Q: Steam Engine - # Wraps indicator bar?

[UncLeJunkLe]

So what does the # of wraps indicator bar in steam engine signify. It seems that the more wraps that are calculated, the longer the indicator becomes and will, at some point, turn from green to yellow (but I've never seen it turn red).

What is it signifying? Is it just trying to tell you, "Hey dude, that coil is way too long for any atomizer!", or is it saying something else. The site doesn't mention it.

Good eye. I've never noticed that before. I hope someone knows the answer.

Yeah, I just noticed it today for the first time. been using it for years.

i do good just to count the wraps.Maybe @TrollDragon can help?

I'm only referring to the indicator shown in the pics, nothing else.

Might it be an indicator as to the wicking potential determined by diameter to length ratio?

It's a graphic representation of the number of wraps and it has a predefined set of values.

The result code is:
<meter class="pull-right" min="0" optimum="8" low="4" high="14" max="20" value="x.xx"></meter>

The graph has a starting value of 0 and an ending value of 20. He has set the optimum value of 8 and any coils that have the number of wraps <4 or >14 will turn the graph from green to yellow. I don't think it has any significance other than a visual reference of the number of wraps.

Usually coils that are 4 wraps or less don't vape well and coils 14 wraps or more can burn out the wicking at the center of the coil.

@TrollDragon thanks.
I would have dug through the code myself, but a phone isn't suited for that, I'm afraid. Shame it's so simplistic a graph. Could have been much more useful.
