Delta 2 Nickel coil reading .7ohm in Joules mode?

[Arylcyclo]

My temp control delta 2 coil reads .3 in power mode, but will read anywhere from .5-.8 in joules mode. I am new to temp control and am running this on my ipv D2. Should I be running this in Joules or power mode? Is 480 degrees a good temperature, Im vaping at about 40 joules.

while the delta and ipv are at room temp, set the coil resistance (lock it in) by pressing up and down at the same time. once locked it'll vape as expected but show you the live resistance changes. dont worry as long as youve locked in the correct resistance at room temp. obviously, dont vape nickel in power mode.

So keep using it in joules mode? Also what is an ideal temperature to be running these .3 nickel coils at? Also does it matter how high I run my mod in joules mode? Sorry for all the questions I admit I should probably be looking for them on this forum, however I have absolutely no knowledge on temp control and do not want my mod to explode lol

only run ni coils and ti coils in joule mode. start on the lower range of 420f and move up from there. im usually around 460-480f and about 12-20joules for tanks. also, .3 nickel coil seems really high ohm. you sure you took that measurement at room temp? not sure what delta premade coils clock in at.

Delta 2 ni200 atty lock live reading will be 0.68 - 0.69 ohm.

My sweet spot on D2 is 380F 24.5J

whats the cold reading on the delta?

as you can see, tastes and temp vary greatly from user to user and atty to atty.

On mine it reads 0.29 cold.

I was happily vaping with my setting on D2 till Evic VT comes along and spoils the fun by burning my cotton....Damn you VT for 30W minimum settings in TC!

 

[jmarkus]

weird, just looked at vt specs and says 1w-60w tc mode.

 

[Akuma888]

Download the user guide, desired setting 30-60W for VT mode stated.

The delta 2 Nickel coils say .3 on them is that not normal?

 

[Arylcyclo]

They make .5 regular coils then the .3 nickel, I just can not figure why it only reads .3 in power/wattage mode and when I set the ohms unless I have not hit my ecig in a couple minutes it says .3 aswell. However when vaping in joules the ohms jumps from .5-.8 (guestimate)

A cold reading is when I set the ohms after not using the vape for a while?

Yes. It's been mentioned before, but I'll mention it again, what you see on the resistance reading of an IPV D2 is the real time resistance (when firing) or the last resistance (when idle). Remember, as a TC wire heats, resistance increases.
