I'm thinking I didn't have anything lower than .6 ohms on the RDAs. I did hear back from 101vapes. They ask me to send it back so they can take a look at it and replace if necessary. FYI - the email indicated the warranty would be void if the red plastic cover had been removed.

Best of luck john. I removed my cover knowing the warranty would be void. It was somewhat challenging to remove anyway. Let us know how it goes.

Addressing the 2 click from sleep problem. After having both a single click and multi-click required to fire from sleep on my clone, I decided to make sure I was fully engaging the contact with a firm steady pressure. Since I began doing this I have yet to have the device require a second click. Immediately begins to fire every time. Now this could change but in the last 12 hours or so I can confirm only a single press has been required. And I have pressed it a ton.This is not really optimal but it is the case. Personally I am not inconvenienced by being required to push it a second time. I have had very few devices that did not eventually have a similar problem in the last few years, so pretty minor to me.
Maybe some of you could try and see if it can be confirmed. Now what does this mean?? I can't say because it always fires normally when not asleep, that I can tell.
it appears mine does this as well, although it hasn't done the two clicks from sleep issue people are having...
Just got my Cana today, fired maybe for about 20 minutes on a .8 ohm coil and screen went caput. Came back for like 2 minutes then died again. Let the vendor (Elev8vape) know what I did (removed battery for about an hour) still no go, also waiting for vendor response after they told me to try to reset the mod. Mod still works, fire, up, down, and lock, but just firing blindly at the moment. Running on a VCT5 battery.
I tried that, to take it out of stealth mode but no dice. Screen is completely unresponsive unfortunately.

Nope. That is the phantom screen of death.
I was the first to experience it here. Happened after just 24hrs.
Most people this happened to ended up with bricked units. Oddly, mine went back to "normal" and has been fine since (approximately 1 month)
Yeah, as long as it still works, I'm overnighting it back on Monday. It's hard to tear myself away from this thing, working screen or not. Vapes so nicely.
Were you using a Russian 91% v2 with the floating pins? This combined with the oversized pin in the Cana makes it easy to short out. I decided either I would not use my Russian 91% or replace the floating pin with a fixed adjustable pin.
Second item with the Russian as well as the Kayfun, sometime things loosen up and the positive block comes loose and causes a short. Sometimes that is not as easy to see as one would think. Just something to check.
I've had a RDA placed on the Cana and the screws holding the coil wires became loose causing strange things on the Cana display including the 'check atomizer' - once the coils are retightened everything has worked OK. Actually that has occurred with a couple of different RDAs.
I've recently learned how quickly a short can cause a battery to destroy itself, so I cam imagine the electronics (or parts) in a Cana might fry just as quickly if the protection is not quick enough. Hopefully 101Vapes takes care of you.
Just got my DNA30 from Elev8vape yesterday. Has been working very well. I also have an FT DNA20 and it has the short sleep mode issue. I have not had to do a double click with this one yet. Have tried a couple of Kayfuns, an AGA-T7, an RSST, a Taifun GT and a FT Unknown and everything fires well. Lowest I have taken it is 1.1ohms on the RSST. Very happy with it so far.
I got my Cana in the mail yesterday and so far so good. Mostly. I built a 1.3 Ohm chimney micro coil last night and this morning I noticed the resistance was flashing, meaning it wasn't regulating properly. Not sure why this is, since it isn't sub-ohm. Anyone know what could be causing this?
Also, is the firing pin adjustable?

If your resistance is flashing with a 1.3 ohm load then your wattage is set for less than 12.5 watts. Turn up the wattage and it should not flash.
At what wattage setting is it flashing at? If I recall the chipset starts regulating at 4 volts. 4 volts with a 1.3 ohm coil is 12.3 watts. At 12.3 watts it should not be flashing. The flashing means that it is not regulating tho it still fires.
Huh. That fixed it. I'm not too savvy on how the regulation works, could you please elaborate a bit?
As an example:
You set the wattage to 12 watts with your 1.3 ohm coil. The required voltage for that setup (according to ohm's law) is 3.94 volts. The chipset starts regulating at 4 volts. Thus the chipset is unable to regulate below 4 volts and it is giving you the voltage available in the battery. If the voltage in the battery is 3.5 volts then with the 1.3 ohm coil you are vaping at 9.4 watts (according to ohm's law) even tho the wattage of the device is set to 12 watts. The blinking is telling you basically that the chipset is not regulating because it is below the 4 volt threshold.
Hope this helps...

Am I reading this correctly? You're saying it won't boost the voltage to meet the 12 watt setting with the battery drained to 3.5 volts?
according to your setup you are asking the mod to regulate below 4 volts and according to the specifications it does not regulate below 4 volts so you just get battery voltage whatever the voltage is....and with your ohm rated coil it will vape at a reduced wattage.....bump your ewattage up to 13 an it should regulate....and the flashing ohm's should go away...

It won't boost the voltage (battery voltage example is 3.5 volts) if he is trying to get the chipset to regulate below the 4 volt specification. If he tries to regulate above the 4 volt specification then the regulator will boost the batteries 3.5 volts. Maybe that better answers your question...
Thanks. I didn't know this aspect of the chip. I thought once the battery voltage dropped below the 3.94 volts required to fire this 1.3 ohm coil at 12 watts it would then boost the voltage to what was needed.
