  2. OK-it is NOT a bad balance port, it is settings.

    [QUOTE=Gm111][QUOTE=Conanthewarrior][QUOTE=VapingBad]Check your settings, maybe clean the balance connector pins with some IPA or meths and a pipe-cleaner or dental gap brush (disconnect the battery completely first). If they are in balance the the DNA will charge them fine, it will charge unbalanced batteries just slowly.



    I think cleaning the pins are the last shot-but I KNOW its a setting as when put onto the V1 Inadverdantly, it done the EXACT same as the V2-reading the battery 1/4 full, jumping about in Escribe. 

    I have completely wiped the device and reset to evolv standard, still the same, so uploaded the actual hotcig settings file from them, still the same issue! But, when that software went onto the V1, it was the same issue, so it must be something in settings or escribe itself. 

    I have checked everything, and all seems correct. 

    Maybe a fresh install of Escribe as I know it is firmware related, or do you not think that will help? 

    I really am stumped-I double checked the batteries by removing from their enclosure, and sure enough, they were all balanced, 3.98V a cell(one battery), Fullymax batteries. 

    It seems Escribe is functioning incorrectly, but with only ONE out of 3 devices.  It will not allow mains Charging past 1/4 either with 2 Li-PO's that I KNOW to be fine. :s

    Really, really am stumped as I know its not RMA time due to it happening to the V1 before I set a custom profile for the dual 18650's, reading correctly BTW and performing great for my needs-133W is well enough for me, and very happy with the result-only thing is I wanted to convert the V2 as it has a nicer finish-but even with 2 cell selected it was reading 1/4 charge on fully charged 18650's. 


    [/QUOTE] Can you send your escribe file for the v2 see if we can spot anything.. I believe you said you tried your v1 settings on the v2 (without reading through again) ? It sounds like warranty service without the message.. Have you checked your pins are all secure on the jst plug on the board side?[/QUOTE]

    Hi, I havent opened the unit up, but checked the outside pins, as it is the hotcig with the interchangeable LI-Pos, I didn't want to open up the V2, BUT as the EXACT same thing happened when the V2 setup file was loaded onto the V1 and the V1 did the same, it MUST be to do with that setup. 

    Where should I send the file too so you can take a look? 

    Thank you for the help by the way, I really do appreciate it.

    I just did the same "test" with some LG HE4's, just about identical so I'm ruling out the batteries as the culprit.
    "vernier"? is that a caliper? I have a caliper, but those aren't my pictures.
    Maybe the wires will "pop" before the fuse...LOL

    Yes measures to .00 mm, so the photos of the mod apart are not yours? I was just wondering the diameter of the wire..

    [QUOTE=lewisss]16gauge pvc insulated is the recommended, minimum is 18 gauge. from evolv specs.

    i am running the batt analyser on 3wx lg 3000mah brown as we speak so will post results when the test is done

    How about posting a live view shot firing something 25 amps?
    Here's mine at just under 26 amps using 3 Mxjo 3000's.
    [image]
    The pack was 12.5 volts on the start.[/QUOTE] That is crazy, I can't believe wismec have done that.. It's like voiding they're warranty with evolv for the sake of wires which should be 16/18 gage not 20/22.. Do you have a vernier dwcraig1? @lewisss the point is that the wire used will not carry the current (amps) that the chip is capable of, it's just asking for trouble and wires will get too hot and damage either the battery or the chip or even worse the owner.. I hope someone from evolv finds this post soon and tells wismec before something happens.

    [QUOTE=Gm111][QUOTE=Conanthewarrior][QUOTE=Gm111]Have a look at your other thread, not sure about charging time I'd imagine at least 1.5 hours at 1amp.. vaporshark claim their 900mah will charge in 1.5 hours at 2amps soo.. Also don't worry about that temperature 90f is like 30c.

    Oh haha I am not used to Fahrenheit, we live in the UK where we drive in miles per hour, weigh our self in pounds and ounces, but sell our meat and food by the gram and kilo and measure projects in CM/MM. 


    We have one confusing system out here lol. [/QUOTE] Ayy we've got some things in common then hahaha. You must be weighing a baby ;) you forgot the stone..[/QUOTE]


    Oh hahaha, I did forget the stone! I weigh 11 stone 7 :). [/QUOTE] Hahaha it's surprising how many people on here are from the uk..

    [QUOTE=Gm111]I'm not sure what the hotcig battery connectors are like but do you have a multimeter?



    Yes I do have multimeter, when I got the battery it measures at 11.31V-so I thought great, a replacement that will work.

    BUT when I got my DNA200 back from Evolv, guess what? 

    Cell 1 will charge to a maximum of 3.85V, 3.86 if I am lucky. Cell 2 and 3 charge to the full 4.2V. 

    So, intead of 10W/h's I get 6. I can't wait for the wismec realauz to come next week, and be done with the hotcig-I will just use it as a back up. 

    I am using it right now, but the battery life is comparable to a single battery device at around 30 or so watts. 

    So, it works, flawlessly, and performs the best out of all my devices-but I got a bad battery, AGAIN. [/QUOTE] If you've done this since having your mod back then don't worry but try measuring through the balance plug rather than the whole battery and see if each cell is okay.. Should be 3.7, 7.4 &11.1 if that's all good then the problem could be the balace connector on the chip isn't soldered right on cell 1.. Hopefully we can resolve this problem asap, if it's not the solder joint on cell 1 on the balance connector you could always replace the battery with one bought here in the uk, you could get one for under £10.

  22. Never asked if new coil regardless of wire type

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I don't think this is a problem with wire or the chip, turbocad I think and myself had this problem before and it was due to coils touching ever so slightly, it could even be a leg on one coil touching the other so check their not touching, check there's no trimmed wire in your post holes and if it's neither of them try cleaning your atomiser and the 510 pin on the mod and atomiser, then if it still does it then maybe something is up with the mod or your built isn't very stable in the atomiser/s your using..
