setting resistance

[Stinkytofus]

a. you set it once in the morning and forget about it?
b. you put down your mod... half hour later you wana vape again, you set it?
c. you set it whenever the tank is at the coolest stage?

which mod are using? kind of coil kanthal ni200 or Ti

Depends on the mod. My Snow Wolf auto-detects Ni coils-- don't ask me how-- and knows if you change it. It asks if you have a new atomizer when you replace it after filling, for example. My SX Mini S, you set the coil resistance to the machine when you put the coil on it, and don't mess with it again until you change attys. And yes, the mod and the atty both need to be at room temp for that all to work. TC machines use coil resistance to gauge temperature. The reason Ni or Ti wires are specified for TC is they are "high delta." All metals change electrical resistance with temperature, but some metals do so more than others. Ni and Ti do it a lot and, probably as important, have a flat response curve, meaning the change in resistance is closely proportional to the temp. Thus, to set the resistance in the beginning, the mod and the atty both have to be cool. If you put the atty on when it is hot, and try to set it, the machine will assume the hot resistance is the same temp the mod is, and mess up your TC; your vape will be hotter than you have set. When they both cool down, my SW will notice and ask if it has a new atty. My SX will not.

I never set it. It figures it out just fine.

If you are talking Temp control and using NI or TI coil then yes usually you lock in the resistance after putting the room temp atty on the mod. Some mods do not require this but if yours has the lock feature it is a good idea to use it.
You will need to reset or re-lock your resistance if you change attys.

If you're using a Yihi-chip based mod like the SX Mini, IPV4 or IPV3Li, or the Sigelei 75, you HAVE to manually set the resistance. They do not auto detect the resistance.

No magic on the Snow wolf.
It simply reads resistance on initial contact of the atomizer.
Even the eVic did this.
It ask again after filling if the last know resistance has changed slightly.

Locking in a setting is actually a little better as the mod and you are always on the same page.

Colder/warmer later does not matter - Heat point does.
Your high point does not change even if the low temp point does.
Heat rate is determined by Joules setting not air temp.

Thanks. I agree locking it in is a better deal. But the instructions do say both the mod and the atty have to be the same temp to do so (on the SX.)

Sorry....I did not know you were referring to the Yihi. I use the DNA200 just about exclusively now.
