  1. Thanks for the help guys. I did change the battery profile for the LG's when I purchased the Reuleaux. Also the B&M did have another in stock so I did a 1:1 swap. Thanks for the help though, I certainly appreciate it, and hope this device doesn't have the same issue. Mods can close this topic.
  2. With the resistance showing while plugged into a wall adapter and what I have gathered while searching the forums I am hesitant to blame the fuse at this point. I believe either Brandon or John stated in a post that the resistance will not show with a blown fuse. At this point though I am also hesitant to open the case, remove the board and inspect the fuse due to not wanting to void the warranty through Wismec. From the diagrams I have seen the fuse is on the side mounted to the case.
  3. I rotated the batteries, and changed positions for them. The batteries I used are LG HG2's and they fit pretty snugly in the mod itself. Almost too snugly if you ask me. I checked the reverse polarity and ensured that the positive contact is centered in the contact. The only time the screen comes on is when I plug in the USB cable. On a hunch I just tried to plug the mod into the USB while plugged into a 1A wall adapter from the eVic VTC Mini, I purchased a few months back and the resistance does show when I press the fire button, but when I hold it it shows "Ohms too high". This is with a .18 ohm coil and a .58 ohm coil in my Atlantis tank, but still no resistance is showing when I plug into my PC USB port, and escribe still shows "?" Also worth noting is I have changed the wattage to 30w to not burn out my Atlantis coil, and adjusted the wattage manually to accommodate each atty, but as soon as I unplug it the wattage goes back to 80w (which is the last wattage the device fired at).
  4. OK this is my second DNA 200 device, my first is a VT 200. Yesterday I ended up purchasing a Reuleaux DNA 200, because I needed better battery life to make it through my shifts at work without having to either carry a second mod, or leaving my VT 200 at home and bringing my Sigelei 150 TC to work. Anyway as I was leaving work, and talking to a coworker outside I went to hit my mod, and nothing. The batteries still had more than 50% charge (set it up in escribe for 33.3wh, using LG HG2's). So I went home and connected to escribe, hoping it was being a tad glitchy and as soon as I plugged it into my PC the Wismec logo appeared, but the atty resistance was showing 0.00ohms. I removed my atty, put it on my ohm reader which indicated the resistance was in fact .25, so I tried a couple other attys and the results were the same. I removed my batteries and verified that they had a charge, all three showed 3.8v. Looking through other threads all I can assume is that the fuse popped. My question is why would the fuse pop with relatively conservative settings? I vape at 80w/.25ish ohms. Other steps I took include checking the resistance in escribe, which indicated "?". I verified the firmware (runnin 8-21), and went into debug mode to verify it wasn't a screen issue (7 clicks on the evolv logo inside the help menu, screen said 0). Any help would be great. I literally have had it less than 48 hours, but because it was the second to last at my local B&M I am not holding my breath with regards to being able to exchange it. Thanks.
  5. Does anyone know the thread pitch of the T8 screws? One of mine looks nearly rounded out and I would like to replace them, especially since there is a replacement battery available.
  6. I have to say I'm impressed with how low the apparent failure rate is. Failures are to be expected with anything that is mass produced, what would be interesting to examine is what types of failures are people having (fuses or board issues or assembly errors such as failed solder joints). I purchased mine on 8 OCT (SN#4622) and it has been a joy to use. No issues so far, but I am far from hard on it. On Kanthal and NiChrome I vape at 45w, on Ni200 I vape at 60-80w 400* F.
