i personally cant think of a reason i would want to completely turn the mod off however if it isnt too much work to implement why not. the feature can be easily disabled or enabled with one checkbox in escribe.

you know what, it would be AMAZING if the companies which mass produce these mods just took this simple step to improve their product. if they have the ability to mill a case out of a chunk of metal i would assume that making a few shorting pins for themselves wouldnt be an issue at all. its the little things, you know.

yea you can just set the cutoff voltage higher if you want. i generally set mine to 3.2v which gives me a good cushion.

i have always though that evolv should release a "premium" version of the DNA200. it would essentially be the same chip spec wise just with a bluetooth chip added as well as a larger, higher pixel density display and comparability for Qi wireless charging. give the premium chip a menu based UI closer to that of the xcube (their interface works quite well). the wireless charging would obviously need to be implemented by the mod makers, but some modifications to the board would be needed as well. honestly they are selling this current chip for $80. even if they charged an extra $40 for the chip alone and the mod makers added an extra $20-30 on top of that i would be ok with it. an extra $60-$70 for all that i wouldn't hesitate in the slightest. just the wireless charging alone would be great. i already have wireless charging pads all over my house and one in my car. ... as an added thought maybe USB type-c. the connectors are a lot more durable.

run the two analyzers as well. the battery analyzer will give you your discharge profile and the case analyzer will recording the effects of the case on the temperatures in the device.

for the battery capacity you want to set it to 9.99 Wh. the cell soft cutoff is 3.09V. after you have that set run the battery analyzer and case analyzer. just follow the directions that are shown. the one field which is under debate is the mod resistance. at one place volcano is saying it should be set to 0.02. in another they have said 0.007 (which is in line with the vaporshark). some people have tested it themselves at 0.02 and others have tested it themselves at 0.007. there are a few ways you can test your own mod (do any of these tests with the mod resistance set to 0): 1- have a threaded brass or copper pin which you short out the 510 connection with 2- have a non threaded brass or copper pin which fit in the 510 as snugly as possible and shorts the device 3- use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance of a build and compare that to what the DNA200 is reading. the difference is your mod resistance. 4- get a RDA deck (dual coil at least ideally) and short the posts with the thickest copper wire you can fit in the holes. the resistance you read is your mod resistance. without a doubt #1 will give you the best result. depending on the overall fit of #2 will influence that methods reliability. #3 will increase in accuracy the better the ohmmeter you use. a high quality multimeter or oscilloscope will give you the best readings. #4 will be measuring the resistance of the deck as well as the mod resistance so there is more uncertainty. in any case i would not ever recommend setting the value to anything over 0.02 as this is quite high to begin with and immediately caused a knee jerk reaction when we first saw it. personally if you dont want to or arent able to test yourself a fairly safe value is 0.007 which is around what most DNA200 devices have their internal resistance set to.

with the power vs temp issue all it takes is some common sense to give you the only correct information: - preheat phase: the higher the wattage and harder the initial punch as well as vapor production. with a quick ramp up time you will get your initial vapor warmer faster. however, the higher this preheat power is set the shorter this phase is because the coil will reach its intended temperature sooner. this very short phase the power you set rules. - vaping phase: after the 0.5-1s preheat phase while your coil gets up to temperature this is obviously dictated by the temperature you set. when the coil approaches and finally reaches the set temperature the power is drastically reduced because it isnt needed in the slightest. it doesnt matter how much higher you set your power there will be no change at all in your vape experience (either vapor production of flavor). therefore if you want to be pedantic, you can say that both power and temperature are factors. and while that is technically true the reality says otherwise. if your pull is 4s long you would be lucky if 15-20% of your total vape time is influenced by the wattage set at all. the temperature you have set overwhelmingly dictates the quality of the vape. these are not opinions, they are facts. this is confirmed each and every time you look at the device monitor in escribe. HOWEVER, there is one pseudo situation this is not the case. in the event that both your preheat phase and vaping phase power are set at the perfect values so that the coil never quite reaches the set temperature than the vape is completely dictated by power. the reason why i call this is pseudo situation is because you are not actually using temperature control at all. through sheer dumb luck or a lot of trial and error you have set your power settings to the exact values so that you create an equilibrium point when the power going into the coil is being fully balanced by the cooling of the juice in the wick as well as the airflow passing by it. this situation is extremely precarious and even small changes in wick saturation, ambient temperature, length of vape, and even suction would upset this equilibrium. essentially in this situation you are self temperature controlling. the end result would be a much slower ramp up time than you would experience if you allowed the mod to temp control. in addition, the equilibrium vape would be nowhere near as consistent.

lol that isnt controversial. for anyone who has thought about what is actually happening it is a foregone conclusion. hence, its obvious that while in TC mode the primary adjustment should be temperature (or at least have the option to be).

stainless TC is sketchy and difficult to achieve. titanium not so much. the majority of mods which support TC at this point also control Ti as well (and they do so reasonably). i wouldnt argue with anyone who wants to say that SS shouldnt be included because of the variance we are seeing. as an owner of a xcube 2 i know how poorly that works at stock settings. to get even a reasonable vape you need to play with the coefficient quite a bit. and even if you do find one which works reasonably well at a certain temperature, if you change it you need to start your experimentation all over again. that being said i would still like to see the option for the profiles to be independent of the power (excluding preheat) and temperature settings which it currently contains. this paired with the ability to easily change the wattage, and especially temperature through the device would make the DNA200 even better in my books.

yea mod makers are dropping the ball as well and could be doing much more to set up their devices. however, even if a manufacturer set up a profile for titanium they would need to preset a temperature. it would be much easier if that was never an issue.

In my opinion nothing would be simpler than setting a material for the coil and then power and temperature. It's what other mids are doing. Take the evic vt or vtc mini for example. You choose power, nickel, or titanium mode. You then choose power and lastly your temperature. Nothing can be simpler than that. On the 200 you would just set the material profile just as you did on the evic followed by the rest. At this point that procedure is very common and a lot of people would be used to it from lower power mods. If you want to make the chip as easy as possible to use you need to assume that people do not use the software at all. In this situation the 200 is limited to just nickel and power mode. There are many other mods which support titanium and stainless right out of the box. It would be much more attractive for potential buyers to have these options available on the device itslef. This would also be solved with a switch to profiles being material only. The mod manufacturers could load on additional material profiles in the existing 8 spaces so that vapers who do not want to use the software are ready to go. Of course all of this is still able to be customized on your computer just as it is now.

you do have a point which i didnt consider originally. i did just think that a best of both worlds solution would be to keep the profiles are they are now. so in them you can set an initial power and temperature for the profile. however, you are then able to deviate from that on the device. to borrow from someone else's idea in another topic you could: - store all the information in the profile as it is today with an initial power and temperature chosen - change to the profile you want. mod automatically changes to the initial power and temp setting as per profile - change temperature as needed using +/- while unlocked - change power as needed using [power] and +/- while unlocked - if you want to revert back to the initial power and temp just go back into the profile selector and select the profile again (or a different one) any changes you make on the device to modify the power and temp of the profile are temporary and in no way saved.

my lavabox is shipping right now. as someone who fully intends to use the escribe software to its fullest i have no issue personally if some of the settings need some changing. however, if i was not in that situation i would definitely be put off buying this product if i found out this information. you can generally assume that all the battery packs and case thermals are the same for each device (within the margin of error anyways). there might be some small variations in mod resistance just due to production tolerances but even that should be easily solved. as a final step before packaging how difficult would it be to screw in a copper short pin into the 510 to determine the resistance. then just enter that in the mod resistance field while uploading the lavabox standard CSV with the pretested battery and case information. this would take less than 1 minute per mod and would result in much more accurate performance. something so small would go such a long way.

it would be nice if they offered a battery upgrade and new rear panel and grip combo. perhaps an upgrade to a 1300mAH or 1500mAH pack with a larger rear door for the people who are ok with something a little larger would be nice. i imagine that it wouldnt be very different for volcano to produce either. its just another mold for the rear grips and pattern for the milling machine.

semantics aside, this proposed change seems like a no brainer. there should be a way to not only change the power but also the temperature from the device itself. i know that depending on the juice i am using to like to change both. i personally dont know why evolv stuck with the same UI (essentially) as the DNA40. with all the added potential of the 200 even something like a limited menu based UI should have been a given. or perhaps bluetooth with a phone app in a future v2 chip release so we can change things on the go. that is an amazing idea.

this might be a little more involved than a simple feature request and might boarder more along the lines of a rework but i believe it is needed nevertheless. the current implementation of profiles is needlessly limited. depending on juice, coil material, coil design, deck/tank you are currently vaping you might want to change up your power and/or temperature on the go (especially if you are dripping and change flavors often). why are we setting final power and temperature in profiles at all? the profiles would be better used just as a means to store material data (for temp), preheat and punch settings. with that change there would be little need to have different profiles set for stainless steel wire with different power and temperate settings but the exact same material characteristics. ideally the device UI would be changed so that you can first choose the material profile you want to use (with an option to show the profile number at all times on the display) and then you would be free to set power and temperature as you see fit. in addition, the changes suggested in the link thread below would be perfectly suited to be added as well. /topic/66948-topic/?do=findComment&comment=902268
