TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Stealth Vape to supply NiFe70-like wire very soon Just heard back from Rob and I can announce this. The 'EU supplier' I've been mentioning are Stealth Vape. Rob has sourced a wire very similar, but not identical to Kanthal NiFe70. When available it will have a mostly full datasheet - his... -
Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...
TC: works perfectly, I use mine exclusively for TC with Titanium and NiFe wires. It has an all-brass positive path, very low resistance, great design. Single coil: Not bad. Not as spacious as a single-coil deck of course. But better than many. The air holes are threaded, and you can use a... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Awesome work @balazsk thank you! So 410 is better, but 430 isn't bad. And we know we can get 430 right now, from Unkamen. I'm going to try and get some 430 ASAP (with the kind help of @Landman ) If we see a spool-sized (or at least, spool-priced!) supplier of 410, of course that would be... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
NiFe70 wire available now at Vape Atomizer Mesh! http://www.vape-atomizer-mesh.com/products/NiFe30-Wire-.html Wow, amazing news out of the blue - Vape Atomizer Mesh, the sister company of Crazy Wire, have today listed NiFe70/30 wire in sizes 0.3, 0.32, 0.35 and 0.40 - 28 to 26G. I hadn't seen... -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
And that adjustment is a single, one time adjustment, right? So let's say I set 50W, on first fire it might change it to 40W, and then thereafter always use 40W (at least on that battery)? It won't for example change it to 40W and then immediately or next vape go down to 35W or 30W or 10W... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
RE the TCR, the TCR used in the calcs was the one stated by Dicodes as the one they used, which an average across the vaping range. Hence grade of SS is irrelevant, as we're calculating with a specific stated TCR. Actually the mystery was solved in my next post after that one. The... -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
The Dicodes doesn't do it. It never varies the wattage from the set amount. What it does do is let you set the minimum voltage at which it will stop firing - which is the voltage after battery sag. It then also displays on screen both the at-rest voltage and the after-sag voltage from the... -
Smok XPro M80 Plus - new version, v6 firmware: temperature control testing results
Yes I am sure they will never update it again. They've moved on to new mods now, the Koopor Mini and XCube 2. And the Treebox which is basically the same as the Koopor internally I think. -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
OK perfect, thanks! That's great then. -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
Yeah I have a bunch and it was Samsung 25Rs I first saw the issue with. I only started using the VTC5s more recently - and I'm pretty sure they're genuine, the supplier is highly reputable and only got them back in stock recently, same time as the first new small batches came back on the... -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
As an example, I'm experiencing the 'feature' right now on my SXK Zero. Six week old Sony VTC5, still showing one bar of battery on the SXK but lowering wattage to as little as 1W. Take the battery out and put it in the DNA 40. It shows empty battery, and the first time I press fire it... -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
As I've said, I am currently describing the behaviour of the SXK mods I have which may or may not be the same as the Apollo and therefore may or may not be the same as you are seeing. It may not even be the same as later SXK mods. As I said earlier, this happens with one-month-old Sony VTC 5... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Oh, and since when has 29G been an 'optimal vape generating surface' Bad Dicodes, bad. Drop your overpriced wire - or at least stop promoting it disingenuously - and concentrate on your lovely mods. Then we can be friends again. -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Back to Dicodes and their Application Note, I just noticed that they do follow up the above paragraphs with this : As the Nickel wire has much higher conductivity, a usable heater winding will have between 0.1 to 0.2 Ohms, whereas a stainless steel wire should have between 1 and 2 Ohms when... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Haha OK, maybe I exaggerated a teeny tiny bit on all :) Representative samples? I've already got three SS', though have only actually vaped on one so far. I think I'll use the 304 for my next SS tests. But I can definitely justify a new SS with 50% more TCR. But now you're talking... -
New Kangxin 50W TC device - Mini VF KX-50D: single 18650; LED torch; USB charge; multiple colours
Ah good to know, thanks - I'll watch out for that. It's about time I re-seated the plate anyway. I want to check on the 510 as well, see if I can push the pin out at all. It's noticeable when screwing down an atomizer that there's little to no resistance to it, the mod's positive pin is... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
I just went back to Dicodes' Application Note For Temp Controlled Vaping, and they say this: For example stainless steel wire has a coefficient of about 10.5%/100°C .. Of course the lower temperature coefficient results in smaller absolute temperature measurement accuracy. For example, using... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Wow! 150 does sound very interesting. Not least because it could be the key to answering a question that @Mad Scientist and I talked around earlier today: When exactly does TCR matter for accurate TC on mods? We know that SS's ~ 0.001 is 'low', and Dicodes describe this as accurate to... -
New Squape Rs 1:1 clone by SXK
Regarding the B deck: when you guys use it, do you make sure that all four of the little holes in the deck are immediately blocked by wick? Or do you have the wick near, but not covering the holes? I've had the B deck in my Ivogo the past few days, with a 50/50 juice. I've repeatedly notice...
