Hey y'all,
So the smok mods (lets just use the alien here) have this interesting tool, in my opinion, where you can adjust the resistsnce, at least on screen, compared to the reistsnce the device initially reads when you screw the atty on.
I'm not exactly sure how this affects my corcuit electronically, or my vaping experience.
I understand that the higher the resistance, the higher the voltage needed to apply the same wattage to a coil.
So let's say I set my Alien to deliver 100w to my atty (a TFV12-t12 coil, rated at .12 ohms if that helps. Lets say for the sake of this example, the coil does indeed have a resistance of .12 ohms). Suppose initially the Alien reads the resistance at .11 ohms, but I change the resistance setting to .13 ohms. On screen, yes, the device displays a higher level of voltage appropriate for that resistance and wattage. But what is actually happening now?
I understand that the device isnt necessarily accurate in reading the atty resistance, or displaying the applied voltage in the first place. You can take that into consideration your response. Maybe talk about what theoretically would happen if at least the applied voltage to the coil is accurate vs. what is actually likely to take place in reality.
I hope I get a good response to this. This has really piqued my interest. My Alien is reading my attys at lower resistances than what I expect they should be (I know that dirt, loose screes etc. Can effect this, im just saying...) I am wondering if changing the resistance to what I think it should be is sccomplishing anything in terms of acheiving accurate wattage. And suppose dirt or whatever IS affecting resistance readings. How is that affecting applied wattage to the actual coil?
I understand that this very well could require a very deep knowledgenof the physics behind all of this, and the electronics attempting to harness the physics. Im confident I coukd follow along, even with the technical explanation, if someone knows. I am really hoping someone with the ability to answer this will do so. Please?
