Hi Arctic fox has virtually the same graphing ability as escribe, with live monitoring of all key parameters. The problem with both arctic fox and escribe is that they aren’t graphing the temperature, only resistance translated to temperature, so it is difficult to know which one is teporting the temperature correctly. All I know is that in the normal 420f to 470f range the DNA250 feels really weak / cold with lack of flavour. If I switch to wattage mode with my dual coil zeus build I get a similar vapour production and warmth of vape (to the 450f DNA 250c setting) if I vape at 22w. Using the steam engine heat flux figures this equates to 100mW/sqmm, which is classed as a very cold vape. By comparison, when vaping my arctic fox mods at 450f it feels similar to vaping at about 36w, which steam engine classes as a slightly warm vape with a heat flux of 165mW/sqmm. This suggests that it is the DNA 250c which is reporting the temperature incorrectly.

Hi New DNA user here (but long time Arctic Fox user), with a newly purchased Lost Vape Paranormal 250C. A couple of issues that I'm having and I'm wondering if they are 'normal for the Paranormal' or whether I need to submit a ticket: 1 - Case Analyser Trickle Charge When trying to run the case analyser it is showing a low level charging current from the usb connection (fluctuating between about 0 and 0.03). The case analyser completes OK and the room temperature when complete is showing within 1 degree C of my room thermometer reading. The coil resistance readings also appear to be accurate (within 0.001 ohms of the steam engine coil wrapping tool prediction and again within 0.001 of the readings from my other mods which are running arctic fox. Should I be concerned about the usb trickle charge, even though it seems to give accurate cold resistance readings and room temperature readings will it affect the mod performance in other ways? Is this normal? 2 - Cold / Weak Vape Using Temp Control with Stainless Steel Wire Using Stealthvape SS316L 26g wire with the steam engine DNA curve for SS316L wire I get a very weak and cold vape with the DNA 250c. 420F produces virtually no vapour. 470F is a cool vape (what I would normally expect at 420F) and to get a reasonably warm vape I am having to go up to 520 - 530F. Using the same coil / tank on my other mods which are running Arctic Fox I am getting a far warmer and nicer vape between 420F and 470F whilst using the same Steam Engine SS316L curve. To get a comparable vape with the DNA 250c I need to use the steam engine curve for SS304 instead of SS316L! The cold resistance of my builds reads consistently between the DNA250c and my other mods. Internal resistance of the Lost Vape Paranormal is set at 0.004 ohms (so even if I were to set it to 0,000 ohms it wouldn't change the registered coil resistance sufficiently to resolve the problem). The cold and weak vape occurs on all my coil builds with SS316L (both single and dual coils). . If it helps, I'm currently using a dual coil build on a Geekvape Zeus dual coil tank. 6.5 wraps of 26g Stealthvape SS316L around a 3mm rod and about 8mm total leg length per coil. The build reads at 0.251 ohms on the Paranormal DNA 250c and 0,250 ohms on my Arctic Fox mods. The Steam Engine prediction is 0.250 ohms. I'm vaping in TC mode with 75 watt power set and no preheat. The device monitor is showing the temperature quickly increasing to the set temperature with minimal overshoot and then stopping within +/- 4 F of the set temperature for the duration of the vape. So the monitored TC performance is consistent and smooth for stainless steel wire, but the coils are clearly not reaching the indicated temperature when using the Steam Engine SS316L figures. Is this 'cold' vape normal for the Lost Vape Paranormal / DNA250c or is there something wrong? Any help would be appreciated! Pete
