Question on IPV4 temp mode

[yovengo]

I did 10 wraps of 28g ni200 around a 2.4mm screwdriver came out to .15ohms. Im using it on the hobo v3.1 on ipv4. I did "set the resistance" It fires like crap honestly like barely any vapor when firing it without the cap. So I pressed the fire button so the resistance could go higher. I repressed the "set the resistance" and its not at .18 and now with the cap off it has more vapor than the .15 also 40J. I left it on .18 Question is can I do this? Does it mess with the chip? Any bad things can happen of me doing this?

Let it cool to room temp and reset your resistance. Why 10 wraps? Cut it down to half that much and make sure none of the wraps are touching each other. I just did a 6 wrap of 28 AWG Ni200 on a 2.5 mm screwdriver and it ohmed out at .09 on a subtank mini rba deck. Have it set at 40 joules and 450 temp and its performing perfectly on my IPV4. Always set your resistance when its cold.

I did let cool down to room temp. But it didn't fire as good... & I thought the resistance in .1 and higher..

I had mine as low as .048 using 26AWG Ni200 wire and it fired just fine. I have 2 IPV4's and one of them is running .08 at 40J and 500 F. The other is running at .09 at 40J and 450 F. Make yourself a coil of 5 or 6 wraps with your 28 AWG and make sure the coil has spaces where no where its touching any part of the coil. You dont want a tight coil like you would make with Kanthal. Wick it and inspect it again to make sure nothing is touching. Juice it up and vape away.

I also redid the build it came out to .09 6 wraps on 2.4mm screwdriver. Wick it up and fired it and still fires like crap. Like you seen all those other videos where they fire it without the cap and lots of vapor comes out? Mine only a but comes and it makes a studder sound

The stuttering sound is temp control kicking in. Gently blow on it when you do that and you will get lots of clouds, or put it together and vape it.
Start it at 400 F and 20 J's. Give it a try. Move it up to 450 and then try it at 500 and see how you like it. 500 is too hot for me usually but some people love it there. When you find the temp you like play around with the J settings. Vape on each setting (temp and J)for around 5 minutes each just to get a feel for it.

You never said what kind of atty your running. I have subtanks on both of mine.

I gave up on it lol I just went back to kanthal & ill try it some other time then

If you are firing a nickel coil with the wick and juice, but no airflow, the temp control will kick in almost instantly, so none or very little vapor will form. Like @chopdoc said, blow on the coil while firing and you will notice a huge difference.

ok yovengo, the hobo is an RDA and I been using a subtank so I got out my TOBH RDA, built a dual 5 wrap coil that ohmed out to .074, wicked it and gave it a try. Tried i where I had it which was set at 420 F and 40 J's and it was ok. I turned it up to 500 and it was a lot better. Cranked it to 572 which is the max the mod will let me go for that resistance and it was a very warm vape. Cranked up the joules to 50 and it was still a good performer. Nice clouds, ok flavor. I turned it down to 500 Fand vaped it until noticable reduction of clouds and got a slight burnt taste on the exhale. Turned it down to where I had it, 420 F and burnt taste went away.
Now i am not a big dripper and I dont cloud chase. I prefer subtanks and lemo's but I dont see what the problem is with using the IPV4 in temp control for dripping. We can try to help you troubleshoot your hobo and IPV4 but what I would suggest is go to a vape shop and ask the guys who work there if they can help you.

I used to have this issue big time. It generally meant that I had a loose connection/about clipped a lead. Make sure the lead doesn't get trapped in the screw threads and is directly underneath the screw. Tighten down but don't absolutely crank or you'll have issues.

I like using 26 gauge ni200, 11 wraps around 3 mm for .1 ohm. 450/40 is where it's at for me. I don't use tempered or any of the new and improved nickel wire, just simple UD ni200. Give that a shot!

I feel your pain. I was quick to blame my ipv and wanted to throw it at the wall. Turns out it was user error and not making the right connections
