Sounds like the DNA200 board has a blown fuse.

Thanks to Steve (Wingsfan0310) for creating the case analyzer part. Case Cooling Time Constant: 356.58 Case Heating Time Constant: 429.86 Case USB Charge Temperature Rise: 6.39ºF + 17.62ºF/A Minimum Ambient Temperature: -20ºF Maximum Ambient Temperature 110ºF

I only got that to work if you have it set for Power Dominant.

I dunno for sure. I don't have any measurements. If you were going to buy another DNA200 with more capacity, what about the Lost Vape Triade? That holds whatever mah the 18650 you choose goes up to, like 3000mah.

I don't know how you would get anything that big to fit without a new box.

Umm Sajen... it is questionable trying to get a 3S 1300mah pack into your Lost Vape Efusion DNA200. And I could tell you there is no hope of getting a 3S 4000mah lipo to fit in there.

Here's another two. USE COUPON CODE ILOVEYOU OR VJC TO BRING THE TOTAL TO $83.60.

"random5" works or at least did.

Yes I felt the same way as you. Although after I got my first VT133, I got two more.

ecig.com is selling the HCigar VT133 for $88 ($83.60 with coupon) with free shipping. http://www.ecig.com/hcigar-vt133-200w-dna-box-mod.html

You're just purchasing another screen, right?

First use the "Connect and Download Settings" button. Then do a File -> Save your device configuration first to the drive before continuing: 1) Tools -> Reboot Device -> Soft reboot 2) Tools -> Reboot Device -> Hard reboot 3) Tools -> Update Firmware Try each of the above and check to see if it corrects the issue. If you want to see what is happening on the screen at anytime, using the Theme tab, pick one and click the capture button. You can do this at anytime to see what the screen is currently trying to display. If none of the above works, the display ribbon is loose or damaged. What mod is this by the way? UPDATE: Oh good! CB is here.

I can't think of anything else to try except try (save your device configuration first to the drive before continuing): 1) Tools -> Reboot Device -> Soft reboot 2) Tools -> Reboot Device -> Hard reboot 3) Tools -> Update Firmware Try each of the above and check to see if it is now charging (if you didn't already). And what firmware version are you running on your HCigar VT200 anyway?

Nope mine doesn't either on my four DNA200. But it wouldn't surprise me that some do. Could be firmware dependent too.

Yes those specs are fine. But not all manufactures state the true specs, as some of them over-exaggerate.

Yes that is what happens with less than 3 batteries. It will work with two batteries (133 watts max), but you must use a dummy cell for the third cell (back right). And configure EScribe to use two cells and then upload it to your mod.

You know if one of my DNA200 was acting just like yours, The first thing I would check to see what battery type EScribe says it is configured for (Mod tab, Manufacture Settings, Battery Type -> Lithium Polymer).

Yeah I am not a big fan of lipos myself. I have lipos in dozens of things and I just don't care much for them. Oh sure there are people that like them and there are some great things about them and all. So if I could avoid a lipo and go the easy to swap and charge externally 18650s, I'm going there. But if you like lipos better, by all means go that route. What is important is what you want after all.

The HCigar VT133 is using the same DNA200 board, with the same USB jack, with the same USB built in charger. That part is all of the same. Lost Vape efusion duo has a nicer box with more options plus the lipo option (the HCigar VT133 does not have an lipo option [but just a little modification it could]). They should be about the same size, but I haven't seen both of them together.

HCigar VT133 is like the Lost Vape efusion duo, except it doesn't have the lipo option and it is only $88 at ecig.com right now ($83.60 with a coupon) and free ship. And if you are handy at modding, you could make a lipo an option with it too.

Well you have to swap the sled and lipo. But you also have to change between 2 cell or 3 cell mode through the EScribe program.

Cell 1 should be battery 1 voltage and cell 2 is battery 2 voltage (both should read almost if not the same or the DNA200 will turn off) and the pack should be the two added together. Cell 3... well there isn't a battery 3 and normally it should read 0v. But one of mine floats around between 0.50v to 1.10v. I could fix it, but I don't think it is actually affecting or hurting anything. So I have left it alone.

Yes I know, but EScribe's Device Monitor will display the cells voltages as well as the pack voltage. It is acting like it isn't happy with one or more of them. So I would like to know what voltages it says they are. If they are fine, maybe it got configured to a 3 cell when it is supposed to be a 2 cell.
