dna 40 clone

[colli]

Hi have a hana clone bought from a very nice chap here
have been trying to play with the temp controls

I have some temp ni200 occ to go in the subtank
have built various ni200 28awg  coils on the kayfun, the rba section of the subtanks and a tugboat at varying resistances around the .02 area and everything keeps coming in with check atomizer.
have left everything at room temperature overnight set the temp in ranges of 400 to 450f to try and get it to work all coils are tight to the connection (wound around the screws) and tidy as they have been wound on a 3mm screw. connected to a multimeter giving the readings required but always it still shows "check atomizer"

while I appreciate the benefits from an original board (it's my intention to replace it with an original) are these just a no no with regards to temp control or am i doing something wrong?

done the usual

battery in battery out set it at off and removed battery , replaced battery and set it back on pressed fire to unlock and all the time is says check atomizer,

please help
thanks in advance

Sounds like your 510. Try pulling the pin up.

Have you tried the same tanks with a regular kanthal coil to rule out a problem with the 510 connection on the mod?

Edit: @windows ninja'd me.

when i change the coils they do indeed work fine Get Off My Cloud

510 seems to be all good @windows if i screw in my regular occ's or rba's they kick in like they should

just flummoxed really guessing ist's a sh1t board

As a mod it works really well with kanthal

just wanted to play with temp controls

Think i might have it. .02 might be too low try .05 which i use on a genuine.

Ok so we know it's not a short because your atomizers read on your ohm checker with the ni200 coil, and we know it's not the 510 because your tanks read ok on the mod with a kanthal coil installed.

Just reread your opening post did you really mean .02 ohms or was that a typo?
the minimum a DNA0 board will read is .10 ohms.

You did it again

the coils i have are .15 ni 200 in the occ
so should be good to go out of the foil wrapper between 20 - 45 watts but still it wont play ball
I wonder if I am not doing the correct button pushes to set it up
ie setting temp during lock mode, then pres fire once to set it, then release the lock and have wattage adjusted at 30 watts
installed atty pressed fire and result is "check atomizer"

Yeah i'll take that.
P.S how does yours read a .05 ohm coil the spec sheet says the minimum is .10 ohms?

[colli]

just rechecked and the bigger wrapped coild is reading 01 so i will try one with bigger coils but its gonna be quite a few wraps methinks

Bit stumped now unless the board is duff.

it is a clone and not really expected it to perform as an original dna40
must say the build inside is very tidy its a shame with the work on the internals if the board doesnt perform
