YES, yes I do find that odd, but also, you spent $9,200 on DNA MODs but can only use 1 at a time and they have low/difficult resale is also odd. you probably don't usb charge them though, maybe it's that but that's why I bought DNAs to safely usb when there's more than 1 battery. I used only UL branded quality usb adapter and cables , we went through all these possibilities all the other threads I made and trying to reset fix with escribe but there's no clear solution, could be that fuse.

probably this stupid cheap fuse to save like 12 cents on manufacturing costs, only $15 to replace and I do have soldering setup but I just don't want to deal with this and I know it'll just fry again and again! https://www.ebay.com/itm/192415625445?hash=item2cccdd70e5:g:tzsAAOSwNMVabTtH&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoLFYZsL6Tj4oKoHd%2FvasImmJwq%2FK%2BhVqviawptbrNAC%2BQJ0xJSmpdH%2BmVy%2F2j%2BPmStgyfWa8vnD1hH5O01IwqEeCkkG3WG4eceSqHouZzTWCONc6KqTx6hSLJHHKoOWAfZos4itvPcM4KyHukDAeL2uB%2FgTJPdH9k%2FWbaMf1tJnM%2F2ERl3%2Fo0CPCP8JqDTHUf%2FfumdhQg1rqdpd4CzaVB48%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6SKjLbzYA Evolv DNA 200 Fuse (Internal Fuse Only Not Board) Price: US $15.00 The Wismick Releaux DNA 200, especially, has a known problem of randomly blowing these fuses. This will be evident by the unit not powering up on batteries but fine via USB connection. You can use a volt meter to do a simple continuity check of the old fuse on the board (Google continuity check) and to verify the new fuse before and after soldering. If you view "DNA 200/133 fried fuse replacement" on YouTube you will be starting the right direction. I am not the owner nor affiliated with that video. I wanted to record mine but did not have a technical enough camera setup.

check my previous posts of all the mind Fs these stupid stupid DNA mods have caused, unexplainably bricked mod after bricked mod, was able to warranty some even after 1 year and tech had no explanation how they temporarily fixed some previous ones which bricked again and just colleting dust because I can't really sell them online or for much of what paid, If I keep buying DNA I'll be down $1,000. maybe something can be done in escribe but we already went through that here plenty of times and they keep bricking, one tech was able to warranty and fix it for a bit but it just breaks again. I simply vape small coils of kanthal on low wattage watts mode. i give up on your brand hopefully but might be tempted to 'safely usb charge multi cell mod' if I also get a larger dual/triple cell mod but I think I'll be fine with other brand single cell mods and I prefer small mods anyway, been vaping since 2012 ego spinners and stuff which btw gave way less/no problems compared to DNA, heck I even vaped a dangerous recalled smoktech Groove mod for over a year until the battery pack gave up as it does, I just dislike removing batteries, only reason i really bought DNA was to 'safely USB charge multiple cell mods', and I use all genuine batteries and was told it's not the USB charging although one previous mod I was told here the charging circuit probably just gave out. now my fav vt75 nano just doesn't work, have to do the 'USB from computer wakes it up' trick and then it just bricks again, I been smoking cigarettes instead for a while partially from DNA mods keep giving me problems, but now getting a different brand mod single cell should be safe to USB charge when just 1 cell but yes I confirmed on external xstar chargers and escribe etc that DNA evenly charges multi cell mods (and safely discharges them which is just as important for example if get some cheap sketchy foreign multi cell mod and safely charge cells in quality external it still should evenly discharge the cells as it uses up the power. wismec reuleaux dna200 hcigar vt250s dna 200 lostvape triad DNA250C vt75 nano DNA75 all bricked, and finicky when they did work.

I left the MOD just sitting since making these posts couple months ago. Just now put the 3 pink 18650s and it's working. %67 battery. I downloaded the escribe old version 1.2 but it doesn't find the MOD. I plug USB and usually it pops up but even if I click Connect And Dowload settings, it says nothing is connected. I downlaoded the newer escribe and it found the MOD. Here's the screenshot. Wayne correct, the rep didn't reply in ticket or anything like 'no fault found'. I got the mod back in the mail and was surprised there was no follow up, that's why I asked if they remembered if it was fixed or what. dwcraig, excellent find if that's the reason. I agree it looks like the positive terminals on this MOD are too wide which might bypass the positive nipple of the pink batteries which don't even stick out. ------------------------------------------- When i got it back from evolv, I was able to get it to wake up using the computer USB. I got it to vape after that (unsure if it was USB plugged or not) but I took the cells out for a couple days (afraid to leave it unattended with cells in it), and then it was back showing 4% battery (fully charged all 3 externally) and nothing worked. A few day passed, I put the cells back in and it worked fine. I vaped it maybe 50 puffs over a few days, left it a couple days just sitting there and then it wasn't working again, usb woke it up, 'clock error' but it won't vape, unplugged USB and it won't wake up. It seems there's some sort of action that needs to reset it once this happens which might be from the one of the cells not touching the + terminal?

Don't even know what that is. I use watts simple mode only. JOHN, what would battery door have to do with anything? Just contact issue as if it helps press the battery up? My ThinkVape Finder 250c triple 18650, the battery door does nothing in terms of battery contact, and cells are nice and snug and mod was never dropped and not used much. THIS I just messaged to evolv. Maybe this MOD goes as-is into the pile of stuff to sell online? hi, got the mod back the other day, just trying to use it, wondering if you remember if it's fixed or bricked? when I put 3 genuine pink 3000mAh 3.7V 18650s in the mod, nothing happens when press fire. Plug to USB computer it says CLOCK ERROR CLOCK ERROR and like before always shows %4 battery even with fully charged cells. Escribe just picked it up unlike before you worked on it, so maybe I'll try resetting it in there? Any suggestion best way to reset in escribe?Press fire nothing happensPlug to USB and it turns on: CLOCK ERROR CLOCK ERROR %4Press fire 5x to unlock , press fire again it says CHECK BATTERYmaybe it's the batteries? I don't have spare but can order right now.

good news cigarette juice, they sort of approved again my out-of-date warranty request but I'm paying shipping to and possibly fro just to hopefully learn what is going on, I hope their techs are interested too. They said they don't have boards to replace it anyway (no more 250Cs?), also said something like: _____________________________________ _ 'We haven't had any widespread issue with boards bricking, so something you are doing is causing this. I would be happy to look at the device, but due to lack of boards I cannot repair or replace the board in this device because it is out of warranty' _____________________________________ _ I guess it's good that they haven't have widespread bricking issues but really I can't see what I've done wrong for several MODS that just decide to stop working. Also asked what I'm using for cords which is a good question but I have pretty much always been paranoid about e cigs and only use UL listed (safe) wall adapters, the usb are just non brand ebay chinese data/power cables though. For PC I have a TekRepublic TUH-3710 $50 (actually not ~$16 amazon/ebay commonly) USB 3 power hub w gold certified PSU. Nitecore external charges too which are supposed to be safe but I've had one of these brick and an xtar also and barely used them.

WAyne, the problem linked above , no, it doesn't get detected when escribe is open, It does nothing no matter what I try plugging it into or pressing. I opened a claim and will see from there. Worst case scenario is I sell it as-is and get a dual 21700. I think evolv would like to have a look at it though to see what they did wrong with their repair. Another one they returned to me started bugging too soon after I got it back.

I always USB charge my MODS, that's basically the only reason why I spend for the DNA MODs because they do safely USB charge multiple cell MODS but they keep bricking on me. I been through like 5 different MODs that all bricked. This current ThinkVape Finder 250c triple 18650 barely worked for me. It was dead on arrival from etopfun and I had to warranty it to Evolv who sent it back and it quickly bricked again and won't turn on as described in the link. I'm hoping to get it warranty'd again even though it's past 12 months but if I do get it back , I'll probably sell it because I don't trust it'll last like previous ones that were warranty'd and then broke again. I don't know what I could be doing wrong to cause this. I have very low wattage on single coil mostly, not high heat, never dropped mod or got it wet or anything like that. All wiring looks fine inside the mod. Someone said the charging chip on the board frys. I don't leave them in too long after fully charged or anything like that. The only DNA that has held up is my non color DNA75. But I want also a bigger MOD for bigger tanks. Maybe it's just some factor I don't know but hopefully if I just buy the same MOD as someone else that has been using 250C with triple 18650 cells and never had a problem? No leather wrapped MODs though please. Any suggestions for MODs?

Make/Model of Device (ie EFusion DNA200): DNA250C Manufacturer of Device (N/A if board only): Thinkvape Finder Message: thinkvape finder 250c bought from efun.top with paypal about a month ago received DOA. this dna250c is not turning on with known-good cells. Plug it into usb gives CLOCK ERROR CLOCK ERROR 4% battery, Tried holding all button configurations, firing 20X etc does not turn on without USB but then can't even use it with %100 charged cells says 4% and only lets you cycle through kanthal/watts/replay etc then, giving Check Battery when I fire, it only turns on if USB connected. I reset to default escribe. escribe is set to 3 cell and all 3 show 0.00V. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ apparently this MOD was already serviced by warranty around Sept 2019 when I bought it from etopfun it was received dead on arrival. I barely used it at all since getting it back from evolv. I'll try to see if they can do something about this POS.

thanks but plugging it in without batteries did nothing. I opened the whole thing and it's clean and all wiring looks fine. As I'm smoking a cigarette, anyone know of any other brands that are dual/triple 18650 that I can safely USB charge?! I'm sick of these DNAs breaking, this is like the 5th one. I'll give it a shot if evolv will warranty this , they did it last time with a HCigar VT250s DNA200 which broke again or something and I had to resell it and hoped the DNA250C newest version would solve this BS.

any suggestion how to actually fix this? I didn't disassemble yet and unsure what that would accomplish, or which if any cleaner would be safe, mass air flow sensor cleaner for cars? electronics cleaner spray? % isopropyl?. Wasn't dropped and doubt will find something disconnected. Remember, plug into PC USB doesn't wake it up, so I can't do anything in eSCribe

yes, I tried doing Lost Password and have it emailed to me but the email I used for that account is expired, stupid mail.com (and pretty much every other email service these days) auto deletes accounts if not logged into for 6 months. The email I used for all my e cig forum stuff (vaping underground forum etc) was a burner email I made just to create accounts and I never logged back in - this is stupid in case someone is sick for a few months or something like that or goes on a long vacation or something they could loose their very important bank email or something like that, and one can beg for the account to be re opened but they'll keep saying there's nothing they can do. anyways, I guess next is I'll try opening the mod and cleaning with a tiny bit of gentle electronics cleaner? I have a whole bunch of micro USB-to-USB chargers, some are barely used and not compromised, and I use only UL listed wall adapters (UL and sorta CE are the reliable ones, kinda hard to buy separately on ebay/amazon compared to the popular cheaper ones that could potentially over power what they're supposed to do or cause fires etc.

maybe it's because I USB charge them? I asked that with my older account , but this one won't even turn on. It turned on fine the other day, said like %4 battery life, I plugged it in USB it light up, wasn't sure if I could see the little charging lightning bolt symbol in the battery box but then after that it hasn't turned on again. I didn't leak juice into it that I know of, especially since last plugging it in there wasn't even a tank on it and it's been just sitting on a shelf with no tank on it for months before this, in a cool room. Bill, that's a neat magnetic charger piece, I think I need one for my cell phone is sorta starting to go. The port on the mod seems fine, and I charged the cells to %100 in externals, but as mentioned sometimes it still needs the USB plug to wake it up so maybe the USB port IS dead.

you guys make like the worst MODs. I've had Chinese clones for $18 that were more reliable. 4 of of the ~5 DNA mods I bought have BRICKED in no time, about 9-13 months and I don't use them much or abuse them or vape high temperatures etc, had to warranty all of them. I made many threads for help here (w another account lost log in info when windows 8.1 machine crashed). This one now have barely used in the past year, a ThinkVape Finder 250c triple 18650. The only one that hasn't given me problems is my original DNA 75 HCigar VTC nano. This problem has happened before: batteries have power but press the buttons and nothing lights up, not in stealth mode either. Sometimes plugging the USB in wakes it up and the problem goes away for a while. This one will not. Warranty ran out a while ago but I've had evolv grant warranty for expired MODs before thankfully. The ONLY reason I really buy DNA is because I can safely USB charge them, I dislike having to remove batteries and charge separately. I fully charged these 3 genuine pink 18650s in a nitecore charger and it still won't wake up. I do appreciate small tweaks in escribe but these DNAs have been a problem, stick to making potato light bulb projects or something. Any suggestions to try and wake this mode up? thanks
