  1. https://forum.evolvapor.com/topic/72032-what-is-boost-and-warmth/#comment-939702

    The coil has a certain sluggishness when heated - the thicker (and lower resistance), the more sluggish. You need more power to reach the target temperature than to maintain it. With "boost" you provide more power for a short moment at the beginning of the puff. Problem: If you set a value that is too high, an already heated coil can quickly burn the cotton.

    If you finally press "Save" in Replay mode after several puffs, it may be that the previously set power is not sufficient to heat up a cold coil to the saved temperature (or the saved resistance value during the puff) right away with the first puff . With "warmth" you allow the mod to deliver more power. Problem: If you set a value that is too high, the coil will quickly burn your cotton.

    Don't be confused if I keep talking about temperature, although "only" wattage is used - it's always about heating the coil to a certain temperature, even if this isn't the direct control factor. The replay mode is based on the change in resistance of the coil, which is why it can only work with temperature-sensitive coils.

    With "boost" and with "warmth" the increment (1 to 11) depends on the underlying performance. i.e. with more output power, each increment means more power plus than with a lower output power.

    "Preheat" is a special form for temperature-sensitive coils (e.g. SS316): this function is similar to "boost", but has some peculiarities, which I would go into separately if necessary. Here, custom themes open up wide (theoretical) possibilities, which are often misunderstood.

  2. They have quad 2x700 mods, but they are mech mods without a board. They are also called Hammer of God. The one with the DNA250C board has a DNA400C after the name. Yes, misleading, but you get the idea.

    If dropped... its a hunk of aluminum. I never dropped my two, but I would think they would be able to take a lot of abuse. There is really nothing I see that would break or anything. Maybe the plastic window over the screen if it was hit just right. Otherwise there is really nothing.

  3. How about a quad 18650? The Hammer of God (HOG) DNA400C uses a DNA250C with an output of 400 watts (with capable cells). They only make a small batch at a time. So if everyone is out of stock, they will usually do another run in a month or two. Be warned, with batteries they weigh about a pound. They are almost all aluminum. I own two of them and I never had a problem with either.

  4. You want the square (not rectangle) BQ76925 24 pin IC. You are very unlikely find a RGER or a RGET after it. Since that was just for that particular production run. And that one the charging failed! So why would you want one from the same production run? As another one from the same run may likely fail the same fate.

    I saw online that there are many types of that chip. I think i can see  BQ76925 TI [something unreadable] AXH4 on it but i am not sure. 

    What do you think about the new values of USB power and current? Do you think it could be something other than the chip? 

    The AXH4 stuff is version, lot, etc numbers. So those are not important as far as replacement.

    The new values of USB power and current is what I would expect from the older firmware. And yes, I do think it is a failed chip.

  6. That 24 pin (6 pins on each side) square chip right above the USB is the Battery Management IC and is a BQ76925 I think. It controls charging and battery management functions. But if the firmware has it set to not charge, it won't.

    But I would try an earlier firmware version before I would even be thinking of replacing that chip. I hadn't heard any newer firmware incompatibly problems with older board revisions, but who knows. And you can check this in seconds.

    None of the standard materials (wire) we use experience a decrease in electrical resistance when their temperature is risen. None at steam-engine either.
    Do you have a datasheet for that product showing either its electrical properties or mechanical properties, showing that decreasing TCR?

    OR Just open a Help Desk ticket and ask. Link in my signature line.

    Yes, that is correct.

    Opening up a ticket is the way to go here. As only a firmware update will correct this.
