Thinking maybe I wish I still had mine.

Typo Bill? If the tcr is set too low then the tfr values will be too low as well. That will cause the coil temp to be cooler than set temp, unless I'm having one of my lisdexic fits.
I think I am totally confused now and it's late. And I got something like the stomach flu the last time I had a beer and I have been too afraid to touch alcohol ever since (still have 12 bottles in the frig). So I can't blame it on alcohol. :lol: We could do it this way instead. If it works the opposite of what I said, just do the opposite of what I said. :)

Yeah that is a problem. I cheat and use a non-dna mod that you can easily adjust the TCR with so I can discover what the TCR value is. Got one of those?
You need to try an iJoy Captain PD270 (Total PoS for TC) I don't even think iJoy knows what TC is or how it's supposed to work...

If your TC is not setup correctly, most mods will either give a TCR error or drop out to power mode. The brilliant engineering minds at iJoy decided if the TCR is not correct, the mod will fire at FULL power instead, and it doesn't matter if you have it set to 5W/300F or are even using TC wire.

Quite nasty if your build is in the 0.17Ω range as the Captain will put the full 234W to the coil.
As an added bonus, the user defined TCR values on the mod only go as high as 0.00200. :facepalm:

I use a WeeLeaf Pico with Arctic Fox firmware for playing with TCR values. Amazing firmware for any mod from the Holy Chinese Trinity of eLeaf/Wismec/Joyetech, it gives you all the features of DNA mods including monitoring.

But don't get your hopes up; he's no longer making them.

Why? Did demand fizzle out? I thought He'ed be making those till the cows came home.
There used to be a 2 year waiting list :(
They are stunning works of art! Hats off to a Master Craftsman :)

Yeah, it seems that after almost four years and two generations of mods, the demand for them had been fulfilled. Also, there was never really a two year wait; that was hypothetical if nobody dropped out when their turn came up.

So no one really waited 2 years? I had bought a fancy piece of wood, had it sent to Him & then I was told I could have to wait 2 years! I'm not that patient :( So I gifted him the Wood & decided it was to long of a wait.
He was nice enough to send me a Pic of the mod he eventually made for some one else, out of my Wood :)

Right, "could" have to wait two years was a worst-case estimate based on the number of people who had signed up, and his capacity to produce them. Out of fairness to others, I never signed up for more than one slot at a time, and I think the longest I actually had to wait between mods was a bit over one year.

I am calling "911", my heart has given up the ghost. Rossum with a regulated squonker. Take me now, Lord, I've seen it all.

I'll bet he's just tricking us.

I agree. I really love my mods' DNA.

Maple DNA, Koa DNA, Rosewood DNA, Walnut DNA, Ironwood DNA, Box Edler DNA, Apricot DNA, etc...

Indeed; it was a play on words. A tree has DNA, right? :D

However, in 2014 I did build some regulated squonkers; I'm sure I've posted pictures of them here...

That was my go-to device for about a year, first as a DNA 30, then as a 40, and people thought I was nuts running titanium wire instead of nickel. :sneaky:

Then the DNA 40 in it failed. I had plenty of spares (still do thanks to Mike's CoOps!), but I was too busy to replace it, so started using my mechs full time. Eventually, I decided that for me, mechs were more than adequate, and in fact, have some compelling advantages:
  • They don't fail in mysterious ways, such as thinking the UP button is always pressed, even when the wiring to the button is removed.
  • If/when they do fail, they're generally quick and easy to fix.
  • They remove the temptation keep cranking up the power to compensate for a build that's gotten dirty or just wasn't quite right to begin with.
  • They don't kill batteries when I leave one unattended for a lengthy period of time. My last working GDNA has done that for the last year or so; leave a cell in it for more than a couple of weeks and it's at 0V.

Simple. Simple is good. :vapor:

Not just a mod, but an atty too!

Yet there are people in goobermint who still believe they can somehow put the genie back in the bottle. :facepalm:

Yup, I can go to the hardware store and get two pieces of black pipe, an end cap, a nail and make a 12ga shotgun in less time then it took to make the mod but the government thinks they can regulate firearms by passing more laws. Look up pipe shotgun on youtube, lots of DIY video's. Can also make a .22 zip gun from brake tubing. Blow up stumps with fertilizer and diesel fuel. If someone is determined to do something NO law can or will stop them.

That is a nice looking piece of work.

I was too dense to pick up on the DNA in trees without help.
