IPV D2 yummy vape

[dDubs]

Just got an ipv D2, Sony vtc5 inside, herakles tank with nickel coil on top, man it's good. Still kinda playing around with settings, what do I want to adjust, the joules or the temp? Like right now it's at 42j and 445°F and I'm liking it, but I seem to recall a lot of people saying that they run tc mods at lower joules. Is there a reason for that? Thanks in advance!

Joules in TC can be considered your accelerator.
Temp is your Speed limiter.
Balance is your goal.

experimentation is needed to find YOUR preference in vape.

To often people think they need more joules and keep craning it up, never raising Temp or barely upping it. Then they complain the Vape is to cool. The mod Rattlesnakes, the vape sux, etc.
All of the above can be explained by inpatients and lack of understanding.

Your numbers seem to indicate you like a good warm vape and from nearly the beginning of firing.
a little tweaking may or may not be needed. It is your preference that matters.

Mine:
Dual Coil Orchid
415F/26.5J on SXM
Standard mode curve

Single coil KS Tank
425F/27.5J on D2

Yea I do like it on the warmer side, and at lower joules it's just too cool. I don't think it's getting to the temp limit because I don't notice anything, but maybe I could lower the temp and see what happens or what's it's like when it does reach the limit. Thanks for the reply.

Does anyone use Delta 2 LVC ni200 coils, what is a good TC settings to start with?
I got burnt hits on this and my settings is rather high on joules 40J 450F, inexperience.

Well, you seem to realize you have it to high. Why not start lower and work up to what works best.

Good start - 380F/17J then ease up

Joules shouldn't matter with burnt hits. The Joules (or watts in other mods) are determined by the temperature. Your only goal is to set the Joules high enough so that you can reach the temp you have it set for. Anything over that and the mod will throttle the Joules back to keep it at the temp limit.

Example: Let's say 20 Joules will get you to 400F within 1 second. If you set your mod to 30 Joules, well that wont accomplish anything nor will it make the vape any warmer. Why? Because that's how temp control works. The mod will simply throttle the power back to keep you at the temp limit. Remember, the mod is checking the resistance of the atomizer and adjusting the Joules hundreds (if not thousands) of times per second.

Example 2: Let's say you have it set for 500F and 15J. Most likely that 15J wont get you to 500F so the vape will seem cooler than it should. (Or if it does get you there, it will take far too long). In that case, you want to raise your J setting.

So, think of the Joules setting as a baseline. You want a high enough setting to get you to the temp you have set, but no higher. However, even if you do set it higher, it wont make any difference (other than giving you the rattlesnake).

Thanks a lot @BigEgo that information helps a lot.

So if I set my temp between 400F to 500F while my joules remains at lets say 20J. There will not be any difference in my vapor production except how hot my vape going to get. Is my assumption correct?

I check the Delta Ni200 coils and recommended setting is such:

Diameter of Ni: 0.25mm
Resistance: 0.3Ω
Temperature recommended: 500-550˚F
Summit wattage: 60W

So should I start off with 550F / 17J or I just go with general guide that all coils should go work with 380F / 17J to start off ?

Looks like recommended peak settings.
Always better to start lower and break in/set the build. Things need to settle and coils build an oxide covering(protective layer)
380F may be to low, but 55F may end up to high. You just have to start smart and work upward.

The only difference is how fast either setting gets you to your required temperature. So in that sense, a higher J setting might produce more vapor for the first split second.

Ultimately, there is diminishing returns for Joules. Once you have enough to reach the temp, then anything over that is just going to give you the rattlesnake (i.e. be useless).

I have my settings at 400F / 19J locking resistance at 0.31 ohm on Delta Ni200 0.3 Ohm.

After a few pulls my ohms reads 0.64, is this normal? The vapor seems a little weak and cool flavor is faint.

If I want to set higher temp I need to start all over again like 5 clicks power, select J Mode, Select F, Set to 420, Exit On, Relock my Resistance and before that need to wait for my tank to coll to room temperature?

I cannot seems to find a way to set Temp a faster way, any one can help?

Once the temp is locked it's set - you don't have to relock it unless you swap tanks. The resistance you're seeing after locking is just what the real life resistance is as it heats up - but it's still locked at the original resistance (assuming you locked it using the two buttons). 400F is pretty low - you probably need to increase the temp as the coil breaks in.

 

[Akuma888]

So I need to start all over the 5 clicks power, J Mode, Select F, Set my desired temp and don't need to lock my resistance? There is combo pressing like lock your mode, + buttons and power to set temp?

Press both buttons to set your temp the first time you put the tank on the D2 (being sure it's at room temp). Then whenever you want to change the temp just go into the menu to do it. I change my temp a few times always when I've just built a new coil, but once the resistance is locked I don't mess with that again.

On a D2, yes this is normal. You are reading actual active resistance shift. If you let it sit for a minute the next press will be much lower as the coil has cooled.
400F may be a bit to cool. Try 415-420

No

Is there anyway to know if you actually did lock your resistance?

The is no any display symbol that indicates you lock your resistance then how would you know you actually did it correctly?

Press the up/down buttons at the same time hold them till it displays your ohm load. It will be locked for sure. You will see it vary while firing and this is normal its just showing you real time ohm load under power. But it is locked, this has been confirmed on a scope.
