[Hadron Pro - 1.1 SP33 US/INT to SP45 INT...irreversible changes?/]

Thanks for the fast reply, perhaps the timer update is locked once upgraded?

yes, its was supplied with SP33  and is recommended - but it's tiny.

Nothing in the manual besides disconnecting when out of use long term to prevent total discharge on idle

[Hadron Pro - 1.1 SP33 US/INT to SP45 INT...irreversible changes?/]

After 12 months without a big DNA mod Black Friday reared it's head and I picked up a Hadron Pro for £90 / $120.

Read the instruction manual, connected to Escribe. Made sure that the power pack was charging evenly on device manager and waited patiently for 1A charge.

The first full charge ldropped to 50% after 12 hours at 50w. Ii'm happy my dual 18650/21700s mods would be on the second or third set by then.

So....checked the cells again and recharged on a 2A plug in,

Curiosity got the better of me and I made the golden error? of updating the firmware.to SP45 INT.

No idea what the difference is between the two as I  can't find a listing but battery drop has increased...EDIT minus.5% overnight

Then on the next charge I read the very small print on the side plate....not just a battery safety warning.

Use Firmware 1.1SP33 TO save battery life with less idle discharge. This firmware is preferred for battery longevity

So I reset the firmware and battery drop is still  faster 2-5%.

I remember a few years ago I updated a DNA 200 and there was a universal update that changed the core settings and couldn't be reversed ...is this the same?

 

 

[Think Vape Finder DNA250C issues]

Hi VB.

The attty 510 screws and positive posts are clean and tight, one of the first things I checked. I've got 5 of them in clean rotation  and spare decks., Other DNA mods read the slightly higher resistance with the same atomisers.  My thought is that the initial base reading being false is confusing the mod ie ; in TC the 'true' res is already over the dynamic throttle point.

Cant work out why its lagging/misfiring  in power mode too, only pulling 12A

BTW There's no need for boost and preheat is disabled so TC isn't overheating and throttling too quickly,

or cockpit trouble? ... just kidding😊........ but I like to vape simple and only use throw away coils and Notch Coils.... been through the gambit in the 9 years I've been vaping and we each should vape what and how we like... and should hesitate throwing barbs like "  PITFA nanny/safety feature for newbs who simply screw in a new throwaway coil and never learnt to check new builds for shorts on a tester" .... surely you were jesting.....

Hope you get it figured out..... 😊

 

lol I don't ask for help or cry foul if I haven't gone over and over the problem. Very true...often it is the idjut with the finger on the button.

Many a true word said in jest, I was a 'newb' made mistakes but sometimes safety features can be a little over protective?

Been vaping coming up for six years, passsed the 'bug' through the family. Also appear to be the only one that can be bothered to make his own coils and doesn't walk around with loose batteries in his pocket

The colour boards operate differently compared to the non colour boards. After working out hotspots, etc. as I already said, re-read the atty while on the mod (Kanthal/NiCr). How much of a lower resistance and what kind of atty with that NiCr coil? I'm hoping you're checking stability using 'Atomizer Analyzer'?

What do you mean it lags?

What version of firmware is on your mod?

PS It's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff in your posts. And that was four (4) questions I asked.

I'm full of chaff 🤣perhaps you should drop the bold type, its condescending and instead of Hello or I'm sorry I don't understand your post....simply open with:

yes I use the Atomiser Analyzer and a nice big chunk of threaded copper to check the internal resistance

Steamcrave V2, new decks tried, new screws, clean 510

between 0.06 and 0.09, so maybe 20-25% of the displayed resistance?

lags, hesitates, is slow to fire, like having flat batteries  or the wrong resistance locked in. Shall I ....um.....errr.........fire?  FIRE!

As previously said it reminds me of the V1 software on the Evic mini, there was a widespread issue where the mod wouldn't hold a constant base resistance. Hot-cold firing. Vigorously denied / ignored by Joyetech of course.

Each time I've had a play with the mod I've uploaded the latest version offered by E-scribe.  Currently 1.1 V38 international

YOU need to read and set the resistance in each profile you're using that coil. New coil, or not

That alone might fix the majority of your issues.

 as I said   'it reads under on resistance, constantly but won't register the correct res even if the atty is removed and re-set.'

yes I get that bit, you have to confirm the resistance of each coil new or old; unlike the DNA200 which  usually automatically reads and sets the base resistance if its within the pre-defined % perameter. Also  if you fire-remove the atty,  put the warm TC coil back on the DNA200  you're asked new/old.

The TVF 250/300C doesn't appear to allow any deviation, burn and pinch  in a Kanthal or NiChrome coil and when the resistance changes...it asks new or old resistance.

Must be a PITFA nanny/safety feature for newbs who simply screw in a new throwaway coil and never learnt to check new builds for shorts on a tester?

But my issue is that it lags, compared to other DNAs it reads a lower resistance AND appears to waver AS IF it cant differentiate between actual and displayed. A base resistance error?

Escribe shows no atomiser instability, theres no unbalanced sag under load, coils are twisted .30 ( 0.23 ohm SS316 & 0.35 ohm NiCr ) so not super low or overly heavy.

So ? Weak solder..loose earth.... iffy fire button..  510?...software...board? A dismal mod?

 

[Think Vape Finder DNA250C issues]

I bought one last year after my Realeaux died, can't say that I was taken by the screen, menu, changes to the accessibility of e-scribe and the way that (this  particular mod at least) the new/old  coil recognition made burning in a Kanthal/Ni-Chr coil so damned difficult.

A few hours on escribe and at best its certainly nowhere near as good as the 200 it was supposed to replace.

So two more of my old dna200s have since died and I'm back to using this POS,the issues ...

it reads under on resistance, constantly but won't register the correct res even if the atty is removed and re-set.

it lags, even in boost it'll show resistance, power setting but no voltage : it ttakes a couple of presses to get it firing. Kanthal or TC,  reminds me of the vtc-minis inability to set its base resistance .

Batteries are new K-sony vtc-5s, battery profile was set, 510 is clean

Earth-negative issues  or really truly a bad mod and strangled board?

[removing dead lipo]

many thanks👍

[removing dead lipo]

I have a Simeyue DNA200 that has a dead #2 cell, the fuse looks ok and apart from a 'service warranty. message that hasn't popped up since it appears to be ok on escribe

its soldered in so cutting the wires.....which one first?

Positve? Negative?.....charge balance?

will need to find a new cell with connectors that fits in the enclosure and maybe a tap......but otherwise I'm hoping that I can get this back up and running

 

cheers Steve
