    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    Is anyone having their chip kick into voltage on the display, and staying there for a bit, even with the Ni builds? It's happened a couple times, and I locked it, went into temp settings, ticked it up one and down one, and set/unlocked it and it would be back to temp display. Yesterday though...

    I bumped mine up to 500 and what a difference! This on a Kayfun with cotton, so I am gonna keep an eye on it, but so far so good. Thanks!! :toast:

    You have it at 500 degrees? Working ok? I am way down at 400 .... :huh:

    From Brandon's explanation, I got that the 400 degrees is the temperature right below cotton's scorch point of 410. If the limit is 400, your cotton will NEVER burn, even if vaped dry. That is why I am using 400. A few of my friends have gone to 450, and notice a slight effect if it gets dry...

    With your Ekowool, you can set it higher than 400 degrees if you want. I forgot the # Brandon said, but it's in the video. Quick question about the temp limit ... I was adjusting my builds to not hit the temperature limit, sort of to be careful. BUT if it does come on, it is doing it's job, and...

    I make "contact coils" and they seem to be doing fine. I fired it in short bursts on the DNA40 and it heated just like a Kanthal coil.

    So far it is just really touchy, pulses almost like pulse-modulated mod, cuts off due to temp control, etc ... BUT I think all of that will resolve when I get my other guages of wire and can wrap coils that will be agreeable to the chip. So I am waiting on Amazon and the USPS. :unsure:

    Huh ... my coils and cotton are still really clean after 3 days, so who knows.

    I am hoping the 30g or 32g will help with that, but the coils will be more fragile. :unsure:

    At Michael's Craft Store in the jewelry making section. I think it is to make jump-rings. It came with a 2nd one also, that went from 6mm to 10mm.

    Yeah ... I was sort of freaking out at the 0.06, but I was in the "Kanthal mind-set". LOL It runs better with upping the temp to 410 max, but that is still at 23watts. I did a single coil also, trying to get up around the >0.10 ohm range, and this one reads anywhere between 0.14 to 0.18ohms...

    Hey all .... had my DNA40 Hana now for a couple of days, and I am not sure I am liking it. :unsure: I got Ni200 28g, did dual coils, 10 wraps on a 3mm mandrel each side, and it's reading at 0.05ohms on the Hana. I set the temp control at 400 degrees (for cotton?) and I keep getting the temp...

    sedge - mine seems fine, have UFO and iGo-M drippers on it, and no problems at all except trying to get my resistance up high enough. LOL The 28g is nice to work with, but too low IMHO, so I have some 30 and 32 coming.

    Hi guys!! Got my Pinkie Trippy on my new DNA40 Hana. :D Trying out this temp controlled chip, seems good so far, haven't burnt any cotton .... and I did try. :evil: ** Bert - can the bases of these take high heat? The RSM tips with the pyrex can't really take a dripper. The epoxy/whatever that...
