You can set escribe to have the mod show individual cell voltage during charging....that's something at least [emoji14]

Ha, yep. Same sale. Great deal for the whole bundle they give. Have an rx200 but its so heavy and big. The duo is very light and slick looking. Not to say there is anything wrong with the rx200, but have been wanting another device for a bit now, and couldn't resist that deal.
The alabone panels look really nice on the silver. Have the black one and left the carbon fiber since know once I take them off, they are gone. But looks good with the carbon fiber, on black so not worried. Will save the extra panels for the day the carbon fiber stickers get beat up. If that ever happens...
Tried the lipo. It worked good for the 1st 2 or 3 cycles. And then remember I was at like 50% and the next time it turned on the meter jumped up to like 70%ish. I was thinking what the hell, could of sworn the battery was lower. But didn't think much of it at the time. Was vaping away and kept thinking - Wow! This lipo is great, been vaping on it since yesterday and battery meter hasn't even changed.
Then I dropped it from chest height to the floor (its a slippery little ....er, especially when there is a little juice on your hand and device). Went to hit it and said to check battery. Battery meter was at the same 70%. Hooked it up to escribe and all cells were showing 3.93 for all 3. I was like wtf, maybe I broke it? Unplugged it to see if 18650's will work, and as soon as I unplugged it, battery dropped to 0%. Plugged it back into escribe and now cell 1 was at 2.74V. It was like dropping the device triggered something, and then unplugging it from escribe and / or usb triggered something else.
No clue what happened prior to dropping it that would of caused the voltage reading to completely stop working.
Back on 18650's now. Have a few pairs of vtc5's, and seem to get better battery life from them anyway.
You'll get longer battery life out of the the 18650's (depending which ones you have) as the 3 cell Lipo is only 1300mAh. I'm a low wattage user, and the 3 cell Lipo only held out for about 2 /2 days before needing recharging. My 3 battery 18650 Triade lasts over a week without a visit to the battery charger. Did you have the Lipo configured properly in eScribe, because that's pretty weird behavior. No idea what to make of the change after the unintended vertical descent, unless one of the connectors was loose or something. The connectors seem pretty solid, but maybe when you tucked them in back on top something got a little loose? If you think that Lipo is really not functioning properly I'd contact VapeNW for an exchange on the battery.
The black with carbon fiber must look good. The carbon fiber panel/sticker is actually pretty thick, and you can get it off in one usable piece, although you'll have to find a new adhesive. I saw one video of someone using a 3M roll on type of adhesive which seemed to work. Unfortunately, whatever you replace he carbon fiber with (wood or Abalone) will likely not survive being taken off again. Hope you're otherwise enjoying it, great mod especially at that sale price.

Yes. I definitely did have it set up correctly in escribe. 3 cells in the drop down, and 1300mah + 11.1v in the watt hour calc.
Will give it another try this week and see if that happens again.

After a few more 18650 cycles tried the lipo again. It's weird because the 18650 is pretty accurate. Steady decline in meter and boots me around 20%, when both 18650 are at 3.3v and can't push 50 watts.
Charged it up. Meter all over the place on 1st cycle. Was going good to around 40% ish. And jumped next power on to about 60%ish. 10 vapes later it dropped a tad. Next power on meter was about the same and got check battery after a few vapes. Next power on it showed 0% from the start.
One guess is I'm gonna need a handful more cycles before it's holding the full charge.
Also saved the discharge profile, and just made a new one. 4.2 100%. 3.1 0%, 2 points. I understand it doesn't discharge linearly. More or less curious to see if the discharge profile has any affect on the meter. I assumed it was just something reference and test your batteries. Really should just need the battery stats and you can produce the meter from max capacity - current capacity= how much of a meter should we draw.
We'll see how that goes.
I would totally get if it were inaccurate but always decreasing, but the fact it goes back up is odd. Wonder if coil resistance has anything to do with it. Been generally using the same .14 ohm ss build. That's the ohms on a cold coil. But raises as it heats up. Have seen this build go up to .19 as it heats. And will cool back down to .16 and hang out there for a while.
Gonna try a test later once I get it to sub 50%.
Really need to setup some kind of resistor setup and use the battery analyzer to see what the actual discharge is like.
I don't think it's defective. Just needs to be broken in, and/or proper settings.
