Oh damn, Busardo finally reviewed these? Gotta check that out

Havent watched it yet but as I sadi, he apparently concludes that Dicodes have the best available implementation of TC or something along thos lines! I knew there was a reason I paid £200 for the 2380!

ps. The Busardo review of these things is up on youtube/taset-your-juice! Apparently he likes them...a lot!!!
Thank you for the info, yeah i watched it last night and impressed that he says that the device is the best,smoothest tc device he has ever used :)

I've only ever used a Dicodes for TC. Just got a DNA200 that I'm gonna build myself. But I found the Pbusardo review very interesting, particularly the part about the vape quality being very smooth; something that is backed up by his examination of the signal.
I wish Dicodes would release a standalone chip, with a big higher power output (maybe 100W?), so that we could put it into our own mod with a LiPo.

Hello from Greece and sorry for my Bad English :)
I am a owner of Pipeline Pro (1) and now i just order the Pipeline Pro 2. I look forward to receiving. I saw all the reviews from every country :)
I know exactly what the mod can or cannot do.
My questions is about Stainless Steel and Titanium Coils...
I search with no luck, to found and order theses coils, because nobody says about coefficient. You know that there is a lot of types SS or Titanium out there and the coefficient is different
Have you found a place selling SS or Titanium coil with indicating the temperature coefficient ???

It's still pretty difficult to find pre-made coils of SS and/or Titanium. I know that you can buy Ti coils for the Delta II and Aspire has SS coils for the Triton but I've not seen any mention of the temp coefficient for them.

According to the info in the Dicodes 2380 manual, the temp. coefficient of SS is about 105 and Titanium is about 350. At least it provides a good starting point when using these metals in coils.

There's a very good thread running on this subject that may have more information:

I have really enjoyed my tube mods before i started to use box mods because of temp control devices. Now dicodes made one to be used in temp control mode and there is a point that i wonder before i purchase a dani extreme v2. On the manual it says that the dicodes electronic is able to deliver 15 Amps output. So i build my nickel coils about 0.09-0.10 ohms. With that resistence the power delivered in watts can be maximum of about 20 watts to the coil because of the 15 Amp limit. At what resistance ranges you use dicodes? And would 20 watts be enough for a 0.09 ohm nickel build? I have been using SX Mini for a while and do not know about the watt numbers because SXM shows the joules only in temp mode.
You can't use regular ohms law calculations for the amp draw of regulated devices. Watts and battery charge level (lower charge = higher amp draw) is what you need to look at. Resistance doesn't factor in. At a specific Watt setting; lower resistance needs less voltage so the amp draw is less than you'd expect from a mech, higher resistance requires more voltage so you're exchanging amps for more volts, as the battery drains it needs to work harder to provide the requested volts.

Check steam-engine.org for calculations.

More than you ever wanted to know about TCR here: TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

In short: Titanium is almost always 0.0035 (350 on Dicodes). Stainless Steel varies according to grade. If you know you have SS304, then 0.00105 (105) is OK. If it might be 316 or 317, then use 0.001 (100) - the TCR is actually a bit lower than that, so temperature offsets may be needed (setting the mod a little lower than you want, eg 210°C instead of 220°C)

If you can get SS 410 or 430, the TCR is quite a bit higher - up to 0.00150 for 410, 0.0013 or so for 430. But these are harder to find. Unkamen in the US has some 430 in stock now.

What is the source for this? I see other sources claiming .0038 and .0039 for pure Ti.

My own temperature testing has validated the Titanium wires I use as 0.0035 at vaping temperatures.

Also, beware of single-figure TCRs: they are usually across a much wider temperature range than our vaping range.

Check out vapealone's spreadsheet in my TC Beyond Ni200 thread, his source's single figure (which is for Titanium #2a) does show a higher figure, 0.0039 I think, but for 0-300°C it's very linear around 0.0035.

I am now very wary of any single TCR figures - what we really need are per-temperature figures, like when a datasheet shows resistance figures for 20°C, 100°C, 200°C, 300°C.
