Incedentally, that's not the only time Tim Currey put on makeup:

...and this is how my throat feels after a dry hit from Rayon Wick :D

Yeah... Meatloaf was a different char, and what I was talking about is that Tim also played Satan/the Devil from the movie Legend... so I think he seems to wear make-up in a lot of movies... hmmmm

Holy s*** @ Legend reference. I forgot that movie even existed, let alone anyone who starred in it besides Cruise

BTW, Tim Curry is one bad mother

Hi guys

For those with dna 40 devices, at what temperature does your rayon start getting brown (charring)?

I always hear it was well above 400F but tonight I did some dry tests and my wick starts to char as low as 374F. Now I have no idea if there is something funky going on between C and F settings on my dna chip (I use Celsius so I did the test in Celsius mode) but it did char at under 380F.

I did some experiments tonight and the best setting for me right now is 200C (392F) but when I finish my tank, I'm pretty sure I will get a dry hit so where is the advantage using TP?

Maybe my rayon is funky but I would appreciate some feedback about what might be causing the char at such a low temperature. :)

Tony

Tony,

I don't think TP is primarily for protecting your wick although it does. When you start to run out of juice with out TP the temp of the coil can go ballistic and give you the nasty dry hit. With TP as the wick starts to dry you will notice far less vapor and depending on how dry an off taste maybe like a mile burnt paper taste if you push it far enough... anyway more than enough warning.

As I understand it the primary purpose of TP is to prevent you from heating juice to the point that it starts to breakdown or combine into harmful compounds. It is my understanding that temperatures of 500 F and over are the danger point which is probably why the DNA40 comes defaulted to 450 F. I do know that Mr. Brandon sets his TP at 400 F I guess he wants to be as safe as possible.

As far as a bone dry wick char at 400 F if the wick is the least bit damp I doubt you would see anything more than a little scorch at most.

Hey tony, are you testing with a new dry wick? If so that would be irrelevant right... Once its been wet it wont react like dry.

Not sure what you mean by charring, you mean the coil and wick in it darken... what I see as normal is that the coil and area around it darken over time at 6v as juice constantly cooks there.

Charring rayon would essentially mean you burned through some strands. Or do you mean just the darkening of the juice that your seeing on the coil.

Different juices can start to burn or darken at different temps.

I did the tests with a new dry wick... Fired at several temperatures but always got a light brown mark down to 374F.

I suppose a humid wick will never do that but I wanted to be on the safe side.

One of my biggest problems is that I tend to forget to check my juice levels by the end of the day, especially while driving in the dark and I'm so distracted that sometimes I don't notice I'm about the get a nasty dry hit... Temp control seems to be great but for me, avoiding dry hits would be the cherry on top of the cake.
