anyone seen this ? this is on a hardly used Drone. the black spot is so even its like i tried to draw a perfect oval thanx

update. i now also have a Primo Titanium 21650. it does the same thing. i heard that Titanium is a poor conductor. that may be it.

update. i used electrical cleaner. it helped, i think. the chip is not flickering like it was. but, it is still dim. that is until now, it just quit working. i still think the connection is bad. but when i had the mod apart, i was afraid to unhook the screen. now, i wish i had. i am going to order a new chip and screen. as the mod is way worth the $55. this is what i did. the wood that you see, i made that from a block. the buttons also.

i'm not done with this topic. but i have another ? for now. DNA40, why no place for this ? bastard child chip ? i just got 1 in a BB and looking for info on it.

thanx. i find it odd electrical contact cleaner is not mentioned.

yes, i am using it now, and plan to more.

if a chip got juice all on it, and probably gunked up, idk yet. how should it be cleaned ? the screen also. the chip will be exposed. also. does Evolv warranty chips of a non original owner ? thanx

thanx can this chip be used with 1 or 2 batteries ? it came out of a 3 battery mod. and can it be powered up with just a USB ? just to show proof of life.

hello I while ago I asked about dimensions for a DNA75, that project fell to the wayside. now I am considering a DNA200 chip of my dead DotMod lipo box. the 75 would fit. but idk about the 200. I forgot where to get the 200 sceps. thanx

that is one reason why I think they are coming out with a new chip. to get the sales while they can. this would be wise business. they will survive, I am going to guess that the US is about 1/2 their sales. but they sure will take a hit.

THANX ! I have a block of stab coming. I am thinking about making a mod.

anyone know where to get these ?

they are not going to tell pretty much anyone.

yes, it's tight. loosening the cap is working, and working well. just turned back just a little. and I now have it at 65w with boost on. I think there may be a bure or something in there.

ok, I just tried it. still gets hot. but, I loosed the cap just as little, and it didn't get hot. but I still have to test it some more.

I have not tried it yet, will soon.

the battery is convex, so only a very small contact is made, I can see it. I have a lathe, so I made the contact on the cap concave.. also, I don't "know" how the copper contact is attached to the cap. if they didn't do it right = high resistance = high heat. I am thinking to silver solder around the outside. Mooch, yeah, I know = fakes. …. ok, so, I can run this mod with a known good 18650 ? I can make a sleeve very easy. ok, I will check soon. thanx

that's what I did, I didn't know they were called ramps. I know I am the 2nd owner, I know the 1st owner well, online at least. and I may be the 3rd, or more, who really knows. I wonder if VA would tell me who they sold it to, hmmm.

not necessarily. if the foam/whatever was form fitted to behind the buttons.

ok, I just cleaned where the cap touchs the bottom, it was dirty. it better now, but not good. perhaps good enough, I will have to use it more to see. one thing I have noticed. the batt neg is convex, the cap contact is flat = very little contact.

this can is not threaded, it is push and turn. the battery does not get hot at all. I took a good hit, cap was hot. I took out the battery in like 1 second, and it was room temp right on the contact. I am not a battery pro at all. but this battery is 40+ amp =seems plenty. but what do I know. and I don't need to vape at 75w, mostly 55-60. other than the heat the mod works just fine.

oh. if it says "watt boost" in the settings, then it has the firmware for it ?

ok, that's what I thought on both counts. the reason I ask. I have a Visious Ant Primo Titanium 26650. when using it at 50w, the battery cap gets momentarily hot, enough to startle. VA says this normal ! I'm like, NO, ITS NOT! but it seems to be for this mod. as the cap was poorly designed. VA and the guy I got it from tell me to run it at 40w and high resistance coil = bull chit. I am thinking of a fix. otherwise it is what it is.

DNA75c. can this chip be used at 75W ? and I thought I remembered reading something about it have a boost to 100w, what's up with this ? thanx

I bet there is some kind of foam or something behind the buttons causing the issue.
