W124l29

Is my firmware bugged? My resistance sits at 0.08Ohms, and I've resorted to setting temperature to 550F just to get a taste of what should IMO read as 350F at the most. I've charged it fully, &c, left it off for hours, and it still hits TC limit immediately after my finger hits fire.

As I mentioned there in the end I plan on ordering one, most of my go-to builds are Titanium so I'm confident I can get it to work. Voltage is the key to avoid PWM, some people it doesn't bother .. PWM annoys me but if I exactly dial-in the wattage or Joules I can minimize its effects. Since the Mod, I assume, is serial it should not pulse. It's cheap in a good way. So we'll see, I'm waiting for batch (debugged) two or later this month. ;-)[/QUOTE] I don't have an engineering background as I'm still an undergraduate student studying for eventual MBA-JD joint degree w/ history background, but I'd say I'm quick enough to understand an explanation of how these chips work. I haven't been able to find, less some schematics, press releases, & spec sheets, any solid 3rd party information as to what limits chips to certain wattages, and whether firmware updates to say the DNA200 chip would hypothetically allow for it to function at a higher wattage? Would anyone be able to explain, and I don't need an entirely layman description, whether the batteries or the chip are what hold the wattage back from being say 250 or 300W? Is it the soldering slash material quality of the chip limiting its wattage rating, as I assume all electricity passes through slash over the chip directly? I would assume that the cylindrical Li-Ion is superior to the pouch Li-Po type for power but the Li-Po is better for those looking for a lighter mod? I'm torn between three mods one of which I will buy within the coming week: Wismec Reuleaux RX200; Wismec Reuleaux DNA200; Vapor Shark DNA200. I've had terrible customer relations with the guys at Vapor Flask, which I realize are a separate entity from Vapor Shark and so is why I am willing to give Shark a try coupled with the physical mod itself having a nice rubberised finish. I suppose my question would be there whether anyone who owns an RX200 and has expertise on any level can checkout the board's manufacturing quality by eye alone, and how that would compare to the DNA200? Granted an equal manufacturing quality, I suppose it would go to preference, but if indeed the DNA200 chip is superior in manufacturing: which would people recommend based solely upon reliability & battery life, the Reuleaux or the Vapor Shark? I realize that I've packed quite a bit into a few extended questions, and so I might just create a separate thread for this but it seemed a relevant place to post it to start.

Lol, I always took people using the word "clone" as a slang for bootleg but perhaps I was mistaken

Would people say that the DNA200 has major problems just like the DNA40, &c, because I'm torn between the RX200 reverse engineered 200W & the DNA200--but the DNA40's what, three models, due to their high failure rate threw me off entirely, not to mention the pricepoint? PS: I should add that I had a DNA40 before and it failed after a few weeks, perhaps three, although I didn't believe it and vaped on burning Ni coils for a week or two while I furiously remade coil after coil & reset my atomizer repeatedly which is a bother because there was E-liquid on my hands & the mod each time to clean up (spent multiple hours per day fixing the thing) before it full-stop failed and I would have to trick it just for mediocre results.

ah, just remembered: the word is reverse-engineer

Its, Joytech, board is a cheap non-programmable (firmware upgrade only) with Ni200, SS (guessing a Chinese equivalent to SS316L) and Titanium TC support .. plus VW mode. I'd also guess a PWM power vs a much smoother DC-DC as with Evolv. Specs: Resistance range: 0.05-1.0ohm for TC-Ni/TC-Ti/TC-SS mode; 0.1-3.5ohm for VW mode The eVic has crap board with a huge screen .. this has a small screen. I don't own one, I'm ordering one out of curiosity...[/QUOTE] actually by typing "RX200 DC-DC" into my favorite search engine, Dogpile, I've stumbled across some perhaps unreliable websites claiming that Wismec released information on the RX200 and stated that it indeed was DC-DC aswell though a superior in-house "copy"--I cannot remember the word which irritates me, but it is when a team takes a competitor's product apart and makes their own better or cheaper what have you
