Have you tried inputting a manual TCR through Escribe and adusting the value to try to get it to work in TC and thereby figure out the grade they are selling?

You should be able to get a good idea as to their workings by checking the difference between cold ohms and live ohms when fired at the expected wattage.

I have given you 2 fine gentlemen the impression that I understand escribe, and I apologize for that... I have no clue how to manually adjust the tcr, nor do I know how to figure out the live update part of escribe.

I am just a dummy who vapes.

Here you can slide the points on the graph with your mouse to change the curve or under the "Special" tab you can enter your own value.
You can mess with it all you want without changing anything as long as you don't upload to device.

Here cold ohms and live ohms are represented by the purple lines. by knowing the percentage change between cold and live (hot) you can get a pretty good idea of it's TCR so that helps one to identify the wire type.

LOL! Your not the only one!

I was aware that you could manually enter a TCR value and was suggesting adjusting that sort of by trial & error hope to hit upon something that worked with the wire but it looks like DWcraig is the go to guy to get er done!

I'm just learning but I hang at a place that I get to look at this stuff quite a bit.

Doesn't Amazon have a page link where people can report obviously falsely advertised items like this? You would think they would.

Amazon turns a blind eye to the crap China sells there, common sense and research is your best bet. I won't consider feedback unless it goes back a year or two, many say the feedback for new items is stacked by the seller to make the products look good. On Amazon 98% of the stuff I buy is sold here in the states.

IIRC those are OEM 18650's for LED garden and landscape stake lights and are rated less than or right at 1 amp continuous discharge. High density which makes for low discharge capability.

So my black Silo blem enclosure from Mod Crate showed up today, no buttons or screws
They sent me 2 mod halfs & the 510
Sent them an email, see what they say
Really sucks! Your shipping a package all the way to Canada from Florida, you would think you would double check you got it right!
Best case scenario it takes another 10 days to get the buttons and screws

Did you kick puppies when you were a kid? How does one have such terrible luck?

Hope it all gets straightened out quickly.
