I posted above they put the firmware with the presets on their FB page on the 3rd for both battery configurations... Just FYI.

Hello all,

I'm not sure this applies to the Efusion DUO 133, but I'm thinking it does, or should...

If you swap from the 3s LIPO to the 18650 sled, you will need to change the capacity, number of cells, as well as the battery discharge profile....

I would HOPE Efusion supplied those files for download to make it EASIER. I do not own the Efusion DUO, but I do have the Hotcig DX200, which is also a device that supports 3s LIPO as well as an 18650 option(does it a bit different, and in my opinion better, certainly much easier, and faster)... In any case when I switch between the 3s LIPO, and the 18650 I MUST use Escribe and at LEAST change the battery # of cells, and wh, or the device will NOT power on! It will only come on if I plug it into the usb port of the computer, OR is I HOLD the fire button down(only stays on WITH fire button pushed, release the button, it turns off). Once I change the settings, and upload them to the DNA200 it works fine.


One thing I am NOT sure of, IF you don't change/adjust the discharge profile, I don't think your battery meter will work correctly, and I don't think the device will charge properly either. I am also not certain that you will get the correct battery life, if this is not adjusted.....Again, I would hope efusion supplies the file... If NOT, someone could run the battery analyzer to get the correct values....Opinions?

I know you have to change the number of cells for the device to work. As for capacity and discharge curve, I believe that only affects rge accuracy of the battery meter. Since I would have to change the number of cells I would probably also change all of them. When the mod is recharging, it monitors the voltage of each individual cell so I really think the only mandatory thing you have to do is tell the mod how many cells are being used.

I have the DX200 with 3s Lipo and 2 x 18650 battery cradle (accessory). When I switched to the 18650 option I changed everything. Since switching over, I've never switched it back. Then again I have 3 other DNA200 mods that run on a 3s Lipo pack so I saw no reason to switch back. My DX200 is my 2 x 18650 mod, the Reuleaux 3 x 18650 mod (the ones I use if I need longer battery life or the ability to switch cells on the fly). I have two 900mah 3s Lipos and a 1300mah 3s Lipo. I have all my bases covered.:D

Cheers,
Steve

Ok, that makes sense. I was wondering how does it know what voltage to charge the cells to, as well as when the batteries are to low, BUT in thinking about it, that should be covered by the number of cells, and the Cell Soft cutoff????

Thank you;

Ok, sorry I didn't see that! I did take a look on their site though and didn't see anything.

No problem easy to miss and your information is still relevant if we choose to do it manually.
New look went with the synthetic wood.... It's not real wood FYI.

Guys what your thoughts about the Duo? It's comfortable to hold and use? The build quality is good? I'm really interested in one

I have a vs and a efusion.had a vt 200 .Going from vs to efusion takes a little getting used to. Efusion is bigger and fire button doesn't stick out. It's not uncomfortable I have big hands it's just different. Build is excellent on efusion. Vt 200 very comfortable in hand but battery life sucked. Vs comfortable battery life can be lived with due to 2 amp charging.

Read through our previous posts for pics and build comments. I think we all agree so far. Like @SteelDriver I also have big hands so it's very comfortable to me. Works like a charm. I think we all agree the negative is the panels. And I don't care about that since you can get something elsewhere and I'm happy with the carbon fiber ones that come installed anyway. Would I buy another one? Probably depends on the price. I got a great deal. I love my G2 more even though it's ugly.

Just an update, got my replacement. Works great! Got the carbon fiber panels off with a tiny flathead but yes it was a complete bitch. Up and down buttons rattle a bit but nothing crazy. Looks and works fantastic with the TM2 with trinity glass top cap

Just in case people are still reading this thread to make a purchasing decision- mine died on me today so it's going back. Just stopped working.

Died as in lights out. Was working like a champ ever since I got it. Used it every single day. Was using it this morning. Picked it up to vape after a break and nothing. Changed batts. Still nothing. Won't power up.

If you can get it to power up in Escribe then the fuse has probably blown.

Sounds like the fuse blew. The way I understand it the fuse is between the Battery and board but the USB bypasses the fuse.

One other possibility might be the connector that connects the battery sled to the board may have come loose. Id look at that, might just have to push the connection tighter a bit. That would be nice if it's only that.

Check out the video at about the 5:55 mark to see what I'm referring to.

Steve

nope tight as can be. I'm sure it's the fuse. Funny thing is after I contacted the vendor about it I got an email from them that my vt75 shipped.

What were you running before this for settings and with what battery setup?
Just FYI mine is still kicking and it's my go to mod right now.

Thanks hvymtl
So duo came yesterday,the damn thing was rattling, I thought there was a loose piece inside the package,
I opened the package it fucking naked
Carbon is not installed, well I guess reading from the comments that was a good thing. But it's fucking annoying, the carbon fiber didn't come with 3m tape or anything to stick them on
ITs a BLACK DUO BTW!!
back to the buttons, they were crap!
Rattling like a fucking rattle snake, for how much I paid for it, I shouldn't have any rattling at all, like i told them
This is not 2013 this is 2016... I'm ocd I don't like clinking, rAtling don't like that shit, I was excited about this effusion, it turn out to be DISAPPOINTMENT!!
I contacted vendor, I will be returning the duo tom.. I told vendor
IF YOU CANT FIND ME one THAT DOESN'T RATTLE GIVE MY FUCKING MONEY BACK!! Fucking done with this aluminum crap...I should've waited for the new WISMEC DNA, not the RELEAUX ..
I emailed lost VAPE,I twitted them, I dm them on IG... They shouldn't be sending vendors crappy products, that shit not right!!!

What Wismec DNA (besides the Reuleaux)? Evolv is currently suing Wismec and I would be very surprised if there will be anymore Wismec products with a DNA board in them.

Wtf?!
No wonder they created rx200s?!
I was told there was gonna be another Wismec DNA not design by jaybo

Are you thinking of the one Lost Vape is about to release (I think it's the Triad)? It's got the same shape as the Reuleaux but with a centered, raised 510.

Cheers,
Steve

Edit @ej1024 here's a link to the thread that talks about that mod. Seems like an improved version of the Reuleaux and it will be using a DNA200 chip.

I'm staying away from lost VAPE, I don't want another RELEAUX looking mod, I have 2 already, that's why the duo was perfect and fucked up!!

If you guys are looking for a few more panel options for your Duo you guys can look over this site. I have not done it for awhile but you used to be able to request up to 5 different sample sheets and then at checkout double each of your 5 choices. I looked it over real quick and did not see any abalone but they do have some stone and wood options.

I'm not saying all of the duo are bad,
I just can't stand the rattles, I tried both 18650 and LIPO and it felt really good in the hand, big difference from my RELEUAXs, I researched around,button rattles really exist some folks aren't bothered by it, some folks ignored it, some folks can live with it, NOT ME, hopefully mfs find me one that doesn't rattle and shit...
To be continued....

Lipos or Duals 18650? Are you guys charging (and it's safe to) the dual 18650 thought the USB?
I don't have this particular DNA200 mod but I have quite a few DNA200's that use Lipos and 18650's. I would normally not charge my 18650's in a mod but in the DNA200 case, it is safe. They have a very good built in balanced charger (The DNA200 chip). However I usually charge my 18650's with a charger (faster) and Lipos on board. Hope that helps!

Steve

Got my rma and its all boxed up to ship back tomorrow. Asking for a replacement. I'm giving it another shot because it was an awesome mod until it died on me. I better not get a rattle-y one back.

I have a Vapor shark and I had a vt200. Liked the vt good in hand lightweight good build but battery life sucked. Vapor shark is very nice in hand built great battery can be lived with due to 2 amp charging. The duo is bigger in hand but not uncomfortable just different feel and built good as Vapor shark.

Thanks. The VS is something I've always thought about getting but never did due to the battery even though it's got 2 amp charging. Duo was comfortable for me since I've got big hands too.
