Someone please tell me how to exit temp control on the dani box! I can make it do a lot of things there (I have no clue how I got there, either) and I'm not ashamed to admit I did not take my little "manual" card and follow the link to read the manual! Because it's German! I have German relatives and the husband is part German and the Germans are GREAT except when it comes to making complex things, it becomes PEDANTRY!!!! LOL I don't have five hours to read the manual, help!!!

LOL no offense to Germany, you know I loved you and I married one and I love it when HE reads German manuals but he's all trying to sell the house. Help!

Anna
then get the english version...

Yes, that’s Power Control. Some ancient TC. Can’t turn it on (or off) by accident. Not trying to be smug, just really enjoying retro vaping oldschool Dicodes lately.

DONE!!! LOL in power mode in time for dinner which is going in the microwave. LOL.

:)

Good, I was not positive that was the answer. On most devises I have had, I never needed the manual, but for this one, I have had to check it several times. I will have to remember this later, I have never used TC, and don't really want to. A simple vape for a simple guy. :)

Well muchas gracias, as German instructions translated into English are still.... German.

Yeah, they do a better job than the Chinese, but not with the actual manual. I scanned it briefly then prepared to faint. And just pressed buttons. LOL.

Ann

I see what you mean, it is not a very user friendly manual. I basically just tried to ignore every thing that had to do with TC. Then it was a bit easier to understand, that makes most of the instructions in the manual kind of meaning less to me. :|

Working with Dicodes, think of their menu system as those in single button devices, where the selection is done with the use of a timeout system.
Now, the two directional buttons get rid of timeouts, but the system, at its root, remain a single button logic. If you think of it as an evolved single button menu, it becomes much easier to learn it.
I have the English PDF on my phone, because from time to time I still need an hint.

Problem with Dicodes menu come not from it being complex, but from the fact that has a completely different structure from those used in more common devices.

Once you grasp its logic, is a dream to work with Dicodes TC. I like the heat-pump mode, works very well with overwicked RTAs.

In power mode, the only differences are the longer battery life at low power; how it keeps power-steady (to the point of grinding batteries); and the smoother vape conseguent the very high operating frequency.

The wait continues.

Keith (CDV) has an easy and short quick start guide. Could be a handy reference for some.
Thanks for this. My Mini arrived this morning, when, coincidentally, I'm feeling unwell, so I didn't have the brainpower/gumption to figure out how to use it. Now, at least, I've been able to change the wattage.

Next I have to figure out how to flip the orientation of the display. I'd like to be able to read it as I'm looking down at the mod while thumb firing.

This was the wrong day for such an exciting purchase to arrive. I am in no state to rejoice.

Yes, the quick guide is especially useful for the abbreviations. First and foremost, the letter "U" used to indicate "Voltage", of Telefunken heritage.

An added function to the newer Dicodes device has been the battery internal resistance indicator.
This new feature made me joyful, because I'm a bit fixated on measuring the battery resistance every dozen cycles.

Straightforward when in the lab, but much more clunky in the home vape cupboard, where I use some cement power resistors (3.9 and 0.39 ohm 50 W) and a 4 1/2 digit multimeter for a dirty and quick indirect measurement.

The new Dicodes Dani mini, the Dani V2 and the Dani 21700 have a menu option measuring the battery internal resistance directly in milliohm.
The displayed value includes the 6 milliohm of device internal resistance, so you need subtract 6 to the displayed number.
I have been using this new option once a day now.

The wait continues...

KD here, to the Dani "rescue"!

Firstly, I hope you feel better and more celebratory SOON, Zazie.

And when you do, just count the clicks!

Up button, 5 clicks (to Extended menu). When it lights up, click that until it gets to Mod Menu. Click that function and keep clicking til you arrive at Display Dir. When the "R" lights, click and it'll become "L".

Let it dim and you're all set!

You are my hero! I took a big risk and followed your instructions while still feeling like garbage, and, after a few failures and several trips around the block, I managed to flip the display. So much better!

Thanks so much, @Katdarling. This small victory has brightened my day.
