Dustie Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Hi there, First timer on the DNA chips, not sure if it's me doing something wrong but I can't get anything to work. Coil (mesh) - Brand new fresh mesh coil, resistance varies between 0.21 and 0.33, and changes every time I press fire (it asks me if I've installed a coil over and over). Replay - Seems to let me hit it at first, the replay button is missing most of the time, when I am able to choose replay puff it stops hitting until I cancel, it says "check atty". If I cancel it will go back to firing. Temp control - I'm using SS316. Any time I try to fire with it, I get a temp protect warning. If anyone could help me that would be great before I get my money back! Edited July 23, 2021 by Dustie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustie Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I looked at Atomizer Analyzer on Escribe as another post recommended, it fluctuates wildly from as low as 0.27 up to 0.33. I've tried it with multiple tanks, the other tank is less of a fluctuation (0.580 to 0.585) but still fluctuating a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMK Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hello first, the resistance fluctuates with temperature-sensitive material (ss316) is normal - it only enables temperature-controlled vaping and operation with the replay function. It is important that you let the coil or mesh cool down to room temperature after annealing and only then measure the resistance exactly once. It is essential to wait before taking another measurement. Even with the short measurement, there is minimal heating, so that the result increases continuously with measurements in short succession. So measure 1x after cooling down and then there should be no problems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So measure 1x after cooling down and then there should be no problems. Is such a high range of resistance normal though (from 0.2 to 0.3) and so often changing? I have tested with another additional atomizer, the fluctuations are less but still moving. I'm not sure how I can measure it only once as it is always asking me over and over to accept a new resistance level. The mesh was also at room temperature when I installed it at first, since I made a completely fresh build to begin with, this made no difference. At the moment even with a fresh coil it's unable to fire (check atomizer, temp protect warning) on any setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMK Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I have no specific experience with mesh, but with wires made of SS316 a temperature-related change in resistance from 0.2 ohms to 0.3 ohms is no cause for concern 😉 If the mod asks you about the "new" coil and you are sure that it is at room temperature at this moment - what happens if you confirm this query with "Yes"?

CMK Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 A well-known "problem" is the profile change with a warm / hot coil; the DNA chip compares the resistance of the coil with the data stored in the profile. If you now change to a profile with a hot SS316 coil, where this coil is already (cold) stored, the chip will not recognize the coil and ask whether a new coil is available. Confirming "no, use old settings" should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustie Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hmm ok, thanks. I tried another SS316L and it seemed to have less problems, but still won't fire properly. If I say yes it appears to change it, then immediately asks me again when I try to fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustie Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Using "no use old" does keep the resistance, but then it still doesn't fire (it says temp protect). Also now I tried to lock the resistance using Escribe, and the temperature has vanished from the SS316 profile (it shows nothing).

CMK Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 A screenshot of the puff analysis with Escribe might be helpful; the error message can have various causes. (Out of curiosity and to be able to rule out unwanted behavior - do you use the original theme or a custom theme? If custom theme: which one?)

Dustie Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Sure, a puff analysis under which setting? From what I saw earlier, there is a huge spike suddenly. It's the original theme that came with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMK Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 The moment a temperature-sensitive material is selected, the temperature monitoring is active; even if the TC mode itself is not yet activated. If the temperature calculated (based on the change in resistance) is higher than the stored limit value at high power, the chipset switches off with the error message "Temp protect". So only anneal with material "Watt", otherwise with the error message first turn down the power (start at 25 watts and keep looking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really good - there have been too many problems with TC / Replay in the recent past, which were at least partly due to a custom theme.

Dustie Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Also I'm afraid I can't give you a puff analysis, nothing happens on the device monitor, all the lines stay flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustie Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 OK, I tried a different atomizer, and after a lot of messing around I got something that works with the different one. I think it might be a bad combination of the device and my atomizer being broken. Issues I still have are "replay" mode not offering me the chance to replay in any of the settings.

Then it seems to me that there is a fundamental problem with the atty and / or the mesh. At that point I'm out with remote diagnosis, sorry.

Dustie Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I understand, thank you for your help anyway, I'll just return it to the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMK Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 In any case, ask for advice there - if it's a "real" shop ... I am still counting on a setting problem, faulty boards with the appearance described are more the exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is normal, and your mesh should be more like this when it's clamped down properly. I'd suggest you start with that latter atty to get it all clear on what's going on. i'd put that .580 coil/atty on your mod, be in the replay profile, and read/measure the resistance. Let me know if you're just still planning on going to the store. 🙌 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
