Dovpo OdinV2 DNA250C Low Battery?

Hardware Mods (regulated)
1

Good Morning All,
I just received a new Dovpo Odin V2 DNA250C mod, and I’ve noticed a possible problem - fully charged 21700 batteries that show as fully charged in other DNA100C devices I use, will not show as fully charged in the Odin V2. The best the Odin will show is approximately 75%, and I get similar results when I install 18650s, which show even lower - approximately 65% for those fully charged units.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a problem with this Odin where I should return it? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

I would say, definitely, Kirk! If it were me, I’d probably try plugging into the onboard charger, and see what happens before reaching out for a return. Were both the 21700’s and 18650’s matched pairs?

Thanks for the suggestions man.

Huh - interesting. The onboard charger came on briefly and then turned off with the freshly charged 21700s showing 70%.

The 18650s are matched and I actually mark my pairs with a paint marker. The 21700s are used in a single battery Lost Vape Thelema DNA100C, so they have never been run together as a pair. They are the same model of Holm Run batteries. However, all these Holm Tech batteries just came off the matching Holm Tech charger I use, and showed as fully charged in my Lost Vape Thelema DNA100C and Centaurus DNA250C. I’ve been researching the internet and found no references to this issue yet.

I don’t think of anything else it might be. Did you try spinning a tank on it, and see if it even works?

Yup - I’ve run it and it fires. I’ve opened an issue report with EcigOne.

Sounds like something’s up with it @CaptainKirk. If i’d just purchased it, I’d be returning it.

Ya do know evolv has a dedicated user forum that can help you diagnose the problem. It’s forum dot evolvapor dot com.

Well, I can’t seem to get a response from ECigOne anymore. They asked for video and data on the problem, but due to email attachment size limits, I can’t send a video, so I sent pictures. No response after a followup, so I’ll try again this week.

I had tried a Google search, but thanks for the reminder on the Evolve forums. I’m looking right now, and I see some history of battery problems, and frequently with the DNA250C. I ran a backup of the Odin V2 right out of the box, and then applied the most recent service pack that Escribe displayed. I restored the original software, charged the batteries again, and the Odin V2 only registers 68%. One thing I noticed is that in Escribe, the battery is set to 18650s, and there’s no drop down to change to 21700s? Is this normal? I’m going to start a thread in the Evolve forums also – thanks for the reminder @Wayneo.
