I had one die after only one day of use. Was fortunate enough to get an exchange and the replacement has been in service exclusively for about 2 weeks.

The spec sheet clearly states that the typical input power is 9 amps & the minimum is .5 which would be inline with most phone chargers. I think many people would use a phone charger since they have one. I specifically purchased higher amp charger(S) for the device only to learn/discover that it does not charge over 1 amp. Why can a device that outputs this much power and has such a large battery as an obvious requirement not charge above 1 amp? An iPad can handle 2 amps... I've watched a few reviews of devices containing the DNA 200 with the reviewers stating the same so, if I am misunderstanding the spec sheet, I am not the only one... Clarification form the chip manufacturer would be nice... and appreciated.

I too am experiencing this issue although I cannot seem to determine a pattern. Not sure if the device is rebooting or simply waking from sleep. I may go hours without using the device and it fires immediately. Other times after as little as 30 minutes of being idle, the device displays the welcome screens as you described. The device also does not always seem to recognize when a new coil is present. Sometimes it does, other times it does not. This also seems to be very random...

I do not know much about charging & electricity so hopefully someone will enlighten me: Why does the DNA spec sheet state that the device can charge up to 23 amps while typical is 9 yet Brandon states that 1 is the default and the max?

I too am experiencing this problem although it did not occur as a result of a possible short. The first time my Hcigar VT200 shut off with no warning and did not come back on for several minutes after plugging into power. Now, the device shuts of at least once a day and will come back immediately after plugging in. It also does not always recognize when a coil change has occurred. I am returning this unit in exchange for a replacement. In case of future failures with the replacement, how does one go about submitting a ticket? Thank you!
