o.k. I only get 4 digits for the settings, so I'm guessing I truncate the first two zeroes?

Nope, you'd use the number right above that one.
So, 112x10-6 would be 0.000112
That's what you'd enter into the M1/2/3 value setting. Round up as necessary according to how many decimal places you can enter.
If you notice, when you change coil diameter, number of wraps, etc. then the "TC Precision" value will change...
Darn, now Kaz beat me to it...
Wanna just call it a truce and say that we're just helpin' each other help Dinger?
Ok, it's my turn to ask a question...what is TCR and what does it do? Why would I need it?
Sorry folks! I've just never understood the whole TCR thing.

TCR is the Temperature Coefficient of Resistance.
Basically, it is a number to signify the change in resistance due to applied temperature. By knowing this number, the chipset can gauge the current temperature by measuring the resistance of the coil.

Thanks! I guess I need to read more. Why would I need to know this? Why would I need to do this?
Only if you wanted to use Temperature Control using a wire type that wasn't built into the device, and then only if the device allows setting your own TCR value.
I'm not sure how much I'm going to dabble in this, but this is "manually" doing what the Escribe stuff will do for your DNA mods. Some mods only have built-in support for Ni or Ti wire. If they have a TCR function, you "could" add them via the programmable settings. I'm getting into NiCr wire, and it might be "fun" to try it in TC mode - most of my mods don't have an NiCr setting, so I am guessing this is how I can make it work.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Dawn breaks over Marblehead!
I guess it depends on the device. For JOYETECH devices (Evic VTC, Cuboid, VTwo, etc) it only truncates the FIRST zero and then you round the 6th digit....
Mommee gits it nao
Hahahaha! Yeah, it kinda depends on the device as to how you have to apply it.
Well, you only really need to know/do this if you're trying to fine tune your temp control, or if you're using a wire type that doesn't have a pre-set option for that specific wire type. I've never really messed with the TCR stuff for my mods, but I do use it for various thermocouple set ups at work for measuring temperature in my pressure vessels.
That's a good thought. I love NiChrome 80, but I've only used it in power mode... I used Ti for a while, but now I strictly use SS316L for my TC setups. Now you've got me curious to see how NiCr will work...
Hi everyone. Been awhile since I checked in. Still smoke free, almost 6 months!! Super excited about that! Just got some vapemail today, got some On Cloud Custard by VapeWild, completely addicted to it lol. Hope you are all doing great!
Hi kcdew!
I think I've tried TC mode maybe a total of twice, it didn't do anything worthwhile for me with those particular devices. Since I'm sitting on 30m of txp (twisted pair) 26 kanthal I'm pretty well set for power mode
Then again, since my regular devices are DNAs, mebbe I should break out some of that SS316L in my goodies box, for giggles... (No way do I feel like mucking about with nickel or titanium, that's too much like work)

CHICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hai you!!!! Congrats on the 6 months
WELL DONE!!!!!!!Don't be such a stranger, 'k?
