    TCR may be linear or it may be a curve. It is not going to vary randomly from point to point on the temp spectrum. The change is always going to be in the same direction, whether constant or accelerating or decelerating.

    BigEgo said, "Based on their tables, I ran the numbers and got the following for 'specimen 1'." Most likely an error while 'running numbers', or typing them in after they ran away. Or Ames made an error in their report for the AEC. Scary.

    Anywho, it was a nice exercise. And useful thought.

    TCR will generally increase, but a decrease at some spots on the curve is not impossible.

    The resistance coefficient of temperature is related to the size coefficient of temperature.

    As things heat up, they expand, and as they cool, they contract... except for water which stops contracting and starts expanding as it cools below 4°C and other materials that can crystallize.

    Like water's reaction as it cools, different materials can have different reactions at different temperatures. This is especially true of mixed materials, which can have different inter-material reactions at different temperatures.

    In the paper, they explain some of the discontinuities of the curve (starting on page 65 of the report).

    the actual value of the tcr depends on whether you are using farenheit or celcius

    The standard tcr is in kelvin.
    that boils down to be celcius degrees.

    So far I havent seen any examples that use farenheit.

    resistivity is measured in : ohm meter
    and the value does not depend on whether you measure in celcius or farenhiet; perhaps that is what you were thinking of.


    temperature coeficient of resistivity is measured in: per degree;
    ie: 1/kelvin
    it can also be specified in : per degree celcius, or per degree farenheit.

    Lawdy my Brother,,, your memory worse than that of my poor ol' Battle-battered head?
    A Reference to a Series of Posts long long ago (somewhere around the 100 page mark me thinks?) in the Ti Wire Vaping & Safety Thread during one of our many light-hearted and whimsical asides. During a discussion on something about which was the most accurate Method to measure Temp in TC Algorithms. We got off onto Kelvin and some other more recent/obscure Scale and then someone (maybe Tony or Scotty) coined "Holmans" in your Honor. I know you were there and contributing. At least I'm relatively sure ;)

    It is called the Holman scale if my memory serves me. It measures vaping sensation and has positive and negative points on the scale. Your results are best when tested at room temperature.

    Hitcat,
    No battle fatigue here I was an Airdale Sailor, what would we know about "Battles". ;)

    Hitcat & Jim,

    I vaguely remember that episode but my "poor and just old head" can hardly remember 10 post back much less a 100 pages. :p

    Actually I was hoping some one would just tell me what it was about and not bring up the subject of modest term memory failure. :-x

    Thanks guys I think I am going to go to bed early and sob in my pillow and think about the good Ol' days when EVERYTHING functioned as it was designed to. :cry:

    It's All Good my Friends. Hell, I knew there was a "Story" but couldn't remember the Details. No reason to mourn anything lost.... I tell myself I still remember quite nicely. I just wisely & purposefully have chosen to not care anymore :D. Better things to devote my Intellect and energies to than the trivial and otherwise meaningless Details :thumb:

    Complicated stuff. I've tried 0092 on rx 200 with 316L wire and hits temp protection instantly? It works great on standard ss mode though. The tcr on 316 and 316L seems to have virtually the same value so as rx has 316 as it's default I should be fine just using that? Cheers Adam.

    Hey, cheers. Temp protection hitting early is usually normal and just a sign of it working correctly. Especially for temps under 500F. It's (of course) not cutting power off completely, just regulating it. The smaller the build, the faster it might kick in (less mass to heat).

    Even when vapor production is lower than expected, it can often just mean a person enjoys a hotter, more aggressive vape. The only way to align our wishy-washy notions of temperature expectations, with reality, is to use a calibrated build and to get to know it.

    The RX200's SS316 setting is not an accurate TCR, it's a slightly more aggressive setting. A more accurate TCR is likely to feel underpowered.

    On top of that inaccuracy, the RX200 isn't perfect in its TCR representation compared against published material lab reports. It's in the ballpark, but not precise.

    So these values are just guidelines, as of this time of writing. Perhaps in the future there will be a way to calibrate a mod in a way that aligns its notion of TCR with the calibration.

    If you're interested in accuracy, for science and curiosity's sake, you can do a water calibration test (setting TCR such that boiling off water reads 212F) and get in the ballpark of what the correct TCR is for a given wire (well, a particular mod's notion of "correct" TCR).

    Otherwise, just pick a reasonable setting or TCR and dial it in with temp, would be my recommendation. If you get a system that works for you with the RX200's default SS316 setting, use it, and then you'll have three free TCR slots for other things. :)

    They are really weird. You have to turn them up to near 600F to get a decent vape because of the way the coil is sintered into the ceramic. So, you really can't measure the temp of vaporization by knowing the temp of the coil.

    I don't know what the solution is.
