mosquito hotend verify heater problem

I just installed a mosquito magnum hotend and upgraded it with the slice 50w heater and rtd1000 thermistor. I've configured it for the thermistor and can't configure the heater. I can't find the heater settings in the printer files nor do I know what to set them to. the heater doesn't heat over 340 and also takes about 5 minutes to get to that temp and then I get the error. I can't find any info on it the only thing I changed for the heater was the max temp not sure how to do anything else

What are you trying to configure about the heater?

hi ive just put another slice 50w heater cartridge in and its doing the same thing. when i put the supplied 60w heater supplied with the rarig mosquito magnum it doesnt throw an error. i want to print at higher temps. i personally feel its heating slower than its supposed to. i have the boron nitride paste on the hotend. max temp is set to 450 i dont know what else to do

* 50w heater is very low * Because of the design it is easy to cool off the hotend when you turn on the part cooling fan * you will have to insulate the hotend to reach those temps * even if you reach that temp, are your EVA parts going to survive?
