Any different than what we have?

Well the md5sum is not the same, something is different.

 

[350ZMO]

Well the "whats new" is the same except for "Screen now stays bright for 2 seconds longer".

1. Battery % integrates surface volt, amp drop, and increases battery reading irregularity sensitivity
2. EPT valuation lock when switching AND changing modes
3. EPT valuation lock when powered off and/or batteries removed/changed
4. EPT valuation lock when atty removed and reattached
5. Resistance lock when switching AND changing modes
6. Resistance lock when powered off and/or batteries removed/changed
7. Resistance lock when atty removed and reattached
8. FSK Temp Curve sensitivity increased 1.5%
9. Reset EPT & Resistance valuation by hitting FIRE button when atty detached·
IF and/or WHEN you want to change tank, build, or coil…reset chip by pressing the FIRE button when no atty is attached, FSK chip will evaluate new attached coil/wire.

But it appears to me the screen does stay bright for 6s.

I'm not observing any difference from the test 2.4.7 and the released 2.4.7 myself.

Perhaps they removed a small bit of stale code or something then recompiled or just recompiled the unchanged code. I have never tried compiling the same unchanged code twice and checking the md5.

Theoretically it would be identical but without testing I couldn't say.

Did the update from 2.4.4 and it solved the primary problem I was having with it. I would get it dialed in just right for a build but, when I changed batteries, 9 times out of 10 it would not perform as it should post swap. Got so that I would dread the battery bar getting low. I’ve done 2 battery swaps so far (one was needed; the other one just to see what would happen) and it kept on working post swap perfectly.

Also, finally got a dual coil build working under TC. Had some NR/R/NR wire (Kanthal with Ni legs) and gave it a shot – worked great. 0.5 build with an FSK of 40%. Very nice performance and regulation at 450F.

There is one great thing I can say about the G2, the vape I get from it is better than my other devices. I always thought this was subjective so I tested, for me the G2 wins hands down.

I don't know why but perhaps it's accuracy or just the butter smooth DC signal.

THe g2 really does produce a good vape! I am sold. For me....as I stated earlier, I love the fact that I can put a cap on the heat of claptons while getting really quick ramp up time in TC mode. The quirkiness of the device and settings have become less noticeable the more I use it.

Ok, I'm game. Who has a good deal on a flat black unit? Not much on designs or colors.

Don't know mate, I purchased mine from vaporcube.

The regular edition costs a bit less so you will be saving money, the ones with aluminum showing through the engravings are the special edition.

Hohm tech is also offering a challenge. If you create a you tube video showing the device working properly, they will refund the cost of the mod to the first 250 people. So you can potentially get your money back!!

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and hopefully someone here can give me some advice on getting Kanthal temp control to work properly. First off, this box seems to work pretty well with prebuilt kanthal coils in temp control mode. But when I try builds with clapton wire I get the same bad results. This may be a long post as I've spent so much time trying to get this to work. I'm using UD fused clapton wire, 28x2+32 ga Kanthal wire. My builds were attempted using 9 different atomizers. 3 griffins, 2 avacodos, wotofo ice cubed, archon with upgraded velocity deck, jaybo indestructable, tobecco velocity and so far wasted about 45 feet of wire. All coil builds were done at 5.5 wraps around 2.5 mm jig. Every build resulted it pretty much the exact same results on every build and rta or rda's were attached at room temp before trying different settings. Every attempt I made I started off at 5% FSK Value in Kanthal Mode, 200 degrees F. @ 50 watts. It would rarely, but at times the very first fire would glow the coils red hot and watts would drop and remain at 41 watts. Most of the times it will throttle all the way to 0 almost instantly as I believe it should at those settings. I would then increase FSK Values by 5% trying to get the G2 to heat up the coils. Then at around 30% it would immediately glow the coils red and watts would throttle to 41% and remain there as long as I'm firing the device. When I go ahead and start backing down the FSK percentage it would continue glowing the coils red hot and watts remain firing at 41 watts. This would happen even after dropping it back down to 5 percent until the atomizer is cooled once again and detached. After reattachment the same process yields the same results. This is happening to 2 g2's that I own with the latest 2.2.7 firmwares and gave me the exact same results using the older 2.2.4 firmware. Has anyone got this box to work properly using rebuildable atomizers? Some how I think the company is falsely claiming that it will control virtually any wire. Perhaps maybe the DNA200's are still the superior board? If so I will immediately go back to my old devices. Any help in getting the g2 to work with kanthal claptons would be very much appreciated.

I have it limiting with Kanthal in both single and dual build attys, but I have not tried Clapton others may have. As far as control, no I can't call it that. Its not like you can set a temperature and expect it to be at that temperature with Kanthal. It will however limit but every time I pick it up, I have to fiddle with temp setting either to get it to fire at all or fire less.

With duals, each coil has to be tweaked so they both fire evenly and at the same time. Only way I know to do this is by dry-fire glowing them.

Kanthal mode, FSK set at 52%. 26g or 28g temco K1, 2.4.4 & 2.4.7 FW.

DNA200s are excellent, I have three of them but they won't limit Kanthal.

Hopefully future FW versions will fix this and hopefully before they release their next model.

I think this sums up the Kanthal experience in this thread, but you might want to read the previous posts for more info, and I have 6 videos on YT.

Thank you 350ZMO! Just watched your youtube videos and glad to see that others seem to be having issues trying to get Kanthal to work. Benjamin from Vapor Cube has also been trying to get me to set things correctly and seems nothing has been going right with the g2 in kantal temp control. I realize that the DNA 200's don't do kanthal in temp control but for what its worth I no longer see any reason not to go back to the DNA's. I guess the main factor in me trying out the G2 is that I wanted to control my fused clapton kanthal coils, but now it seems pretty clear that unless Hohm wrecker comes up with new updates that will make the device function correctly with Kanthal it has no benefit or advantage over the DNA chips in any other mode. I do hope as you do that Hohmtech will get this fixed in future updates. For now I will go back to using my DNA's. For others, who may have the DNA's I don't think it would be wise to waste their money thinking that the G2 controls Kanthal as an advantage because it simply doesn't seem to work offering no benefit. I just wish Hohmtech would revise their false claims in their advertising.

Are your claptons fully kanthal?

This is really unfortunate as I was pretty stoked when I saw twisted420 talking this up an I'm glad to know the truth about it. Im quite broke now but I was debating either picking this or the panzer dna200 up when I got some cash...

Is there any reason to pick one of these g2s up over a DNA device now? I ask because I have heard people saying that it has a pretty superior vape compared to the dna200 and other devices even without kanthal tc functioning properly. Can anyone weigh in on this?

 

[f1vefour]

I don't have a DNA200 so I can't comment, as far as power and vape quality the g2 is a fine device.

I love the way TC works with stainless, I'm not disappointed with the device at all. I think it's worth what costs, it has exceeded my expectations.

 

[johara45]

Are your claptons fully kanthal?

I'm not to sure about the UD fused claptons, I know that they have clapton's with nichrome cores or vice versa, but the fused clapton's they don't really state if the three wires used are all kanthal.

 

[f1vefour]

I don't think kanthal limiting can work with mixed wire, have you tried XXX mode?

I can't say that the G2 is inaccurate with the other wires, I just bought 2 of them with the idea that I wanted to try out kanthal in temp control, had trouble with the first one and thought I'd buy another one to compare and see if it was defective or not, but both had identical results. I did one build with titanium 1 coils but I couldn't really tell the difference between the vape quality with the DNA 200's and the G2. The thing I like about the the DNA's is that csv files are available for different wire types and I wouldn't have to "guess" what the different curves should be at, using steam engine I just put in my build values and that awesome site would calculate everything then I just download into the device, set watts and temp and didn't have much trouble from there. With the home wrecker G2 I would have to go and adjust FSK values to "guess" what 400F feels like. Not sure which device was accurate but If I remember correctly, 400 degrees seemed like a cold vape with the G2, and along with that it also for some reason seemed like it wasn't controlling the temperature as quickly or efficiently as the DNA. I would try to do a dry cotton burn test and set it just below the point where the cotton turned slightly brown then try and vape at that setting with the G2 and it seemed quite a bit colder than vaping with the DNA. So that experience seemed strange for me. If I changed the FSK values to make it vape warmer it would scorch the cotton. To be honest I think I prefer the DNA boards as I have 5 of them and they all perform without incidents. These G2's seem a bit finicky and inconsistent. I haven't really had problems with inconsistency with the DNA.

mixed wire? As in multiple wires? Or different wire types? Never tried XXX mode thinking that I could get my desired results by adjusting FSK percentage? XXX mode I think is a little beyond me to figure out how to set everything? Looks a bit confusing so I haven't tried it.
