From discussions, they are pretty busy on a ecig research project and are no doubt evaluating how to make the v2 a good solution. Like the 40, there will be a revision, but what is fixed and how will remain known only to them.

I'm not sure I understand what your saying.
On my DNA200's in TC. I can increase temperature or wattage (2 different settings) without even having to go into Escribe.

people want the temperature setting to be like alot of other TC mods these days.
That you increase and decrease the temperature with just the + and - buttons.
me and quite a few other people don't mess with the wattage settings while using temp control but mess around with the temperature. but changing temperature right now is damn annoying to do.
lock the device. hold + and - for several seconds and then change temperature and then unlock again. for somebody who constantly changes temperature based on juice(or just experimenting with different temperatures), outside temperature and such it is realy annoying.
So it would be pretty great if instead of showing wattage it showed the temperature and you could directly change that and let the mod decide the wattage.
YOU peeked my interested with that little paragraph. link to said discussion? v2? hopefully firmware and not hardware. please elaborate, if you can. i have crazy thoughts running through my head like: "evolv is coming out with a new board that does everything you could possibly imagine." and "great, another version of the 200 board that i won't have the immediate funds to buy." set my mind at ease blueridge.
I get what you saying now.I guess I was being to literal. I really don't want my mod deciding the wattage though. I prefer to have control over both settings. Some like a quicker ramp up, some a slower one. I don't like relinquishing control to my machine. Different strokes for different folks.

If they were going to improve the board. I think a good place to start would be the fuse. Seems like that's been a problem for more than a few people (I'm not one of them, at least not yet). Another improvement I would like to see is to incorporate reverse battery protection so it would be more 18650 friendly. As it is now the only protection seems to be the fuse. I'm actually pretty happy with mine though.YOU peeked my interested with that little paragraph. link to said discussion? v2? hopefully firmware and not hardware. please elaborate, if you can. i have crazy thoughts running through my head like: "evolv is coming out with a new board that does everything you could possibly imagine." and "great, another version of the 200 board that i won't have the immediate funds to buy." set my mind at ease blueridge.

I don't think that's what's he's saying, but to have the option of a) changing temp with the up and down buttons and going the long way around to change watts (the new option), and b) changing watts with the up and down button and going the long way around to change temp, the way it is now. I agree. I definitely prefer the mods where temp is the primary modifier you adjust. I commonly set the watts to a good setting, and then adjust temp throughout the day according to my mood and preferences.

I like that idea Ken, basically flop the way you adjust wattage and temperature in TC. But that's not what the last part of his post said. Here's the quote from the last part of his post
"So it would be pretty great if instead of showing wattage it showed the temperature and you could directly change that and let the mod decide the wattage."
Edit That might have been what he meant, but when I read it I thought he meant. We set the temperature and let the mod decide the correct wattage.

Ah, missed that. I'd be ok with that being a third option, but it's not something I'd use. In fact, I'm still waiting for my first DNA 200 mod so I should perhaps shut up

I have some questions for everybody. I have 3 DNA200 mods and 8 other TC devices and have had a problem with my hcigar vt200. All of my DNA200's have the same profiles and all gave the same vape across the 3. I use titanium and that's been my wire of choice for over 8 months. I only use titanium fused claptons and alien claptons and other builds similar to that and one build with my vt200 is acting terrible. It's a titanium caterpillar track that has worked amazing like always in my other dna200's and sxmm. When I put it on my vt200 it sometimes kicks me out or just dumps a crapload of power like it's just using my preheat or something and gets insanely hot. My wattage is set at 50 and preheat at 100, the temp only gets to 280 to 300 max while it feels like I'm inhaling a propane torch. I put the same build on my vs200 and reuleaux DNA with no issues at all. I also through another build on my Aeolus just a simple ti fused Clapton and once again all of my mods work great and the vt200 gave a extremely weak vape. I space my coils and have gone through all of the common issues. I've heard of other people having similar issues I just couldn't find the place I saw responses. Does this sound like a board problem, maybe the 510 is having problems. Any help will be great. The only reason why I gave a small back story up top was to let people know this isn't my first rodeo so it saves everyone time of saying things like " is the resistance locked, is the atty and mod room temp and the connection of the posts". It's just odd that it is great on everything else but the vt200. Thanks again for the help.
If you hook it up in Escribe using the Atomizer Analyzer. Is the resistance jumping all over the place if you put a slight pressure on the atty (gently wiggling it)? If not, Is it registering the correct value?
I'll check tomorrow after work to see if the 510 is the problem. I would like to open it up to see if there is a problem but of course it's my luck that 2 of the 3 dna200's I get have completely stripped screws. So I'll have to try to drill them out or something. Thanks for the help.

The first statement was from Evolv, i.e. they have a research project they are working on regarding electronic cigarettes. The second, i.e. modifying the chip, is assumed based on the DNA40. Though a large percentage of the chip failures have been due to mod assembly, some have been due to chip issues and, just like the 40, they will at some point make some changes.
Just a heads up, there's an option already for displaying the temperature in the big part of the screen. Its not quite what has been requested. You can make it display wattage until it hits the set temp then switch to temp displayed.
Under theme, set the temp protect drop down box to show temperature.

It's not the temperature display that's the problem, it's that one needs to jump through hoops just to adjust the temp. A weird choice as temp is the primary variable. A definite error on Evolv's part, a relic of the vw days of yesteryear (Just a heads up, there's an option already for displaying the temperature in the big part of the screen.

yup, I agree its a pain when trying to get a new build set to where you like it. There where two things being discussed as needed to be added. Easier temp changes, and the ability for it to display the temp where wattage is. I was pointing out that there is an option to make it do this once the set temperature is reached.
I understand why they set it up the way they did. It can be used in straight power mode as well as in TC mode (watts are adjusted in both modes, temperature in only TC mode). Since in straight power mode you only adjust watts it wouldn't make much sense for them to make that the more time consuming setting to change.
Now it is possible (programing wise) to swap the way you adjust watts and temperature in TC mode, that would be nice. I really don't have a problem changing temperature the way it's set up now, but then again I'm not constantly changing my temperature. Just my

I don't really see the issue with locking it, holding both the up and down buttons, and then adjusting the temperature. Is that really that much more work than just pressing the up and down button as if you were adjusting the wattage? I could see an option for that as Wingsfan suggested being nice but I really don't see the way it is as a flaw at all. That all said, I do adjust my temperature more than my wattage so I understand the concept, but c'mon now it's two more simple steps to change the temperature over the wattage.
Edit: I posted and realized this was my opinion and then how subjective it inherently is. I suppose my point is it would be nice to have the temperature adjustment in the place of the wattage, but is another 5 seconds of your life to adjust the temperature as it currently is such a problem?
