  1. This is one for the Europeans amongst us, I have noticed that the Hcigar vt200 has a CE mark on it. Now I am not so sure that mods fall under any of the categories that require CE approval. Is this just Hcigar bending the truth again (battery capacity) or is there a way of finding out which directive it is approved under? Probably won't get any responses to this question but thought this would be one of the best places to ask!

    yes my tank is at a different temp the mods are mirrored I have one of them copper plugs. I was hopping the software could tell it's warm

    That's the answer then, learn a bit of patience or pop it in the freezer compartment for a few minutes! It is different because you are 'effectively' putting a different coil in. If you took a vape on one device unscrewed the tank and then immediately screwed it back on the same device you would get exactly the same result

    Is anything in the works as far as the chip learning the coil faster. I'm using one tank between two mods ( while one is charging) and every time I switch between the two there's a bit of a learning curve for the chip to know what's going on. Both devices are mirrored by escribe. Is there a way to speed up the sample rate? Isn't it like 200 samples a second? And I'm also in the second camp of vapors :-)

    There are two other reasons this could be happening. 1. Your tank is at a different temp than when it was last put on the other device. Are you letting it cool down before swapping over? 2. Are both the devices mod resistance set correctly? If one or both are slightly out then you would also get these symptoms, especially if you are using low resistance coils. The lower you go the more important mod resistance accuracy is.
  4. From the way you are asking, I don't think you will like the answer:- Cut off the old connector, cut off the black heat shrink wrapping, desolder the old wire from the plug, put heat shrink over new wires, cut new wires to length (one at a time!) Strip insulation from new wires and solder to old plug, slide heat shrink up and heat till formed. And you are done! Or you can get a new connector and solder that on.

    No, my VaporShark is working the same as when I bought it. Which means that when I switch between RTAs (which I do frequently to avoid olfactory fatigue), I do the change temperature ritual frequently. My primary hope for an update is the ability to adjust temperature from the "main screen" while in TC mode.



    This is possible in my test version.
    I am however a bit curious: if you are doing this when you switch atomizers, why not use a profile for each atomizer?
    James, you say "this is possible in my test version" Does this mean that you have a firmware/software version that you are testing that allows temp as the primary adjustment value? ( and smaller increments I hope!!!)

    Don't forget there is a fundamental difference between the way some people view temperature control and the way Evolv view it. A lot of users see TC as a way of controlling the intensity or heat of the vape and want to be continually adjusting the temp, whereas Evolve see it as true temperature protection, a way to stop you burning your cotton and avoiding dry hits. If you look at it from the manufacturers perspective there is no need to be continually adjusting temperature, it's pretty much set and forget.

    Not sure where you got that from as I have not seen anything like that from evolv officially (unless you are from evolv maybe) I am talking as a self coil building dripper only vaper. And I have found that particularly with Ti and Ss there is a while to 'break in coils' So ythe perfect vape with a ss 317 coil with the steam engine tcr is attained at about 330 f initially but throughout the day the temp required to get the same vape increases gradually until it settles down around 400-420. So yes temp control is a must for me. And with regards to your assumption maybe if that were the case they would have marketed the dna200 as 'dry burn protection ' rather than temperature control...... Just my thoughts

    I need some help hear. I am not new to temp control. but I keep getting burnt cotton. I am using 24 guage nickle sigle coild, in a plume on the wismec. Right now I ahave 3.5mm wraped 8 times ohm 0.06, 75 watts 415 degrees. Dry burn is fine, but as soon as juice hits it, burn and burn taste. I have tried different sizes .2.5, 3 mm no luck. any ideas?



    I would check that your mod resistance has been set correctly in escribe. it should be between 0.002-0.01 ohms.

    this matters much more if you are going super sub ohm like you are. if it should be set at for example 0.006 and your coil comes out at 0.06 that could be a 10% error.

    if you are not happy setting or measuring the mods resistance, try the temp at 350 degrees and work it up slowly till you get the vape you want.

    Also make sure your coils are spaced with nickel.

    if you can get hold of any finer nickel wire that might help or try to get more coils in (problem being more coils are more difficult to keep spaced especially in a plume)

    As long as it takest.. there's only so much we can customise with a device and adding too much at once would be boring wouldn't it?? If they rush into a new update and everyone downloads it and there's something wrong then people aren't going to be happy are they.. I'd rather it be perfect wouldn't you? Id imagine the next update will be soon, if it's an official update (more likely) or an early one only the guys at evolv know.. (Who are just settling in at a new warehouse).. Just be patient, moaning about it isn't going to make it any faster..



    to be honest I would prefer smaller updates dealing with one issue at a time. At least if there is a problem or bug it will be easy to narrow down the issue. 
    if there are bugs with an update that addresses a number of issues it could be difficult to diagnose whether it is an individual component of the update or a combination of issues making the problem.

    just my thoughts!
  10. I think this subject has drawn out long enough, if evolv do not implement it in the next update I feel it will be a wasted opportunity. I will try my hardest not toget dragged into this topic again. I just find it odd how someone asks for a fairly simple change in the way the device can be used. Which I think is a fair enough request as per most of the other software/firmware requests. And this particular subject gets responses from "you are doing it wrong, " "you should use wattage not temp for adjusting the vape" " temp does flavour wattage does vapour" Well I have tried both ways on four different 'temp control devices,.... And I know which way I prefer to change my vape experience

  11. Lol I thought VB would join in, I agreed with you yesterday regarding temperature needing to be in smaller increments. But I know you are in the power adjustable vape camp! If you were to try one of the temp control devices that have the temp interface as the main you will see what every poster that has requested this is going on about. After all the DNA 200 is primarily marketed as a temp control device, not a VW device

    It takes about 15s to change the temp so is hardly much of an inconvenience.

    I understand why this is a desirable feature for many. I'm a temp limiting vaper but think this should be incorporated as an option.

    Really? Wattage example Anemic vape Hold to unlock power Increase watts puff ..bit more Increase watts puff little bit too much Lower watts .. Perfect Hold to lock power Temp example Anemic vape Lock device Hold to set temp Increase temp Unlock device Puff .. Bit more Lock device Hold to set temp Increase temp Unlock device Puff Little bit too much Lock device Hold to set temp Lower temp Unlock device Puff ..., mm mm tastes like it would be perfect in between this and the higher one ( about 5 degrees more! Drives home Turns on laptop Signs in Opens escribe Connects device Changes temp on escribe by +5 degrees Puff ... Perfect So scooby, maybe I have gone to extremes here but my point is yes, to change it once is 15 seconds but how often do you adjust a setting and it is perfect the first time! It is a shame that the best temperature control device on the market is set up to adjust power as the default! Almost as if the temp control was a second thought!
  13. Noticed something strange regarding the warranty service message. I have two Dna200 mods, hcigar vt200 and diy 3x18650. Both working fine, then last week plugged in the diy mod using the hcigar lead and warranty service message came up! Great I thought another rma to America. Then I plugged the hcigar into the same lead and that too showed warranty service. So, the lead went into the bin and I tried another lead ....... So far no warranty service message and both mods are working as they should. Touch wood! So if you get this message try a different lead first. Not sure if evolve could expand why this could be happening as the vt200 lead seems quite substantial compared to most ( just too short) And many of these warranty service issues could be solved just with a change of lead
