I wouldn't worry about it until a number of recharges has past. It normally disappears after the cells had some exercise.

Ok. Well it is better that it stays acting up when sending it in. As if it only acted up say only 1% of the time, they might return it saying there isn't anything wrong with it. Ok about only room for one 18650. I only see them on my huge computer screen. And everything I get ends up being a lot smaller than it looked on the screen. I generally stay away from lipo mods myself. As 18650 mods are just too convenient for me. Who knows, maybe my ERM will house a DNA75 too.

Maybe not. I noticed when lithiums sit around for awhile they tend to get like a little stiff (I am sure there is a better word for it). After a half a dozen of recharges it probably will be just fine once again.

Wow! That was quick. Now I won't look at my two VT133 the same anymore.

I don't know how long it can run the display? But if it gets low you can always charge it and then disconnect the battery once charged if you are not going to use it I guess. Did you start the RMA procedure yet?

[QUOTE=steamer861]I ordered another one myself I'm anticipating putting a DNA75 in it, with an 18650 battery sled I plan on modding the back cover with some magnets, I will be settling for only 75 watts but gaining the convince of a replaceable cell I don't regularly vape over 50 watts But really like the big watt preheat punch from the DNA200. I guess I will see how it works out with only a 75 watt board, when there available Sounds like a good idea. Do you think a dual 18650 battery sled would fit? You know two 18650 in parallel. [QUOTE=steamer861]Right now I'm going to try older Firmware to see if I could get it to operate normally, If not I will get in touch with Evolv to see If they will RMA it [/QUOTE] Nothing happened with older firmware, eh?

@steamer861: Wow that is an impressive collection! I love it! Anyway yes that voltage difference is strange and it might just straighten itself out after a number of recharges. Although if it only gets worse, then you have a problem. Btw, I did order one from Protovapor today. I did hold off on the DNA200 mod and lipo. I wanted to see the box and the 510 in my hands first to look things over before I order the rest of it.

You mean 0.2 and 0.5 volts difference right? Hopefully you really mean 0.02 and 0.05 volts different. The latter is a bit disturbing, but should be fine. The former 0.2 and 0.5 would be horrifying. And the DNA should be popping up the Imbalance error when you try to fire it. As far as EScribe... well just check the cell voltages and play around with the screen timing, percent of brightness, etc. Whenever you vape by the computer, run the Device Monitor and see if you can catch it when the screen lights up. Maybe it is firing for a tenth of a second or something. But it could be just waking up for no reason is what it looks like now. Nothing you can do about that really, as that is in the board. Might need to contact Protovapor or Evolv.

You know, that screen ribbon is attached to the board by a ZIF connector. If the latch became just a tad loose or the ribbon somehow got pulled a little, reseating it might clear it up. Although if the ribbon failed because it was being pitched my the fire button... well then you need a new screen.

I was hoping it would act up with some ridiculously low cell voltages like 3.2v or lower. But just barely under 4.1 per cell is a really problematic.

Oh... that is just under 4.10v per cell. Hmm... that wasn't what I was hoping for.

@wiredl0ve: I haven't taken my other VT133 apart yet (that one is in black). I hope that one is cleaner inside. At least the inside cover is painted. Oh if you get a Cisco 510 to fit, that would be very interesting indeed.

I would be very curious to know what the individual cell voltages are when it acts up. Oh Protovapor already did all of the cutouts? Oh that would save me a lot of time.

Let us know what voltage it starts acting up.

Yes, but you never catch it switching out of charging mode at anytime while charging right (unless you press one of the buttons of course)? Oh cool. You have to do all of the cutouts right? And has anybody tried their coffee?

While connected to EScribe, under the Themes tab, just pick one of the screens and select Capture. That shows you what is supposed to be on the screen right now. That way you can see what is going on with the DNA200. UPDATE: retird replied while I was typing. That is a good thing to do as well.

This might be hard to do, since you have to watch it. But if it is acting like a button is being pressed, it should also act the same way while charging. As it should jump out of charging screen to normal screen. By the way, where did you get that beautiful box?

Probably. Thanks!

I can't swear to it, but I believe you are suppose to run the test at around half charged. And the first part of the test is charging.

If you put in a watt hour value of 14Wh, that should be pretty close.

First thing I would try is sometimes one or more batteries doesn't seat correctly. And the DNA200 usually powers up, but will not fire.

Well readings from the daughter board isn't important unless the readings are incorrect on the DNA side.

Sorry here. /topic/67045-topic/

Sounds very similar to the previous problem. Troubleshooting would be the same.
