windxrunner Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Has anyone changed their Cell Soft Cut Off value? Mine came stock at 3.09v and I was wondering if it was safe to bring it down to 2.9 or 3v. Would that be a lot harder on the cell? Would the added battery life be that noticeable and would the reduced cycle life be worth it in your guys' opinions? I'm using the FullyMax 900mAh 3s LiPo pack btw. What is the Hard Cut Off set at?[Edited for typos] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 IIRC the board has a hard cut-off at 3 V so that would be the min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hard is actually 2.85. There's very little extra energy below 3.1, you'd be talking a few minutes extra run time at most, and you'll lose maybe 10% of your usable charge cycles. Whether that trade-off is worth it is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windxrunner Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Alright thanks, that answered my question. I'll leave it at 3.09v, then! Would it increase my usable charge cycles by much to increase it to 3.2v? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 If you want to increase cell life, you are better off switching from "Maximize Puffs" to "Maximize Recharges." That will double your cell life at a cost of about 14% run time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windxrunner Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Will the 14% reduction in run time be the only noticeable difference? Also, where in Escribe can I find this setting? Thanks, John! You are a true wizard! I LOVE every board you've come out with (aside from the DNA12, I haven't tried it but I'm sure it was amazing)!

VapingBad Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 As it comes off the top end of the voltage it will make no other difference, batteries have a harder time at the bottom end.The setting is on the Mod Tab - Charging Mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 If you've used a Kick 1 you've used a DNA 12. Same board, different shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danial Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 hi there, it's something new to me having a lipo in my vape mod. i just purchased a lost vape efusion with a dna 200 chip in it. i assumed it uses a fullymax 1300mah 3s lipo battery. as a rc modeller, i have used some lipo batteries in the past few years. as what i know, if to keep the lipo battery life cycle longer, it's best not to discharge the battery below 3.8v.. so it's quite an unusual thing for me to see the preset softcut value at 3.09v.. i have set mine to 3.8v.. am i doing this wrongly? please share your knowledge with me.. regards, danial.

bmclaurin Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Setting it at 3.8v is way too high. It won't do any harm, but that's like buying a car with a 20-gallon tank and putting a chip in it that won't allow it to use the last 10 gallons of gas left in the tank. :/ The LVC is a compromise between runtime and longevity. For RC, particularly when you're using 14S 5000 mah packs that cost $200+, you're taking a bigger (but calculated) risk with a low-ish LVC's, which is why most RC'ers (myself included) like to consume no more than ~80% of the pack's actual capacity. But with much less expensive packs that are suitable for vaping, I am perfectly comfortable sacrificing a small amount of longevity for some extra runtime. The eVolv default of 3.09v is a good compromise IMO. But if you're concerned with that and want to preserve some more longevity from your packs, raise it up a bit, but maybe to around 3.2-3.3v (or even 3.4v if you're so inclined), not anything nearly as high as 3.8v IMO.

danial Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Thanks bmclaurin.. I would try to play around with the value.. Thanks again for sharing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojomo Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I have recently added a 1300mah battery to my Tuglyfe DNA250 device. I have run the Watt-Hour Calculator and I entered my battery setting (1300mah). My device charges to 2% then drops down to 0%. After I received my mod with it's brand new battery installed, I plugged it in and charged to 100%. I then vaped for a bit, after a short while it said "check battery" and dropped down to 0%. Am I doing something wrong??? Please help! Edited January 25, 2018 by Mojomo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
