Procyon personal preference question ... OLED button color ??
I'll leave the default green I guess. Wouldn't matter to me if there was no light. Stealth as it were. My cognitive senses inform me when the button is depressed. I don't often look at the light, so green it is. MAYBE just flashing red when low battery (as they say it does), to help get my attention (a buzzer would be better, like on the washer/dryer LOL), but I seem to often check the display for battery level regardless. Not even sure why I check it. I seem to charge a battery or swap a battery almost daily anyway ... even when tons of power is still available. I've read that lithium ion doesn't like to get run down in the grand scheme of things. Who knows.
What color is your button? Is there any rhyme or reason? ... anecdotes ... recommendations?
EDIT: Found how to turn button color off from the menu WOooHOoo ... nevermind LOL

I knew this but here lately in several threads I frequent, this subject has been appearing on the regular. The coil resistance changing has gone from a question to an issue that people think a firmware update will fix.

Huh? How do they think that works? (shakes head)
Dude, with the new firmware update if the resistance of the coil changes from 1.6 to 1.7 ohms, the mod doesn't (minutely) adjust the voltage to keep the output level at 9 watts, the ProVape micro hamster crawls into the atty and adjusts the coil.

The coil has "broken in" and the watts are coming down from where I started earlier today (yesterday?). Still tweekin'. Lots of options. Giving 9 a serious look. To boost or not to boost to boot. The poor micro hamster needs a cookie.
Thank God the Procyon doesn't have IQ.
I used to do 8 wraps of 30ga on the little blue screwdriver ... they always read 1.8ohms
Dropped them to 7 wraps and they now come out to 1.7ohms
I find they never fluctuate up or down from 1.7 ... however, I also dry burn and rewick after every 3ml tank (I never top up a tank).
That .1 on the ohms is noticeable for me ... however, it could be my Vape OCD that helps me notice the .1 difference.

To Both: Funny!!

Willy, on coils I build, the resistance fluctuates on virtually every one. Not a lot. Usually just .1 ohm, but fluctuate they do. And I too dry burn and change wicks often. I was told when I first started building by those who know so much more than me, that it's completely normal. Since I could never notice a difference, I just turned my OCD off for this.
I buy 1.6 and 1.8ohm Nautilus coils interchangeably and don't really notice a difference. Size by side in a controlled test I might, but not in my normal everyday reality.
1.2ohm Mini Tritons? NOT a fan at all. I have to run my Kabuki at 22W and the flavour is washed out. I am throwing them in with my Nautilus tanks I am selling and will never buy again.

Regarding the .1 ohm resistance change: With most conductive materials, resistance will change due to the heating and cooling process to a limited extent. This occurs when the material is heated and the atoms expand (move slightly farther apart), and then return to the rested state once cooled. After doing this a few times, the rested state will reflect very slight changes in the distance between atoms, which can easily account for a .1 ohm increase in resistance.
And I'm beyond perfectly FINE with that. Yes I am!
Either you are really really smart or good at using that Googler thing on the 'puter.
My vote's for Pretty Darn Smart! Yes it is!

My Google-Fu is pretty good as I'm in IT so I have to know how to find stuff on the interwebz, but that's not why I know about basic electronics theory. My brother is an electrical engineer, so we have long conversations about circuits and electronics when we talk to each other. Sometimes, some of it actually sticks in my grey matter.
Why thank you, good Sir. I guess I do have at least some smarts, because I'm a loyal Provari vaper.
Me, I just read a *lot*, well more than a lot actually - more like most of my day is spent reading. And it is amazing how much one can actually learn by reading if you let it stick.
I got my G.E.D. at age 16 (not bragging here, just a fact in my life) because I screwed up badly in High School and had no credits at the end of my second year, and I came in at the 92% percentile (forget exactly what that actually means), and do not have any official schooling after that. But because I am a strong reader, I am not as dumb as I could/should be given the level of actual schooling I have had - it really only shows in math type stuff.
But I too am smart enough to be a Provari owner As well as understand watts and volts.

Explanation for us not-so-smart people: when the metal lid of a jar is stuck, hold it under hot water. The metal will slightly expand and the jar will twist open. Do that enough times and the lid might actually become a tiny bit larger (on an atomic level), but you won't care because the jar is empty.
The glass part of the jar will expand under heat too, but metal is more pliable, since the atoms are further apart to begin with. That's why it takes more heat to melt glass than it does to melt metal. I just made that up.
