DNA 200 Watt

[KTMRider]

Well i can change much lower, like 56-60% which equates to about 3.62 on the charger, 66-70% is around 3.74

Im vaping 35watts with .5ohm coils... Nothing wrong with it, i jus pull way too much

Sorry, I was being snarky about Yihi and their chips.

If you're vaping a .5 coil at 35w, you should NOT be going thru 6 batteries even if you're chain vaping. You would have to take a puff (5sec) every min for 18hrs with no break to get thru 6 2500mah batteries. Even at half capacity that's 9hrs taking a 5 sec puff every min w/o a break.

Since you're only vaping a .5Ω coil at 35w, you really should look into a DNA40. I would guess you'd be down to 2 batteries a day, maybe 3. I just started using my DNA200 last night but with my DNA40's, I can get thru a day with 1 battery vaping a .11Ω NI200 coil at 20w with temp set to 430°F. That's if I'm just sitting at my desk most of the day (chain vaping at my desk). The DNA40 can go down to 3.2v w/o a noticeable difference in vape and can go lower with decreasing power, kinda like limp mode.

Of coarse there's two ways this can be and one of them is to use my Opus very little but that is not the case here. Since getting my Opus it has never had the battery below 12.1 volts.
Which ultimately means I have no idea how well the battery in it compares to a DNA 40 with a single 18650 used at the same wattage but if I were to guess I'd say about the same.

My battery was at 38% or 11.4v when I installed it. I fully charged it and I was down to 70% in a couple of hours. Then I realized that I didn't have the battery capacity set properly in Escribe (home built mod). It was set to the default 8Wh when it should've been 14.43Wh for a 1300mah 3S lipo. I've been vaping with a .11Ω Ni200 at 20w, 440°F and I'm seeing 87%, 12.3v (was fully charged this morning).

I was at 32 W on a DNA40 for about 6 months vaping 10 ml a day at that level it was getting through a contestant 2 25Rs a day or almost 3 VTC4s and those are exact figures not guesses. As I said before I reckon the 950 mAh in my DNA200 is about equivalent to 1.5 25R in runtime, not exact just a guess after nearly a week.

I vape on avg 12 hrs a day

 

[KTMRider]

I vape on avg 12 hrs a day

5 sec puff every minute for 12 hrs?

 

[Stinkytofus]

5 sec puff every minute for 12 hrs?

I finish half a pair in the morning, i kill two more pairs during the day and half a pair at night

 

[Stinkytofus]

5 sec puff every minute for 12 hrs?

Every minute ? Ill be done with a pair in 2 hrs

I calculate about 3 hours for one 2500 mAh 18650. My mods cut out at about 3.4v, I vape at around 30w (and 450f on nickel, 360f on titanium). Those three hours are for a worst case scenario with me chain vaping, but I tend to do that when bored, sitting in a car or walking somewhere. I'm afraid that a mod with a built in lipo, in an acceptable size (I like smaller mods), won't cut it for me (particularly if I'm out playing with the band). I did just order an Evic VT, but that was cheap. I'll most likely wait for a future Evolv chip, with the functionality of the DNA200 but with a more limited wattage range, that takes a single (or maximum two) battery. Being able to switch out the battery is important to me.

I'd be happy to post some more detailed pictures. Which angles do you think you will need?

There are a few less common parts that might be hard to find, including at least 2 full height 1x1 bricks with a horizontal hole (they are adjacent, for the up/down buttons, so a 1x2 with 2 holes will work as well). Also a transparent 2 wide, 3 high window piece is needed for the screen. I am using a red colored piece here, which is why the screen shows up orange.

Anything with more detail would be appreciated............thanks!

I can see you you did most of it, but how did you achieve the button arrangements? I can see the UP/DOWNS are axels, did the spacing work out correct? And the fire button?

I must be a casual vaper, my Opus gets me through the day no prob. I don't have that oral fixation that once was. I fog it up, get my (6mg) nic and chill. Intense bursts of superior quality vaping, keeping things even.

So far not impressed with the battery options for dna200, i blow thru 6x 18650s a day... Thats close to 15,000 total mahs, of course i dont drain it completely (down to 3.70 usually) Compared to a 1300 3s lipo (3900mah supposedly) its nothing... I wont even make it past 12pm without charging it already

And Yes i know they are swappable but how are you going to charge it externally ? So that defeats the purpose of the swap, its a bigger hassle than 18650s simply because u need to eventually put it back in to recharge it

Hoping for a 3x 18650 dna mod , if not maybe i will get it anyway

It sounds like a bit overkill to me. I mean discharge to the nominal voltage.
Anyway, for this discharge/charge I would calculate with 1500mah for my S25Rs and effectively used 6x1500=9000mah combined. It is still a handsome figure tho. There are lipos that can match it easyly but they got dimensions too

Well, like I posted before, they are considering to add single cell voltage support to the DNA200. It could all be done in software.
Board detects a voltage between 3 and 4.5V and switches to 60W mode
Board detects a voltage between 9 and 16V and switches to 200W mode

Mind if I ask where you got this information? I have not read or heard of this. THX

This is from the FAQ on the Evolve DNA200 forum:

Q: Will we be able to set this to 4.1 V to increase battery life time?
A: It isn't in the software right now, but this isn't a bad idea. I'll see if we can put it on the to do list.

The way it could be Implemented is my own idea but it's the only logical way to do it.

OK.... what they were talking about was reducing the max voltage (maximized puffs) of each cell (in a 3 cell configuration) to a max of 4.1 volts per cell to prolong the battery life cycle (maximize recharges). By the way they did add the option to either maximize puffs or maximize recharges.

 

[Mooch]

Wait...is that single cell support or just the voltage for the BMS to use for three-cell battery charging management?

[edit] sigh...too slow again.

I think that's about an option to charge the 3s lipo to 4.1v instead of 4.2. 3x 4.1 (12.3) instead of 3x 4.2 (12.6). Not about an option to use one 4.1/4.2v battery.

Dang! I didn't know that. Already thought it was awkward they said 4.1V but I still interpreted it as single cell supply voltage.
It would have been a nice opportunity for them though. Perhaps it still is.

I am with you "Yo Han" it sure would be nice to select the battery configuration you want to use. I can't see that being a big deal with the software interface they have. 1 or 2 18650s in parallel sure would be nice making battery change a piece of cake.

One or two batteries in parallel won't work with the hardware....but you never know what new things Evolv may be working on...

Why wouldn't it work?
