    Much better and consistent with what others are reporting. 

    Yeah, gives me a bit more confidence in DJLSB's 0.0016 preset. Now that I'm managing 4 different SMY SDNA75's, I'm going to use 0.002 on all of them, even though one read at 0.003. This way if I want to change any other mod settings, I'm only dealing with a single Escibe file, not four. I'll have to trust his case settings as doing those tests requires some good heat sinks, ones I never bothered buying.

    It worked fine on my VS DNA 200, as well as Nick's. No problems charging at all. What are your cell voltages at, and your USB voltage? Of course if your batteries are nearly full, the charge will not be at 2A.

    Hmm. What kind of chargers are you using? I am using an Aukey Quick Charge 3.0 single port and the charge port on a 7-port Anker USB hub.

    First clue is I did not change anything other then updating Escribe to v1.2, and then the DNA200 firmware. Same iPad 2.1 amp charger and 2 amp capable USB cable wire. Then swapped out charger and cable same results. To answer the other questions. In Escribe: All 3 lipos show 3.97 volts TOTAL PACK = 11.92 volts 7.5 WH CHARGE: 74% No matter what charge was showing on VaporShark in the past, the AMP reading was always rock steady and accurate.

    Did the upgrade to 1.2 on my VS DNA200. Maybe someone can confirm this ODD behavior. Plugged in to charge. One of my on screen settings is to see "USB CURRENT", normally shows close to the 2 amp charge I get with my iPad wall charger. This field is now showing low numbers, constantly changing, charging is SLOW. I didn't change the setting, before update, it shows AMPS being delivered by the USB connection. It was a steady number like 1.96 amps. Now this field is showing numbers constantly changing, none close to 2 amps. I've done 2 soft resets, tested with two different chargers and cables. This may be a BUG! Take a look at yours, if you use the USB CURRENT screen setting while charging, which is one of the choices you really should be using!

    so 0.006 for the nano guys?  also post up your case analyzer values if you have them it's gonna be a bit before I can test mine but will put it up when i do.. 
    specify battery also

    I left those as they came. DJSLB set those up, hopefully they are accurate. Those tests are the hardest to requiring some special heat sinks. If you have them, would love to see your results.

    These SMA SDNA75 devices were setup software wise by DJLSB, a very knowledgeable reviewer. They come with wire presets, that I have since changed. However he did include device resistance settings. I can't confirm the case thermal numbers as I have not run those tests. The only one I can test is the the main device resistance in "Atomizer Analizer", using the solid cooper 510 plug that was sold through a member on this forum, look in the DNA200 thread. You first set the resistance to ZERO, upload the settings back to the device, then run the test. The original value that has been preset on the device was: 0.0016 My test showed 0.002 on 3 of them, and 0.003 on the 4th. This under Escribe version 1.2 There are other ways to short the 510, if you don't have this custom copper plug. Feel free to add your results to this thread.

  13. USB current while charging

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Wasted a lot of my time on this. Very few of the options you can choose "when charging" make sense to me. Like "ohms", since I'm CHARGING, why would I care to see ohms, I can see the ohms of an attached atomizer by clicking the fire button. OK, we now KNOW the more useful option of seeing the USB current is NOT AVAILABLE, as it is on the DNA200, and yes it would be just as useful to see on a DNA75 device as many chargers are not 1-amp chargers, and even if you know and use the right wall charger, many USB cables often don't deliver the proper current. Seeing this information directly on the device would be helpful. Many don't have separate devices to test USB cables and chargers as I do. So looking at what is available for the three on screen slots when CHARGING, I use: BATTERY PERCENTAGE BATTERY VOLTAGE But don't see any other choice that is useful, so for now I made the third choice: "ROOM TEMPERATURE", just for lack of a more useful option! Anyone have a BETTER idea for the 3rd choice? If so what would you suggest and why? THANKS!

  16. How to see set wattage on TC screen

    in EScribe, Software and Firmware

    Posted

    Nah, you are well RESPECTED! At least in my book. :) It's something they should consider improving. Since the latest versions of Escribe know you set it for temp dominant, the software should allow you to select wattage in the drop down menu for that field. It's just logical. I'll go beyond saying its counterintuitive, and say it's incomplete code, not a bug, but certainly could be smarter. I've had to spend a lot of time rebuilding my settings from my DNA200, to the new SMY DNA75. At first I thought I cheat and load the 200 profile in, but all the mods settings for the electric parts, mod resistance etc. are different, as well as new settings for the LED button light etc. The good news was you can open two different setting screens in Escribe, side by side, and duplicate the fields you want. You still have to load custom screens etc. and I'm now glad I didn't get too crazy modifying all the 200 screens. Thanks for your help as always!

  18. How to see set wattage on TC screen

    in EScribe, Software and Firmware

    Posted

    With my new SMY DNA75, I am trying to duplicate most of the settings I have on my DNA200. On the mods main screen while in TC mode I like to see: ON RIGHT: TEMPERTURE ON LEFT COLUMNS: OHMS "material" WATTAGE In Escribe settings for the 75, I can't seem to find the "wattage" setting in the drop down menu. I like to set temp dominant, but it's nice to see the set watts as well on the main screen. Works that way on the 200. What am I missing? Thanks!

  21. DNA 75 software

    in EScribe, Software and Firmware

    Posted

    For my DNA200, I'm running "2016-02-29 EScribe 1.0.42". This was the last test version, running well. With my SMY DNA75 coming, I wanted to install the latest version of ESCRIBE, that works with both the 200's, and 75's. "MikePetro" says: "However, make sure you are not running the DNA200 2016-04-25 firmware (which was beta FW). If you are then please roll back to the 2016-02-23 firmware. The most recent "released" version of DNA200 FW you that you should run is 2016-02-23". Wondering if I can install the latest Escribe DNA75 version "1.0.56", OVER my current "1.0.42" version, and NOT lose my previous settings, or is it absolutely necessary to roll back further to the older "2016-02-23"? Or am I confusing Escribe versions and firmware versions? Confused!

  22. RDA retaining heat possible source of base resistance climbing?

    in General Discussion

    Only thing that has worked for me is to make the Kayfun's 510 screw/pin SUPER TIGHT! It's been over 24 hours, including an overnight were the VS DNA200 was asleep, still holding ohms and has not drifted even 0.01 ohm. Still don't get accurate readings on my CoilMaster 521 Tab, I believe on that ohm reader/coil building station, the female 510 is a bit too low for the SHORT 510 pin on the Kayfun v5.

    i use one of these on my eleaf pico to let me use 25 mm tanks. it's not all that great for TC builds. if it's bumped hard or turned just a hair, kiss your stable connection goodbye. at least that's how mine performs. works best for plain old kanthal/non TC builds. that's my experience with these 510 heat sinks. 

    I believe he was just suggesting it to see if I was making a good connection as my Kayfun has the shortest 510 pin of every atty I own, that in conjunction with my low VS DNA200 female 510, is not ideal. Hopefully what I did in the post above is the cure. SUPER TIGHT on the Kayfun 5, bottom 510 pin. As a side note, when I first received my VS, most of my attys, like stock Kanger SubTank mini's, etc, were NOT sitting flush, the worse one was my Morph tank. I had read of others with the same issue, so since it was under warranty, I returned it to VS, along with the Morph base, asking them to make it fit flush. When I got it back, everything was flush. Now I'm wondering how they did it? Since it's no longer under warranty and this ohm issue was making me crazy, I opened the VS up myself. A YouTube video showed how easy it was, 3 screws. BUT, unless they changed 510 parts, I see no way to raise it up, there are no adjustment points, the wire and caps just thread together, and the 510 block sits in a slot. Guess I'll have to call VS to find out. Seeing as I do see a connection, perhaps it's just enough.

    Perhaps one of these or a 510 to 510 adapter would help you test your theory.
    [2640000-2]
    I     believe your theory is a pretty good one, I doubt if locking the ohms will do good enough, a poor connection is just that....poor

    All I have so far is a 510/510 adapter, didn't help, those threads are short as well. Before totally losing my mind, I remember days a go I took the 510 pin/screw out of the bottom of the Kayfun v5, on this new model, all it does is hold in a bottom plate/cap. Put it back, and the ohms were good for awhile, then slowly began creeping up again. So I dismissed that as the problem, and went on to measuring 510 lengths thinking it had to be that. So after my first post earlier in this thread, I thought I'd take it off again to see if there was any juice under the bottom plate, nothing, and the 510 pin "seemed" tight. This time I made it really TIGHT, It does not have a lot of threading, non adjustable, but enough to hold the bottom plate/cap in place and of course make the positive connection. So far, after making the Atty 510 pin/screw SUPER TIGHT, the VS DNA200 is once again reading the proper ohms. It crept up from 27 to 28 ohms, which could be "refinement". Perhaps the flathead screw slot on the attys 510 pin is getting backed out a tiny bit whening screwing on and off devices. I'll reserve judgement until I see no ohm drifting for a few days. I'm praying this is the issue as after opening the VS, which is quite easy, I see no way to adjust the height of the mods spring loaded 510 pin. BTW: Totally agree on not locking the ohms on a DNA200 if at all possible. If one really has an ohm or connection issue, it seems that with locked ohms, the problem could be disguised from the user. Thanks dwcraig1, you have always been helpful.

    I'm having a difficult time myself, with ohm creeping. First time I've ever had the issue on my VaporShark DNA200. I do single coil titanium builds, on many tanks. I have NEVER had to "lock ohms", better to let the DNA200 handle "refinement". Besides if your cold readings are off to start, locking ohms would be pointless. My first problems came with my new Kayfun v5. My build is rock solid at .28 ohms. I see proper ohm readings on 4 other mods. I've seen it at 28 ohms a few times on the K5, then it slowly starts to climb. Since the K5 reads properly on the other mods, and all my other tanks work fine on the VS, I don't get proper readings on the CoilMaster 521 Tab either. I started to take caliper measurements on some of my tanks, as well as the mods 510 connections. So far the Kayfun v5 has the shortest 510 of all my atties, and both the CoilMaster Tab, and the VaporShark, have the deepest 510 connectors. I'm thinking the connection point is just barely meeting. This is the only thing that makes sense to me at this point. BUT, I'm not 100% sure as I do get a reading on the VS and CM, and I can fire and Vape on the VS. I opened up the VS, but there is no way to adjust the 510 pin higher. And the new Kayfun v5 does NOT have an adjustable 510. So I may have to start "locking ohms" on the VS, assuming I see the correct ohms when the Atty is cold.
