Yes, it's working perfectly. The problem was the wire...

No. I use(ed) the same material across all profiles. The profiles were set to the same boost but each profile increased the wattage incrementally. This is how I HAD my devices setup but at that time, "Temperature Dominate" was unstable for me. This feature (and/or my knowledge) seems to have improved since I initially tried it so, this is all I use now. Now I have a profile for each material I use and have the profiles set to Temperature Dominate.

Turns out my problem was the wire. Changed the profile to SS304 and all my DNA devices are working wonderfully.

Using the default coil setup on the Wire Wizard page of 30 AWG, 2mm, 8 wraps, the TC Precision number for Stainless Steel 316L is 879 and Nickel 200 (TFR) is 780. I thought nickel was the more accurate of the 2 yet the TC Precision number is lower with the nickel than the SS. If the wire with the higher TC precision number is the more accurate wire, than why is SS so difficult? I suspect it's the curve that's important. If that's the case, what value do the "TC Precision" numbers have? If one cannot/should not rely on this number when selecting a TC wire, what should one use? ( I realize there are many variables dependent on the individual. I ask strictly based on accuracy of the wire.) Considering the difficulty mods have dealing with SS, particularly with 316, why is it so popular and not 430? The TC number according to SE is considerably higher for SS 430 at 1105 with the aforementioned coil specifications.

I have to agree with Yoseff here. My therion came with all nickel presets although they were labeled as different wires. Assuming correct values are used, there's a very noticeable difference between SS & Nickel in regards to the graph and the right most value in the graph. LostVape did a poor job setting up this device. Out-of-box experience was crap and frankly, SS is on the DNA (and other boards) is crap. On both the Therion & the Hcigar VT75 I have. The chip just can't decide what to do half the time. My VT200 running sp2 however is working great with SS.

Therein lies another issue I have with all my DNA mods; Many times I do not get the prompt about a new atomizer even though I have lowered the setting in Escribe to 5.08%, the lowest the software allows it to be set. I hope your issue is not mine. As I mentioned previously, I experienced this problem on the 200 prior to the latest (SP2) update. As a side note, I have 3 DNA 200's & 2 75's so I have a little experience with the DNA mods. I can replicate this issue across both 75's. How does one get a response from Evolv? My preference would be that they respond via the forum to help the community as opposed to opening a ticket.

I will try that but..... I have a feeling something else is happening here. While you are correct in seeing a difference, this could be attributed to the mod's themselves. All three use different material for the 510's. This would not explain the difference when changing the profile to not being Temperature Dominate. I feel this is where the problem lies. I had this problem with the 200's before the latest firmware came out. I never used Temperature Dominate because of this reason. When the latest firmware came out this issue seemed to be resolved which led to me trying it on the 75's.

I wondered if the Temperature Dominate setting had any effect so, unchecked the box and now, at 40 watts, 3.6 volts, the device mgr show the coil doesn't even reach temp. When temp dominate was set, the dev mgr showed the coil reaching temp at 9.5 watts and 1.6 volts...

Hey Bill, thanks for the idea but I don't think that's the issue. One mod uses dual 18650's while the other is using a single 26650. The screenshot below is of the dual 18650. Sag isn't the issue, in my opinion. Gotta be something else.... Something to note; before I decided to compare the mods, I was 'living with it' by increasing the temp and therefor the wattage. Battery sag would be more noticeable at higher wattage if that were in fact the issue, wouldn't it? Also, when in power mode, both 75's also cruise along fine.

Can't figure this out, hoping someone here has an idea. I have a DNA 200 running SP2 of the latest firmware. I have 2 DNA 75's running the latest 6/5/16 firmware. All 3 mods are using the exact same TCR file from SteamEngine for SS316L. All 3 mods have had the case resistance set using a copper plug. All 3 mods have had the case cooling analyzer run & settings adjusted. The screenshots are of each mod using the same atomizer with the same build. All 3 mods are using the same settings for the screenshots: 75 watts, 405 degrees, 75 watt preheat, punch set to 5 for 1 second. The 200 seems to run great. I love the vape. Warm, dense, & flavorful. The 75's are weak. I can actually detect the wattage cutting in and out once temperature is reached. I notice the same difference regardless of atomizer. My builds are usually about the same so initially I chalked it up to the atomizer and just increased the temp. Today I decided to compare the mods w/the same atomizer. For the screenshots, I had Escribe puff the mod for 5 seconds. The 200 levels out around 40 watts & 3.6 volts. The 75's drop to between 9 to 17.5 watts and 1.6 to 2.4 volts. The atomizer's 510 and the mod's 510 have all been cleaned with alcohol prior to the screenshots being taken. The build is a dual, SS316L Clapton coil, 26/36, 7 wraps slightly spaced. .27 ohms.

I too am experiencing this same issue. Mod's resistance is not registering properly as before and coil resistance seems to be dropping lower than I know it to be then coming back up after sitting idle awhile. When using the copper resistance tool the mod shows 0 resistance. This was after the sp3 update.

See the attached. You'll need to change the file extension. Just delete the '.csv' off the end. My device works great with SS. I might question the atty even though you said it works great on your other device.... VT75.ecig.csv

I have that problem quite frequently too. Either restarting Escribe or the computer resolves the issue for me.

Not sure if 2amp charging was supposed to be implemented on the 200 boards but I am experiencing odd behavior regarding the battery meter. After rebooting the device it was displaying 0%. Left it over night on the charger and it was fine and displaying correctly in the morning. Today, after uploading setting changes, it's back to 0% although device monitor shows the pack at about 30%. Several soft reboots and still shows 0% on the device. Plugging into a 2 AMP charger and the device shows as charging at just under 1 AMP. This seems to have revived the battery meter also as it has moved up to 7% in about 15 minutes. That percentage appears to be accurately reflecting the battery level according to the device manager.

+1 like My devices work (mostly) fine & running an emulator doesn't bother me or my MacBooks. Native Mac support would be nice but, I'm fine without it.

Yea, I know but thanks Bill. Do that once for all 8 profiles and I think you'd agree, it's a PITA. It's especially a PITA for me because, I have all my DNA devices & profiles setup to the same material. So, if on a whim or whatever I decide to change the material, I have to change each profile one at a time on the device OR fire up a virtual machine then Escribe, then change each profile one at a time. It would be nice to be able to change the material in one stroke on the device AND/OR escribe. At least in escribe.

My DNA device profiles are setup with one material across all profiles. The difference in each profile being temp, wattage, and boost. It would be handy to be able to change only the material across all profiles at one time on the device itself. Right now I have to either change one profile at a time or plug into Escribe which for me means launching a virtual machine as I use a MacBook. Bit of a PITA... Is this possible? If not now, maybe in an update?

Meh... Maybe one day. I have 3 Hcigar VT200's & just bought an Hcigar VT75. I've been on a buying spree lately so, I shouldn't. I'll just recycle it. I love the 75 and the ability to change batteries of which I already have plenty, are cheap & are readily available locally.

I agree. It's just a shame that the other 2 cells are fine. I wish there was a way to revive the pack or recycle/re-purpose it.

Just bought one from Sweetvapes... A 'true' 1300mah Zippy is being sold on eBay for about the same price but that requires Dremeling out part of the device. I don't have a Dremel and the stock battery lasts all day for me so... Thanks for your help!

I thought so too. That sucks. I barley use this device. Evolv's already replaced the board. I just got it back a week or so ago. Now the pack is bad.... Gotta find that thread about Hcigar VT200 battery alternatives... I know it's here somewhere. Thanks

I would say yes. Even with low watts applied for 5 seconds, the cell in question drops immediately. This is image is 40 watts for 5 seconds:

So I have a device that I don't use much and was planning on storing it so, I wanted to discharge the lipo a bit. I plugged it into the device monitor and was pulsing in 30 second, 30 watt bursts. I started to see an "imbalanced battery" message and noticed that one cell held less voltage then the other 2. I allowed the battery to balance and tried pulsing again. The same cell drops immediately much lower than the other two. When I stop pulsing, the cell in question comes back up significantly but still well below the other 2. If I allow it to continue charging, the battery will eventually balance. I have 2 other identical DNA 200 devices that do not do this which makes me think I may have a bad battery cell. These devices are my only experience with lipo batteries so excuse me if I am missing something obvious. Battery with issue is the first image. Battery without is the second.

I had one go flaky on me the other week. Wouldn't respond until I plugged it into usb. Evolv repaired it free of charge. This is the second one that died on me. My brother's also suffered this issue. Evolv repaired it as well. Boards were replaced in two cases. The first one was exchanged with the retailer. I also dropped a different VT200 and an induction chip (that's what Evolv called it) broke free from the board. Evolv repaired it free too. I personally love Hcigar's mods with Evolv's chips. Build quality is great for the money and Evolv's support can't be beat. I own 3 Hcigar VT200's and just received a VT75 today. May have to get the VT133 too. Nah, that'd be overkill.....
