Yeah the Battery meter on the CHDNA clones is not very accurateWell, full day #1 with this mod is under my belt.
This morning, I started the day with a fully charged Sony 18650 X 2,600 mAh battery and commenced to vaping on a KFL+ with a fresh 2.0 ohm coil and ramie wick. And its twin with a different flavor.
I don't know about the rest of you, but when I get a new toy such as this, I vape on it more than usual.
Be real, if you get yourself a nice shiny new car, aren't you gonna go on a bit of a road trip?
Anyway, I started vaping on it at 7:00 A.M. this morning and switched back and forth between 10.5 and 12.5 watts all day depending on the RBA and flavor I was switching back and forth with.
I like to keep my taste buds interested.
It finally said "No More" with a "Low Battery" warning or something similar at 7:45 P.M.
Just shy of 13 hours of vaping overload is a win in my book
So I took the hint and connected the USB to a protected wall wart. And I did see a small red light peeking out at one side of the connecteor so I knew the circuit was active (?).
And I will be the first to admit, I am a stickler for battery safety which will explain the following.
Anyway, since I am likely to be in bed before charging is complete, I put the unit in a really, really large ceramic mixing bowl to charge so if something bad happens (and to be honest we really don't have that much info to go on with the reliability of this particular clone)
Did I already say I am paranoid about battery safety?
Anyway, I checked it after about 30 minutes after I connected the sucker and the battery gauge indicated it was indeed getting a charge.
Side trip to the battery gauge.
With a freshly charged battery, the gauge shows full (Duhh) but the gauge kinda gives you something to be concerned with as within about 30 minutes of heavy vaping (remember what I just said about new toy syndrome), it starts to go down faster than one would think.
Kinda hard to explain but it gets down the the 50% mark after just a couple of hours.
But then it just does not show much of a drain. And when you get down the the last 25% it just does not want to move until you get really close to the point where it tells you enough is enough and it give you the digital finger.
I just took a pause while writing this to take a peek.
After just about 45 minutes of charging, the gauge shows about a 25% charge so it is indeed working.
I am guessing about 3-1/2 to four more hours it will be charged via the 0.5 amp internal charger.
And chances are in a couple of hours either my bladder or my "Weenie" will wake me up and I will check the charge rate and see what is going on with it.
Also, before I forget, Doris of Focalecig contacted her supplier on my behalf and asked them if a green light would show when the charging is complete.
And the answer was yes!
And I am looking forward to seeing what happens with the charging process and I (as always) will share my findings with my vaping brothers and sisters.
And Vapor Joe as well if he ever bothers to read my rantings and ravings
Goodnight all!
May the Vape be with you
How it interpolates is odd IMHO I have tried VTC5's VTC4's LG 35amps and regular old Panasonic CGr's and it makes no sense how it can say half full and I check the voltage on the battery and its 3.9 maybe there are variations on the boards very possible

I have a friend that has the Fasttech clone and his says Evolv DNA he compared it against a Evolv DNA board not even the same chip layout I have heard claims its a 1:1 copy but not really.. There is a EEpom onboard for example the ChDNA clone my GF is using that we just got the Tobeco DNA says Tobeco when it starts up again who knows I think its possible that several suppliers are feedling Fasttech some of them could surely be Evolv Boards but if one knows what they are doing you can put anything you want on that screenI rather think there are different variations on the boards for these units. We already know that Innokin has started using the Evolv boards in the new version of the SVD and rumors have been flying around that Evolv has been supplying boards for use in the Chana Mods.
Heck, when mine comes out of sleep mode here is what is what I see on the display for a split second.
EVOLV
DNA
I have no way of checking it or comparing it to a certified Evolv DNA30 because I do not have one.
But it seems to function like my Evolv DNA20 except for the shorter amount of time it takes to go into sleep mode to save power but the screen dims in a similar fashion and when I switch my RBA from this one to one of my Evolv devices it shows the same resistance and the vapor hits the same way at the same setting..
No way to tell for sure.
But it does work
Same, yes. It's like you're half consciously prepping

Ah the good old days of tip and shake haha. I miss thatExactly so.
.....
And I developed a habit of turning it upside down every so often to make sure the wick had a supply of liquid available to feed the coil. I still do that totally unconsiosly to this day until someone ask me why I am doing that with my KFL+. But I have almost got that licked when using anything but my Vamo.
Almost
Yep and the quality seems to be getting better and better I am blown away by this Tobeco CHDna it it was a year ago I could have seen myself paying 200+ and not blinking...
Just tried every combination on both the cana dna and the evolv dna and got nowt!
while standing on your head and reciting the lord's prayer?
Well, it's meant to speed up if you keep it pressed. Is that what you mean?
It's working just fine. Just checked the magnet. No arcing. No marks. It's not hot. Vaping at 14 watts. So np. I'd rather do this and have the battery life. But you can clearly see the difference in length next to the sony vtc4 in the middle
Yeah I tried that before mt Cana caught fire did not worky
Well you got a special view of it in the end lol
I'm sure you don't know squat. You know what's good for you. That's something ain't itteach me obi wan.....but i warn you i am not a good student. i've been at this over 17 months and still know squat.
Well that's a really cool emojo. Ok I won't argue with you. But I also know better than to agree with a woman when she says these things. No dear, your btm doesn't look big in that, of course your cooking is nice, why I love it when you change your mind and don't tell me
And did you talk vu into getting that love button yet =ʘ‿ʘ=
It goes back to Miami, Opa Locka, Fl. for returns not ChinaThe RMA dance has begun. Fast Tech wants to know what is wrong with the Mod. If any of you has ever tried to return something you know it is a pain in the ass. I get to ask for a shipping label to send this damn thing back to China. "Nancy" has yet to understand why smoke rolling out of the mod could be a problem. I win either way. I can just put another board in it and go about my day. But, I paid 56.00 for it & feel it should work more than 12 hours. After about 15 emails or so, they think I will give up. Their wrong. I have nothing better to do than Vape, drink beer & email Nancy. It's an asset, or pitfall of being retired. I have roughly 15 more years left to live. I don't mind screwing with my new China friend for about 14 of 15 years. It's the principal of the thing.
This. Items shipped to US go back to Miami. I sent one back the other day.
I remember those days RJ. Gotta admit, I was impressed when I read you got into tanks & rebuilding, and higher wattage mods. Especially how you were saying you had no clue where to start (or something to that effect). I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.
If you don't already have one, get a basic rebuildable whatever. I never thought I'd get into it, thought it was too advanced for me. But I went with a rsst cause of all the insulation, practically impossible to short out. Practice away. If something isn't right, research & try again. Play around some & figure out what you like best. When you get used to it, then you have justification to get a new & cooler setup or upgrade.teach me obi wan.....but i warn you i am not a good student. i've been at this over 17 months and still know squat.
"" - they never start their own) and torn it apart with their Facebook knowledge it leaves people in a dilemma what to do. My answer to that is this, go to their profile, click on their posts and see if they've posted anything useful
Maybe start a thread on this instead of keeping up the hijacking. "Paid in a Nano second, have to wait for the Mail". Am I correct in thinking that you want instant gratification & your new purchase in your hot little hands immediately after paying? If so, maybe try a b&m. Or order stateside & pay the assinine next day delivery prices. Or try amazon & get that 1 hour drone delivery.
