  1. Preheat in Kanthal - It Works!

    The you may have to lock the ohms on the device as well...I have never locked my ohms because I use TC...If you read the previous post in this thread, you would have seen that others had that 1 time issue, but after a couple of times it started working fine. The preheat in the DNA device is designed for TC & this is just a way around that...are you building coils or using OEM coils?



    Yeah that is an easy problem. But I am building my own coils which means I need to repeat this procedure everytime I change the coil :(

    Yes...you always have to upload to device to get the new settings onto the device....if you are seeing the temp on the graph...then you should have it..locking the ohms in Escribe & then uploading to the device should lock it



    I have started to try that no luck so far but I have realized that after the first fire ressistance returns to its actual value instead of the value I have overwritten locked and uploaded, So this means even if I have found the right value I only works once. Also this is a very painful process to go over after each coil change.. Is there really no easy way to use preheat on Kanthal????

    Ok..you are going to have to tweak your cold ohms until it works...this is what I meant by playing with it...open the Atomizer Analyzer...note what your coil is reading...click on 'Override Ohms'...enter a value either slightly higher or lower...then click on 'Lock Ohms'...your cold ohms are at 1.27, so try 1.28...if not working, try 1.29...then 1.3...if after a few tries raising the ohms & no luck, then try lower them...be sure to lock the ohms each time so the chip doesn't pick the actually cold ohms again....it may take you awhile to figure whether you need to raise or lower your ohms...but eventually you should feel the preheat...also, turn the temperature in the preheat settings up to about 500 or so. If it is to low, the chip will think your coil is already at temp.



    After manually adjusting resistance and locking it do I need to upload settings to device? And then Do I need to lock resistance on device? If I see that the graph shows real temperature this means that I have finally achieved it right? :D

    I own several non-DNA devices & was tired of the constant pulsing when in TC mode. Some more than others. I now own several DNA devices & use SS 316L almost exclusively. Absolutely enjoy the vape experience. Non-DNA devices are more a one size fits all kind of thing & the DNA devices have to be fined tuned to ones own personal preferences. What works for one person will probably not work for another. There is a learning curve to using the DNA. There is a lot of great info here on the forum that will answer a lot of your question & help to point you in the right direction!!



    Clearly not for Kanthal users.....

    You can use à SS wire that can be used in both watt and TC. Kanthal is not a TC wire. You can setup preheat as explained further below in another thread I just answered. There is a philosophy behind a DNA chip which explains why there is not a preheat functionality in the chip. If you search through the forum there is a thread talking about this. The DNA is a great chip, surely the best on the market that renders great flavour better than any other chip I have used (subjective statement based on my personal taste). Mind you, yihi chip I have not tried but only tested the TC on it from a friend and I do not like the "pulsing" it created while firing in TC mode. HTH, Joel.



    I have read all of it and disabling preheat is not a precaution I can still set a 2 ohm kanthal wire to 167 watt and burn my throat or some crazy stuff like that to harm my self.. But I can not give 15watts for 0.4 secs to a 1.2 ohm wire which I use on 10W. there is no logical explanation behind this silly limitation. On developer manufacturer mode you can make more dangerous adjustments but restricting preheat on kanthal??? I am sorry but that is just a poor excuse..

    SS wire has a too low resistance for me. I am a MTL person and I need resistances around 1.25 ohm. Also even limit SS temperature on TC mode I really do not want to have Ni in my coil :(

    Hi...Kanthal is normally NOT a temperature control wire...however there is a way to cheat & get the preheat function to work with Kanthal...go back to the very first post in this thread...download the kanthal_preheat.ecigprofile...load it into one of the proiles in your device & you should be able to set up preheat for Kanthal...

    I've tried it and it's not working :( My decice is on SP5 firmware does it affect it? Please help me to activate preheat somehow :(

    Today I have bought a Therion 166 with DNA250 chip on it. I was using a non DNA device and I could use preheat (set to a certain watt for certain time) and had no problems with a Kanthal.

    Just to use Temperature mode I have spent lots of money for a DNA device and I can not use Temp, mode on it >:( Also I can not use preheat function too!!!!!!! I am totally disappointed with DNA device. It is worthless with a Kanthal wire.. I have tried everything and it not working..... My ressistance is constant so I am sure problem is not with the atomizer or resistance..

    At least tell me how to use preheat function please I need support in here :(
