Ok i pulled the battery out. Seems to be working now. That was odd. It thought i was gonna have to change the chip already. Someone with super awesome modding skills need to do a tutorial on changing the chip on this bad boy.

There are a couple tutorials in this thread already... he-he.... here is one... uses a different enclosure than the clone but shows a dna chipset being done...

Varelse we are trying to tell you IT'S NOT A BUG!. All DNA30 devices do this as well. If you cannot understand this functionality maybe you shouldn't be using an advanced mod.

Chill out sport-o. I know what I'm doing. This is my first 30a device so I'm just affirming what jazzman was seeing. Now go play mommy on someone else.

Heh, It's called RTFM. All right there. Now run along and play cause I don't have time to be anyone's "mommy."

I just put in an identical battery with 4.1 volts. same readings and reaction at 12w. blinking 3.4 volts but fires fine.

I don't think you understand the dynamic of what is happening.

Just because it is under 4v does not mean it wont fire. It means the voltage is unregulated, meaning whatever the status of the battery's charge. Fully charged they start at 4.2 and drop with use from there. Then they hover around 3.7 and continue to drop.

This is how mech mods work.

Now a regulated mod (such as these) will not care what voltage your battery is because it is REGULATING the voltage as per its setting.

Again, in this particular case it can NOT regulate at a setting that would require LESS than 4v to achieve.

Again that does not mean it will not FIRE.

Where did you guys learn to read? Jeez. Go back and re-read exactly what I posted. EXACTLY. :vapor:

Hey, retired or any of you other modders out there could you point me to a good online parts store?

I want to try my hand at building a regulated box mod from some birds eye maple or maybe some black cherry I have laying around.
I haven't decided yet if I want to go with a DNA 30 or a sx 350 yet.

I think I can find some good tutorials on my own but would like to know of some good DIY stores.

Thanks for any help.

Varelse was just relating his observations and affirming other posts. Those who are "correcting" him don't need to do that. Go back and reread the posts in context. He understands the basic operation of how the chip works- it cannot "down regulate" voltage, etc.
Let's chill out and be friends. :)

Drop testing the Cloupor!

Took a spill on some concrete.

The good news: it survived!

The bad: the ano on this stuff is WEAK sauce. Now no ano is impervious to damage, but this was not a big spill we are talking about and it is chipped up something fierce. I guess I am too used to mil type ano.

As retird above, madvapes for parts specific to ecig mods, (but don't buy their "kit"- it's not the best quality components)- Mouser has virtually everything in switches, up to unique and great quality, boxes (metal and plastic), wire and hard to find components I use them for all my electronics- audio, mods, etc. I'm very intrigued by the sx-350 and my next mod will definitely be this chip. I think the feature set beats the DNA-30.

Ok, Let's start back at the beginning. Maybe someone's just a bit confused here so I'll simplify.

Jazzman's problem:

Battery voltage is below what is needed to fire at. For an example we'll say the wattage he wants on his coil requires 3.8 volts and his battery has only 3.4 volts left. He is noticing that even though the battery voltage is less than what is required, it is still flashing the screen. So he is asking if anyone else has seen this issue. I can say I have not seen this issue. The only time the screen should flash is if the required voltage needed for the set wattage is LESS than the current charge level on the battery. The only time I have seen it flash is either when required voltage is below the battery's current voltage level. As well as when the required voltage and battery's current level voltage are close enough that it extends to a decimal place beyond what the screen can show. ie Required voltage is say 4.04 and battery level is 4.08. Well can't see the required voltage out to that decimal place so it is still functioning as designed.

Varelse's Scenario:
Varelse is reporting the same condition but I'm not sure they were understanding Jazzman's issue. So when Varelse was reporting that when they try to fire at 12 watts on their 1 ohm coil (which would require 3.4 volts of power) it was flashing for them too even though their battery was at 3.7 (half charge.) The problem here is, in this scenario, the device is doing what it's supposed to and is not the same as Jazzman's issue as I understand it.

I don't have a dog in this one. I frankly don't care. All I was trying to explain to Varelse is it's working as intended and showing why their situation doesn't fit in with Jazzman's problem. Thus Varelse is accidentally providing a false confirmation to Jazzman.

Yes I can read. Yes I got the context right as far as what was posted. No I don't like to be called "Sport-o" and told I don't need to "mommy" someone. I was not trying to mommy anyone and I don't like being talked down to by someone with that kind of attitude.

And this is the last I will say on this particular topic. Take it, leave it, doesn't matter to me. Hopefully you'll take it and learn from it instead of telling people to chill out.

My battery currently shows half charge and at 12w on a 1ohm coil it's saying the voltage is 3.4 and it's blinking but firing great. Nice smooth vape.

You might want to read the instruction sheet/ error messages you got with the clone....the blinking of the ohm reading means something...

In this video he uses several toppers at different ohm's and shows how the clone fires them.... hope this helps

Bingo!

My understanding was that Varelse had a very clear understanding re: under voltage regulation and was relating those observations. Guess it's all in how you interpret it. I thought the same as you on first reading.
But then.... It's all good.

Now on to other things... If anyone is interested, Jwraps does indeed have a wrap listed for these. Choose the Hana V3 Clone option. It fits perfectly. The only cutting I had to do was for the bottom wrap piece. It covers the entire bottom including the part made up by the battery cover plate. Quick slide with a razor fixed that.
