I found the preheat so the Voopoo has been working correctly playing with resistance is not necessary. I've been to their download site latest version is V1.5.1.26

I was able to get my name loaded in and put in some files that I think were updates, these messed up the Display settings so I had to get back the defaults which I was able to do. I then found that pressing the fire button caused the Timeout to appear so the unit stopped working rather stressful. I adjusted the lighting and time out that got me the 10 sec delay so the unit could work. Still a lot of those update files I haven't put in yet, is it worth it.
Great unit it has been able to survive me and what I've done with it, works great in SS temp mode and handles the different resistances well. I'm using some nothing special batteries over a year old without problems. Navigation in the device is very good

I'm curious as to where you found the preheat setting for the Drag in Temp control mode. The only thing I can see is the ability to set watts on the main screen when in TC mode by 4 clicks on the fire button. I tried using the custom curves but the wattage curves seem to have no affect when in Temp Control mode.
In manual bottom of page 4 press the fire 4 times, W blinks and you can adjust the Watts, this is when it is in SS temp mode. By custom curves I think you are talking about the M 1-5 curves, you would set changing temps along a line graph. I just noticed there is a W, the M1-5 and a WV, in WV you set the voltage. I've seen that and used it a little, maybe it's new since I downloaded the files and put some in the Voopoo. It would be much nicer if there was a description of the file instead of a series of numbers. I've used this a little yesterday and all of today its doing very well.
Rather nice that I've just found the original software that was in the Voopoo so if I mess it up it can be reset to the original.
Thanks @Carl2 for the info. From what I can see it looks like you can set the wattage in temp control mode but there is no separate setting for preheat like there is in DNA and Yihi boards. I was hoping for a separate preheat setting for larger coils just to give them a high shot of power in the first second or so. And it's also limited to 80 watts. Having said that the Drag works very well in temp control mode and I'm quite pleased with it.
Okay, I have an idea of what you'd like to do. I also have the Smok G-Priv which I compare it to, in the Smok you go into temp mode, there you have material, preheat, adj tcr, initial ohm. No curves at all. In wattage mode you have, effects, min, soft, med, hard, watage 0 to 220, must have there own curves in there. Actually the Voopoo gets up to temp pretty quickly, the Smok is noticeably slower the first vape is weaker.
I think in both units the preheat is saying that you set the max wattage available to heat to the set temp, a higher wattage would get it to the temp.
I just checked the update app and it has a tab for power lines where you can adjust the power output over time, very similar to the M1-5 temp lines sounds like it is what you are looking for. I just found a M1 for watts in mine, clicking 4 times gives me the power graph, original all set to 157 W, all changed to 35 W. Had to remove a battery and restart to get out of the graph. I'm not sure where these things are coming from, has to be the files I put in.

In the Yihi mods you can adjust both the temp and watts curves in temp control mode. So you can program a higher level of Watts for the first second or so to get your preheat. In the Drag the Watts curves have no effect in Temp control mode. I tried dialing them down to the minimum of 5 watts and in Watts mode the effect is as expected, a very weak vape. However when I switch to temp control mode only the temp curves some into play. Theres no ability to set the Wattage in temp control mode with the curves that I can see. Having said that the vape is fine with the curves I just have no idea how it determines what wattage to apply in temp control mode with the M settings. Most likely it's the predetermined one based on the Atomizer resistance. But as you said it does seem to ramp up quite quickly so it's really not an issue unless you have big coils that require a lot of preheat.
As already said I like the temp mode, I've got a power curve in my unit but doubt if I'll ever use it. I have a Pico 25 that will kick you out of temp mode into wattage if the resistance is not within limits, I can vape it using the preheat temp. So you could probably vape in wattage pretty close to a temp mode, maybe worth while if done often enough. I'm debating on what I should do about all the software I didn't put in yet.
I haven't been following this thread and this may have been corrected but the cartel hits at a max of 60w, not 160, in tc mode.
Good to know, thanks. The Voopoo only does 80W in temp mode as well. The new DNA 75C chip has added a 100W preheat in Temp mode and Wattage mode to it which is awesome for those bigger coils.
Has anyone here installed the new firmware version 1.0.0.2 in their drag? It's introduced an auto off feature. It'll probably help with some of the battery life issues however I've not found any way to adjust it or access either on the mod or in the software.
I've just read about it an another thread in the forum. Maybe they are talking about the screen turning off.
I have the black and red sticker, the colors are okay with me. I have the original Drag_V1.0.0.1.xwdf files which I just put back in so it is in the original condition that I received it in. I also have the Version:V1.5.1.26, this contains 27 USRC Files that update the unit and give it new capabilities.
It has been working very well for the past few days with a Smok BBB tank with SS coils.

Local shop just got the black resin versions in.... waiting on their monthly mailer for 25% off total purchase they sent me the last couple of months and then I may have no choice but to pick one of these up.
That sounds good, I really like it, costs about half the price of the Smok, has all the functions I need and vapes the same as the Smok. I got mine from China which cost less but a longer wait. I wish Voopoo luck and hope they put out more products.
Same price as I paid, rather funny but Voopoo sells a version with synthetic wood for $135, if you don't like the name you can change it with the app for updates.
Fasttech currently has a special on right now too.
