New XLIM Pro 2 DNA - Confusing Anti-Burn & Resistance Readings

[ZobiFun]

Hi everyone,

I'm a new owner of the XLIM Pro 2 DNA and I'm a bit confused about some of the behavior I'm seeing.

I've done a lot of troubleshooting and I'm hoping someone can help me understand if my pods are faulty or if my device is.
My main issue is that the anti-burn feature is not working correctly. I got a few dry hits on a pod that was nearly empty.

After contacting my dealer, I got a replacement kit, but I'm still seeing some confusing behavior.

Here are my findings from the Escribe Atomizer Analyzer:

• Original 0.6Ω pod: Reads 0.3396Ω

• Original 0.8Ω pod: Reads 0.5098Ω

• Replacement 0.6Ω pod: Reads 0.3364Ω

• Replacement 0.8Ω pod: Reads 0.5098Ω

I have a few questions for the community:

1. Are these resistance readings normal for the XLIM Pro 2 DNA pods? The numbers are far from the advertised values, but I saw in a different thread that this might be a designed characteristic.

2. What is the correct behavior of the anti-burn feature? I'm getting dry hits, but the "Fill Pod" message only seems to appear after I remove and re-insert the pod. Should it be active and prevent a dry hit in real time?

3. What does the "Anti-Burn" message with the orange flame icon on the display mean when you insert the pod, Its active or not?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love the technology, but I'm struggling to get it to work correctly.

What watts are you using for each pod?

Are you using the latest firmware (which won't fix your intermittent fill pod, but does enable more reorting)?
The latest is always the last post here.

Your Atomizer Analyzer readings are well within the range for each pod.

1. Yes, you are correct. More details here

2&3. Anti Burn shows when a SS pod is inserted. A regular coil will not show that. Yes, it is active and prevent a dry hit in real time. More details here.

With ~50k puffs between 2 devices, I could not say it's a board issue

Hi Wayneo

I am not adjusting the watts manually, I just let the device choose:

0.6 Pods - 23w
0.8 Pods - 18w

I have updated both devices to the latest firmware with the software: 1.28 

[ZobiFun]

Actually I have just installed the latest version Escribe Suite.
When I connect my devices and go to Service Packs, the recommended firmware is:

1.1 SP112.2 INT

There is another one on the list: 1.1 SP125.1

So I am just confused, why it is recommending an older one? 

In any case, I have now installed the 1.1 SP112.2 INT to see what happens.
But right now, my 0.6 pod is almost empty and I am afraid it might not activate the anti-burn again

Those are both very close to their maximums. You could turn the both down a couple watts. For me, I run  my .6 at 15 watts and the .8 at 14 watts.

If you read that firmware thread going up from the bottom you'll see their notes. 128 is the current latest and there is an experimental SP130 in the works (you can use search for more details).

[ZobiFun]

But what does the watts have anything to do with the Anti-Burn function not working?

To be honest, I am quite disappointed with this device and pods when I had so much expectation.
I just had to dispose a new 0.6 pod that I've only fill twice and was already leaking like crazy from the bottom holes.

Besides, my dealer sent me two new XLIM Pro 2 DNA devices and 6 pods (3x 0.6 & 3x 0.8).
None of the devices activates the anti-burn function and they are from different batches.

As a consumer I expect the device to work straight from the box and don't have to deal with software and firmware bugs.

I have also emailed the OXVA Team explaining the problems and all I got is a reply to fill a form to claim a warranty.
I don't need to claim a warranty, I just want an explanation why this product don't work as advertise.
Since it does not work and no one offers a solution, it is easy for me to just return everything to my dealer and look for alternatives.

I'm not sure man, I've bought mine few days ago and when I put any SS coil first thing it says is anti-burn, yesterday I've tested that feautre, my pod was dead empty and when I tried to vape red light has popped up and on display there was a message "fill pod"

So far I'm very satisfied with this pod, this is my first oxva pod, before this one, I was a xros user since first model until 4th generation, before that I had caliburn few models, wenax....

Before xros and generally all in one pods, I had battery mods with sub-ohm coils

I'm vaping for over 10 years and this is the most premium "simple" pod I've had.

On 0.6 coil - 21w

On 0.8 coil - 18w 

Never had any issue.

Hi FP1, I guess you are one of the lucky ones!

It is quite bizarre that I have tested 6 pods and 2 new devices from different manufacturing batches and none activates the anti-burn. 
My guess is that there is a really bad Quality Control on these devices or my retailer is getting the kits from a dodgy supplier!

[fp1]

You don't get a message "anti-burn" instantly when you put the coil into pod?

From my testings, on a fully empty coil and message "fill pod" I tried at least 7-8 times to puff and it let me for 0.something seconds, tasted like nothing and I could taste that the coil is empty but no wick was burnt. When I filled it with juice it tasted like always. Chip is doing pretty good job in detecting "dry" wick.

Take an empty coil and try it man if you don't get the message or you taste something burnt it's faulty chip for sure..

There's always juice in the wick even if you see an empty tank, when the wick is dry that's when the chip kick in (at least on my device)

Wait, are you saying the wick needs to be completely dry for the anti-burn to kick in?
I though it will do it much earlier, because in my case when I start to see the pod almost empty, I can feel the vape is losing flavor and cloud, so I figure the anti-burn is not working and if I continue I am just going to burn the coil.

And yes, I do get the "Anti-Burn" message on the display, every time I insert the pod. That message disappears after 2 seconds, is that how it works for you too?

Yes, I do get the same message and I'm not sure how the chip can detect almost empty tank when the wick is still juiced. 

So yes the feauture is to prevent burnt taste when you take a hit on a dry wick.It's the worst taste if you ever tasted that...

Maybe it's me or my previous experience but I never had an expectation to get the mesaage "fill pod" while I'm having a small ammount of juice in my pod. I'll test the coil to it's limit when I reach 2-3k puffs on it.

But from current testing it saved my coil and I'm happy with that. 

[ZobiFun]

Never mind.

I have 2 devices with faulty chips for sure.

I've just test with a new empty pod that was never used, I do get the Anti-Burn message when insert the pod but both devices let me keep trigger and vape the empty pod 

[fp1]

Sad to hear that man, hope you'll get a proper device with a fully functioning chip.

Good luck 🍀

According to their advertising, the chip reads 30.000 times per sec the temperature of the coil.
The liquids cool down the coils, so the device should notice if there is a spike on the temperature more that should be.
That is the sign the coil is getting dryer and so it should kick the anti-burn much earlier before its completely dry

Also, just curious. What resistance readings you get on the software for your pods?

In my case, all my pods are supposed to be 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω, but they consistently read as 0.33Ω and 0.50Ω on the official software.

[fp1]

Cold resistance is the same as yours, it goes to 0.8ohm when hot. 

0.8ohm is the hot resistance, while "cold" is 0.50/0.55

You can go to device monitor in escribe and see it by yourself, your 0.8 ohm coil should go from 0.50 to 0.78-0.8 if it goes above that it means that coil is dry and anti burn will kick in.

You mean the Live Ohm in the device monitor?

My 0.8 pod goes from 0.5 to 0.62 when I vape. That also does not seem right

[Wayneo]

Watts can play a massive role, but the majority of complaints are the exact opposite of yours, with numerous 'fill pod' warnings. You're vaping at the edge.

If you read the notes as I suggested, you could use ecigstats, and download a couple of your burnt puffs.

The maximum any 0.6Ω coil can reach is 0.558Ω. Yours 0.4158Ω
The maximum any 0.8Ω coil can reach is 0.687Ω. Yours 0.6259Ω

That's perfectly acceptable, what does not seem right? You hit .62Ω that's so close to the max, ~560F. That won't trigger any warning. For the second time, turn down the watts and try that.

But why won't not trigger any anti-burn warning?
If watts have influence, then they should put in the user manual, instead of the device just auto select the watts for you.
 

And how to explain in both the 2 new devices I have here, if I insert an empty new pod, the device does not cut the power and let me vape?

Read what you quoted a couple times to yourself. And you forgot to answer this

What other mods/pods have you used before this, and do any have adjustable wattage? It is common knowledge to start low and increase to where YOU get the best flavor. My very first puff was at that value and it burned my mouth not the coil. So I set it to 11 and worked up to what I liked which was 15. And 14 on the 0.8. I know it was OXVA that set those wattages for each of the different pods, and the .6 for sure matches with their Kanthal version.

So you put in an empty pod at your regular watts, the mod lets you vape, and you don't complain of that nasty cotton taste? So after 1 puff you're throwing them out? That's usually what a person does when a coil burns. If you LOWER your watts and put more juice in any of those pods, do they taste burned?

No, I am saying I have put a new pod empty on the device to see if the anti-burn works. It doesn't, otherwise why would it let me trigger the device on an empty pod?
No pods I've tested taste burn even at 18w or 23w, because as soon as I see the flavor and cloud are very reduce, the wick its getting drier and I just refill.

There is no point to wait for "Fill Pod" message because it is not going to show up. That means I have 2 devices with faulty DNA chips.
That's my only conclusion.

I've tried 6 different new pods with liquid until they were almost completely dry. The devices never cut the power and gave the "Fill Pod" warning.

Sorry man, but if you can already taste a big difference when there’s just a small amount of juice left in than just refill the tank.  

The only time I ever burned my coils was when I forgot to refill the pod. Like, I’d be watching a movie, take a puff, and it tastes like dry cotton... but my juice bottle’s somewhere across the house, and I don’t feel like pausing the movie. A few minutes later I forgot about dry cotton taste.. taking another puff, and boom..burnt cotton and metal taste right in my mouth.

 With this pod, I’m sure that’s never going to happen again.. and honestly, that’s all I need.  

I can always just use my eyes to see how much juice is left in the tank, but with a DNA chip, I don’t even have to worry about it. No matter how little juice is left, it'll never taste burnt.

That's because your device has the anti-burn working

嗨，FP1，我想你是幸运儿之一！

很奇怪的是，我已经测试了来自不同制造批次的 6 个豆荚和 2 个新设备，但没有一个激活防烧伤。
我的猜测是，这些设备的质量控制非常糟糕，或者我的零售商从狡猾的供应商那里获得套件！

 Is there a possibility that you bought a counterfeit product?
