Intro To The "3DFS ALPHA" By: Digitalciggz.com

I'm still waiting to hear from anyone that's tried to use thier EQ in daylight and change the settings.

Also, I just found my EQ on (no auto shut off) after setting it down for 3 hours this afternoon - lied it down on its back- no atty installed and no juice in the unit.

Yeah the yellow/amber lights are impossible to see in the daylight. Hell I can barely see them under my fluorescent lights in my kitchen.

There's definitely some weird programming issues or something going on with the EQ. My pump stop working yesterday for no apparent reason and the only way to reset it was replace the battery. The IMR I took out was still reading 3.71 volts on my Fluke.


Just checked the green lights and they're worse than the amber.

Reporting in on LEDs....I cannot see them in the daylight but this works for me as I will be using it primarily in the house and at night....wouldn't have tested this out if not for the request.

Possible upgrades for the next generation?

 

[Drumonron]

I gotta say folks, this being a 1st version mod...it's in good form...can only imagine what the EQ V2 and/or V3 will be like. Whatever company carved this EQ out....never change from them...amazing and intricate details on this body leave me in awe...it's like a finely crafted European automobile.

With this pump, the possibilities are endless.

The Shadow feed injection system, is awesome....it's like going from horse & buggy to a BMW!

I'm a fanboy today.....EQ fanboys, Unite!

Here is what I do, I have a couple of different set ups but with running a 510 anything, I take the stock black Cart (Tip) that comes with the 510 Atty, I cut about a 1/4" off the bottom end so it fits in the Shadow proprietary feed adapter nicely, then I pop out the small round piece on the top and I wiggle in my drip tip, they end up fitting very nicely, you have to wiggle them a bit and work it in until it is in there nice and firm but they do go in nicely and fit perfect.

This provides me a much better vape, I know Jimho & Harpo say they never get juice in there mouth or on there lips but I do with every bottom feeder I use it seems and I have been asking for a tip that allows no juice to come back up through for a long time and I actually have 2 vendors working on something for me that I have designed and hopefully it they will be done soon but for now I suggest trying this it provides a superior vape in my opinion compared to just a single drip tip, ya it doesn't look the nicest but sometimes looks arent everything and performance Rules !

You will NOT get any juice in your mouth or even on your lips using this set up ! It also make the Draw exceptionally better in my opinion too.!

 

[mwa102464]

I would also like to report I have absolutely 0 problems with either of my 2 Eclispe on there performance to date, only small issue I have is my one battery cover screw may have been threaded a bit off but I'm waiting till I change a few more Batteries until I know for sure.

You posted yesterday that you have the voltage reset issue.

 

[Drumonron]

You posted yesterday that you have the voltage reset issue.

I wanted to confirm that my EQ#1 also has the voltage resets....I'll be vaping at 4.7 volts and it ALWAYS resets itself to 4.1...usually resets itself when I hit the fire button....only moments after putting it down, I'll pick it up, it's @ 4.7v and then I hit the fire button and it resets down to 4.1V.

I think that perhaps they did not isolate the led circuit(control), perhaps? I would suggest that someone at DC talk to someone else for a suggestion to fix this....someone has the solution and that someone needs to...

The problem, for me, is easily recreatible over and over and over.

Perhaps others have the same issue or it could be isolated to mine?

This, perhaps is an engineering or developer problem in the design or logic?

Same here as far as reproducing it. This is not happening with just 2.3 ohm and lower atomizers like has been suggested.

I am only using SR510 attys. I gotta get a multimeter....fluke 87 just died recently.

 

[mwa102464]

To me it is almost a safety feature though especially with HV Attys if it resets, if you happen to take a nice long hit after it has been sitting for a while and there is not enough juice in your Atty then you burn your wick, this may be a good thing that it resets back to a lower voltage in reality ( and I know you guys wont agree with me, I'm just stating my feelings on this ) ! I also dont see the big deal, so you take about 1 second and reset the voltage where you want it ? no wait 3-4 seconds. I highly doubt they are going to rebuild all the units because of this either, maybe there is another reason with the electronics why this is also happening that has to do with another feature on the Eclipse that is making it reset. Is this really that big of a deal ? to me it is not, maybe I'm the odd one out here but it's minuet to me. As for LED type lights they have never been to good in the sun either, so you have to cover the face of the unit to see it if you need to check your power cell level or do a voltage change or program, no biggie either for me. Dont attck me for this now, these are just my personal opinions and these things dont bother me at all, thats all

No one is stating whether it's a big or small problem only that it is in fact a flaw...this is to say that it is not behaving the way it was intended to behave.

Analogy: Your listening to the radio...it's a good song and you're really rocking it out and then it turns itself down from 11 to 3....okay, I can just turn it up again but WTF...!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Drumonron]

My solution:... I skip 4v range and go to 5v range....so my VV device is 4, 5 or 6 volt...easy?

Why would you have to skip and do this though Drum ? I dont get it ?

 

[harpo]

You remember the days of vaping a standard atomizer at 3.1 to 3.7 volts well this isn't much better if it only allows you to vape at a max of 4.2 volts. Plus if you look back at the post Jimho made with his test results the EQ should have failed when he tested with .5 ohms of resistance right away everytime and it didn't. So if it is a safety feature it's not working correctly and that's an issue.

 

[Drumonron]

Why would you have to skip and do this though Drum ? I dont get it ?

I would do this if I wanted 4.7V...I'd just settle for 5.1...it's a compromise so that I would not have to constantly keep pressing and holding and resetting back up to 4.7v.

 

[mwa102464]

Is this happening to you guys units all the time ? I have had it happen only a very minimal amount of times, if it is happening like every time you are using your unit then ya I guess it is an issue, but not one I am having myself with either one of mine, so I guess you have your gripes if it is an all the time occurrence, for me it isn't.

It's a very consistent phenomenon.

Here's an interesting one....it just reset itself from the 5v range back down to the 4v range with no interaction by me...I just decided to check and see if it was still in the 5v range and low and behold it revealed that I was now back in the 4v range. A previous check revealed that it was in fact in the 5v range(middle cluster of leds were on and now left most cluster is on).

I wonder if it is somehow an energy saver mode ? so if there is no use going on it resets to its lowest possible energy use, could this be possible ?

This is a question answered by that someone that someone needs to speak to reveal to us what this something is.
