    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    Last time I used cotton, maybe I'll use Rayon this time (though I do have a lot more cotton available that I never use any more!) I'll start with 50/50 juice because that's a reasonable average of what people use, but yes also vary it from 30% VG up to 100% I have controlled airflow in the...

    Smok X Cube II 160watt TC Bluetooth $55.9 coupon

    Yeah. Or perhaps even better, have the upgrade tool log into the Smok account and a) let you pay for the upgrades from any PC, b) check what upgrades you already have and apply that to the FW. So there is no requirement on the app at all. As you say, it all comes down to Smok approaching this...

    Smok X Cube II 160watt TC Bluetooth $55.9 coupon

    That crossed my mind - we have access to a tool that can flash anything we like to the mod. We could reverse engineer the FW. But it'd all be in assembler and personally I'm not really sure it's worth the bother trawling through mountains of assembler to improve a basic mod :) I suppose we...

    HOTCIG DNA200?

    I suppose I can't grumble having placed the order 8 days later than that :)

    Smok X Cube II 160watt TC Bluetooth $55.9 coupon

    OK cool. Yeah, the whole app thing is a total disaster. The app itself is pretty crappy, poor quality, untested, but that shouldn't matter. It's just there, a minor bonus for anyone who wants to see their vape numbers on their phone and set the TCR with a slider instead of a mod menu (at...

    Smok X Cube II 160watt TC Bluetooth $55.9 coupon

    The Android app is working fine for me (albeit in a virtual machine on my PC, not on an actual phone or tablet as I don't have one that's compatible). But yes you have to re-apply the updates every time you upgrade FW. I assumed that was what Lord Winter was having problems doing? Maybe I...

    Smok X Cube II 160watt TC Bluetooth $55.9 coupon

    Glad it's working. But see, this is just so wrong. You say before the update you got no vapour on an SS coil even at 600°F. That's the opposite of what should happen. An SS coil vaped on an Ni200 or Titanium mode should give plenty of vapour - the problem will be it won't limit temperature...

    Smok X Cube II 160watt TC Bluetooth $55.9 coupon

    I first added Titanium on 1.07 then re-added it on 1.08 and again on 1.092 (has to be done again after every upgrade.) SS first on 1.092. No problems paying for the upgrades (no technical problem anyway :p ), nor re-applying them - at least once I was able to login to the app, which didn't...

    HOTCIG DNA200?

    I'm also not sure I want a Hot Fire charger.

    HOTCIG DNA200?

    I think they got at least some, because @dwcraig1 's was in packaging yesterday (Has it now shipped @dwcraig1 ? ) But yes it might perhaps have been a smaller batch than originally expected.

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    Yeah we've looked at this a little before. I found some tungsten wire on eBay from Canada and was at first tempted to buy it. The big problem was resistance - lower than nickel! With the TCR also a little lower than Ni200, this would make for the least accurate wire of any, and likely even...

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    That's what I thought/hoped at first, as dry coil testing is very much simpler and quicker. All my early tests were dry only. But it isn't working out like that in practice. Some mods show good accuracy in dry coil, like the DNA 40. Other mods show surprisingly inaccurate results, like the...

    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    Very nice build! In terms of resistance, the formula in general: the higher the better. That should apply in practice on most mods, though there may be some that have issues at much higher resistances, and I don't know if this applies to the SX Mini M. But if you're currently at 0.21Ω it's...

    VapeCige Vtbox200

    Mine has gone into Restocking on FT. And much worse, so did my HotCig.

    HOTCIG DNA200?

    Oh for god's sake. I must have missed the first batch

    HOTCIG DNA200?

    It does have a micro USB port which is for both charging and eScribe. Same as all DNA 200s. The swappable batteries and external charger are a bonus, not a requirement.

    He posted an update today - it is now next week: Finally the first production about to end and will ship to your region next week. Sorry for the delay.

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    Yes. Maybe if they did it a thousand times a second. In practice I strongly suspect that a perfect flat line is almost certainly impossible in most real life vapes. And it doesn't need to be flat line to be considered accurate - within 5°C is more than fine, and more than that would still...

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    And as a follow-up point on testing now vs then: part of my intention in testing and analysing this stuff is to feed back results and thoughts to manufacturers, as I have done to some extent already with SXK and Yihi. So the more I understand what is there, the more I can do that and (perhaps)...

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    I'm afraid I don't really follow. I believe the factors I described are the ones that decide whether or not a mod is accurate. I don't know to what extent the mod makers have analysed vapes, planned power algorithms etc, but I believe they certainly have to some extent. Evolv certainly have...
