Is it cllicking okay Bob? Yes it works okay, and re #500 above, followed those instructions to the T and I can at last vape @ 420°F BUT the vapour production is about 10% of what I can get on the VS and the TC keeps jumping in and out, and it is not feeling warm like it does on the VS, someone on e-cigarette-forum suggested it might be a calibration problem. Is your`s bevelled round the screen Bob? forget that lololol

Maybe worth taking the batteries out and re inserting them?

I got one from 3fvape and one from focal coming, I'll open them up and compare the boards when they're here. If either give me problems I will put a real board in it, happy to sell one for cost here if someone wants it. Bob is this your first DNA40, only reason I ask is the real ones are fickle beasts too so don't wright it off just because it's a clone just yet....stick with the most basic set up, ie a single coil on an atty you know, with screw head connections...posts are a PITA with ni200 and this board in my opinion. Make sure its reading the ohms within say 15% or it will give you burnt hits and play you up. These are copper screw head postive 510s yea? make sure your hitting the postive screw nice and tight on the atty, ie not just locking down on the flask top first....Sorry if you know all this but might help others too. Vaping and robby know their stuff and make it sound too easy sometimes...! No I have a genuine VS rDNA40 and the Doge-X I built for the VF works flawlessly on it @ 40w/410°F although it shows 0.12 ohms whereas the VF shows 0.09 ohms, the Doge-X has post holes and I know they are awkward, but this one does seem to make a good contact.

Got more info from Kangxin Think I've already said, press button it says "Hello!" with exclamation mark and then "KX-40D" it then shows the main screen with wattage and Temperature showing and nothing in the ohms but dashes, press fire and it asks "new up same down" press up and it then fires and shows 0.09 ohms, until next time I have to wake it up and it goes through it all again.

Well, would you adam and eve it at 420°F and am now getting clouds galore although the TC is still cutting in when it didn't on the VS, although I've upped it to 450°F and it's now stopped asking if it is new or same, took both batteries out and swapped them over trying just one at first, then when it worked I put the 2nd in. Now got to get in touch with 3fVape and let them know.

so, we know that Robby directly from kangxin fire from sleep, all ok, v3-550 bottom bobw1951 from 3fvape, also kangxin unit, delay from sleep fire ,v3 bottom greigster directly from kangxin, fire from sleep, all ok, v3 bottom nikki from other forum, directly from kangxin, recived few days ago, v3 bottom car147 directly from kangxin fire from sleep, all ok v3 bottom.
I think we should ask kangxin what is the newest batch, that with v3 or v3-550
Statistics most of them are v3 only and only bobw1951 got issue.
Just spoke with julia from kangxin, and she dont now english for sure, but what i understand that, now all vf are v3 only on bottom, and they dont have delay fire from sleep, she says if i understand correct that older batch have little delay.

I think you need to buy one matie33, the "V3" or "V3-55" is just a red herring just a change of hardware, I never had the label on the top of the box either.
