Snowwolf Mfeng UX

[MrsP0721]

Anyone have this mod (or kit) yet? I can't find many consumer reviews. I got one that came in today and I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to turn off the automatic wattage setting.

This is a big con of this device.You can't change it.Every time you leave power mode and then return to it it will change wattage at the recommended value.

 

[MrsP0721]

I don't change from power mode, just change tanks... that really sucks! I fried a coil already because it 'recommended' double the wattage I normally vape it at. I'm waiting on a reply from the company, maybe there's a way to change it with a firmware update, I hope!

There is an upgrade firmware available I hope they fixed this problem.

Hello @MrsP0721, don't know if you're running the latest firmware and if not what it would fix.

Was also looking into NFE Tools aftermarket firmware (Red Panda for colour screen devices), but they don't seem to support the Snowwolf Mfeng UX. Which is a pity.

I did see there was an update, but my kids have been hogging the computer lol. I figured I'd download it later and see if it fixes that. I don't know how to even tell what firmware I have now! I just got it today, so I know there's stuff to learn, but that one thing is bugging the crap out of me already.

To find out what firmware is installed at your device,turn off your mod and then click fire button 20 times.

 

[MrsP0721]

Oh ok... thank you!

 

[MrsP0721]

That didn't do anything lol

 

[greek mule]

The 20 clicks on the fire button?Try to search the menu to find what firmware it is.
Or do you mean you did the upgrade but it did nothing?

 

[MrsP0721]

Sorry, the 20 clicks lol. There's nothing in the menu about firmware.

I'm calling two experts to help you to find the installed firmware of your device.They'll respond soon.

Thanks @greek mule – unfortunately I know nothing about this device. Looking at the FW update they state “Optimizing the ability to automatically detect matching power”. Not sure what is meant by that, the translation is pretty poor.

@MrsP0721 – it is ok to perform a firmware update with the same firmware that is already on your device if that is your concern. But I suspect your device has an older firmware. At least by performing the update, you’ll know what the firmware is.

What is critical is a successful update – it is best practice to shutdown all other application on your computer while conducting the update.

Edit: Just to add – the firmware comes compressed in a RAR format that is not natively supported by Windows. To un-compress the package you need a compatible application. 7-Zip is open source and free to use and supports many compression formats.

@Punk In Drublic thank you! I'll do the update and see what happens. My biggest problem with it isn't even necessarily that it automatically changes my wattage when I put a new tank on, it's that once I change it to the wattage I want, it doesn't change it right away. I'll lower the wattage and the first few fires are still at the higher wattage, then it'll go to whatever I set it on.

 

[Punk In Drublic]

That definitely sounds like a bug. Try the new firmware - if that doesn't work and the inconsistencies continue, perhaps contact Snowwolf. Good luck!

 

[MrsP0721]

@Punk In Drublic I contacted them, waiting to hear back. It wouldn't let me install an update, which usually means it already has the latest. I'll wait and see what they say. Thanks so much for everyone's help!
