Mourakue Posted April 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hey guys, My DNA 250 in my Hammer of God DNA keeps shutting off when I press the fire button. I'll go to hit the mod, and realize no vapor is being produced, and when I look at the screen, it's shut off. When I press the fire button again, it acts like it's starting up (showing the beginning EVOLV screen), but bugs out and shuts off, shuts off completely, turns on and bugs (only to automatically shut off again), or turns back on and I'm able to hit it (usually resulting in it shutting off after a single hit). I've made sure the contacts are clean and free of juice, but I'm not sure what else to try. This happens occasionally when pressing the wattage buttons as well. It happens almost always when I try to lock the device or hit it.I've made sure the battery door is making full contact in the way it is supposed to, the atomizer is ohming properly and not fluctuating, the batteries are brand new, the device is maybe 2 weeks old (at most), and, as previously stated, the internals have no juice on them. When this occurs, the wattage usually resets itself to a wattage I was at previously. I'm really concerned because I enjoy this device very much, but this is ruining DNA for me. If anyone has any help, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I haven't seen anything anywhere else on the forum about this, but if there is something, please link it (if it has a fix). Thanks.

Spector NS5 RD Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 sounds like a classic intermittent connection. the board is receiving just enough power to boot up but when the fire button is pressed, the load is to great and breaks the connection or is asking too much from a weak connection, causing the board to reset. open Escribe's device monitor and look at the pack and each one of the cell voltages. what do they do when firing an atty? post the screenshot of DM while firing a build or at least trying to.

Mourakue Posted April 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 When firing, all cell voltages drop to 3.17, 3.23, and 3.09 respectively. It's only able to provide 165ish watts throughout firing, even though 187.5 is being requested (easily doable on a .084 build). Let me know if I can provide anymore info, or if there is a fix for this. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector NS5 RD Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 i'm guessing your "cell soft cutoff" is set to 3.09? your not getting the power you requested because the board can not draw the necessary power from the cells. therefore it reduces the power it can draw down to the point of your CSC value. it will not go past your CSC value. i would use 2.75v for 18650's. what kind of cells are you using? is this sporadic rebooting or every time you press the fire button? reboots even with freshly charged cells or charge level doesn't matter, reboots no matter what?

Mourakue Posted April 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Yes it appears to happen on fresh batteries as well, so charge doesn't seem to be an issue. They are 25R's, it happens almost every time I press the fire button. I figured 3 18650's would be able to provide the power necessary for 200 watts at least, especially on a .08...

Spector NS5 RD Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 honestly, what i would do, since it's an expensive mod, is contact the vendor and ask about a replacement. what does the battery door/compartment look like? i can not find any pictures of where the cells live.

Mourakue Posted April 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 If you've ever seen the HOG V3 door, it's almost exactly the same. I'll get in contact with them and see what they can do. Thanks for your help man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourakue Posted April 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Wow... Even at 125w it is STILL doing it... Could this be an error with the chip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector NS5 RD Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 what is you CSC set to in EScribe? if it's 3.09v, knock it down to 2.7v and upload to device.does the issue of wattage decreasing improve (even a little improvement will tell me if it's the battery door) if you put a good amount of pressure on the battery door while firing? also your cells need to be charged, they're almost at the end.

Mourakue Posted April 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 That was on freshly charged cells... It isn't the battery door, I already made sure that wasn't it. Trying CSC setting now, it was at 3.09.Edit: Thought that fixed it, I was able to hit it a couple times, but it is still sporadically shutting off. A lot.
