twages88 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Posted July 14, 2015 Of course im gonna contact opus for repair. .im looking for any idea on why this happened?
James Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 What firmware version were you running?Did it fail while firing at 55W, or after setting it down for a bit and then trying to fire again?
twages88 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Posted July 14, 2015 Not the one released in the 9th but the one before.. (just saw that one today)..I had just picked it up and I believe it was during the preheat (set at .1s/200) ..that it blew..there was an audible pop and mod was dead
James Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 We've never had a report of this happening during firing.Send it to us. We'll take a look at the board.899 Moe Drive #21Akron, OH 44310Thanks!James
twages88 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Posted July 15, 2015 Should I not contact opus and send directly to you guys?..
DNA Papst Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Opus is a daughter manufacture from evolv ;-) (sorry for my english, because iam from germany)

Opus isn't owned by Evolv. I think people assume this because both live in Ashtabula, but it is not the case. twages, we can replace the board for you if the board failed. Mostly, it would be quicker for us to find out what went wrong.
twages88 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Posted July 15, 2015 Ok James I will send tomorrow. .and tag you on the package..I appreciate the quick response and high level of service your providing. .thank you
Brandon Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Opus is not a daughter manufacturer of Evolv. The owner of Opus (Roger) used to do some contract assembly work for us when we were still manufacturing the Darwin. After we retired the Darwin he wanted to start his own mod company. I lent him the money to start the business and helped him incorporate. He paid me back in full, a year later and I ceased having any interest in Opus. Opus is fully owned by Roger and has no ties to me or Evolv.
DNA Papst Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 thanks for the info, in germany all people think that opus is a daughter manufacturer. german are idiots ;-)
James Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 No they aren't. Be good to yourselves. It's a reasonable deduction to make from living in the same town.
Jiphone Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Brandon, a similar thing happened to my opus today, the mod powers up via USB but dies when disconnected, there is an acrid smell from the vent holes and it will not fire any atomizers. Escribe shows voltage on all three cells though. The mod was firing .o8 nickel 410 deg at 44 watts at time of death. I sent opus an email with a video and escribe recording, would you like me to forward it to evolve? Also if I should mail the unit to evolve please let me know, and how/ where. Thanks, Jeff FYI it has the latest firmware, installed last night Brandon said:Opus is not a daughter manufacturer of Evolv.

glassjaw121986 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 I just got my Opus 2 days ago and its working amazingly well. Temp control is everything I thought it should be now. I'm almost afraid of doing the update after reading these 2 posts. Don't know enough about the software to know if I should leave it alone or update it anyway? Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks
Brandon Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 Jeff, I'll send you a PM with the shipping address. It sounds like a blown fuse but the question is what is causing it? John wants them sent directly to us for post mortem. We'll replace the board and ship it right back.

Thanksglassjaw, I've have been running my DNA200 that I made myself for the last week and a half with no issues and have been running the upgraded firmware with no problems as the guys have issued updates. If these mods are popping fuses I don't think that would be anything to do with the firmware, otherwise they would be seeing lots of peeps posting dead boards.

vegabob Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 Hi I'm Bob I'm running my Opus DNA200 now just over a week I have the latest Firmware in it. Now and I'm have no issues at all

Now and I'm have no issues at all I'd have to agree with that myself too, and my device was working flawlessly with all three firmware revisions up until it stopped firing...similar to the other opus mods that have died(I know of 2 others). I'm hoping maybe it's just a clearance issue that can be fixed easily.
Wick Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 Any news on what the culprit was? So far so good with my Opus, running the latest release.
Jiphone Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 Mine arrived at Evolv today, I'm sure it will get its autopsy sometime soon. Hopefully it yields some useful information for them. Wick said:Any news on what the culprit was? So far so good with my Opus, running the latest release.
John Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 Wick yours was a clearance issue as far as we can tell. Still dissecting JiPhone's today.
