I just picked up the IPV3 Li and installed the firmware upgrade . I wanted to vape at a little higher joules with my nickle build so I put it in Ti mode and bumped it to 70 joules . Its hitting like a BOSS ! Is it ok to do this ?
Vaping Ni200 in Titanium mode ?

No telling what it is actually doing since you have the system calculating for a completely different set of variables.
This is likely like driving the wrong way on a one way street. Just how busy is it?

I've done the upgrade but in Ni200 mode , in Joule mode it only goes to 50 . If I change to Ti mode it will go to 100 .
The temp sensing is likely not working and it's dumping far more power into the coil than it should be.
I asked this a while ago: My understanding was that the IPV3 Li has a certain coefficient of resistance curve programmed for titanium. If you used nickel, that programming won't match. However, people run titanium in nickel mode and just run it at a lower (I believe), corrected temperature of 70 - 100 degrees less (I believe). I think you can run a higher temperature as the inverse to compensate, but no telling how consistent it will vape.
PS: I am waiting for the ipv4 firmware update (which feels like its never coming) which should run more joules in titanium mode than nickel, which is exactly the same reason I asked the same question as you, lol. I would try it out for sure because having that extra power is worth the attempt.

Right now I'm running a nickle build .17 in Ti mode at 75 joules and 420 degrees , and it is rocking ! Still havnt burnt the cotton .
Is it warmer than a similar nickel build at the same temperature? This is great news if its working for you!
Not any warmer , same build in Ni200 mode and same temp at 50 joules feels the same . It is regulating the voltage a little different but not by huge variances .
"the mod can use nickel wire and also kanthal wire to control temperature"
I think you mean titanium there, not kanthal.
well you can vape it in temp control mode, but the board isnt regulating anything... Go ahead, ask me how I know.
this is really not true at all..
first you cannot use kanthal in temp mode, at least with the current batch of devices. The melting temp of the wire is completely irrelevant. You statetment about temp range for vaping is erroneous and not helpful. Cotton will start to burn around 420 and upwards dependenibg on build/wire/device/mod/day of the week. Not being a smarty pants but people need accurate and informed info, not a bunch of random numbers!
