Still trying to understand,but enjoying

[john john whaur ye gon]

On my DAILY USE Mods dovpo topside, I am generally now about 60w for ramp up.my temp varies quite widly dependant on the juice,

Am i correct in saying that in temp ss setting the mod is calculating everything out automatically with an input setting in the chip, or it reads the coil and saves the setting ?

But if i go to tcr i have to put a manual setting in for the material say in eg 0.92 for ss316l. and that customises the temp more?

I want to understand just a bit more but ultimatley just have a basic knowledge to get my self tickled pink with my juice.
I now store my spare squonk bottles with factory cap, in a plastic centrifuge tube with cap, keeps spills contained, and handy going on holidays in case. I have small sticky labels with juice type and temp setting i seemed to like for that juice.old forgetfull not technical minded. I have read what i can and i think this is what i understand, Just looking for someone to say thats it my boy, Or don't talk
nonesence.

Seems fair enough to me John.
The important thing is locking in your resistance when both mod and coil are at room temperature. The mod then uses this as a reference point when calculating resistance rise and thus temperature.

TCR stands for Temperature Coefficient of Resistance.

It is a value that represents how much a given metal varies in resistance as the temperature of the metal changes.

So it allows the mod to calculate how the temperature of the coil is changing as power is applied to it, heating it up. It calculates this based on repeatedly measuring the resistance of the coil as you vape.

The mod will have default settings for TCR, for given metals (SS, Titanium, Nickel 200 etc for example).

If you are using a different metal, you can input the TCR value for that metal instead.

Or if you are experienced in temp control vaping, you might notice the vape isn't quite right and use an adjusted TCR value to tweak it.

But in general, you want to just play with the wattage and temperature values to get the vape you want.

You can just vape SS in wattage mode if you like, to find out the general wattage that works best for your atty and vaping style. But if you chain vape it, or take too long a draw, you might find it gets too hot.

This is where temp control comes in.

In temp control, the set wattage is the amount of power the mod will try to apply, whilst sensing the temperature of the coil.

If the wattage is too low, it won't produce enough vapour and will be too cool and wispy a vape.

If the wattage is too high, it will quickly reach the temperature you set, cut the power, and let the coil cool down before applying power again, giving you a fluctuating on/off type of vape.

So try the coil in wattage mode, vape it and find the right wattage where the vape feels good, but starts to get too hot.

Then use that wattage in temp control, and then set the temp value so the temperature never gets too hot.

So if fitting new coil and in ss mode in temp control there is an inbuilt calculation.
But if in tcr let the mod sit for a bit so coil etc get to room temp then set value?
In truth my flavours are coming out to a good taste for me,some i need a lot hoter to bring tastes out, and some are cooler, so i suppose in tcr i am customising the vape more. trying to find out that i am not going to destroy anything or hurt myself, seem to get on well enough with ss and 60 w and adjusting temp till it is floating ma boat. Without going in to tcr.

Hi john, tcr and temp mode are the same. The difference is that in tcr you input the tcr value for the metal your coil is made of yourself. In the other modes (ss, ni200 etc.) the mod already has the tcr values for these metals preset, so you don’t have to find out what it is and put it in manually.

The calculations are about the resistance of the coil. The tcr value is the same every time. It’s a specific value for a specific type of metal.

As above, but worded differently.

The different modes (ss, ti, ni) purely save you putting the number in yourself. Someone else typed it in for you.

You still need to have everything at 'room temp' (whatever the temp is in software, or equal if it senses it (does anything yet?)) for the mod to take it's baseline resistance reading.

From that baseline, using the TCR value (either manually input or preset with mode) the mod can work out the coil temperature based on the resistance fluctuations.

Great stuff guys.Thanks. I read a review on here today on the topside that mentioned you can squonk and draw at same time, with how the bottle and firing button are set out. wont be doing that again,squirt of juice in the facial orafice, i know not temp control but thought i would entertain you all.

Lol, squeeze the bottle a little bit softer mate [emoji16]
