    Do You Vape? Not In U.S. National Parks!

    It's pretty preposterous to ban vaping in any outdoor area. Indoors, I can get behind. Outdoors in a wilderness is pretty silly. It's just indicative of where society is at today (nanny statism).

    IPV D2 announced.

    I kind of like the real-time resistance reading because it allows me to calculate if the temperature is correct (or if the mod is using the right TCR). I do wish, however, that there was a way to check the locked resistance without having to manipulate the fire button.

    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    Good idea. I've tried to use Ti mode at max temp (600F) and it's not enough to get a glow even in a dark room. I think we need around 800F (425°C) to get a decent mild glow on Ti.

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

    Can you give us any results of the mods you've tested in regard to temperature accuracy? I am talking about past tests, not trying to rush you on your current tests. ;)

    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    What temperature are you doing the burn at?

    IPV D2 announced.

    The resistance it shows is the highest resistance the coil hit when you last fired it. Nickel wire changes resistance when heated (this is how the temperature is calculated).

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

    Bloke do you do any temperature testing of your mods with a thermocouple? If so, I would be interested in seeing your numbers.

    Are those nickel coils? If so, be sure the temp setting is set to nickel. If using Ti coils, be sure it's set to Ti mode. I need to be around 450 to get a decent vape as well. I doubt 350 is accurate. It would be impossible to get much vapor (especially with a high VG juice) at 350°F. I...

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

    As long as the coiling material is Ti, then it doesn't matter what kind of coil you use. It can be a quad double dragon fused clapton for all TC cares. All the mod needs to know is 1) that it's Ti and 2) what the base resistance of coil is at room temperature. As for spaced coils, this goes...

    Looking for an upgrade - new mod

    Single 18650 devices in order from best to worst: 1) DNA-40's (Vaporshark, Hana, etc. Downside is it's only 40 watts.) 2) Koopor Mini (awesome little device for $35. Does Ni and Ti as well as 60 watts in power mode.) 3) IPV D2 (authentic Yihi chip. Does Ni and Ti, 75 watts in power mode) 4)...

    anything smaller?

    IPV D2. Does 75w in wattage mode, has TC (50J), and is as small as the istick 40 (slightly smaller even than the VS DNA-40).

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

    I've been dry burning my Ti before wicking it. Based on the resistance change on my IPV D2, I estimate the temperature to be around 800°F. Coil turns blue/purple with no visible white oxide layer. Am I gonna die?

    eVic-VT mini?

    Yeah but they are kinda sold-out and probably will continue to be as long as that price lasts. :(

    Smok Koopor Mini 60w

    Bloke, perhaps some day you will be able to enjoy the Koopor with the rest of us. Also, I have a general question about TC that I am sure someone should be able to answer. When the DNA-40 came out, it was my understanding that Evolv was using a temperature sensor on the board in order to...

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

    It is a titanium, nickel, iron alloy.

    I'm 28 and have Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

    OP, do you mind telling us what your setup is (sorry if you already posted that info). I ask because there is some indication that metal dust is one of the biggest risk factors for PF -- with nickel specifically mentioned in the literature. This study mentions metal dust as being a...

    Smok Koopor Mini 60w

    Just finished my 2nd full battery on the Koopor. Got 520 puffs and 1,600 seconds @ 450F on a 0.3Ω Ti coil. That's on a Samsung 30Q 3000mAh battery. This is 53% longer than what I got yesterday on my 25R (1,039 seconds on a similar Ti coil). So, any rumor you hear about "bad battery life" does...

    IPV D2 announced.

    No. If the device allows you to set a custom TCR, then you can certainly use them for temp control. I saw a video the other day where Phil Busardo was vaping SS in TC mode with the Pipeline mod.

    Smok Koopor Mini 60w

    Just got finished with my first full battery on the Koopor. According to the puff counter, I used the mod for 1,039 seconds, which came out to 384 puffs. This is on a Samsung 25R.

    Ipv d2 nickel coil help

    Who knows. Do you have any more of those coils to try? If so, compare the resistance between them.
