  5. Please Fix DNA 60 Small Screen Fonts and Icon Battery

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Umm @krmatw, the pixel count is really small on the small screen. Not a lot you can program to make it easier to read. The only thing to really make it better is a higher pixel screen. But everyone who wants it on their small screen DNA60 would have to replace their screens (if they even exist) with a firmware update. Are you willing to replace your screen? And how many others would? Like maybe just 6 people? That would be very costly for Evolv. Maybe it would cost Evolv like 5 grand extra for each of you for developing the firmware.

    Second question is that I can't think of a single DNA60 mod sold with a small screen. Can you think of any? The only use I could think of for DNA60 small screen is to replace a DNA40 small screen mod with a DNA60. Is this what you have? I have three DNA40 small screen mods myself that I purchased three DNA60 small screen boards for. I haven't replaced any of them yet, but it is on my to do list. But they are a very low priority for me, so maybe never. I just don't use them enough to make it worthwhile.

    So what are your thoughts and ideas?

  8. Weird battery issues with DNA250C

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Are you firing to make those spikes? Or is this from just sitting there?

    There is a tiny pin when you open the battery door that springs up and down. Make sure it isn't stuck down. Then I would clean the battery contacts with alcohol and make sure it is dry and try it again. I don't have much hope that will take care of it. But it is the first thing to do.

  15. Anyone USB charge their triple 18650 DNA250c?

    I have two ThinkVape Finder 250C mods. One is still in the box with the wrap I think. The other the positive battery pack wire was pinched when ThinkVape assembled it. And it worked for about 3 hours and the insulation cut away and shorted. Caused the 3 cells to quickly heat up. One reason why I love mods that you can quickly eject the batteries for this very reason. Frankly, I don't trust those Think Vape Finder mods.

    My 3 Lost Vapes Triade 250C are still rocking like new. They have no problems charging or vaping.

    I don't think I have seen any new 3 cell DNA250C mods in a few years. I guess it was just a fad for awhile. For long battery life, they switched to dual 21700 DNA250C mods. The battery last almost as long as a three 18650 cell DNA250C mods (each cell has more capacity vs. 18650), except are only 200 watts.

    There is a Boxer Mod Classic DNA250C 1300mAh LiPo ($360) that can go up to 400 watts. But it won't give you as much battery life. Then you have to find another lipo when that one needs replacing.

  16. Help with Kennedy Box Mod, DIsplay always says off.

    It is in temperature mode (TC) and the temperature is set to off, or it automatically kicked itself off when it sensed a non temperature material (coil). If you are using non-TC coil, you need to switch to wattage or aka power mode profile. This button command list I written for the DNA200, but it applies to most non-color DNAs including the DNA250.

    DNA200 OPERATIONAL MANUAL

    MAIN

    Up/Down (5 sec) lock wattage or temp (Temp-Dominant dependent)
    Up/Down (5 sec) then twice Up (or Down) to change Profile

    LOCK (5 clicks)

    Up/Down (5 sec) adjusts temp or wattage (Temp-Dominant dependent)
    Fire/Up (5 sec) lock ohms
    Fire/Dn (5 sec) Stealth/Normal
    Fire/UD (5 sec) Change Material

     

  19. DNA 100c - Max Output Current & Watts

    in EScribe, Software and Firmware

    Posted

    It is my understanding is with the DNA 100C, 100 watts is it. Whether it is continuous and/or boost.

    Even with a fully charged battery and say under a 30A load, the battery sag never drops below 4.0v. That means the battery can deliver 120 watts (30A * 4v). But the board will still not deliver more than 100 watts. And remember there is a fuse on the board. If you exceed the current rating it will blow. So that is another problem. Just because the battery can handle more than 100 watts, doesn't mean everything else can.

  20. Yet another Bricked MOD. Will not turn on, USB plug sometimes wakes it up..

    You are referring to your ThinkVape Finder 250c, right? Did you try connecting to EScribe without the batteries installed? One of my ThinkVape Finder 250c, the positive of the battery pack was pinched and after 3 hours of use, the wire shorted to ground (the batteries must have added just enough pressure on the insulation). I'm glad I noticed the batteries getting hot and I ejected them right away. The thickness of their wiring is too thin IMHO. So I wouldn't be surprised if there was an open or heaven forbid a short in the wiring. But I would check to see if EScribe sees it without batteries first.

  22. Replacement USB board for DNA40 (Large Screen).

    Sounds like you are looking for one of these.

    Evolv 1A Micro-USB Data/Charging Board

    https://www.protovapor.com/product/evolv-1a-micro-usb-datacharging-board/

    Unfortunately Protovapor is out of stock. But this is what you might be looking for. They do have the DNA60 board in stock that does come with the charging board if you want to go that route.
