HEADS UP!!! The batteries I got from vape nw I have only removed them once or twice. I noticed a tear in the plastic where the positive end cover starts and bear metal was showing. I think the lip on the positive end of the tray cut the battery cover.

Most reviewers on YouTube has mentioned this and for me to work around this I actually push the battery downwards towards the negative terminal before pulling the battery out. Just be patient with the battery sled, that's my advise. Enjoy the mod and vape on buddy!

I think what I did was use the battery ribbon to remove the battery. Thanks for the tip

So this is my first DNA200 and compared to my VS rDNA40 and VTC mini, my Reuleaux reads everything .01 lower then the other mods. I have the messed with the "mod resistance" setting using the recommended Wismec settings and a Youtube reviewer's recommended setting and still get .01 lower resistance reading. Am I messing something? Can resistance readings of atomizers be adjusted on the DNA200?
Yep sure can! Even if the settings that are inputted by either the factory or from the youtube reviewer are not up to your liking you can still adjust it further.

Hi Shigura,

Is megavape talking about loss, I notice there's a section under mod that tells you voltage loss, mine reads 0.003.

I believe it's Mod Resistance that he's talking about.
Yes that's it. I will continue to mess around with the numbers. I tried "0" value and that did nothing. What I was wondering is if you add a value to "Mod Resistance" does that + or - to the resistance reading of the atomizer on the screen?

I would think adding mod resistance would take away from atty resistance. Lets say your mod is reading .5 ohms but you put in the mod's resistance as .007. I would think it would subtract that internal resistance from the total to come up with the coils resistance. I haven't messed around with it to verify. It's just me thinking out loud.

Cheers,
Steve

Yes, the displayed ohm value can be changed by what the MR value is, but only if it has an abnormally high MR value set. If you have a .203 ohm coil, it'll show .20 on the screen; if you add .007 to the MR, that will put the internal reading at .196, which will still show .20 on the screen. But if you set the MR really high, say .05, that coil will now show .15 on the display screen.

I ordered another set of batts but I think I'll hold off and use them for something else. This thing charges super fast! The batts were at 75%, I plugged in the cord I use to charge my phone and it was at 100% in an hour or so.

On the subject of Ribbon-gate... I contacted evolv, just to see if the ribbon being under the firing pin would really be an issue. I received this response.

Hi Donna

This issue will eventually cause the screen to fail permanently. Because this is a known build issue we suggest you return it to your vendor or the maker for repair.

Thank You,

So apparently this is an issue and it's a "known build issue". I contacted vapenw, about this AND the chipped paint. I know it's an easy fix and I'll probably end up doing it but I'm curious to see what vapenw advises me to do. If they advise me to contact Wismec then I'll see what they suggest. Someone should be held responsible for selling us a product with a build issue that will cause an expensive device to fail.

I think I am understanding.. You can take away but you can't add to the atomizer resistance reading, correct? So... since mine reads .01 lower, it will have to stay that way since adding mod resistance deducts from the attys res reading on screen.
Well that kinda sucks, I thought the DNA200 could do this task if needed. I just need to add .01 to my resistance reading on screen hmm.. Don't other mods like the XCube can do this?

... I received a generic "fill in the return form and send it back to us at your expense" email. Since my device hasn't actually failed, their terms of warranty don't really apply.

Oh well... I emailed wismec. Explained my "situation" and asked them to advise me what to do.

I know I could just go ahead and fix:censored: the thing but I come from the land of Provape and Reosmods.. if something is wrong the maker is supposed to fix it. This is why I've always been hesitant to buy a PV with electronics from anyone except provape. The first time I do, THIS happens! I should have just bought a Radius and forgot about trying something with temp control.:(

I've not done it but I believe you can go onto Escribe and click on Atomizer Analyzer (it's on the first screen (General Tab) at the bottom), then click on Override Ohms. Seems like you should be able to do it there. That's all I can think of. Good luck!

Cheers,
Steve

Well, if you were just determined to add resistance, why not choose the ohm lock under the profile tab. It should display what it detects the ohm value is and you can add your .01 to it, upload and it'll be locked to that value.

I may have missed it earlier in the thread, but what's the reason you're wanting to add .01 ohms to the resistance?

Edit - or what Wings said!

@Wingsfan0310 thanks, I did see that option but I was just wondering if there was another solution so no matter what I screwed on it would read correctly.
@Landman I was wanting the Wismec DNA200 to read the resistances the same as my VS rDNA40 and my Evic VTC Mini.

Thanks for the recommendations :)

Glad I stumbled on this, although I wish I'd thought to do it sooner. Someone just bought me one of these for Xmas.. I know because they don't know vaping very well and had to call me while they were at my local vape shop. The reason they knew I wanted it was because I had JUST hung up my Sigelei 100w plus up and bought an IPV3 Li like 2-3 days ago, which was before I knew p4u was pretty much Sigelei, even though I don't regret the buy in the slighest. When I was there he pulled out the Jaybo first and let me hold it before I saw the pricetag. And man.. that thing just felt amazing in my hands compared to the box style of the Sigelei and IPV3 Li. That alone is a huge selling point. It's comfortable in the fist. (The Reuleaux)

Let me just say that knowing I have the Jaybo on the way in 18 days doesn't mean I have any plans of returning the IPV3 Li. AFAICT it has very similar functionally. I upgraded the firmware, so it's capable of 200w (Which I will probably never use near that much.. who knows once I go Ni or Ti to play with temperature control.) It has 5 memory settings for my wattage levels. The touch sensor was just a bad good idea. Yeah.. a bad good idea. It's gimmicky..and honestly, nice to use. But it's pointless when you have to wake the device up with the actual fire button to use it. I understand the issues it was causing otherwise however, and I'm just going to leave it turned off. I mean there's really enough with this device, that based on what I've read about the Jaybo, I honestly didn't see a NEED to get one, especially as the IPV3 Li is so new (to me).

But.. that moment I held the Reuleaux in the store said so much to me. It's feels like a solid build.. it doesn't dig into my hand when I fist it..and in my opinion it is probably going to be the most ergonomic box mod out there right now. I'd take it over the flasks even. And having experienced these box mods, there's just no way I'm going back to the mechanical route. I got over bulkiness and handfeel a long time ago. I prefer the ease of use. But now you're adding hand comfort to the picture of relatively safe digital sub ohm vaping using multiple batteries for longevity. And this sucker does that while using an additional battery. I'll try to give a shorter post about it after I've had time to play with it.. but that'll probably be after Christmas. I'm pretty eager to experience the DNA 200 as while it was being discontinued the DNA 20 was all the rave the last time I had actually logged into the forums.

And sorreh.. I got wordy.

Congrats @prawdaeh , no reason to apologize for being wordy. Your excited, I would be to. Just in case you haven't already, here's a link to the Escribe software and tutorial. It will give you something to do while waiting for your Christmas present. I love my DNA200 mods and I think you will too.

Cheers,
Steve

And thank you for your kind words. Definitely one thing I love about this forum. Some of the friendliest people on earth seem to flock here.
I think the most exciting thing about it is how much vaping has evolved every time I take a break from the forums or get frustrated with the current "best" of the vaping world and find myself tempted by the ease of analogs. Vaping has come such a long way from what it was when I started in 2010. 200 watts? Really? Temperature control? What?!?!? "Locking ohms".. awesome. When you look back to the beginnings when the 510 was deemed the bee's knees of vaping.. to less than a decade later we have things like DNA and YiHi, and bottom feeding RBA/RDA's.. it really is kind of amazing to see what people are coming up with in such a short period of time.
