This issue has been talked about before. I think it has to do with the firmware. The thing that has helped me was to raise the watts. But I see you're already at 100 watts so it mat not help. Before I was told my settings weren't high enough. But looking at yours I see they were wrong.
Thanks!
I think it had something to do with the Raven's Moon RTA. I put the Velocity Mini on with a dual 8 wrap 24g SS316L and the G2 worked flawlessly all day. I left it in the shop and would go check it throughout the day.

So my G2 LE is now giving me the Damaged Atomizer screen on every atty except a Tobecco KF V5. WTF?

You definitely want to lock it.

My understanding is that you never set the resistance. You never lock it?
You are correct but whenever you switch tanks you have to hit the fire button while there is no tank on the mod. This resets the resistance to 0 so the mod can now read the new tank. If you don't you'll be working off the last tanks resistance which may or may not cause an error message.

Thank you. So you never lock just reset. When you vape Kanthal to you use the FSK settings with the new update? Or do you use Auto+

Nooooo
The manual says not to lock the resistance. This mod is different than all the others. Let your coils get to room temp, fire the mod with no atty attached to reset. Then attach your atty and hit the fire button for a nano second. The mod "locks" the room temp resistance all on its own. If you manually lock the resistance then it makes the mod act all wonky.

You want to let your atty sit for about 15 or 20 min before attaching it to the mod

Yeah man, this mod has a bit of a learning curve. Definitely gotta read the manual on this one. Also check out Ben from Hohmtech on youtube. He does a few great tutorials. Personally it don't matter what material I'm using. I just drop her in xxx mode adjust the FSK Curve and vape.

So you use .00002 in xxx and what about 17-25 FSK with a low build? And what about 100-120 watts?

No because I don't build nearly that low but some guys here do. Just as an example right now in my Griffin on my Slice I have dual SS 316 twisted wire ohming out at .10 in xxx mode at 60w and 480f with my FSK Curve set at 12%. The flavor and vapor are glorious.

There's a list on here somewhere for different wire types and their fsk settings. I currently have a basic 316 ss spaced coil in my Bachelor and it's running at a very low fsk compared to the list. I just start very low and slowly work up to where I want it. SS start at 9 or 10 and kanthal start at 2 or 3. Adjust up to where it feels right to you.

No nife though? Anyone try nife wire with it yet?

Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
I don't have any nife wire but it will work with any wire, just have to find the FSK % that works for it. I usually start with a low FSK, if it doesn't fire then keep increasing until the coils light up, that will be your low range. Not hot enough, turn up FSK, too hot turn FSK down, easy peasy.

My first impressions on G2. Overall extremely happy with my purchase:cheers:

The Good.
Vapes great! ..xxx mode 430*f 55w FSK @16. SS fused Clapton coil's @ .25
Vape quality on par with the DNA mods
Great battery life
Supreme fits perfect
Easy to learn software
Updating was a breeze on Windows 10
All settings are accessible on the mod itself

The bad.
The screen is crooked
The battery positive post Springs are weak
Fire button is hard to find at night
Longevity to be determined in 6-12 months

That sucks about the crooked screen @BoostAddict , the 3 G2's I still have are all straight and the 4th I sold to my friend was straight as well. Maybe since you have to ship one back anyway they will also swap out the one with the crooked screen.

The post springs for the batteries are not the strongest but I have never had any problems.

I got my first G2 a little over 3 months ago and it has been solid. I am happy to know that if I do have problems in the future the CS from Hohm has been great and they fix problems for those that have to send in for repair. Having companies like Hohm and Evolv here in the US is great, imagine having to send in a Chinese mod in for service.

As you can see i have no luck. One wrong and the other has the crooked screen. Still waiting on ecig customer service they still haven't responded to either issue. Support Ticket was issued/sent Friday morning.

So I updated the G2 and I have Kanthal as a choice. I set the mod at 100 watts and 460F. I then tried to set the FSK to 50% but it remains at 100% regardless of what I set it at. Vapes fine but is that normal if you choose Kanthal TC over xxx?

Check this fool out in the comments. Trying to tell me the FSK board is not a premium board. He goes on to say it's on par with a nameless board in the new Dotmod box. Smfh.

I gave you an upvote and comment on youtube for that ;)

I still have issues with the 510 pin though. My VT133 fires everything like a champ but the G2 is having issues with my RDAs. I sent an email to hohmtec to see if this is normal or not

This is what they said so far



My email___
Hello,

I was reaching out as I recently ordered the Hohm Wrecker G2 (received 08-20-06) and love the device. Matter of fact I liked it so much I ordered a 2nd one arriving today. But I noticed an issue with the 510 pin and wondered if this was normal. It works fine with my tank (TFV4) but with my RDAs (aeronaut, Tsunami 24, and So Horney) which seem to have a little bit shorter of a 510 connector, i get a lot of "damaged atomizer" messages. I noticed sometimes the 510 leans a little to the side. It's not stuck, it still springy but if i gently push it back to be centered then it seems to work fine, but it always goes back to the side eventually. Also I built a .06 ohm build and i got an "ohms restricted" error. The site says it fires down to .007 ohms so i was well above that. Not sure if that was normal either. Any response would be appreciated. Thanks

Their Response___

The 510-pin leaning slightly is very normal, as when an atomizer is placed on the device it straightens out on its own. As for why it's giving a damaged atomizer message, generally this is due to the resistance not being reset when a new atomizer is placed on the device. To reset resistance, you simply press the fire button without an atomizer on, it will say "connect atomizer" and the resistance of the new atty/tank will show up. If it's not due to this, unfortunately some companies do go way outside of the industry standard for 510 sizes. (Primarily due to some atty/tanks being made specifically for mechanicals with adjustable 510s)

As for the ohms restricted error, this is generally due to a poor connection, or the wattage being set too high to safely fire the coil on 2 18650 cells.

If you have any other questions, let me know.

Full transcript (minus the 2 emails in my post above) . Some interesting info
Me

Hi Hunter, Thanks for the quick response. I am aware of resetting the resistance. I'm what you would call an "advanced user" It has happened on 3 of my RDAs I've tried from 3 different companies. That doesn't seem normal. especially since they all fire fine on my VT133 and on the cheaper Xcube2.

The wattage one for the ohms restricted makes sense. I did get a little crazy with that build cause I wanted to test the .007 limit. Whats the max amperage the device will allow before it goes into "ohms restricted"

Them

Just wanted to make sure! We do have some features that even veteran vapors forget about occasionally. It *may* be due to a 510 issue, and you can definitely send it in via warranty to get that checked out. I just can't ensure that without seeing the device in person.

Max amperage is going to be based on the cells used primarily. We do suggest about 20 amp cells in the G2, so that would give you about 40 amps to work with. As I mentioned, the ohms restricted message can also appear if a lead isn't making correct contact with a post, bad connection, or a short causing an improper ohm read. (In addition to amperage limits).

Hope that helps out!




Me

No problem. Trust me I understand many people jump into vaping with advanced stuff and have no clue what they are doing lol. I'll wait and see how my 2nd one performs compared to the current one I'm using before I think about sending it in. If it's the same then it might just be a quirk of the mod itself. I'm assuming you don't sell Upgrades to components? You probably don't allow them to be self serviced anyway I'd guess.

As far as batteries go, it really shouldn't matter (as long as you use a good battery) it's normally regulated by the board. I only use LG HG2 (20 amp) , Samsung 30q (20 amp), and LG HB 6 (30 amp) and the HB6 doesn't provide any extra amperage in a box mod. Also since the batteries are series and not parallel, it should only allow 20 amp unless the board has a capacitor and buck/boost capability. The build that wouldn't fire was 39.8 amps (.06 ohms at 95 watts) but realistically as it heats up, the amperage would go down since it's SS316L wire and resistance increases as it gets hotter causing amps to decrease. Even with LG HB6 batteries it wouldn't fire and those could easily fire past their 30 rated amps. Some clarification would be appreciated. Thanks

Again I should mention that it wouldn't be the build or RDA since it's 3 different RDAs with 3 Different builds that all fire perfectly on 2 other devices

Them

We do allow self service, to a degree. If the modification directly connects to an issue with the device, then obviously there may be extra charges for warranty work. We will often send out basic components for self repair if it suits the device owner. For more advanced issues, we will generally ask that it be sent in for warranty to ensure there aren't any problems. Though upgrades for specific parts usually aren't available, as all the parts would be the same as your current ones.

As far as amperage regulation on the FSK, one of the things that allows us to go as low as we can (Actually lower than .007 with newest updates) is that the FSK board actually will account for the amperage of the cells as a safety feature. Cells that are damaged, or extremely low on amperage will be detected by the board and the amperage limit adjusted based on it. One of the "brains" of the chip is actually almost entirely devoted to this process. Obviously this is just one of the many safety processes to allow us to do this. There is a baseline amperage limit, but this is not given out, as it would cause confusion or issues for users(As it can change around) the baseline is just a safety backup. I would try firing that coil at around 30-50 watts, to see if it will fire on a lower amp load. Sorry about the misinformation in my last email, the cells would not be in parallel, so you are correct there. I must have been a little out of it when writing that specific part, sorry!

It may just be due to an incompatibility with those specific RDA styles, as before mentioned some go further outside of the industry standard than the G2 would be able to accept. If they do work on the new G2, then I'd send it in for warranty and we can check out the 510. We've tried to improve this on the Slice, allowing for more variations for 510 specs.



Me

Thanks for the update. My new one actually arrives tomorrow. I'll give it a try and let you know. As far as the other build I already changed it and don't feel like rebuilding it lol. I wasn't really intending on using it, I just wanted to give it a try to test the firing limit. I usually build between .1 and .2 ohms

So are they trying to say that all 3 RDAs I'm using are "below industry standard" size 510 pins? That sounds odd. Plus I'm not the only one here having the issue from what I've read so that even more RDAs. I wonder if they made the 510pin itself a little short?
