Balance charging is slow. I would give it more time and as long as that low cell keeps climbing, it just needs time. Once they get all back in balance, it should perform like it once did.

EScribe Device Monitor (button) Diagnostics Advanced Perform USB Recovery Charging

Are you sure? Some lithium chargers (the better ones) usually start out slow with the current and build up to max current. I have seen some take up to 10 minutes or more to reach to this point. This is supposed to prolong the life of the cells. Now I haven't seen any lithium chargers supply max current all the way up to full charge. You say yours does? The only way that could happen is to apply far more than 4.20v per cell. As lithium chargers generally work by constant current (CC) mode first and switch over to constant voltage (CV) mode (4.20v) once the charger's voltage is putting out 4.20v. Then once the current drops below 100ma, the charger should stop. As it is said that lithium cells doesn't like being held at 4.20v. This is how yours is actually working, right?

I emailed them 8 days ago and I haven't heard a thing.

Well I don't see anything to do except to contact the vendor to get it replaced. Either that or Think Vape or open a ticket with Evolv. It would be interesting to know the cell voltages and what the graph looks like under EScribe's Device Monitor while firing and one while not firing to see if it thinks the fire button is being pressed down.

Just make sure it isn't denatured alcohol. As that can eat electronics and plastics.

I've been experimenting with my seven DNA200 and always locking the resistance works great. I mean locking it and always keep it locked unless you change the build. I just started playing around with 5 clicks to lock and that seems to always remember that it is locked when you swap batteries. I haven't experimented whether it helps with remembering ohms or not yet.

And you can see the wattage drop on the display or you can tell that the wattage drops by the vape? Can you post a snapshot from the Device Monitor showing the pack voltage, power, voltage, and live ohms while it is firing?

What kind of coils are you running there? Kanthal? And what kind of wattage are we talking about? It almost sounds like you are running temperature control coils.

Looks awesome!

Oh I think they are going to have to fix this for real. Anyway I know if you always lock the resistance and leave it there, it remembers just fine. Changing through EScribe probably works too, since it saves it to the memory. But if you do that, all you need is USB power while changing the batteries and it never turns off that way too.

Yeah if you do it just before the battery swap, it doesn't do it for me either. You have to do it a bit earlier and use it for awhile. Then swap batteries and then it remembers.

I lock the resistance my HCigar VT133s, Reuleaux DNA200s, and Lost Vape Triade mods before I swap batteries and it seems to help a lot. Of course unlock once you swap the batteries.

Yes Vambo, I too have one DNA that drains one cell too. So I know it happens. I suppose you could open a ticket with Evolv. But heard that VS customer service is really great too.

Only one thing left Zrat, open a ticket with Evolv. http://helpdesk.evolvapor.com/index.php?a=add You could try with Wismec support too if it is within the warranty. But I never heard of one single case of that doing any good.

I don't know BL. I'm mobile too, but on a Windows 8 tablet. The link for common problems is: /topic/65791-topic/

Because I thought you knew they were not non-TC Claptons. Plus Firefox wouldn't let me in for the past 12 hours. Error 400: Header or cookie too long. Turned out the cookie was too long.

Oh sorry, I must have read it was the fuse in another thread.

Well if it is the fuse, you know how that goes. Sometimes they just blow for no reason. The middle of last year, Evolv got a batch of fuses that didn't hold up well and that didn't help matters either. If you own meter, you can check to see if it is open. If you can solder small pads, you can replace it too.

How do you know those are non-temperature control Claptons? Just curious. As I run some Ni200 Claptons in my RBAs and RTAs.

Yup, the DNA200 board is bad. Time to contact VS.
