Are LiPo batteries hot swappable on the VaporShark. Using FullyMAX stock ones? I know theres some configuration required for battery setup, so if I bought a new one would it be bad to just swap it in and out with the one I have as there settings should be similar?

I don't see why not as long as it's the same mah (no need to change settings then) and it's not hard wired (I don't have the VS). However, the VS supports 2amp zip charging. With a wall wart that supplies 2amps, a full charge would only take 1-1.5 hours. Something to consider.

Cheers,
Steve

Edit Something like this would also be a great portable option for 2 amp zip charging.

Edit 2 Just in case you're not aware of this. DNA200 mods can be used while charging (pass through)

Pbusardo first look
A magnetic battery door open to a “user serviceable” battery, but it’s not going to be quite as easy as swapping out an 18650.
The balance connector is plug in, as are the mains, albeit under some heat wrap.
Getting the wires back in and making the battery door sit firmly again is a challenge.
I know, I lived it. Also, be gentle as leads could easily break….unfortunately, I know this first hand as well… see photos.
If you don’t need to take that battery out…don’t do it!! I’m not convinced this is a task for everyone.

Hi Guys.

Has anyone seen this yet?

Project Sub-Ohm S200 DNA 200 200W Box Mod

I’m interested what LiPo is inside and how the internals are wired.

A complete newb question as this is my first DNA200 device.

My diy VT200 enclosure from Hcigar is wired up and I'm charging it - I've set the capacity at 14.43.
Does this have any bearing on the charge levels and the capacity in the device monitor tab, or are these real world actual readings from the battery?

I have a VT200 and when I set mine to 14.43WH, the only thing it seemed to affect was the battery meter (I believe charging cutoff and soft battery cutoff are done off the actual voltage as read by the chip). Mine would go from about 1/4 to weak battery. When I changed it to 12WH, the meter seems to be much more accurate (I truly believe the supplied battery isn't 1300mah. I would say it's somewhere between 1000-1100mah). Other than the fact, I wish it really was 1300mah, I really like mine! Good luck with yours!

Cheers,
Steve

I put my crown on my dna200, both releaux and lavabox, set it at 60w. And it jumps up to 128 or even 140w when I have it set on 60? Only at times? giving me horribly dry hits and making me mad any ideas

You don't have it set in TC mode right. I'm sure you don't but that's one thing I could see doing that. Or if something is going on with both of your devices. What coil are you using for the crown?

What do you have your preheat set at? It comes factory set to 200 watts. I would suggest lowering it to around 100 or so if you haven't already done so in Escribe.

Cheers,
Steve

Edit I just saw the op isn't in TC. It was just a thought

Edit 2 The op was in TC after all.
