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

    Hey, @TheBloke, long time since my last time here. If you remember I was the strange guy with some ideas on how to fight SR a while ago, and we kind of started dissecting the problem at that time. Then I've been side-tracked by a lot in my life and I'm only now getting back at tweaking and...

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

    Confirmed, one of the few tests I was able to perform on the zero clone was exactly that: took a base reading of about 0.12 (for an atty read as 0.16 elsewhere,), short couple of fires to get up to 0.15, unscrewed / rescrewed, answered "yes" to "new coil", the chip read it as 0.15 as it was...

    Well, I don't feel alone anymore with my zero clone then.. :?:

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

    Hi Bloke, yes I just copied it this morning to my gdrive and gave it a quick look. You did an impressive work, really! :thumb: I'm unfortunately on the move for the next few days, so I'll have to wait before being able to play with it and do some tinkering, you'll probably be on version 5 by the...

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

    Hi guys, after an afternoon of experiments and formulas, I have some good and bad news... The good first: using the calculated "corrected" TCReff with my dani, greatly improved the temperature displayed during the water test (constantly hovering around 94-96 °C) The bad now: In my first study of...

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

    Oh, you're right! I've read about stuffing strands into the threads somewhere else (maybe it was you), but forgot to try. Now that you've jogged my memory: do you put the strand vertical (i.e. parallel to how the screw will get in there) in the hole and keep it there while you force-screw the...

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

    P.S. I just wanted to add that all my measurements are done on the single K4 I own, which is an original bought on 1st day last December, but as such they must be taken with a grain of salt because of their statistical irrelevance: I might have a particularly bad one, who knows? On the things to...

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

    Are you referring to the "trick" of completely unscrewing B13? If yes I tried that in the beginning of my journey with the K4, and it kind of made things a bit better, but unfortunately I'm more of a mouth-to-lung guy and don't really like too airy draws, I think I found the best solution for...

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

    Argh! Sorry guys. It was a late-evening-after-a-long-day post and an additional zero crept in... :cry: 0.003 is actually 0.03, 0.0026 is actually 0.026 and 0.0005 (the delta with the gold spring vs the sleeve) is actually 0.005. I've edited the post, hope I fixed everything. Sorry again for the...

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

    Bloke, yes you're right they say it is best to have a spring, but what I think is that is true in the ideal world where spring loaded connectors have stiff springs that remain stiff. I might probably be biased by the poor experience I've had with several mods (one for all is the VS rdna), but in...

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

    Tomorrow is an holiday here in boot-shaped south of Europe ;-) so I hope I'll have time to perform another experiment with my "corrected" TCR. Anyway, today I took another couple of dead-short measurements of my K4 at work and I found that: 1) After cleaning the post screws (where you catch the...

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

    A bit late, but here are my impressions after a bit of vaping on the dicodes wire. It's the same coil I used for the water test i posted a couple of days ago, rewicked of course (using rayon) and still in my squape. I think I can't sense any specific wire taste, but hey, I can't with nickel...

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

    As a dani v2 owner, can I ask you one thing? As I posted a few messages back, I got the impression that the chip doesn't have on-board temperature sensor so that it assumes resistance calibration is done at 20 °C, and if that's not the case you have to compensate for the delta from 20 °C in the...

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

    Felt like doing a water test on my dani extreme v2 with the samplenof dicodes wire that they give you with the mod (TCR 320). I just threw 6 spaced wraps on ID 3mm on my squape, coming out at about 0.40, programmed the TCR, watered the wick and fired... Damn, this thingbis absolutely on the...

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

    No problem, I'm trying to learn as much as possible and I want to share what I get along the way. Looked at the post, sounds good to me. I found an Application Note for temperature-controlled vaping through the dicodes site, which is pretty basic but interesting (I think I already reported it in...

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

    You're not alone, I've a zero clone 60W with the same chipset (I assume, given the screen layout and the fact that it has the "nickel purity" functionality) which is giving me constant 0.03 ohms less than anything else. I initially though it was due to the non-spring-loaded 510 pin, which is by...

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

    Uhm... I might be wrong, but I think there's a fundamental concept that is always overlooked when speaking about the temperature coefficient, which is the fact that it describes the relative change of a certain property (in this case resistance) associated with a given change in temperature. In...

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

    @TheBloke, thanks for your feedback. The 0.05 value I used was for example, but my K4, measured with a semi-professional low-res meter I have at work, gets to a whopping 0.03 :-( You're right that a safe characterization of the atty's Kr requires a bit of care to be safe and also a great...

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

    Hey, this is a great thread, and it's exactly what I was looking for to discuss an idea spinning in my head since a couple of days. I'd really like for you to tell me what you think about it... Let's start: since when I started fiddling with TC, in November of last year with my first dna40 mod...
