the 75 doesn't go low enough for me so, I'm trying to hold out. I am seeing the 75C's starting to drop in price so... A safe assumption that the 250C is coming? Soon?

Thanks for the input. I'll try lowering the cut off. On a side note; I am using VTC5As.

Glad I didn't offend you! Wasn't my intent. I was chatting with the wife about it. When I spelled it to her, first though she had was retard... LOL Damn, we're a tuff bunch huh.....? Lucky for you though. Hopefully I'll make it to retirement. I quit smoking so, certainly better chance than my father; dead at 53. 2+ pack a day smoker. As for a different build: I already changed from my normal SS aliens so I could use this mod. Those are way too low for a DNA75 at .05 or .06. I ready enjoy the amount of vapor I get with bigger builds. Not a cloud chaser or anything but, I do enjoy a 'fuller' vape. I use Steam Engine for coils, ohms law, & material profiles. Has served me well these last 2 years. Thanks again for the help.

Well, that explains everything... Guess this Lavabox M isn't the best lil pocket mod for me. But, I still like it. Just gotta carry spare batteries.... Thanks for the input retird. Hey, on a side note; is it safe to say retird is Retired? I can't help but see returd when I glimpse at the name. Sorry... not trying to be a jerk, just saying. I do appreciate the help. :-)

I'm drawing a blank? Where do you see a setting for a minimum input voltage?

So, 2 volts is the lowest Escribe will let me set the cut off at. Also, even though the info I have states that LG HB6's have a CDR of 32 and max of 40, Escribe limits this to 28 and 32 respectively.

I'll check the other percentages later but at 40% battery, it doesn't appear that the voltage sags below the cut off of 2.0 yet the voltage is not being applied to the coils.

I'll try turning the preheat down a bit. I agree with you regarding ss and dual fused claptons EXCEPT, the mod works perfectly until about 50% battery.

I have an Hcigar VT75 which can use an 18650 or a 26650. I've only ever used it with a 26650. I recently purchased a Volcano Lavabox M which uses a single 18650. I'm using Sony VTC5s. I have run the case analyzer and the battery analyzer. I'm running dual SS316 fused claptons at about 0.12 ohms. When running in temp mode, the mod cuts out around 50%. If I insist on trying to fire in temp by pressing the fire button repeatedly, the mod will eventually fire at full power though it will only do this maybe twice. If I switch to wattage mode, the mod will fire at 60 watts no problem. Until the battery gets to about 35-40%. Then the same thing happens. The mod doesn't want to fire. Lower the wattage to around 50 watts and I can get about about 10% lower before the mod refuses to fire at power. Odd thing is, this didn't start to happen until I ran the analyzers and changed the settings. Watching the device monitor, I see this is due to voltage sag. The voltage provided by the battery is insufficient to reach the wattage setting. So, I set the soft cuttoff to 2 but this hasn't seemed to make a difference. Might have even made the cuttoff happen faster. If I'm not concerned with prolonging battery life, what is the lowest, yet safest cutoff I can set for this particular battery?

I'm not sure I understand your request? You had a VT200 and are looking to purchase a similar mod? Or someone you know has a VT200 that he wants to sell? If the price is right for you, I'd say buy it. You also say that you switched from the VT133 to the VT167? I personally have 3 VT200's and love them all. The VT200 was my first DNA mod. I loved it so much, I bought 2 more "just in case." Turns out, I didn't need to worry about it because Evolv stands behind their chips. I did have an issue which Evolv quickly remedied for free even though the mod was technically out of warranty. I also have an Hcigar VT75, Lost Vape's Therion 75 & 166 & the Triade 250. Oh and the Lost Vape Halcyon which is also a DNA200. They are all great mods. Hcigar and Lost Vape both produce quality mods for what they are, mass produced.

I just wanted to say thank you to the Evolve team. Thank you for a superior product, continued innovation ( a big two big thumbs up on Mac support), and fantastic customer support. I love you guys and the 8 DNA mods I own. Now, if you'd hurry up with a 250C! :-) Thanks!!!

Makes perfect sense now James. Thanks for clarification. Stupid, stupid FDA.... Although, you didn't say whether his feature is coming to the 200 & 250???? PLEASE PLEASE say yes....

So, this 'Boost' feature is only available on the 75C? Any plans to extend to the other DNA devices like the 250, at least? Also curious why this is listed as only available in the international version?

BIG is a bit of an understatement! I'm so excited, I can't wait!!
