DNA 60 Issues

[Austin]

I bought the Vaposhark rDNA 60 a couple of weeks ago and am having some trouble getting it to work right. Set up for 316 SS, it starts off well, but after a little while it starts to get really weak.  I've read on here about refinement and the resistance lock, but it seems to me that the temp control isn't working correctly. If I set up for 370 degrees, after refinement I'm hardly getting anythiong out of it. I've read that I should turn up the temperature setting to get the vape I want out of it, but doesn't that negate the point of having the DNA board? 

 

I guess the short question is: 

Is the initial vape I get when I first screw the atty on actually 370 degrees or is the super weak vape actually 370 degrees? I keep reading that these are extremely accurate, but it seems to me that one is WAY off from the other.

 

Thanks

I usually only vape in TC and with the temp so low, it could be hitting the ceiling backing down the power equaling a softer hit.  I just got my DNA board and it's not in an enclosure yet but my yihi chips I set 50-60joules / watts at ~400-450F

it's normal to up the temp after refinement has done it's thing.    (before refinement) just think of it as......when you initially screw on your atty and you set your temp limit to "370F", you're more than likely 50F - 80F (estimating) above 370F.       after refinement (now a more accurate, lower base resistance), you're actually vaping at 370F, which is too cool of a vape for you. upping your temp after refinement does negate the point of having any board with refinement. the board is working exactly as it was designed. temp control on these boards, in terms of accuracy and repeatability is the cat's pajamas.
