I thought these 3s lipo were rated 11.1V 900mah so it's 9.99 Wh. Am I missing something?
with a good quality lipo like the Fullymax brand, you can usually squeeze a tiny bit more than 10 wh's from it. usually not always.

with my particular pack i get the 'weak battery' message after i've used 10.50 - 10.60 wh's. somewhere around there. so to have some leeway, i put in 10.40.

you're correct tho. the calculated wh's for 3s 900 mah 11.1 v is 9.99 wh's. however, i'm using the actual available wh's rather than calculated.

It depends on the battery pack. They may be labeled 900mah but some packs made with the exact same cells are labeled 950 and the actual capacity varies. My DNA200 is set to 10.54wh. There's not much difference setting your mod to 10.54wh or 9.99wh.

If you want to be exact, run the battery analyzer.

Does the VaporShark site still have security issues?
good question, i hope not. when i bought my VS 200 a few weeks ago, i didn't go through the VS website. i was emailed what VS customer service called a "square invoice." filled it out with CC and address info and emailed it back to them.

Does anyone have a combination of Ecig and profiles files from Vapor Shark? Can sent those files to me via pm?

Thank you.
i think this is what you're looking for. this is where i found the entire vaporshark ecig file when vaporshark sent my device back with default evolv settings. hope this helps.

I'm wondering why my VS is reading cold ohms at a less value than what my coils should actually read.
I've noticed this on my Griffin with dual UD SS316L, readings are 0.02 ohms lower than what it should be, and this hugely affects performance. I put my Griffin with the same coils on my Smok X Cube 2, and they read 0.30 ohms. Got back to my VS and went into atomizer analyzer and it's stable, went to override ohms and set it to 0.30 ohms, and now it performs as it should.
Previously this has happened twice, and the mod adjusted itself after a short time.
I'm not sure what's going on, so if anyone has any thoughts, please enlighten me.

EDIT: In case you're wondering, my dual coils are 26ga UD SS316L, 9 wraps around a 3mm bit, reading 0.28 ohms on my VS, and reading 0.30 ohms on my X Cube 2.

Why do you assume that the Xcube is reading the resistance correctly and not the shark? It's far more likely that the opposite is the case.

Because of difference in performance, and because the VS has done it twice before, and readjusted itself automatically.
The point is, i know how my coils should perform with the SS csv file i'm using, so i know what to expect. But when the reading is off, performance greatly diminishes.
I might be missing something when setting up new coils with the VS, i just got more curious when it did not adjust itself after a while.

is your mod resistance set correctly in escribe? i know VS has it to .007
if you absolutely must have your toppers read the same as your xcube, you could change the value from VS's .007 to a lesser value in the mod resistance field.
also it wouldn't hurt to give your VS's 510 and your topper's 510's a good cleaning with some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip.
i would have to agree with kenD and say the evolv board is far more accurate when getting a correct base res reading when compared to a smok board.
i would just up the temp rather than lower the mod resistance tho.
hope u get it figured out.

Why would anyone think a chinese chip is more accurate than Evolv's chip???
Not even for a second, and that's what was driving me crazy. I never doubted the Evolv chip was less accurate than Smok's, but i knew that my coils should read 0.30 ohms the way i made them.
Now it turns out i had a loose connection/screw on my atty. After getting everything tight again, things are back to normal, and i'm having the best vape ever.
Just a reminder that i should make sure all my leads are tightened all the way.
I appreciate all the help, thanks @AtmizrOpin .

I kind of thought that was a funny question, because they usually are. We and/or the German's don't excel at tech, the Chinese do. They make pretty much every chip we use - and there are very few non chinese manufacturers that are any good. They have a cheap labor force, allowing the companies to put more money into r&d. It's sad to say - but truth is truth

However you'd think that they would have better programmers to make the software nicer! And easier to communicate with!

This. Alot of us are still thinking under the global environment of early to mid 2000. China manufactures a ton of stuff, some are garbage some are quality.

Manufacturing and designing/creating are two different things. The Chinese are great at reverse-engineering w/o any regards to global trademarks (WIPO). In the vaping market, they have yet to create any chip that rivals Evolv's chips. Yihi chips are close but their board layout is far behind in component technology.

Not arguing with you in terms of design originality or creation. Simply stating the fact that not all Chinese manufactured consumer electronics are of sub par value compared to their western counterpart.

Also, I believe Yihi's sx350J v2 came first before the DNA200. I have mods that use both boards. I prefer the interface of the DNA200.

Ok let me re-state - the chinese do manufacture garbage - but they also manufacture great tech items.

With less costs being devoted to things like I dont know, worker safety and salaries, and since they dont adhere to many regulations or well rules at all, they have a upper hand in this market.

They have more money for things like r&d. Yes, some use that extra money to do things like reverse engineer and pocket the extra, but some use it for R&D - and they make good products.

And since the US has very little manufacturing anymore - we dont put the same amount of time/effort/money into developing the greatest and newest and best anymore.

I'm not saying the US sucks (I live here and love it), just being honest about our shortcomings, and tech is one of them. There is a reason most these mods come from China.

I, personally, havent used a dna200 chip - I do have a sx mini ml (4 of them) and love them. But that wasnt guiding my remarks, I dont think the yihi chip is better than the dna chip (I would have no idea since I havent used the dna chip). I was stating that the Chinese are better positioned to make better tech and usually do so.

And yes - they also make .... tech too.
