Didnât even check the link until I sat down at the PCâŚgiven this was a very nice direct link (thanks again!)âŚI wanted to read up a bit on the release threadâŚand so far, Iâve run across the following caveat in the ultra short two threads Iâve been into so far:

Do NOT upgrade your VaporShark DNA200 yet.
I have 3 DNA75 mods and 5 DNA200 mods. I upgraded all of them to the new firmware and they all work fine except the charging on the VS DNA200.
From the on screen USB Current field and a USB current meter, it looks
like the on board charger is ramping up to see how high it can charge.
It goes from 0.00a to 0.77a and then starts over again. Same values on
the mod and the meter. Plugged into my computer, it charges at a steady
.5a (+/- .02a). I donât have a 1a charger but I have a 700ma charger and
itâs showing the same behavior. Plugging into my computer shows a
stable .5a charging. I rolled back the firmware to the 2.23.16 version
and no change. [/quote]
Definitely recommend reading up a bit on this update a bit before applying itâŚas you may or not be affected depending on the device you have, as this is a âheftyâ revision.
Edit: Some promising notes though!!!
[quote=SquidgyB in post 655]Just wanted to pop in to confirm, SS TC is so much better now.
Shame 2A charging for the DNA 200 couldnât be a firmware update as well, but the new SS performance is more than I could ask for.[/quote]
[quote=Foodieksadh in post 656]Yep the new escribe version 1.2 is
great upgraded both my dna75 and dna200 ss316l is much smoother. One bug reported and i experienced myself is the battery indicator goes to zero
Sometimes. Just upload and download settings again.[/quote]
FWIW to those that are also trying to âmonitorâ their device settings/performance (with the goal of refining and tailoring to wire types, builds, atty, etc) while away from their pcâŚI recommend setting your main screen to reflect the following (this is while using 2016-02-29 (EScribe 1.0.42) mind you!):
Under the âScreenâ tab (in EScribe) > Running:
Ohms (Standard)
Last Temperature
Last Power
I then also run with âTemperature Dominantâ checked, and adjust my heat from there (while using power as a subset, only to make sure that Iâve got enough power to feed what the desired temperature should require).
Translating the above:
If you get good temperature at 30w, or 55w, or whatever in power mode, then you should use that as your base point of reference while trying to dial in the temperature from there, since you already know that youâve got enough âheatâ in power mode at your given setting.
Feel free to correct me if Iâm wrong here, or if someoneâs learned a better way, but this is the way Iâve come to view it (or at least my most effective methodology) over the last month or so of using my VT133 (limited experience, I know!).
I run mine in the same manner, 100w/520F Temp Dominant/2second Punch/316L. For the coils i run it is perfect for me and my custards.
I havent grabbed the new FW or escribe yet but i will be pretty quick here, dern wife has me downstairs watching Family Feud. As of late i have had to run in power mode as i have been have a couple TC issues with 316L.
Nice find! -Yeah, I think that the person who posted that did âtwo soft resetsâ (but itâs been a blur of a lot of reading in much too short a time) so it could be that he didnât do a hard reset (which is what removing the batteries does âby forceâ).
Iâm just so excited at the idea of having better/more accurate TC for SS that Iâm just giddy⌠but Iâm not sure if itâs giddy enough to not wait a âfew more daysâ to iron the âminor bugsâ out of a freshly minted new revision of software as well as firmware in the same breath. Especially considering that this is almost certainly being done in the âeyeâs of 8/8â staring blindly into their face. At least the updateâs out!!
My Protovapor Silo went to zero âbattery percentageâ as well until I restored the factory settings and then downloaded the service pack.
I am also seeing a Watts setting in the materials tabs that I havenât noticed before?
I agree! I mostly use the Titanium as it works the best on T/C .With SS I often have to go back to power âwattsâ mode as the T/C can get a little contrary at times and I still like a clapton kanthal vape at times.
This will be a great addition![quote=âSprkslfly, post:14, topic:78400â]
I plan on using that set to 15-20w for a quick shortcut to âburn offâ the gunk/goo during cotton change outs!

AlrightyâŚIâve read the bit there is to read for the moment (in both forums! lol) about the new DNA udpateâŚso Iâm gonna let this âmarinateâ for a little while I think before I dive in. Seems like itâs fairly safe to do so, but me being me (usually leaning to the play it safe side) Iâll wait for more reports from âJohn Q. Publicâ before I take the plunge! After all, Evolv themselves file this under âEarly Releaseâ and the âRecommendedâ still shows as being v1.0.42!
Thanks to those being willing to âbrave the rapidsâ on our behalf! chuckles and grins
I tried to use SS about a month or so ago, but I had issues with it in TC. This is just my opinion, but nothing gives as clean a taste as Ti in TC mode. SS is more popular than Ti but I think if more vapers would try Ti in TC mode maybe they will see that it does give a much deeper/cleaner taste with zero metal taste. I only run DNA mods so I canât comment on how other mods do with TI in TC mode.
YeahâŚquoting myself. What an odd feeling. But rereading this thread while it all soaks in, this statement lept out at me in major fashion, and produced two immediate thoughts.
Thank God that Iâm not them (Evolv)âŚthe time crunches that they must have been under in order to deliver this before âthe ball dropsâ.
The second? THANK YOU so much to the folks at Evolv for ALL you do, have done, and continue to do to support the products that youâve brought to market thus far. Theyâre appreciated beyond measure. As is your support of them!!!
Yes⌠Thanks to Evolv for clearing up all of my issues with mods that donât deliver what I need in a vape. Iâve been one happy vaper since I got my 1st DNA200.
After all, Evolv themselves file this under âEarly Releaseâ and the âRecommendedâ still shows as being v1.0.42!
