DNA 200 Watt

[IanDVaypes]

If you take the metal part off of the evolv switches you can replace the metal dome part that clicks. I like to use the the dome part off of the tactile switches for the increased force needed and more clicky response. Super easy and a great upgrade. I've done it on all of my dna 40s and I'm thinking about doing it to my dna200.

He got praise for his solder skills on that button, but, the photo that shows the 510 solder joint looks like trash. Granted I know it was built as a proof of concept... But I wouldn't put a price like that out there and *not* show your best example.

I honestly doubt it. They decided to go the 350j route.

There is already confirmation of a 2 cell (18650) firmware update, it limits wattage to 130 I think. And I dont care if his skills were praised or not, that joint looks like ...., I wonder what the ones that arent being used for photos look like?

john talked about how the switches are completely different on the DNA 200. I highly doubt you can use the same system.

I took a peek and the domes are the same size.

That would be worth a few photos and a how-to.

well the whole 510 base is stripped out on my hana, and now spins freely. i guess they really do mean don't over tighten the atomizer.

I have hundreds of switches lying around. Will open one up and take a pic so you can see what he means.

Does anyone know the absolute lowest ohm the DNA 200 will fire? I recall seeing something ages ago saying it would give all 200w down to 0.08 and 0.06 only 160w ish. Just wondering what's the limit where it won't fire at all?

Steve, the data sheet has the charts. According to the charts, it will fire to full power in TC mode down to 0.04 and will fire at all down to 0.01 to something like 50 Watts. I have not actually tried or measured this so can only assume the data sheet is correct.

Those charts, especially the extended ones just baffle the heck out of me. Can't even begin to say just how long I looked at them and went away scratching the ol' noodle

I finally got round to painting my shapeways case a little porous but looks ok

Yes I had looked at them but I wasn't sure exactly so I figured I'd ask. That leads me to another question, if we can fire to such low levels will the chip still detect a short?

I had mine say "short" a couple of times when the coil was hitting my drippers cap.
Or however it's worded

OK thanks, I know Evolv are all about safety I just thought it was worth asking, cheers

I once fired a 28awg 1.2 ohm coil with all 200 watts just for shiz and gigs. It instantly glowed even with a saturated wick. It lasted for one second and the coil broke. Lol.

The board's safety anyway

A 0.01 shouldn't be able to be fired at 50 watts. it goes over the max amps output of the chip. at 0.01 max power(the 55 amps peak) should be 30 watts.

 

[dwcraig1]

If TC wire it could start out at say 25 watts and as the resistance increased to 0.02 area the wattage would then about double what it fired at.
