Hey guys,
I am pretty new to this forum and DNA devices all together. I have been vaping for over a year now and have had multiple devices. My first DNA device is the Lost Vape Paranormal 166, and I absolutely love this thing. The only problem I have just recently arose when I got new coils. These new ones are pretty big and reading at .08-.12 ohms. My device reads it different almost every time I hit it (most of the time its .1 or .11, but it has read down to as low as .08 on occasion). That however, is not the biggest issue I am running into (and it is something I have seen on other forums that this device is notorious for). Ever since I got these coils, I have been vaping them at a comfortable 140 watts, which obviously will drain my batteries pretty quickly (I use 2x LG HG2). When my batteries get to around 40% it will stop heating my coils and display "CHECK BATTERY" not allowing me to vape it anymore at 140 watts, but if I lower to around 100 or 110 watts, it works again for a little while, but will eventually give me the same problem when I get to around 20% battery. Normally, around this time I will charge the device, so that really isn't too big of an issue, but not allowing me to use beyond my 40% battery (has been up as high as around 50% battery) at my comfortable wattage is pretty annoying. My old coils were .17 ohms and I never had this issue a single time (vaped them at 110W). I tweaked my settings in escribe (attached is the .csv I used for the LG HG2's [2x LG HG2 18.75wh.csv]) and have played around with the watt hour settings, changing the value from 22.2 to 18.75 (found the value on another thread in this forum, along with the .csv file). Here are my settings in a list format:
Battery
type: Lithium Polymer
capacity: 18.75 Wh (2-cell)
cell soft cutoff: 2.8 V
charging mode: Max Puffs
discharge profile: 2x LG HG2 18.75wh.csv
max peak input current: 28 A
max sustained input current: 28A
Electrical
mod resistance: 0.01 ohms
ohm lock range: +/- 14.84%
I am still relatively new vaping, so I mainly use Wattage Control mode, but if this problem persists, possibly I will begin to research Temp Control... ideas on this? But back to my issue, does anyone have any insight on what could be happening? I love these new larger coils - the taste and vapor production is much better, but might have to go back to using the other ones if this keeps happening. Though I do think a $180 vape should be able to handle these coils without an issue since my $60 SMOK alien will run the batteries until they're dead with these coils at 140 watts with zero issue. In all honesty it is probably something I did on escribe which is why I am reaching out to you guys.
Thanks!
