DNA 200 Watt

[IanDVaypes]

From left to right:
Top cap
Plastic button
Clicky dome
Base

It's really worth it to salvage the clicky dome on the sk tactiles to replace the clicky domes on the evolve board buttons. Very resistant to accidental fire by leaving it in the pocket unlocked. It also has a great feedback feel.

Will escribe work with Windows xp?

Mine was giving me a shorted message with a 0.035 ni200 build. It still worked, with a delay, same experience as the "ohms too low" on the dna40. Giving low power while message is displayed, then as resistance reaches an acceptable level it would fire normally.
Haven't tried another build that low but I was disappointed :/

off the top of my head im not sure, how ever you could use virtualbox to make a virtual windows 7 enviroment, i can help you through that if needs be? If your able to wait until alteast 9 am gmt (UK time, dont know your location) as im going to bed soon

well that is crazy low, this is sort of what i was thinking is ridiculous low ohms could / might be read as false positve shorts. Il have ti experiment when mine arrives i guess

Just busted my dna 200 screen.

I'm either cursed or an idiot. Probably both.

Grrrrrr

I had a twisted nickel build on my velocity on an Opus 200 done by someone that knew what they were doing that was around .04. Sometimes read a bit lower without any problems. I had it set to about 75-80 watts (and I believe it was actually reaching that) and was working until I messed it up trying to rewick it.

When I tried building myself a nickel clapton for the first time, I had put a .01 on there that read but wouldn't fire because it was "shorting" not because it was saying "low resistance."

I am sorry.
Was it the new one u were waiting for or the one in use?
And more importantly, how? Considering my skills, any info about what to avoid to do is very welcomed.

These super low ohm builds can be problematic. They can easily be a lower resistance than the atty+wiring+connection resistance alone. This can result in a low resistance or short message from the chip.

Other than modifying our mods about all we can do is be nuts about cleaning all threads, firmly screwing down the atty and coil legs, and picking a coil resistance that the chip won't be upset with.

I have been out of the computer game since Windows 97, LOL. The reason I ask is today while at work installing an underground gas and water line, the customer asks me everyday what I'm vaping and type of mod. Anyways, he sed he'd give me one of his old computers that run Windows XP. So I'm checking to see if it's compatible with escribe before I tell him I'll take it. Virtualbox, no idea what you're talking about. You might be pulling your hair out if you decide to help me. So be warned. Oh Ya, it's 6:30 p.m. here in Pennsylvania.

The DNA200 and screen is like a wine glass hanging from tire that must be mounted and balanced. The board is tough, has to have very thick wire soldered to it and shoehorned into a tight space...all the while protecting that wine glass.

I have taken to buying spares.

So my new DNA 200 board came in today.

Decided to suck it up and solder everything myself instead of waiting for shakey hands friend to mess up.

Man now that I actually realised you are supposed to heat the wire on one side and then apply solder from the other side. So much more easy than what I was doing previously.

balance charger was easy. battery cables was easy. ground and out for atty went well. But man those tiny ... holes and wire for the switches and fire buttons was a paaaaain. solder had more the tendancy of running UP the wire I was soldering(the lead was pretty long so it was easy to use. heat up wire on top of the lead. put solder on the hole. see solder defy gravity and crawl up onto the solder tip. Man oh man the cursing. but in the end it was way easier than I expected. only one lead kept on not sticking(once again...positive fire switch) but in the end I got it to stick.

so everything was soldered well and then I realise....oh yeah I can't put my fire button in the mod with the leads there. hoorah. ended up snipping the wire in half and extending it(I had the leads very short so it wouldn't be a wirey mess) but eh. that is another task for tommorow.

tommorow I need to cut up some MDF cubes to use as supports for the board and screw the board on and then its just lipo time and some wire fixing.

And hoorah DNA 200 back in business

Evolv DNA40 Replacement Screen - Cloud 9 Vaping

Yes. Thank God for escribe.

Thx for the link but I'm going to try to get a screen with a longer ribbon cable first. I think that I will bust another one if I attempt to fixate the screen and then start moving the board around again. Not sure... Maybe I'll get a couple of standard and try a couple of longer ones.

Going to contact Evolv about it. I heard they had longer ribbon cables /screens but not sure.

Never had either one, it's Coors in the glass. I'm too poor (mod poor) for the imported stuff.

They either do or there are extensions 'cause the new VS has the screen on the bottom and that's pretty far from the board's center.
Maybe buy a few.

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.

Where are you getting the stiffer domes from??

I have some tact switches that are hanna box style, authentic thru mouser, not China copies, will those work??

Stella is one of my favorite beers. I'll have to try Jupiler.

Life's too short to drink Coors
