Is the mod resistance set and what tcr or cvs are you using
The mod resistance etc where actually, to my great surprise, set from the factory. I've tried both the ss304 csv from steam-engine and tcr 0.0001016 (don't remember the number of zeros, but it's correct. Works on all my other atties).

i'm just gonna throw my trpubleshooting methods for when it instantly displays "TP". either my base res is way to low, as in, inaccurately low (short somewhere). the csv/tcr is too low of a number.

Hook it up to Escribe and at the bottom of the General Tab is Atomizer Analyzer. You will be able to see if your resistance, if it is stable or jumping all over the place. Check to see if your preheat is at 200 watts on the same general tab, you might want to lower it to 80-100. Finally you can click on the Device Manager and see what's going on as you take a puff. Will show the temperature rising and power being used. If I think of anything else I'll post or shoot you a PM.

Cheers,
Steve

I've checked the atomizer analyzer and the resistance is very stable, and about correct according to what the coil should be according to steam-engine. My watts are 50 and preheat 75, punch 8. Was 100 and higher punch earlier but I just got a slightly burnt hit. I'm new to escribe, but it seems about correct in the device monitor. It's just that it behaves like an atty that can't take much power at all. I know it actually can as it works perfectly at a much higher watt setting in vw mode. I'll try to see what it shows in vw mode in device monitor, if that's possible, and compare it to what it shows in tc.

My resistance (current coil) is around .5 so it should be fine. Csv (and tcr when I've trued) is correct as it works as expected with other atties. I think there's something wrong with the base, I just can't figure out what it could be.

any other mod you own that has an ss mode? see if it works on that. or even try it on a vw device. just to rule out your build. i think you're wrong on the .00010xxx number. take out a 0 try 0.001016

I have the Evic vtc mini and the Reuleaux rx200. Now the Serpent seems to work, though not as well as I'd expect, but earlier when it didn't it still worked perfectly in power mode. The tcr was 0.001016.

316 tcr 0.00092 and i'm pretty sure that's lowest tcr ive seen for ss. so 0.00010 would be crazy low, "not gonna work" low.
Yeah, I remembered it incorrectly. Tried to input the number I gave earlier and it wouldn't accept it, so 0.001016 it was.

the dna 200 can be a uppity b*tch when she wants to be. i find that when doing SS TC on the dna 200, it's best to turn the preheat power to 1 watt; punch to 1; and leave the time limit at 1 second. i dunno how the vtc would allow you more power to the coil without a burn hit where as your dna will give you a burnt hit. only tjing i can think of is, tcr still a little to high or u could just turn your temp down a smidge.
Ok, weird. Now it works fine, giving me about 20w at 230c, behaving pretty much like the Crius. Still, however, I get a lot more power from my Evic vtc mini before I get a burnt taste. Perhaps it's simply the DNA 200 chip that doesn't like me.

And it started misbehaving again... All of a sudden, without warning, it started giving me close to 40w (or so) and a burnt taste. Now, again without warning, it's down to less than 15w and a very cold vape. There is some resistance problem with this atty.

Down to 5w at it's lowest actually :-(

You sure your coil has no hot spots? Have you tried other attys? If it works with other attys, then it must be something funky with the Serpent.
Yes, I'm sure. Dry fired the latest one (five or so in less than 24h) in vw mode. Works perfectly on my Evic vtc mini (just a shame that it wobbles, and isn't black) so I'm gonna chuck it up to "doesn't play well with the Reuleaux DNA 200. In fact, I'm not overly impressed with the DNA 200. It's fun to play with, and a great diagnostic tool, but it's fiddly. It'll be my leave at home device not only due to it being more expensive. The DNA 200 version of the Reuleaux isn't worth $100 more than the rx200 (I paid $90 for mine so I'm still a happy camper).

I find it odd that you guys are so critical of the finest chip yet. perhaps being so it just has big shoes to fill. if this was the last chip made I would be more than happy with it. although I doubt it will be the last chip made. even so, some restrictions we do not like shall be placed upon vaping as we know it. I would be very surprised if this were the last chip made. for one thing good luck controlling what the Chinese do. however it remains that this chip and my myriad of devices that house it do the job just fine for me. other chips before this one fell short for me. sure, they will up the ante I imagine but I am tickled pink with this one. before this I thought sx was the cats meow. not even close now imo. wish they would update though. that I agree on.
Critical, I have had two VS break in the last month and each time I was in there someone else in the store either had theres break within 30 days or told me about how they just replaced theres. For a chip thats two times the price of the chinese comp, but self destructs at a incredibly high rate, I would say yihi knows something evolv doesnt... I did have one that was faultly, but the replacement is rock solid. Its ignorant to ignore this, no matter how advanced the chip is

It can be a wicking problem too
Was that in regard to my problems with the Serpent? In that case, it's certainly possible that my wicking isn't optimal, but considering that it now works great on my Evic I doubt it.

Well im no help then. Havent had the tank or mod. I have different dna 200.
Thanks for trying. It's really weird. Tried the Serpent on my rx200 as well. It's only on the DNA200 that the Serpent won't work well, and all other atties work well on the DNA200. Quantum entanglement/past life feuds or something perhaps...
