Hcigar VT75 Escribe settings

[Wingsfan0310]

Another bit here. So far not real impressed with the VT75. Yes maybe a bit unfair since I have the LB to compare it to. This thing is clunky feeling. The threads are terrible on the door. Those things I can live with as I bought it for a total out and about beater dna. What concerns me the most is how fast it heats up. The whole mods gets very warm with what I consider casual vaping. It will make a great hand warmer for the up coming winter. The LB stays cool at all times...What I do like. The looks are nice, the screen is fantastic. It will take up to 30mm toppers. I can use 18650 batts. And the price, well, 50 bucks.

It's funny that you said that. I already had my BR LB75 when that sale hit. I thought about getting one. I didn't because of just what you said. I figured it was not going to fare well in a comparison between the two. I had it in the cart but just couldn't pull the trigger. I'm not a fan of the screw on battery caps either.

Cheers,
Steve

I bought the LB the night before this went on sale. I asked myself why, then figured why not lol. I somehow thought the threads would not be as bad as reported on the nano. I am wrong sadly. I have used anti seize compound on mechs for years with good results. The threads aren't really the issue. It's getting them started. They should have made the button thicker with a courser thread. This fine threading stinks. I may just dedicate a battery for this mod. It would make things easier just charging through usb.

Voltage drop, battery sag is killing any potential this board has. I'm pushing a .4 dual coil 430ss @ 55w and 450 temp. The vape drops off when the battery is around 3.7-3.5v. Battery bar flash when showing half bar. I thought I had a dead cell lol. I thought my setup would not have taxed the battery so bad. I had the preheat at 1sec @ 75w, punch @5.
I've since turned preheat off, turned down all screens. Dropped watts to 45w. Pretty much limited everything so to push the power to the battery. With all that done, It's a pretty weak and disappointing vape. I guess I need to limit what I build for this VT75. Here's a graph @45w no preheat, temp 450. Still pretty bad V drop.

 

[mjag]

Yeah, it is really not meant for a low ohm build, I was running a tank with a 0.11 build in it and about halfway vaping at 65 watts I started getting weak battery messages. I have been running my Limitless Plus with a .20 build since yesterday at a conservative 45 watts and it has been great. Haven't really ventured into TC much yet, pretty much mostly power mode.

I do like the VT75 better than my only other DNA75, the SMY. No real difference in the vape quality, there both the same chip but I do enjoy the longer battery life as long as I am using a sensible resistance on it.

If you don't mind me asking, What cell were you using? Some might perform better than others. I'm not blaming it all on that though.

Edit One other question: What is your soft cell cutoff set at?

 

[BoostAddict]

It looks like your profile is off for 430ss. Set your "temp set" in Device Monitor"so you can see how close it is to set point"..... it doesn't look close to 450F. Something is right. Was your mod cold when you put it on? Once you have a build on a dna you can't take it off. There are ways around this but Steve won't let me tell you how

I've tried Sammy blue 25r, and a Efest "35a" 3100 mah, same results. Working on a Basen 26650 with the recent changes I made. I'm running the 25r csv file. The efest was the first batt I used, It's over a year of gentle use old. The Sammy is pushing a year old and has been used for my upper limit vaping. I usually never go over 60w ever. So far with the current 45w setup, the Basen being brand newish is working fairly well. The graph is the Basen batt.
Soft cell is 2.9v

 

[BoostAddict]

This is my SMY DNA75 with a .26 coil 50w of preheat for 1 sec. It's a hot 415*f. 1st pic is preheat voltage. 2nd is after preheat

You're only at 375f and your setpoint is 450f. Something is wrong. Your cold ohms jumped also

How do you get those screen shots? I've got mine running daul fused claptons at.23 ohms and it dosen't look like that would post if I knew how.

It's been setting for a while. The first graph was warmed up...Something isn't right. It works as I would expect with a fresh batt. I doesn't take it long to become anemic.

Lol. I use to have it on TB, It vanished one day loooong time ago and I forgot about it...I just put it back
I just turned pre heat back on to 60w, 1s, 5 punch...Better, but it's been on charge soooo.

 

[MercuryVaper]

Still not getting close to set temp with preheat on @60.

 

[BoostAddict]

Take your tank off for 30 min and let it cool. Then try it again...

Allright i guess I dont know what I'm doing right click gets me nowhere and i cant find a start button I'm on Win 7

It's on the bottom left of your screen on Windows 7 and it's a circle

 

[Wingsfan0310]

Because you will tend to get a lot of sag. Evolv suggests you set the softcell cutoff at 2.75V (that's voltage under load - it will bounce back up. I've been getting good results on the BR LB75 using Samsung 25R Greens - there are practically brand new. I can drain the battery

I poked around on the evlov forum. I must have missed that. I'll put the sc cutoff back to 2.75v....I've had no issues with the LB so far, I'm also not pushing it at all. Kayfun...

Lol. Go to your start button and click it. A search box will appear. Type snipping. When it comes up you can then right click it to add it to your task bar. Hope this helps.

Ok got it thanks MV!! These are with the basen battery 40 watt 65 preheat on 4 hard 440 temp. I notice that mine only gets warm when I chain vape it or I vape it when it's hooked up to escribe

Oh good, you got it going. your graph looks good...When you grab a snip, you can hover over the top buttons to see which one is copy. Click the copy and then just paste in the post. It should show up full size.

 

[MercuryVaper]

Ok forgot what I was doing. My wife calls me chatty Cathy when I get on the forum lol...Anyhow, tank off for and hour or so. Same issue. I'll rebuild tomorrow. It might be the tank....Oops, I forgot to reset Cell cut off back to 2.75.

Just in case anyone is interested, Ecig city has the VT75 in a Stabilized Wood Special Edition. It's not cheap though, it's $249.99

I like my Blood Red Lavabox DNA75. I still prefer the DNA200 chip, but the BR LB DNA75 is nice for a change of pace, especially if I want a smaller mod. YMMV.

Do you have the latest version of escribe? The original DNA200 escribe won't work for the DNA75.

Damn, I'm on my phone and couldn't see what version of Escribe he was using. It never occurred to me EJ was using the DNA200 only version. I'm slipping lol. Good catch MJAG!

Edit Evolv put out 2 new versions, 1 on 8-5 and one on 8-8 that fixed a few bugs. That might be the 8-5 version. Like I said I'm not home atm, I'm just reading this on my phone which isn't optimal. I'll make sure the link is updated when I get home

The LED light settings are in the theme tab (near the bottom). I have mine set for Blue in regular operation. Red for Charging. Green for when the Charging is complete.

@ej1024 One more thing, you will notice with the update, the mod tab isn't visible now. To bring it back, click on:

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

The RX200 isn't a DNA device. It uses a Joyetech chip.
