how to hack reflex

Evolv DNA products are famous for their customisability, and now someone has leaked how to make Reflex the most versatile pod system out there!

If you’re a seasoned vaper who missed the warmth and sweetness brought about by letting your devices operate at iffy higher temperatures, then this new trick is for you.

By following a few easy steps as laid out in this video, you can access features that allow you to alter how Reflex works, making it possible to mimic the performance of any other pod device out there. And more.

By creating custom curves and altering the parameters easily in Escribe, a whole new world of tailor made vaping is revealed. You want it to vape like a Caliburn G? No problem. Just download and upload the file in Escribe.

We know how awesome the community is when it comes to tinkering and creating customised features for DNA devices. Keep your eyes out for many more .ecig files and tips to come. We may even feature some here in our downloads section in the near future.

Reflex opens new horizons for the capability of e-cigarette devices. We can’t wait to see what everybody is going to do with them.

And now Evolv have made it available at an even greater price, it’s a great time to get your hands on one if you’ve not already done so. Reflex is available here.

Evolv Reflex & EScribe SP24 Update

Posted on by Rob Ellard
Evolv EScribe SP24 with Reflex Support

Nov

Evolv have released EScribe SP24 with updated functionality to support Reflex devices and likely includes any available minor firmware updates for their other board products.

First time users should be aware this is an update package, so if installing for the first time you should install SP17 HERE then upgrade to SP24

Reflex by Evolv is an e-cigarette specifically developed for smokers to closely simulate the smoking experience. It uses data models of conventional cigarettes, along with tightly controlled temperature control and air pressure monitoring to react and work “just like a cigarette”

At this time Reflex are only available for USA customers directly from Evolv’s website

A worldwide release is intended, expect an update when we know more.

One notable feature for Reflex devices in EScribe is the ability to add eliquid strength in mg in device monitor. This will then accurately track your nicotine usage per puff.

Here at Stealthvape HQ we’re pretty excited to see new developments as we’re sure you all are. It’s been a dreary post apocalyptic wasteland of samey but slightly different for a while (years) so it’s refreshing to see something as innovative as the technology and design behind Reflex.

We think that some time back, back to the early days when eGo devices were a new thing what we used to call ecigarettes branched into vaping and ecigarettes.

Vaping as we knew it became a fascinating cloudy sub culture, full of design innovation, sub  types, flavours, shiny things, hand checks. Growing into it’s own thing.

Ecigarettes, as we knew them in the dark ages were solely focussed on one prime directive. Quitting or cutting down smoking. And that side of the technology stalled, put on pause patiently waiting for Evolv to step in and continue saving smokers.

Vaping is a sport, smoking cessation is for life, literally.

Consider the cigarette solved

Escribe Battery Curves, TFR / TCR Curves and Mod Thermals Downloads

Curves are in baby!!

That’s right. Our awesome downloads section just got even more awesome.

We’ve created three brand new sections which are going to be fantastically useful. You’ll now find dedicated areas for TCR/ TFR Curves, Mod Thermals and Battery Discharge Curve CSVs. All in one easy to navigate place.

We want people to have the best possible experience when using our wire. By doing this we’re giving you the tools to achieve the best results when using a DNA mod in temperature control.

So what exactly are these mystical curvy things? 

Read on and we shall explain below.

TFR/ TCR Curves.

A TCR Curve (Temperature Co-efficient of Resistance) is a plotted chart depicting mathematical rises in a material’s resistance coefficient of the material’s temperature. For example, a Ni200 coil when heated will rise in resistance quite markedly. This rise can be predicted at a given temperature using whizzy maths, and a temperature controlled capable board will be able to use this information to maintain a temperature at the coil and prevent dry hits. It is the basis of all temperature control vaping. Props to Evolv for coming up with that sorcery.

A TFR (Temperature Factor of Resistance) is similar to TCR, but is based on actual observed measurements rather than pure mathematics. We built a complicated and probably quite dangerous rig and measured the TFR of our wire, giving us accurate real-life TFR data. Lars from Steam Engine (a genius and a gentleman) then used this data and translated it into downloadable CSV format to be used with DNA devices. We want people to have the best possible experience when using our wire. By doing this we’re giving you the tools to achieve the best results.

All our TFR/ TCR files can be found int the “Wire TFR Files” section of the downloads page here.

If you want to find out how we got our results, read our blog post on it here

Mod thermals

In order for Temperature Control and Replay to perform as accurately, efficiently and effectively as possible, the board needs to know the parameters in which it is calculating. The marvellous mind of the DNA constantly analyses, calibrates and controls a multitude of variables, and in doing so needs to understand it’s operating environment. The temperature sensor is situated on the board, so the DNA uses data collected from case analysis to accurately predict room temperature and the starting temperature of the coil. It does this by a real room temperature measurement being entered at the beginning of case analysis and then monitors board temperature during charging to understand how the internal mod temperature relates to the actual room temperature. Put simply, the board more accurately determines the starting temperature of the coil with this information.The information from TFR/ TCR curves can then be applied, using the case analysis data as the starting temperature point. This allows for greater accuracy in temperature.control and gives you the best vaping experience possible.

In this section of the Downloads facility we present you with Mod Case Thermal data for our devices. Feel free to download and use them according to your will.

Battery Discharge Curves.

 

Escribe has a function called “Battery Analyser” which allows you to run a cell discharge cycle according to cell cut-offs and various output wattages (the most common being 40 watts). The analyser carefully plots the voltage decrease as the cell is drained and generates data that can be outputted in .csv format. These curves can then be uploaded to your device to ensure the board is monitoring and reading the current state of your cell correctly whilst you are using it. Whilst this won’t magically add another 10,000 mAh to your battery, it will calibrate the monitoring and information display accurately according to the cells you are using. This way both you and the mod will know exactly the state of your cell and avoid any erroneous readings. 40% remaining  will be 40% usable charge and you won’t get diddled thinking it’s higher. 

We have a wide selection of curves available for many popularly used cells. We have csv data for single cells, 2S and 3S configurations. We shall add many more as they become available. Special thanks goes to Michael Schmidt for providing us with much data taken from his site dna200.de. We also offer up many curves generated by us using a resistor bank made up of two 200w 0.1ohm power resistors in series ,mounted onto an aluminium heatsink to disburse heat  We are running more tests and will be updating the site with curves regularly.

 

So where can we get these sexy curves?

Easy!

 In the Downloads section here.

 At Stealthvape we like to keep it simple, and are on a mission to make mod making as easy as possible. As well as providing you with the best, highest quality mod parts and materials, we believe in giving you more. We will be constantly updating the site with useful new info. Be sure to follow us on social media  for more upcoming handy new features.  Please like, share and comment on our posts and let us know what you’d like to see on the site.

TFR CSV Files For Our Wires

Posted on by Rob Ellard

 

What is TFR or Temperature Factor of Resistance?

Some materials may not follow a linear TCR completely accurately, so a TFR is based on observed resistance changes at a series of set temperatures that often follow a slight curve instead.

So why are you telling us this?

Well, being boffins, we created individual precise TFR’s for our Stealthvape wires that are suitable for use in temperature control. We built a very accurate PID controlled hotplate and monitored resistance changes in various coils suspended in a bath of silicone oil.

We used a platinum PT100 temperature sensor and also 2 k-type thermocouples and recorded temperatures from -17c to 0c and from 25c to 300c in 25c increments.

Lars from the mighty Steam Engine helped us use that information to create unique CSV’s for Evolv DNA boards which can be uploaded to devices using Escribe . These CSV’s for temperature control are available below.

You can find the following wire profiles in our download section

316L

NiFe30

Ni200

If using a mod that doesn’t accept TFR’s, you can often enter the TCR manually. Different mods sometimes expect a slightly different format.

Sometimes Ni200, for example, is usually 6000 but needs to be entered as 600, or 0006.

Based on the TFR test results, we’d suggest using the following values depending on the format the mod is expecting:

NifFe30 : 4920 or 492

316L : 883 or 88

Ni200 : 6230 or 623

Wires like Kanthal A1 and Nichrome 80 / Ni80 have a very low TCR, so don’t work in temperature control mode. Evolv DNA250C boards are able to use the Replay feature with Nichrome coils (with varying degree of success) by activating the “Allow on Dubious Coils” setting in Escribe. We won’t however be including Nichrome or Kanthal wires in our TFR measurements.
