how long do you have to leave it idle for it to go to sleep?
Sorry to hear that! Have you tried unscrewing and rescrewing the atty, rather than pulling the battery? Or is the mod basically unusable for TC following a sleep, until it's had a cold reboot (battery pull)?

you guys see the asmodus edition snowwolf?

I haven't quite nailed it down. I have certainly unscrewed the atty, and it hasn't worked, but that may be because the mod knows it is the same one and doesn't ask. I *think* telling it " new atomizer" clears it up until the next sleep. The battery pull was just a guaranteed fix. I will report back when I have a few more data points.
More than fifteen minutes I believe, but I haven't nailed it down yet
After having it for a day now, the battery life is great. I put a brand new set of Samsung 25R's in it yesterday at 12:00pm. They were half way charged (like all new batteries lol) and they just ran out about an hour ago. So, half charged batteries lasted me about 33 hours. This was switching between a 0.15 nickel build at 50W and 420F, and a 0.2 22g kanthal build at 60W. I am not a chain caper by any means but certainly Vape quite a bit.
I will actually be making a video tonight demonstrating the temp control and a few other aspects people seem to be curious about. I will post it to the review thread I made for this mod.
I seriously love it. I've had no trouble with the temp control at all. It works flawlessly. It's so strange to get used to though because you don't realize how hot your Vape was before using TC! The fingerprints are insane though lol. I'm probably going to order a skin from Vape Skinz.
I believe it's 30 minutes. At least that's how long it seems to take. Once it goes to sleep, if you hit the fire button the screen reads 'Laisimo' then 'Snow Wolf,' then you have to click the fire button 5 times to unlock it. It's kind of annoying, but you get used to it very quickly.
30 seconds of idle and it goes into Stand By. In Stand By mode pressing the fire button fires the mod.
30 minutes of idle puts it in Sleep mode. To wake it up from Sleep mode press any button once to wake it up and then press the fire button 5 times within 3 seconds to unlock it.
That's good to hear. I'll probably go through a set of fully charged batteries in a day, but at least it will last a full day and I won't have to carry spares around with me. One question though, why only 420F? Seems to me 475-525F would be a better operating temperature.
I should be ordering mine Tuesday or Wednesday. If possible I hope to have it by next weekend. Also seriously considering picking up 4 new Sony VTC5s from Orbtronic to go with it. I know Orbtronic well and they do not deal with 3rd party vendors, they only buy batteries straight from the manufacturer, so if they say they have VTC5s then they are real VTC5s straight from Sony.
Then comes the hard part... Waiting for the new temperature control coils from Freemax. I'm seriously hoping they start hitting stores next week. I'm going out of town the following week and hope to have temp control coils for the Starre before I leave. Can't wait to see how parallel dual coil, vertical, temp control coils work.
ah not as bad as id thought it would be. the way people were complaining about sleep mode I was expecting it to just shutoff after like 5 minutes. When I vape I chainvape and never really leave 5 minutes between vapes. Sleep mode after 30 minutes is nothing really to me, mostly just a safeguard if I forget to lock it after a break.
Tempering is a way of heat-treating the wire. It makes it stronger and easier to work with apparently. I was just reading about this on Thursday lol. Theres anodized and tempered nickel available on Lightning Vapes (thats what got me wondering in the first place) and the reviews claim that tempered nickel wire is much easier to use. Google tempering vs anodizing and you should get a brief synopsis.
Its not just claims, its a night and day difference 
, with tempered i can actually pull out the cotton and rewick as i do with kanthal. NO dry burning though, just brush of the nickel a bit and your ready to rewick.. Dry burning ruins the temper and makes it annealed, soft again. And produces unhealthy nickel oxides.

Might be out of topic but I read somewhere that nickel wire should avoid dry burning like we do on kanthal as it might emit some harmful vapor. Seems like this tempered is different.

Its not, read above.
Tempering is done with "low" temps for a period of time (hours), when dry fireing it goes well beoynd the temper temprature and thats when the nickel goes back, just like forging. You could temper your nickel in an regular oven i suppose dont know exactly at what temp though.

I found that my IPV4 actually likes to be that low. Right now I'm at .05, two months ago I'd have NEVER imagined that I'd vape that low. But when I built it that low, on accident to be honest, I found that the temp control worked alot better for me, and I don't have to push the wattage as high, or temp either. So 35 joules (watts), °375 degrees and it's wonderful. I read that cotton burns at °410, so setting the temp higher than that would mean that the temp control wouldn't stop dry hits. At °375-400, I've NEVER had a dry hit, in the month or so I've had temp control.
So maybe, if you know safety and have the experience, building a .05-.10 ohm build may just suit you. With the regulated devices, of course. If I were to buy a mod today, it'd be this Snowwolf. Still may get one, just waiting to see how they do, and wait till the v2 and revisions come, as I still have a mirror finish on my IPV and learned I should've waited for the black screen lol.
LOL, $50 more for an asmodus logo! Unreal. Elementvape.com has em for about a $100.
-I am thinking that 200W power here could be used for lightning fast ramp up to your desired temperature threshold. I suppose you could also blow ridiculous clouds, if desired.
The snowwolf only goes to 70 watts in temp mode. 200 in kanthal mode-I am thinking that 200W power here could be used for lightning fast ramp up to your desired temperature threshold. I suppose you could also blow ridiculous clouds, if desired.

Yeah... I just Don't know.
So what kind of Build would someone use when their Mod is set to 200 Watts?
.08ohm kanthal would push it into the 200W range pretty easily.
But it pulses at anything over 150W to protect the batteries, so really I would only consider it a 150W mod unless you're wanting a pulse-fire. Of course I'm buying it for the temperature control, not the high wattage. Doubt I'll be using kanthal very often once I get it.
