etab75 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 @Dragonlore the Boost Time option has gone with SP27, replace it with Boost Punch. In addition Boost Power has also gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlore Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Thanks @etab75 Yeah, I figured that out. (helps to read the changelog again). time was still showing in the list until I removed the field. So, now my question is... has anything changed in how punch works compared to previous iterations.

etab75 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) @Dragonlore I don't know the tech specs on the Boost Punch but it applies a modest "boost" (no pun intended) based on the actual power setting. I haven't really looked into it or done the maths, but a quick test revealed at 25.8W and a boost of 7, provided 31.1W (for a brief moment) and a last power reading of 27W off a 4.8s puff / 0.5Ω Kanthal single coil. Personally I don't mind the new way, but would prefer the option to have both ie boost time/power (it also meant I had to change all my themes... again!).

James Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 @etab75: I'm hoping Boost Punch works well enough with non-temperature-sensing coils that we can stick with it instead of changing things. (SP26's Boost was a first try. It was discontinuous in power, which meant you had to either use too much power near the end of the boost, or too little at the start.) I'd be curious to hear how well it works for yall, if you're using non-temperature-sensing coils. Brandon was able to use a lot of his coils quite well with a Boost Punch of 7 or 8. It should get up to temperature quickly without being glaringly noticeable, a bit like preheat (minus temperature protection). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etab75 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 @James For my needs its perfectly acceptable - I'm not a huge power user (under 30W usually) so its a smooth curve. I'd be interested to see what big hitters think, that why I was leaning towards setting a power figure rather than a specific percentage increase. But as you pointed out this is more user friendly way of getting continuous albeit short boosts, so thanks for that James! In addition If 7-8 is good for the Brandon-meister I'll stick with it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LT Rogers Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Does SomeOne Have A Link For SP27? I Did A Reboot And It Knocked Me Down To SP25, Now I Don't See Any Option To Get Back To SP26 Or SP27. Thanks For The Help In Advance!

Jeff, You need to install the International version to get SP27: "--- DNA 75 Color (firmware 1.1 SP27) ----- International Edition only:" Hope this gets you back to what you want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolmanGT Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Jeff, If you down load the international version you will get the SP27. If you down load the USA version it doesn't include the SP27. The International version updates Escribe to international and includes the firmware update SP27. Confusing - eh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truckman Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hello. Today I bought a paranormal. I connected to the computer and through escribe I made some basic settings and uploaded them to the device. So far all good. A little while ago I wanted to do some more, refuses to upload the escribe, and for anything I try to upload to my paranormal it makes the message "falled to upload settings". Why is this happening? what does not go well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Could you post or send your .ecig file? It might be a bug. Also, are you running Windows, Mac, or Linux (and if you go to Help->About EScribe, what Version?)? Does the default theme upload fine? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is this happening? what does not go well? Try other USB ports and other USB cables, I have a drawer of cables that will still charge but stopped working with data connection. I've tried expensive and cheap cables, doesn't seem to matter, it's hit or miss how long they'll last. Now I keep a couple new cables on hand so I'm not stuck without one that works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckman Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 On my efforts I removed the Kanthal A1 APM from the materials of the device and detached it, it works right now. The strange thing is that 2 hours before I loaded it worked well. In any case, I thank you for the immediate answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Green Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 When will the "Power Boost" feature for kanthal on DNA75c be avaliable for the DNA250 please ? i'm currently still using a 'Kanthal A1 APM' profile that allows "preheat punch" to be utilized on kanthal, pretty much the same thing and it works fine, but would prefer an 'official' release.

James Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 I've just posted up EScribe Suite 2.0 SP9. It contains minor fixes for DNA 250, and for DNA 60 international customers only, it supports Boost. Feedback is welcome. @Austin Green: DNA 60 is more niche so we are testing it there first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolmanGT Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) James, This new version 2.0 SP9 on a DNA 250 doesn't show Temperature Set until you tell it what temp should be and the Actual Temperature doesn't show at all. I now have two DNA 250s that do not display actual temperature in the Device monitor. Argh! My apologies to all, I was in power mode and didn't realize it then panicked when my two DNA250s didn't appear to be working. All is good with this update as far as I can tell. Really sorry James and all the folks on this forum. George Edited November 15, 2017 by HolmanGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 @HolmanGT, is your currently selected profile using Watts as a material? What you describe would square with being on a profile with Watts as a material. On monochrome DNA, Temperature Set is ? when temperature has been disabled. This is the default for Profile 5 "Power Ctrl" for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolmanGT Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 @James, I am not real sure what you are asking in regards to the max temp? Anyway, I went into such a panic mode [FacePalm] when it didn't display actual temperature I just lost it. When I couldn't discover what was wrong I posted to you about "the problem". Then went back to playing around and discovered MY ERROR. spent a couple of minutes kick myself in the butt for posting to you about the problem so quickly. James, everything is working with the DNA250s and the new firmware as I would expect it to. I did replace my sub-ohm coils running Kanthal in Watts mode with a tank using Ni-200 in TC mode and everything performed as it should in Watts and TC mode.
