Heat Control Technology in Box Mods

[Govols]

Can someone please explain what is meant by "Heat Control Technology" on some of these Box mods? Also, does the sigelei 150w or the ipv 150w contain this technology? Thanks in advance.

Evolv's temperature control protection board is not in the Sigelei or IPV mods. Here's PBusardo taking with Brandon from Elvov.

Simply put, Evolv's temperature-limiting chip makes sure that the average temperature of the coil doesn't exceed the user's setting. This requires nickel wire for the coil(s), although I hear titanium is a good alternative (though I'm not sure how accurate the temp estimations are with titanium, the chip was designed for nickel).

As far as I know, unless the description says it contains a DNA-40 chip, the device is not temperature limiting.

THANKS! I haven't had a chance to view thus video yet but will do so today. Since i'm new to RTA's......is there anything wrong with using Nickel or Titanium?

YiHi are bringing out a temperature controlled board, but info on it is a bit thin on the ground at the moment. To be released in March I believe.

Well that's cool....What about Hanna? Anyone know if they might be considering a 100 or even a 150?

Hana only use the Evolv chips so until they release something more powerful than 40W.....

Hana uses the Evolv chip...so if Evolv builds a DNA 150, then I'm sure hana mods will consider using it. But, 150w kinda defeats the purpose.

Asbestos-You bet it does! I just watched the video. Wow! Does anybody have one and if so, how do you like it with an rta at say 30-35 watts from a flavor and vapor production point of view? Has anyone vaped a Lemo on this thing?

I think the goal of heat control going forward is likely going to be max watts till temp reached than edge back so you get near instant vape with no coil warmup time and then optimal temperature, evaporation cools things down so I would guess the end result is: increased wattage based on wicking efficiency. It would make wick design and material the most important aspect of vaping... the better your wick the higher the wattage could be without overheating the coil. It will be interesting when a high powered device combined with temp control exists.

Watt settings are almost completely irrelavent with nickle wire. The n200 "non-resistance" wire that is required for the DNA40 temperature control heats up so unbelievably fast due to its extremely minimal resistance that the coil will start producing vapor almost the instant current is supplied.

Flavor is absolutely out of this world. ...And clouds.... all you need is airflow....lots-o-airflow. The more moving air you can surround the coil with, the more fog it will produce because it can use more electricity to heat the coil even more because its getting cooled by moving air so it can produce more vapor.......Kinda seewhat I'm getting at lol If you've got a huge coil with huge airflow you can blow huge clouds... as long as your wicking can keep up.

Most people WAY overwick their coils. A minimal ammount of resistance when gently pulling whispy cloud like cotton through the coils assures complete contact inside the coil, eliminating hot-spost, while leaving enough void inside the cotton fibers to allow sufficient space for the juice to travel. Also, not pinching or kinking your cotton anywhere will help with the flow-rate. If you wrap and mount the coils so the outside leg is at the top of the coil, the wick wont pinch there and juice will flow better aaand your wick wont burn there as fast.

Just called one of the local vape shops about the Hana...no longer selling them. What do you guys think of the vapor shark DNA 40 and The Vapor Flask DNA 40?

 

[Govols]

How hard is it to work with nickle? I've never built a coil in my life. I would likely be using a Lemo but will need to have someone teach me how to build coils no matter what i get. Is it as easy as kanthal...harder?

 

[BluzKing]

I have a VS rDNA 40, and no problems with mine, I love it. There were board issues with the early releases, but I think all is well now. Building with nickel is considered to be a bit of a pain, since the wire is so soft and bends easily. I've got Ni200 28g on order and I'm gonna give it a shot on a couple of my RDAs, but since I'm new to building anyway, I'm not gonna have to break a lot of established habits!

More importantly....how bout them Vols? Go Big Orange!

 

[Govols]

BluzKing -Butch is reeling in top level talent the way most guys just reel in the years! Doesn't it just feel great to be able to get excited about football time in Tennessee again! GBO! Now, bout the vapor shark...do you have access to the batteries or do you charge it with a cable? If a cable is needed, how long does it take to charge a fully drained battery?
