OK, I give up. Messed with my DNA75 settings a little and now I can't get back to where I was. I use temp control. My display had ohms, watts, and material displayed down the left side and the big readout on the right was my temperature. Now the big readout is watts and I'll be damned if I can figure out how to get it back to temp. Anyone know? Damn software!

This is for a 250 but the menu is the same. Cheat sheet. Hope it helps.

@Bronze Are they both an SS316L profile? Because I figured you had switched between profiles on the mod. If you're on profile 6 on the mod, you can keep changing profile 1 till hell freezes over, but nothing will change.

Glad it works again!
I don't know what you mean by changing profiles on the mod. There are no profiles in the mod (that I know of). Do you mean material? Yes, there are profiles in escribe that you can upload to the device.

The profiles in eScribe correlate directly with the profiles on the mod. If you don't lock your mod, but lock the temp or wattage (depending which one is shown in large on the right) by holding the up and down button for 2 seconds (until it shows POWER/TEMP LOCKED, PRESS UP AND DOWN) and then press either the up or down button 2 times in short succession you can then switch between the 8 profiles.

To clarify, these are not just material profiles, these are exactly profile 1 to 8 that you can customize and turn into whatever you like. If you name them, when you scroll through the profiles on the mod, you will see the name and the material that you've configured in eScribe in the specific profile. You could just have 8 different watt profiles for different tanks and/or builds.

I switched from power to TC about a year and a half ago. At first I didn't see much of an advantage but for whatever reason I stayed with it. A good many months went by and I hauled out my Radius again. Of course, the Radius is power mode only. I vaped on it for a bit and thought, wow...TC is definitely a better vape. It's more saturated. I think it's because I can take a larger hit with TC and I just get more flavor. It puts a ceiling on the heat so it actually expands my intake capacity. Power mode you have to regulate by toggling the fire button on and off...not an exact science. It's like when you have to stop your car suddenly. With ABS, you can stomp on the brakes and it will minimize the distance it takes to stop without sending you thru the windshield. Without ABS, you pump the brake hard and smash your head into the glass every time you pump it and it still takes three times the distance to stop versus ABS. :)

The problem I have with the Evolv chip isn't its performance. They in fact perform as good as any chip out there. My problem is there is no good, basic, rudimentary instructions on how to operate the damn thing. I don't fiddle with it enough to remember how to make my way around it. Go watch You Tube vids and it's always punks hopped up on testosterone who go right to the flashy stuff. And Evolv doesn't go out of their way either. At least they made the C version more user friendly. Maybe one day I'll own one.

Oh, don't get me wrong, @Bronze. As soon as I found out about TC vaping, I could see its advantages. No, I'm just lazy enough to be happy to have a simpler option. (It helps that I'm a low-power MTLer whose longest puffs go on for a mere two seconds.)

Ah HA!! That's how I did it! It is all coming back to me now. I kept thinking the modes were in the on board material list (there are four of them). But now that I tried it your way I see there are all 8 profiles in there and now remember using that menu to get to the temp dominant one. Good grief!! I got to remember how to get to that sub menu. Gonna write it in my dopey JAC manual.

Thanks bask!

I'm still a MTL. For many years, I vaped at 6 - 8 watts. :)

Even as a wattage vaper you have to figure out either how to scroll through profiles, because the standard DNA75 profile for wattage is profile 6 (called power ctrl), or, alternatively, change profile 1 into a wattage profile.
Fortunately, if done well, you only need to set it once and you can forget about it.

I understand why people would go for a Squid Industries mod as opposed to a Evolve chip. And the choice of Dovpo to just release a TC-less Topside (with optionally upgradeable firmware) first. Even that Pulse chip with the configurable menu options is awesome. I wish Evolve would do the same.
Just start with 2 or 3 profiles, which are removable and have the option to add extra.
Hardly anyone uses Nickel200 anyway. Why is it standard on the first 2 profiles??

Exactly this! One of the things I've always wondered about with Evolve; Their interface structure is kind of unintuitive. And they profile themselves as being "for the advanced vaper", but even the advanced vaper wants menus and controls that offer a nice workflow. I seriously love my simple ..., one button Dicodes Telegonos, because it's easier to operate than a DNA device.

The reason the C versions are somewhat easier to operate is because they have extra buttons now.

I didn't set anything, and my JAC is always where I want it to be. I am blessed.

I find Evolv's lack of interest in providing basic operating instructions and "unintuitive" menu structure to be close to a show stopper for me. I have better things to do with my time than dealing with lip from a damn e-cig. Just spell it out for me for Crisakes!

I didn't set anything
Hmm, might just be the Pipeline version then that has the basic DNA75 configuration, but I remember having to mess around with it for a while when I got it. Also because I wanted to try out TC, which was quite horrendous on the Wismec VaporFlask (in my experience).

Evolv's lack of interest
I'm not sure if it's lack of interest, but it's a good example of engineers making something that they think is exactly what's needed for good operation. When they saw the polls and it was clear that only few were using TC they started to develop Replay. Which, you know, is cool and all and works a lot better for a lot of people. But the largest fiddlyness was in the philosophy of the interface and functionality as well as in how intuitive is it for a basic user to operate.

Anyway, glad it's working now Bronze. :thumb:

You know, I still don't know how I managed to get out of that profile. I really don't. If I was clueless how to get in it to change it back to where it was then how in the hell did I get there to mess it up in the first place?

Reminds me many years ago driving in the middle of Illinois farmland. Nothing but farms forever. Drove and drove and drove before figuring I was lost beyond belief. What tipped me off was when I saw a brown dog leashed up to a mailbox post after seeing that same brown dog leashed up to the same mailbox post two hours earlier. I just went in a two hour circle. :facepalm:

Oh, wow, I needed to Google that. Now I finally understand why they call it "the crapper".
That's amazing. Dude had his own brass foundry and everything.

That is just the perfect closer to my evening. My eyes are falling shut.
Later friends and friendlies! :sleep:
