So do you mean that the chip adds 0.07 ohms to the measured resistance? Even adding that would still Meen the resistance is reading high.

I'm just struggling to get a decent vape on the vaporshark in temperature control with any of my tanks at the moment.
I've tried about 8 different combinations of coils and tanks and the resistance is consistently reading high, whcih It wasn't doing this when I first got the mod last week.

Also All my saved profiles seem to be way off now compared to when I first set it up. for example, the Uwell Crown with the Ni200 coils was set at 490F, 110W and 130W preheat, and working great. Ive now got it set at 450F and 45W, no preheat and it's still getting too hot after a few vapes, although in device monitor it is only getting to 435F and not regulating Power? Using stainless coils is even worse.

Just tried to set it up again from a hard reboot. The NI coil at room temperature was reading 0.151 on the IPV and 0.169 on the vaporshark. After a hard reboot the coil was reading 0.191 ohms. Coil wasn't fired between these tests?

there's bad connection somewhere. whether its a cold solder joint on the 510 or where it's soldered to the board. i'd double check your mod resistance make sure it's .00xx and not .0xx. if it's doing it with all of your atty's then its the shark. rma time if you cant resolve it. from reading your post it screams poor connection "somewhere". what happens when you put an atty on, go into escribe, click atty analyzer, then with your atty screwed down tightly try and rock it back and forth. are ohms somewhat stable? or do they shift wildly?

What's the easiest way to test mod resistance.

I tried to check using the atomizer analyser on Escribe with a the pin from an electrical plug shorting the 510 connection. He reading was 0.0247. Allowing for the fact that the mod resistance is set to 0.007, does this mean the actual Mod resistance is 0.0177.
I just used my old doge V2 and shoved something like a 16 gauge full copper piece of wire in there.

you need to have the BIGGEST SHORT you could make. the bigger the short the more accurate. my reuleaux was 0,014 if I remember right.

I highly doubt VS made their mod so utterly perfect that the internal resistance is only 0,007

Ok after a couple more checks I think the mod resistance is 0.15 ohms.
Changed the setting in Escribe and it's now reading the cold ohms consistently with my other mods, and vaping really well again. Just wanted to check if it's OK to run it at a higher resistance like this, or if it's an indication of a problem with the mod, considering the factory default resistance is 0.007 ohms.

I contacted the vendor earlier, before I checked the mod resistance, and they asked me to return it. So not quite sure what to do now.

I've had my repaired DNA200 for a couple of weeks now and the fire button feels great. I haven't had random locks with it, even when I deliberately tried.

I've noticed that while it's on the larger size, it fits my hand better than my rDNA40 and since it's getting colder outside, I can throw it in my jacket pocket so it's not bad to carry around.

How come this thread is (almost)dead? No satisfied, no unsatisfied owners? What's happening.

I think folks experiencing problems post about them more than the satisfied customers with no issues.

That being said, I am so happy with my VS DNA200 I don't feel the urge to post about it ;)

Mine is still going strong and is used daily. I haven't had it lock up by itself once since I got the button replaced.

I ordered a sharkskin from SweetVapes.com a few weeks ago. The texture is different than my other sharkskins. It's slightly more coarse and doesn't get as oily as the others I have.

I wonder how many finish revisions they have had? Mine has never been used with a skin and is 3 months old with 23,000 puffs and it doesn't have scratch on it. The finish on mine does not have that rubbery feel to it, like my rDNA.
My rDNA is a whole other story. It has been used exclusively with a skin and I can scrape the coating off with my fingernail.

My VS200 finish has been holding up pretty well, at least as compared to my other VSs. There are two very small marks on the top where the finished has rubbed off and I see the metal, but both were caused by drops. Overall, I am happy with the finish and feel - don't see a real need to get a wrap or sleeve for it at this point.

Quick question I will ask here and on the DNA 200 thread. I've had the vs200 vt200 and the reuleaux. The vs200 has been saying check atty all of a sudden then I plug it into escribe and then it works. Then a hour later the same deal. I've tried 10 rdas that work on all of my other devices and unless I plug it in they won't work. After I plug it in and unplug the device it will work for a short time then it keeps repeating. I've had the worst luck with these DNA 200's and I baby them all, never dropped any of them and no juice or liquid overflow at all. I also am very careful with the 510 so it's not like I went crazy tightening it down. If anyone has any advice that would be awesome thanks. To me sounds like a crappy solder joint but I don't do electrical things I just build houses. Lol
