Ok DNA40 hitting temp help

[Altramagnus]

Sorry if this is in another thread, I am sure it is.

I just got my 40, wrapped a spaced .13 coil and wicked it up. No matter what the watts or temp setting I seem to hit temp really quick this not being able to take a decent pull off the atty. I must be doing something wrong, I have lowered the watts, raised temp and back and forth and I just don't get it.

I hope this isn't how this is going to be.


Coil - I think it turned out ok.

Any advise you guys can give is appreciated.

Try some pulse fires on a mech if you have one to test for hot legs.

No hot legs. Im baffeled. I guess i didnt expect it to hit TP so fast.

That is weird. My derringer works like a champ at about 450 and 35 watts. Perhaps monkey with the coil placement? You will need good air flow on the coil to keep heat down.

Maybe ill need to open the other side of the atty up for more air. Ill mess around with it mor later.

Thanks

What temp did you set? Is the wick soaked? Is it producing some vapor?

Try letting that atty sit for 30 min and put it back on, my wife's VF has done that a few times but only with the micro coils. But letting it sit for 30 min did the trick for ours and she is blowing clouds.

I had it set all over, I tried multiple combos trying to get it to work. I couldn't get vapor without temp cutoff unless I had it at 600f. Wick is soaked yes and it made a small stream of vapor.

Oddly enough I woke up this morning before work and messed with it a bit more. I managed to get it to 560f 23w and can get a decent vape. I will have to mess with it more when I am off Thursday, try more coils and different wicking sizes.

Thanks for the replies everyone, much appreciated.

There are only 3 reasons that I see that would cause the DNA40 board to hit temp limit quickly...

1) Hot leg
2) Insufficient wicking
3) Insufficient air flow

Troll RDA, both sides open, single coil. Not a air issue.
No hot legs that were visible at least.
Maybe to much wick, I will try less.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry to hear of your issues with your 40.

Very unusual to be hitting TP that fast especially at those high temp settings.

After you try playing with the wicking a bit, you may try building another coil (even though your current one looks great) and see if it changes anything.

Worst case scenario if it is a board issue the mod maker should take care of you, and if they won't Evolv WILL.

Once ya get it working properly its about as great a vape as you can get, personally ill never vape another non-TP/C chip again.

Best of luck!

If you suspect a wicking issue, drip straight on the coil and see if it changes.

Remove Atty from device and let it rest for some time, make sure it is at room temperature, place back on to device which is also at room temp and hopefully you'll get the new/same coil prompt, go with new coil. See if resetting the baseline helps

 

[Altramagnus]

Thanks everyone, I will report back once I have a chance to try everything.

First of all, check the coil as it tends to deform overtime. Second, check the wick, too much or too little will means less juice to cool down the coil. Hope this will help

 

[Altramagnus]

I wanted to report back to everyone, I now have a working coil running 1.3ohm @ 550f 25watts (I like a warmer vape) 100% VG. I am not getting the temp limit and no burnt hits.

THANK YOU to everyone who tried to help

Appreciated.

I have been struggling with this very issue. I've been battling inconsistent vapes with my VaporShark rDNA40 for almost a month now. I've tried different RDAs, different wire gauges, tooling with airflow, making sure my coil is proper (spaced, no hot spots, screwed down firm), and everything else people always suggest. I really want to believe that I do not have a faulty board, but it really should not be this impossible to find consistency. I am almost at my wit's end, and I'm on the verge of contacting VaporShark for repair/replacement, because at this point it's literally the only thing I haven't tried.

Sorry to hear about your frustrations, but I assure you, you are not alone. Good luck!

PS - Any updates since you posted this?

Same story for me -- my DNA 40 works great for a while -- like through 4-5 RDA refills then just goes crazy and starts firing my nickle in wattage mode or starts to hit temp limit when its not putting off any vapor and has plenty of juice...

the only thing left for me to try is titanium which i hear is more forgiving.

or send it off to evolve for a few weeks and see what they will do about it...
