Hi there, I recently got dna250c Finder and it spotted weird behavior while working in temp control. Sometimes it ramps up just fine, sometimes it shows "Temp protect" and after this message the power instantly cuts off (as when you stop pressing the button, graphs look just like that). I tried two tanks (vgod elite rdta and reload rta) with various SS316 (vandyvapes/geekvapes/xkfm) builds in range from 0.09 Ohm to 0.40 Ohm - always the same, meanwhile older paranormal 166 works normally in tc with the same builds. Is it common problem with 250c? Are there any ideas what to tweak to fix it? Regards

Does cell 1 look odd or does it drop like this when plugged in... shown here before, during and after 2 puffs taken. Paranormal 250c. New married VTC5D rewaps in prime condition. Changed my theme today to a current release of one I have been enjoying and the CHECK BATTERY message has prevented firing at least 8 times in as many hours. Fixes itself after one press of the fire button but seems abnormal. I recorded the diagnostic and even there the manner cell 1 & 2 are reading seems inconsistent to me. Suggestions? cell1dropweird.csv

Triade dna250c, case analyzer, device still charging at 0.001- 0.009 amps when i run case analyzer its showing my mod still charging at 0.001- 0.009amps.the battery is at 25% an left sitting for a few hours before running the test.i have tried a firmware update, soft and hard reboots, disabling usb charging. i have checked the battery profile, its ok.i have NEW (LG HG2 batteries)LINK to batteries https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0674/3651/files/lg-hg2-spec-sheet.pdfI have looked online for hours for a fix but no fix, just other people with the same problem. But there is no information on how they resolved the issue.can you please help me fix thisthanks I have lodged a ticket and so far there has been no help this is the reply I got. (Your battery needs to be fully charged before starting the test. Additionally, I would let the device sit for and hour or so before starting the test) I don't think anyone actually read my ticket!

Hi guys, im looking to find some help on a few issues with my lost vape triade dna250c project sub ohm edition. First and biggest issue the error message i get several times a day. White screen that says Error Press Up. Sometimes it happens when the screen turns off, sometimes it does it inbetween puffs, does it when i update it or try to change the theme. Each time it makes me unlock the device again. Ive reset it back to the default theme and still does it, also my replay function is wonky.. I can change it to replay but i cant hit the save button. Also earlier it went to black screen and wouldnt turn on again until i popped a battery out.. Ive only had the thing for 2 weeks and i did upgrade to the sp35. I did see the soft and hard reset options on escribe but wasnt sure what they do, so would one of these reset the entire chip back to factory? Firmware and all?

So, I've had my paranormal for a while and I've never been able to get the TC mode or replay to work properly. What I mean is, I cant get decent vape off of it with any TC wire. The replay function works, but the vape I get from the device is weak. Occasionally, I'll get a decent vape, go to set replay and its weak again. I've recently bought another TC mod and tried my builds on that. They work beautifully. Is there something wrong with my board or have I been doing something wrong from the start? Also, how can I delete my puff recordings from memory? I really dont need 11K+ recorded puffs. Tried reset but it didn't do anything. That just recorded that I had reset my device 8 times...

Hello everyone, does anyone know where I can set the time for display timeout ? (if there is a display timeout setting) thank you

Alright. So I 'read' the manual. And I googled around for a while hunting down others voltage issues but everything I find is battery related... I think my case might be a little more specific. So let me preface this by saying i like to tinker. So decisions were made to ensure that I could change things around often. This should take care of things liked "dude that is a-lot of wire" and "Why in the f**k do you need a terminal strip". Since I am also a fan of over-building everything we can avoid things like "Bro; but it's barely 4 amps!" or even the occasional "you can get cheaper better built ones online". It's just a simple passthrough box (screenshots attached) with a terminal strip to terminate all connections. Easy to take apart and put back together and modify. This is far from its final form, just a proof. I'm coming over from a GENE chip (the drag) because it's time to leave batteries behind. I got the 250c because I can't help myself, easy enough to justify with a "just in case" --right? I got the giant case because I have big clumsy hands and limited to moderate patience when the lower back starts to ache from hunching over to work on tiny things in smaller places. The power supply is a genuine Meanwell LRS-150. Will be connected to a LRS-350 for the full 30 amps when in final use. So that I can use all of 45 of those 350 watts... That out of the way lets talk about 9.38 volts. And why the DNA chip seems to think that's what its getting. * Plug in brand new chip. Apply 12.25v. * Plug in USB (5v). * Download and push latest firmware and reset * Generate custom material profile based on COMPLETELY TRUSTWORTHY(tm) Reddit information. (screenshot attached) --- TC/r value. To: 0.00240 --- Temp sensing (of course) * Set the custom values in the profile. (Screenshot attached) --- 45 watts --- No preheat --- Temp cap 525 --- No replay --- Locked resistance based on new coil 24 hours at room temp. * Push to device * Satisfaction (until i check the diagnostics) Wiring is 2 runs of 16 gauge for power and ground from the PSU to the block. I would love to have used 2 runs of 12 but the aviation connectors wouldn't have it. Speakon for V2 if this proof of concept works. 12 gauge for everything else. Seriously disappointed in the stock pad-soldering solution for a supposed 400 watts. That's it really. Thing performs flawlessly at these settings and feels exactly like my GENE chips at the same (converted) settings. I just don't understand why the chip is reading 9.38 volts. Doesn't behave like its under powered, still need to get my shunt and ammeter in the loop to see whats up in that regard. I understand every time you add a link in the chain, another connection, another length of wire, another terminal and so on you add resistance which can effect voltage at high power levels. I scuff-buff-n-clean all my connection points and solder joints. Clean all conformal coating off and pre-tin the pads and wires. I also fully admit I solder with the dexterity of a ham-fisted gorilla on methamphetamine. I have tested every link in the chain repeatedly with a multitude of multiple multi meters and displays of varying known offsets. I know beyond a shadow of the doubt I had the 3rd time I de-soldered EVERYTHING and re-soldered it; those pads are absolutely mechanically and electrically connected. Thanks in advance. Hope I just dun-goofd' a setting somewhere. I'm worried I cooked it during some of that professional soldering..... Had fun writing this up and getting the screen shots though 😉 -Crit (bonus points for why it thinks it has 3 cells when i didn't even so much as solder on the connector)

Greetings fellow vapers! I've been looking into building my own mod, woodwork powered by DNA250c, but with pretty much everything sorted, I've run into one major setback. Can't figure out wiring for a single battery device. The 250c data sheet has 2s, 3s, 4s wiring printed out, but no mention about single cell setup. Does the mean 250c can't run on a single battery? Or am I missing something? Cheers edit: typos
