Guys, just a quick question here. Just got mine today, and it seems that the voltage always reads 0 while it lets you adjust the wattage. Is there a way to put this into v/v mode, or if not, in what case would this number actually be something other than zero?

Ok, haha yea i wasn't staring at the screen while I was vaping on it, so I missed that quick change of the voltage, but like you said, I just pressed it once quick and it does calculate the voltage just as you explained. Ok, great to know, thanks a ton!
I've read somewhere that the Voltage on the Cana is calculated and not measured... not sure if that's true... also not sure if I care.
But you'll notice that if your calculated voltage is below the current output voltage of your battery when you fire, your resistance number will flash. this is because the Cana cannot fire as low of voltage as you have it set for, because the DNA 30 chip is not buck boost chip and cannot put out a lower voltage that what is coming from the battery.
The new YiHi SX350 chip IS a buck boost chip and CAN output a lower voltage that is input from the battery.

But you'll notice that if your calculated voltage is below 4 volts when you fire, your resistance number will flash. this is because the Cana cannot fire as low of voltage as you have it set for, because the DNA 30 chip is not buck boost chip and cannot put out a lower voltage that what is coming from the battery, so it is defaulting to 4 volts. (or at least that is my understanding of it)

I thought the IPV 50 watt had the 330 chip but i definitely can be wrong lol. The SX 350 chip sells for close to $70.00 alone from what i have seen and you can buy the whole mod for $79.00 with coupon , seems like quite a bargain.
you're absolutely right, Herb! my bad. I was just writing that all from memory, and I guess I got confused.
good catch. thank you!
Yeah I knew the SX330 coulding do bucking, I just got confused on which one was actually in the IPV 50w.... I guess it was wishful thinking.
The DNA (and clones) does not "default" to 4v when you try to fire at wattage that would require less than 4v, but rather it fires unregulated voltage like a mech mod.
thanks, I went back and edited it so as not to confuse others. I knew I wasn't saying that right. That'll be the last time I make a post with out proof reading and checking my facts. I was in a rush and made hella mistakes.
So if the lowest volts this thing can go is 4v, how come most the time the reading is way below this?
Because you are setting the wattage too low.
If you set wattage too low the ohms reading will flash to let you know your vape is not regulated (ie firing at what you have it set to).

You guys seem real knowledgeable about these types of mods. So let me ask you. How come with the Fogger v4 on my sentinel m16 mech mod, I get serious flavor. But screwed on the Cana at 30w, it doesnt really compare?
Also, have you guys noticed that sometimes on the Cana I will have it say, set on like 20watts, then ill grab it to take a vape and it says 19.9. Right now i'm trying to convince myself its me doing something like hitting the down button on accident. But the buttons are so clicky, i think i would notice. Have you guys seen this? Also do not see my light turn green when done charging. The red light just shuts off. Thoughts?

The weird part is, it never is really flashing, just looks normal.
I have noticed it dropping down .1 watts as well.. as I think a few others on another thread were commenting on having the same issue. Not sure what causes this if it's coding issue on the chip or some weird safety feature.
Also, I noticed this morning that I couldn't see the green LED when it was fully charged. I thought it was just too bright in my bedroom with the morning sun to see it. I'll have to keep an eye on that.
Its a common issue. It never happens to me set at 30w but under that and it does.
Mine does not turn green no matter what. The light does dim though (nigh impossible to see unless in very very dark conditions)
What is your coil resistance? Anything below .6 ohms needs more than 30 watts to power it properly.
Ahh, ok, yes, the coil is a dual .5 build micro coil 26guage. So whats your recommendation here, go up a bit, how much?
Yea, I thought I was bugging out. Im like ..., am I this dumb that I don't feel or hear a loud "CLICK" and keep hitting it like a meat head? And the most handling I do with it is pick it up off the table, and put it back down. VERY weird. I have been reading a lot of reviews lately on it, and had never heard of the .1 volt drop. I guess still, for the price its not that big of a deal. But good to know a full 30w this doesn't happen. And yes, definitely just notice that red light go out on the LED, but still do see it on the charging input. Thats how I know its finished. Green light would have been better of course lol. And it not coming with a small dent/knick on the side would have been even better. I am one of those crazy people who try my best to keep my stuff in good shape, so that kind of bothered me a bit. But this one works well, so I guess ill suck it up lol.
