after reading this (A.B. Dada's mod Resistance Finder Chart ) on how much resistance and voltage go to gether i realize that my dna is really doing nothing.

Ive built a dna 30 parallel battery mod that uses 18650s. no matter what type of resistance wire i put on it it will only go between3.4 and 3.8 volts. resistance is between .4 and 1.5. i dont understand why nothing is working. all the hits i get at 3.4 and 3.8 are weak and dont really do much.

The chip will not go past 3.8 volts on any setting and any coil/atomizer.
could this be because of wire guage?
bad connections?
batteries?

thanks for your help ecr

regular dna from evolv. 22 guage wire. sony vtc 5 fresh, paired charging.

rda is an omega and a nimbus, from .4 - 1.5 ohms.

someone said in the chat that it could possibly be a short on the board touching the box, or i might have put the batteries in backwards and shorted the board completely.


ide post picures but the forum wont let me.

What you are saying is not possible on the DNA chip.

The DNA chip has no buck converter so it cannot reduce battery voltage lower than what it's charge is. If you've got a freshly charged battery pushing 4.2 volts then that's the minimum that the DNA will deliver. If you make any wattage setting that results in a lower voltage then the DNA will simply run unregulated like a mech mod. It has to, it cannot reduce the voltage.

Also there is no voltage setting on a DNA chip. They operate in adjustable wattage only. You only see the voltage displayed when you try to fire the mod.

And finally, DNA will not work on anything below .5 ohms. The clones will go to .3ohms although at that resistance you're better off with a mech since you're drawing way more than 30 watts.

in the reply box third button from the right should allow you to post pics.

22 gauge is quite low. You can get a low ohm coil with 26 or 28 gauge as well. Are the coils touching the base or walls of your RDA?

And as droppy said did you put the battery inside the mod with the nipple facing the other way?

average, of course there isnt a button for voltage adjustment. im not an idiot.

if the voltage cant be lower than the batter, why is it?
even with differnt batteries? fresh batteries? parallel batteries?

voltage is always between 3.4 and 3.8 on ANY atomizer with ANY resistance and ANY wattage

want to quit, i thought you meant wiring inside the box.

wire for the coil is made with 28 guage.

In that case I think your unit is toast. Something wrong with the wiring? I don't have any answer but once you are at 10 posts go to the modder section I am sure someone there knows enough about it to help.


1.1 ohm coil fires 3.4 volts at 15 watts and 12 watts. jumps to 3.8 below 8 watts
