So, it may have took 2 days, a small fire, and now a set of batteries I no longer trust... But my Reuleaux RX200 is now a DNA200, and I'm hella proud of it. So I'm gana share my story: ~~~~~~~~~Commence TL;DR warning~~~~~~~~~~ Lots of learning, plenty of frustration. I started with a 20 year old 25W soldering iron... That didnt work too well. My first day was a complete failure... After about 7 hours I finally got everything plugged in and soldered well enough that wires wouldnt just snap or fall off... But the device was only turning on when I hit the fire button? Lol no clue how that's even possible I didnt touch those connections... Then, I re-wired it and nearly caught it on fire... Completely melted fortunately just a single wire. Well, after taking a break and going to bed, I woke up, got a new soldering iron (a 140 watt one, was done having solder just sit there for 5 minutes potentially frying the chip while I waited for it to heat up...) and tore all the wires off, cleaned the solder off as best I could (desoldering wicks are pretty uncommon apparently, went to 2 hardware stores...), and salvaged an old external DVD drive for new wires. So, after that I took it from the beginning, as if I was making a new device not just adapting an old one and upgrading with new tech. I re wired the entire battery tray, giving it longer wires (the original ones were so tightly wired I couldnt even take it apart with out desoldering it) so I knew exactly where the power was going. Then I attached another wire to the positives of every battery, and manually soldered it into the terminal. Net result is now the DNA200 can read the voltage off of each battery and balance them like it should be able to. My 3 18650's are being treated as a 3s LiPo, and it works perfectly... Well almost... Anyways, the second total rebuild with the new iron took only about an hour of measuring, stripping, and soldering all new wires onto every part. One of the golden disks (that the positive end sits on) melted so bad I had to throw it away and make up something new for it to sit in... Ended up being a mess of electrical tape but it works and doesnt fall out. After that, everything was finally assembled. I gave everything longer wires so I had more room to work with, and can pull the battery tray out w/o desoldering anything. It's not perfect, I think theres too much wire since the battery cover doesnt sit perfectly flush, theres a half mm gap in it now but whatever... I'm here to vape, and it does. Carefully I tested it, slowly inserting each battery, waiting for any of the wires to short and none did. I gave it a few test vapes and celebrated, putting it down and taking a break for a good hour. When I came back I went to tighten everything up and found that when I did apparently the atty shorts? No clue how. I went back in, and painted everything over in clear nail polish giving it a good 30 mins to dry, then plastered strips of thin rubber over the connections to be 100% sure it's insulated. Low and behold, it works fine now. I couldnt determine how or why it was shorting, but that fixed it. After that, I had a few more challenges to overcome, that took several hours. First off, the DNA200 screen is about twice the size of the RX200, so I had to dremel out the viewport. I cant use the glass insert so I'll have to make my own at some point. Then, none of the buttons fit. The fire button made no contact, and the up/down buttons were hard up against the board... Simple fix, I put a bit of foam in the fire button to give it a bit more depth (also had the side effect of making it not clicky) and drilled a 0.5mm hole into the up/down buttons. Simple enough, problem solved! ~~~~~~~~~~TL;DR break~~~~~~~~~ Anyways, now here I'm sitting and I havnt even drained a full battery... I've been playing with the escribe software getting a feel for it. I dont understand everything in it yet, but I'd say a fair 70% of it. The thing I bought the DNA200 for was to customize the temperature curves so I can finally get a reliable SS build going, though I've yet to venture that far. I'm still getting a grasp on everything this chip can do, it's incredible. Unless a new revelation in vaping hardware comes out, I dont think I'll need another setup. Even then, I have all the bits I need to migrate if that does happen. I can either take the chip over into a new/better mod (It'll be hard to beat the Reuleaux's form factor, it's awesome) or if theres somehow a better chip in the near future, I can just wire that into the Reuleaux now that I've obtained the knowledge on how to do so proficiently. Other than that, there doesnt seem to be anything this chip cant do. 200W is all I need (and it's true 200w, not 200 pulse like so many others), and it can be programmed to handle any potentially new wire types that come out. And having custom screens is awesome too of course. Anyways, that's just me introducing myself and my adventure on getting here. Was frustrating, but totally worth it!
