  1. hello,

    i have dna200 boards.... i want to make a (DIY) mod with a single 18650 battery but dna200 board cant support single 18650.....is there any way, software upgrade etc or any hardware trick to run dna200 board with single 18650 battery (reduction of power (wattage) is no issue) 

    regards

    I have done the same......and Vaping :) .........Thank You Verry Much for cooperation. 


    You are welcome, just glad you got you mod working again.[/QUOTE]

    Hello how r u?

    i have installed the automotive fuse it was working good but suddenly my mod stopped working. i have checked the automotive fuse (which is not blown), OLED, battery (working good with other mod) and the board but i remained unable to understand the problem. Can i send my board for warranty?

    if the lipo has swelled that means it's on it's way out. garbage. you can buy replacement hcigar lipos. here's one vendor....

    can i continue using the same until the new lipo received or stop using the mod. is it safe?

    Have you used the Device Monitor to see what is happening with the cell voltages, power output, resistance, etc. when you press the fire button?



    When i press power button, the escribe shows variations in the graph but the device does not gives power to atomizer rather a message "check atomizer" displays.

    It may be the screen cable getting pinched under the fire button.



    Maybe there is some issue with screen connections but the board is also not giving power to the atomizer.....on pressing the power button "Check Atomizer" is showing on the dim screen.
  6. Suddenly the screen on my dna200 become very dim...... when i press the fire button, the message displays "check atomiser". i have checked and attached it with escribe, there is no issue with battery. I cant understand what is issue. i have attached other atomizers but the same message displayed.....and the screen remained very dim.

    Recovery charge allows the charger to turn on even when one or more cells have fallen below 2 volts.  It will only stay on briefly (a minute or so) before returning to its normal 2 volt limit.  The idea is, if a cell has dropped below the 2v threshold it should, with a brief charge, jump back above 2v.  

    Recovery charge will not work if any cell has fallen below 1 volt.



    my 2 cells are over 2 volts but 3rd one has fallen below 1 volt. In this situation how do i recover charging?

    [QUOTE=VapingBad]A hobby charger or USB recovery charge in EScribe, I am 99% sure the Nitecore will not charge low cells, Most XTar chargers will, but even then you would need to make up a lead and charge one cell at a time.

    I got performed Escribe USB Recovery Charging....it worked and now the voltages of 3 lipo battery cells are above 3 volts, as well as, the voltages are in-line with each other.

    Because of your expert advice, i have succeeded to make my mod in working position, without sending the same to Evolv for warranty.

    Thank You Very Much

    One thing i want to confirm that whether (with this 25 Amp automotive fuse) my mod will work as worked with the on-board fuse. Is it safe?   [/QUOTE]

    Thanks

    Someone can guide you on this better than myself but it appears that your battery is to low for the charger to work normally.
    Use " battery recovery" in the search box of this forum to learn more till more folks come online.



    Maybe the battery is too much low.... is there any other way to charge the battery..... i have a Nitecore single 8650 charger can i charge my lipo pack with it?
    It is also said that if the battery is too much low it could be dangerous.

    [QUOTE=VapingBad]Yes what John described is the same as the picture I did for you.



    Thanks a lot...... Now i am going to install the fuse with a hope that the board will work as work with the SMT fuse.

    Thanks again[/QUOTE]

    I have short the fuse points and install an 25amp automotive fuse according to the diagram. Oled become on but when i attached the tank/atomizer and press the power button an error is displaying i.e, "Check Battery".

    When i plugged the charger, it does not charge the battery.

    (1) Escribe Battery Status (2) Board plugged with charger but not charging the battery.

    now i cant understand what is the problem? Please Guide.

    [QUOTE=ziaibrahimadv@yahoo.com][QUOTE=VapingBad]Personally I would put a lower fuse on like 20 A because these will take longer to blow than the SMD ones, if you can find "fast blow" they would be best.  But you have to understand that this is a your own risk, you could send the board to Evolv and get them to check it and replace the fuse.



    Please tell me if you are confident with the installation of automotive fuse, or not?
    because i have satisfied with your reply to this post.

    I prefers to install an automotive fuse because it (fuse blow) has been happen to my second device. I live in Pakistan and it takes more than 2 months for shipping and return from Evolv, due to the reason i am searching an alternate for changing the fuse.

    I have tried to buy the original fuse from:
     http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=3413.0332.22virtualkey69300000virtualkey693-3413.0332.22

    ebay and other vendors but they do not ship to Pakistan, therefore, i am searching for a good and authentic alternate.

    if there is someone who already have tried it and satisfied with its working, his opinion / experience would be very helpful for me as well as for others.[/QUOTE]
    It will work to fix the fuse, but if there is another problem that caused the original fuse to blow it will not fix that. Best to go be John and Jame's posts in this thread https://forum.evolvapor.com/topic/67186-topic/[/QUOTE]

    John Posted in the above-said thread referred by you as under:

    If you are feeling feisty, you could short across the fuse on the board with a large wire and install a mini 25 amp automotive fuse in line with the battery if you have space in your device."

    What i understand, the Jhon's suggestion is absolutely according to the "wiring diagram" referred by you.

     Am i right?

    Wiring the auto fuse: you would just put it it the positive wire from the battery connector, just cut that wire and solder each end to the fuse.

    Thank You for referring this diagram. It would be very useful for the DIY folk specially.

    I believe that there is no (+) Positive & (-) Negative of the fuse.

    I am going to install this......... i will confirm if it works or not.

    Thank You Again

    [QUOTE=ziaibrahimadv@yahoo.com][QUOTE=black lace]Sos mate am still on mobile, if you cant find anything through search and dont feel confident about it i would very much recomend putting a ticket in and wait for advise.. do you know what issue caused the fuse to burn up.



    Thanks for the reply......you may reply to this when u will be free.

    I have read and view the DNA200 data sheet portion relevant to "Fuse" is reproduced as under:

    Fuse
    Because of the energy and power stored in the battery, the DNA 200 includes an onboard 25 amp SMT fuse. The fuse is located on the underside of the PCB near the B+ battery terminal, and is labelled “Fuse” In normal operation the fuse should never blow. However, in the event of an error or short circuit on the board, the fuse will protect the battery. Should it need to be replaced, the fuse is manufactured by Schurter , part number 3413.0332.22

    Replacement is accomplished by de-soldering the blown fuse from the board and soldering on a new fuse.


    No i dont know, i even dont know what are the general reasons of blowing the fuse.

    I have found a automotive fuse with an online vendor, which is described as:


    Features:

    Fuse Current Rating: 25A 

    Voltage Rating DC:32V

    Picture:
    fuse.jpg 

     Will it work ???????????????

     

    [/QUOTE]there's a few people here in the forum that have used automotive blade fuses. they do work. just make sure it's no more than 25 amp rating. but your best bet, if your board is under warranty, have evolv replace the fuse for you. [/QUOTE]

    Can you refer any picture / diagram of the wiring??
