VaporShark rDNA

[illitirit]

Finally i got my rdna40. Pretty happy with it other than the retailer sent me the wrong skin for it. They sent me an Rdna30 skins which doesnt fit the rdna40.

Does anyone know of a way to protect the screen? It seems like one of those screens that going to scratch just by looking at it.

The screen is recessed so it doesn't scratch that easily... Also the rdna 30 skin will fit the 40 with some stretching which is what I prefer because the skins loosen up after a time

im having a bit of a problem with my first build if someone could help me.

Ive tried like 4 builds so far and every one has not let me go below 490f temperature protection. This is even at like 13 watts.

I tried 28g 11 wraps 0.13 ohm single coil. When temperature protection is set @ 410f, i barely get a vape out of it @ 20 watts. It almost just instantly hits temp protect.
same with 30g duals 8 wraps 0.11 ohm. TP kicks in instantly at like 20 watts at any TP settings under 490.

It almost feels like there is a glitch in the software where anything under 490 doesnt work, and anything above 490 works.

Once I go 490 and above I get an awesome vape. But I purchased this to use @ 400-430 preferably. I feel like 490 can still burn wicks. Can anyone tell me what im doing wrong?

Im using marquis rda.

edit: forgot to mention my ohm readings are all spot on. There is no fluctuation. I made sure all connection points were tight as heck

edit 2 : Ok im a bit confused now since I have found out when you fire, the resistance should be going up. Mine does not, it just stays at 0.11 ohm. is there something wrong?

The resistance will go up but the reading will stay the same on the screen. I would guess that wicking and or airflow is the problem, or possibly you're not letting things cool enough before using.

illitirit:

Two quick tips,

1. Try allowing the atty and VS to rest for a while, more than 30 minutes;
2. Assuming you built the Marquis as a dual coil, Try a single coil first; when that works go for the duallie.

And assuming you built a vertical coil(s) consider the tip of a"wise guy" a ways back, namely inserting the cotton (or other wicking) before putting the coil into the atty...less chance of fouling the vertical coil.

Okay, that was three.

okay i just did a single coil 28g 0.11 ohm. Same exact problem. ANYTHING below 490f, any wattage i hit TP almost instantly. Once I put it past 490F and above, I get awesome performance at any wattage.

Do i have a faulty chip?

I am a bit confused. Am i supposed to be hitting TP? I find it a bit wierd that im hitting 420F with 12 watts, is that even possible while drawing?

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's faulty, I was wondering the same thing when I was having difficulties but it turned out to be a problem with the RDA I was using. Your symptoms are different than mine but it wouldn't hurt to try it with a different topper, Lemos and KFLs seem to be the preferred toppers for nickel builds.

If you think about it logically(assuming the device is working correctly) the device either thinks that your resistance is lower and not applying enough volts or wicking and airflow isn't able to keep it below that temp. Hot spots are another possibility but I would think that should create some harshness, you can test for that by firing the bare coil with TP set at 600 and if you see any glowing you have a hot spot.

Edit: scratch the resistance is reading lower part, that wouldn't explain TP, though an incorrect reading could throw off the resistance curve it uses to make temp calculations.

ok so i just fired the coil with TP @ 600 and the coil does not glow at all. So that means TP is working right?

It almost feels like TP is working above anything 490f, anything below 490f it is broken

Yeah I can't get the marquis working either... But little vape probably means bad connection or the temp hadn't settled when u put on the atty

 

[illitirit]

ok yeah theres something up. On a bare coil i fired @ 1 watts 600f and it hit TP in like 5 seconds....... any ideas???

I'm not that versed on all things rDNA 40 so I'm really not sure what to suggest to you.

One thing that springs to mind- if you have another battery switch it out- see if that makes a difference.

already tried 3 diff batteries.

I also just rebuilt 3 other toppers to rule out the chance that my marquis was the problem. No, its not. They all have the same characteristics. anything under 490f any wattage even 1watt insta hits TP.

Wow, i am so disappointed right now after waiting all week for this. Has anyone else heard of this problem?

 

[illitirit]

ok wierd again. I just pulled the battery AGAIN. Now its working??? what the heck is going on with this thing. Now @ 410F I can vape to my hearts content. LOL im scared to take out the battery or change my dripper.



edit: okay yeah took out the battery, andddd now back to square one. Im highly disappointed with this device. I've already read all the dna40 threads prior to buying this so I am not blind building this. I know what to do and have watched all the tutorials. Probably going to return this.

 

[ScandaLeX]

I'm sorry you're having problems. Have you contacted them yet about this?

 

[2legsshrt]

Well I got my VS yesterday. I can't believe they don't put a manual in with it. Isn't there a way to dim and brighten the screen?

It's kinda hard to put a manual in there, given how much information there is on the dna40.

Your best bet would be to go online, and Google for the official evolv dna40 spec sheet. It'll give you all the information you need.

As far as I know, there's no settings for brightness. There is however a stealth mode, which I reckon is not what you're looking for

What type of coil are you using? Spaced coils are recommended for TP. It sounds like you have a short or hot leg which causes TP to activate immediately.

Well all I can say is the Provari P3 comes with a flash drive with the entire manual on it. Pretty simple if you ask me.

 

[2legsshrt]

I think from the 5 items they have on the side of the box I should be able to set it up before I put my Lemo on. I'm going to start at 390 15-20 watts. Then do I unlock it and is that where it will ask you if this is a new atty or the same.
