After several weeks of continuous happy trouble free use, my DNA200 decided to challenge me. from the time i opened the device, put a kangertech subtank on with a commercial Ni200 coil and set it 25W, 280C i was in vape heaven. Immediately it became my all day all night device.
However i know face a challenge that hopefully someone will have the answer to or confirm my worst fear that I have a faulty unit.
6 weeks in and all is good, after the initial set up that isn't as daunting as some make out, out of the blue, without any changes to the settings the vape gets hot and tastes burnt. Time for a new coil right? One or two puffs later my coil blows up with a mighty plop that fills my cheeks, nearly breaking a tooth and the worst dry hit burnt wik being taste forced down my throat.
New coil in and right away the same burnt taste. a couple of vapes later and bang, the coils pops again. Next new coil, now very apprehensive and i notice that although i have the device limited to 25W when i push the button it is shooting to 150W+ for a millisecond. Keeping in mind the commercial coils are rated 20W - 45W. Take the batteries out and reboot the device and all is good in the land of DNA200.
A couple of vapes later and the burnt hot vape is back and ramp up power is back to 150W+ despite the 25W setting. Must be a faulty tank. New tank on and exactly the same. If you have ever had a coil pop on you, you will understand my apprehension so i put in a new none temp coil in. Eureka the device does not go past 25W but obviously no temp control.
wanting to use the temp control functions I Open a new box of Ni200 coils, put a new coil in the new tank and 150W+ again. I put on another tank that is working perfectly at 28W 280C on my Joytech and bang the coil pops again.
I have changed setting, coils and tanks but now I have run out of ideas and strongly suspect the device is faulty in temp control mode. Has anyone had any similar problems??????
