I would think that the mod would need power from the cable with it's battery removed.
Do you suppose they supplied you with a charge only cable? Lots of lost vape Orions shipped that way.
I must have been supplied a charge only cable. I tried one other usb cable earlier and it must have been a charge only as well. But... It does make a difference. :)

There is no such thing. You can have USB power only cables, but not a data only cable. No power differential between input and output = no data transfer.

BTW, both of my units could not be flashed with a proper cable I am using for dna flashing without any issue. The two replacement units flashed trouble free.

Cheers
Interesting

So my work around for no battery voltage on the screen is to place it into bypass mode. It updates as it's firing so I was able to see it's very respectable voltage drop by firing a 0.24 ohm deal at 4 volts. I'm using a Samsung 30T, it barely dropped.

UPDATE...
DovpoUSA emailed me and advised that he had several failed attempted updates to TC also. He said that the engineer team determined that a USB Data cable must be used to facilitate a successful update.
I came home tonight and got the USB cable from my Harmony Remote Control and tried again.. Worked on the 1st attempt. I now have TC and am a happy Topside owner! :)
Hope this helps others with the same issue.

Why weren't you using the provided cable?

Just curious is it leaking from the underside of the 510 or running out of the RDA? Mine squonks really easy almost too easy and I've a few times over done it (especially when its full of juice) and flooded my rda out the air slots.
Well I had them for 9 days now and I have more experience with them. And I believe that is all it was. As it happened two more times and I definitely over squonked it those times. But been dry all other times. :)

These Dovpo Topside squonkers are spoiling me. As none of my other squonkers are getting hardly any use anymore. Everything else feels obsolete. :(
None of my anything other than Topsides are getting any use.

In my case it was/is not from over squonking. I made sure of that when I testing them numerous times, even covering the air holes with my fingers while bringing the liquid up and down about 30 time while watching it under a light through the hole the drip tip plugs into.

I can't get by with just the two Topsides I have so far (I usually run 5-6 flavors 24/7), so I have three Pico Squeeze 2's on line as well at the moment. But I do like the Topsides better, so a third one has been ordered while they can still be had. It could be here by mid week from this vendor. :thumbs:

Well dwcraig1, every squonker I have ever used gets wet under the RDA. It isn't any different on the Topside. I'm sure an o-ring can fix them. While I would prefer it stays dry under there, but I am okay with it as long as it never runs out where I can can see it and juice all over the mod. :)

I agree, my almost as new (Hcigar Inbox75) as the Topsides, required an o-ring there too. If it hadn't got down into the battery compartment I suppose I could have just let it go. It never became a problem otherwise. On the 2nd one I never gave it a chance to see if it would leak into the battery compartment so maybe it won't.

But unlike the Topside the Hcigar has a groove at the top of the 510 which may or may not be for an o-ring but it lets one fit there well.

Edit: so after looking at this picture I noticed that that far hex looks kind of bunged up, just reflections or something, perfect condition.
