  3. Did you connect a x.xx Ω coil?

    It sounds like a poor connection between the board and coil. Using Atomizer Analyzer in EScribe can be most helpful. Self adjusting positive pins on attys can be problematic. The positive pin from the mod's 510 sometime gets stuck in the bottom of it's travel. Post screws need checked for tightness, ect. With Atomizer Analyzer you should be able to unscrew the atty more than just a quarter turn (approx) before reading becomes unstable,  

    Out of 3 DNA mods, countless atomizers, countless builds...I have never once been able to turn the atomizer analyzer even less than a quarter without the reading changing.

    I was wrong

    You should be OK at that resistance with most TC wire . Keep in mind that when using a wire like SS316 which has very little change in resistance  from cold to hot any false/poor connections  between the coil and board will start to show (interfere) with the lower you go down in resistance.

    Re-read what you wrote and am deleting my response based on my new understanding...lol

  7. Low resistance build

    How has nobody asked what atomizer op is using? Of course replay isn't working on stock pre made coils! There are very few instances where it would... Even if the coils say SS there are so many issues with the connection of floating pin atomizers with temp control and replay! If op gets an rda or rta and throws some guaranteed SS316l wire in there,I assure you that replay will work! The fact that op was getting a tolerable experience with same coils in TC only means that OP got lucky.

    But my guess is that OP is using a smok tank or crown 3; in the case of smok, the coil is not SS only the outer casing of the coil is made of SS and in the case of crown the coil material is an unknown variant of SS. The smok has been known to work in TC and give a reasonable vape... But it will never work reliably and will absolutely not work in replay for many reasons!

  8. Wotofo Profile RDA with OFRF Nexmesh SS316L

    Turns out it wasn't the preheat that was the issue. It was the mod measuring the resistance differently. When the mesh strip is first inserted into the RDA/mod it measures it as 0.16 and performs poorly but after firing it a couple times and measuring again it registers at 0.17 and performs much better with it set as that. I thought the pre heat was the issue because I turned that off the same time I measured the coil. 

    Bet y'all love dealing with beginners, huh? 😂

    Bruh...SS316 and other TC wires have a higher resistance when heated; this how we get temp control! So of course the resistance changes when you hit it a few times and remeasure the ohms!🤯 wait were you joking?! Please tell me you were joking

  9. What i would like to see in the next update

    whenever the next update comes along i would like to see the option of setting , measuring and locking resistance through all profiles , so when you lock your coils resistance that's registered in all profiles

    Not going to happen, and here is why:

    Evolv designed each profile to have readings independent of one another, this way each profile could theoretically represent a different atomizer. With all the variables that one can change in a profile, it's actually quite nice to be able to pre-set a profile so one can quickly put on a new atomizer and with a couple clicks be ready to have an entirely different vaping experience.

    You are aware that you could just lock in the cold resistance into all of your profiles and that can literally be done without even having to use a computer!

    It would undermine the entire reason the profiles are there in the first place.

  10. Reactor Mod (Thanks Frogmod!)

    in Modders' Forum

    Posted

    Was wondering what the Nuclear model would look like... I've got my eye on the universal 2x21700 squonker they have up. That will likely be the enclosure I use to build my first device.

    Not trying to knock on you or anything but I can run my paranormal 250c for slightly over a day at 100-105 watts with my Sony VTC5a and VTC5d(vapecell re-wraps)... But more power to ya! Building a mod had got to be much more satisfying than buying one anyway.

    What how long is the battery life on your device?

  11. How to delete themes 250C

    in EScribe, Software and Firmware

    You have to close the theme designer, and open escribe. In escribe there is a button that says "restore defaults" this will delete all themes from the device.

    Yeah but that also removes all the profiles and material that I've added to the device. Are you certain that the device stores old themes that you are no longer using?

    If so that seems like a bit of an oversight on the part of Evolv... Sounds like something should be remedied in the next firmware update ( @James)

  12. Coil builds. What works with Replay?

    I am just starting out on building my own coils. If I have a kanthal A1 core and wrap with SS326L will Replay still work? I was thinking of building a parallel 26Ga using kanthal wrapped in 32Ga SS316L.

    Replay function send based around core wire... So use SS for at least some of the core wire... Don't think it needs to be all though.

    Interestingly enough though you can use a different material for core wire(N80,N90,etc)and SS other wrap, and while replay doesn't work... Temp control will!

    I've been using N80 cores with SS wrap and then running in temp control with material set to SS316, and TC works flawlessly! Alternatively, SS cores and N80 wrap works with both replay and TC-SS.

    Running framed staple aliens in my Themis now with all N80 core with 34g SS wrap and use both TC and wattage with great success... No replay;though, I haven't tried it on my Replay PK profile to see if it works with that.

    The Boaz RDA they make is also pretty nice,

    They also have a current deal for 35% off spooled wire.

    Love my Boaz! Great connectivity... Amazing for temp control! And love AVS, but I Clapton my own wire now and they are too expensive and don't sell spools longer than 100 ft. But seriously amazing company; I'm in Colorado and hoping to work for them actually

  15. QP Designs Juggerknot RTA

    in Replay and Atomizers

    Posted

    I really liked the way that RTA looked... But seemed to have one fatal flaw; the positioning of the grub screws on the deck,I use a lot of flat wire types that would be misshapen by that deck. Plus I already have a Themis which I love and the Juggerknot sense too similar to drop $60 on.

    What are your thoughts?

    I tried your settings, was a little too hot for my build, but it was better. I lowered everything a few watts and degrees, and it's  performing much better. does your mod say .042 ohms? And may I ask what theme you are using. I really like that!

    I kind of thought it might be and I thought about adding a disclaimer since you said you were using quad cores which def don't need as many watts or as high of a temp.

    I would do the set temp between 495-505 with the pre heat temp set to 460_465 I would still give it 80-85 Watts for the set wattage and 95 for pre heat wattage.

    As a rule of thumb , set the pre heat temp about 20-30 degrees lower than your set temp and set pre heat wattage about 10-20 watts higher than your set wattage... That way there is no sudden dip in vapor production.

    And yes my coils are beefy...I should have used some N80 or kanthal in my build to bring the ohms up; but I used all SS316 and it does read .042 lol.i do not suggest building this low you can get better performance and flavor with higher ohm builds.

    I have it built to .12 ohms, and right now, running 40 watts at 475, with a 525 preheat at 125 watt preheat, with punch at 3 or 4.  I'm just getting dry, muted flavor now, when I was running it at like 30-35 watts before, at about 370-390.

    Dude this is nothing to do with your device. . Look at your settings! You must understand the parameters you're working with in temp control...

    You are using 125 WATTS(which is way too much to begin with) to pre heat to 525 F->as soon as your coil hits 525->it drops down to only using 40 WATTS(which is way too low for .12 ohms) at temp setting of 475 ( 50 degrees lower than your pre heat... That doesn't work)

    Try this:

    This is with some wire I wrapped myself: SS316L 24g /32g x 3 with 32g-> that's three 24g staggered Clapton cores wrapped by 32g then fused together with another 32g overwrap->for a fused staggered Clapton

    I just started having problems with my 250c in SS profile. It works fine with my Mesh Pro RDA, but as soon as I put my Drop on it with quad core fused clapton coils, it won't fire above 25 watts or so, according to device monitor. It did work before, then I bought my mesh rda, and been using that for a few weeks, then went back to the Drop, and it all of a sudden isn't working.

    Are ohms stable? Can you tell us a bit more about the build and the temp settings you are running it at?

    Also what happens if you put it in Watts?

    Thank you.. 

    And how do I calibrate the mod? It reads 0.004 ohm and I don't have any courage to tinker with my current knowledge.. some guidance is so much appreciated.. 

    I agree with retird, but I'm also wondering what mod you have? My paranormal was set to .004, but I brought it down to .0038; my friends paranormal was also set to .004 but I took her down to .0017 to get a correct ohm reading.

    Before tinkering with mod resistance perhaps see how ohm reading vary between your 250c and some other mods. If they are reading about the same resistance, then try running case thermals(be prepared to wait) in escribe. 

    Also where did you source your SS316? Are you running in wattage mode on replay? What kind of build do you have in there (like Clapton or gauge)?
