TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

[TheotherSteveS]

Come to think of it when I placed my order Paypals website was having trouble and I got an email after a couple of hours asking if I wanted to send somebody the money. They used the name Thomas Schmoll

Thomas is the owner of Zivipf!

Here's kind of what I'm talking about. I'm pretty much vaping watts with over temp protection. The first drag would have been about the same temp on or off and the second one not much different either. I'm not suggesting that you leave temp mode off, just off long enough to see what the difference might be. Here's my live view:

I'm getting a stellar vape with this.

But with this one the vape is quite poor, all things are the same except the TCR curve.

All that changed was the tcr curve? Do you mean tcr curve or tcr value?

Curve but amounts to about the same, this one is Ti

The Apollo Reliant uses a custom SXK chipset. The TCR that it uses is going to be MUCH different than what a YiHi 350J or DNA200 should use.

While published numbers are great starting points, I would not of known what TCR the Reliant actually needed without testing it myself.

TheBloke cracked "the code" for the Reliant and TCR. Check it here: Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support

As a Reliant owner I've seen that.

While many of them are "unverified" TheBloke created an interesting theory and numbers for the Reliant. The wire(s) I have may be slightly different (or the SXK chip itself is a bit unpredictable) however the numbers he calculated are at least in the "ball park" and offer a good starting point for Reliant users.

I've only checked SS430 on the 350J as the Ti and Ni modes seemed 'good enough' when I tried them (plus I have other mods for those wire types).

Well I can't stand it I found a place that has the Reauleux in Stock and I think I'm going to order one. 3 3000mah batteries should be good for vaping for a couple of days then I can make some of those cool graphs also. Might have to sell 1 or 2 SXM's I just happen to have 2 brand new ones never used. When they become extinct they will probably still be worth what I paid. They are the LE's too.

You SHOULDN'TA oughtn'ta said that. [emoji41]

Just ordered a Reuleaux!

Think I will luv it...

 

[2legsshrt]

@jazzvaper I did just like you said wrapped a 6 wrap 2.5mm spaced dry burned it and compressed it glowing from inside out. Starting it out low 375F 14J till it breaks in a little. It's vaping great but so did the last one set for TCR405

I am sure you guys will love it[emoji2]
The 3xHG2 will give you at least 28+ actual Wh even when you play ir safely.
And it is plenty.
At first it was strange that I didn't have to keep an eye on the batt gauge but you can get use to it[emoji23]

Btw batts: If you can, buy a pack of 4 instead of 3x1 or a couple+1 or 2x2.
I have bought 2+1 and the +1 is either simply a different batch or different and older batch for it has a bigger viltage drop.
No big deal but not optimal either

I had already bought 3 X 2, thinking I "might" be interested in getting one. Or, worst case, I have back ups for my nearly 9-month old VTC 5's, 2600 mah.

It so happens that I also have a new, unopened 4-bay charger. What is the longevity you are getting, at what temp/wattage @vapealone?

Now for the bad news, both my VS & Lavabox had to go in for spa treatment--VS returned, still waiting on the Lava to come home. The FT went back for a forced retirement...or sanctioned hit. [emoji19]

Sorry for your loss[emoji25]
If it helps, apart from a broken screen both of my 200ers are up and running giving me some 45 Wh total so I can do a few puffs for you too[emoji23] [emoji23]

Bit more seriously:
I do 20-30 W depending on the atty/build, prehet 50, 4s puffs and I dont know how many puffs a day but enough liquid wise 10-15(20) ml/day
3xHG2 lasts me almost two days. Takes me home from work on the second day but sits out the evening.
It seems that each of my sessions( pre work, work, after work) is around 20% of my battery life.
On the first day I get home on 60% charge left in the tank

 

[WharfRat1976]

Hmm mine went right through. Now you don't know whether they got it or not.

Tom sent me a PP request after seeing my order. So I'm all paid.

With Nife 48 what setting should I use on my ipv4s....Ti or Ni mode?

I really need to pull the trigger on a new Evolv chip I guess.

 

[WharfRat1976]

I'm always trying to find a new tank I like more. They all seem to have some flaw that annoyed me so I stopped using them. I'm giving the rage tank a try and so far I'm not too impressed it seems to mute the flavor.

which mod?? I use it in Ti mode and set the temp higher by 20-30F but it really depends on how good a Ti calibration the mod has (most are not that great...). Try Ti and NI and see what works best!

Also Wire Wizard on Steam Engine will give you equivalents on different wires and using them on other modes.

It sure seems like a lot of people are having problems with the DNA200. I don't know if I want to get one or not. I looked at graphs and the only place that they are more accurate then the 350J is above about 450F. I might wait until things get worked out

 

[jackmormon]

legs, With your purchasing habits I would strongly suggest avoiding any DNA200 devices. If you don't resist, you will end up with 15 or 20 of them

(Said in jest....I love my one single SX Mini and I also love my 2 DNA200 devices, and have a third on the way.)

 

[xpen]

Hey, been a bit out of the loop.. while I try and catch up, any news from the bloke?

 

[2legsshrt]

I think a lot of the people that are having problems with the DNA are trying to push it to the limit and they find it. I mean one guy has gone through 4 boards. I really think it is more trying to build something that is just too much even for that.

 

[2legsshrt]

Hey my NiFe48 coil is still working great and taste is still good. Not sure if I like the taste better then Ti but it tastes good. And I'm only up to 400F.
