penelope and all NR-R-NR GG artomizers will work the most of the times jess. A few times the auto detection will be wrong but the most of the times it will be right

Does the auto detection actually matter?
As long as we can set the temp to xxx C - or, what am I missing?

My understanding is that temperature control accuracy depends on the thermal properties of the alloy used in the wire. Since VIR support several tpes of alloys, auto-detection does matter to make sure the temp you set is the temp you get. That's my understanting, I'll be corrected if I'm wrong ;)

You are not wrong.

The problem with NR wires is that they add resistance to the R wire which for VIR would mean 2 things. Not being able to detect accurately the type of wire, but it might I dunno, and second it will think the wire is at higher temperature than it actually is. Which means it will cutoff earlier. We need to play with the temperature when there is NR. But doesn't matter as long as you are vaping at your sweet spot.

That's kind off what I mean. If the temp control is set to 200, what do I care if it's actually 180 or 250? As long as it's doing what I want?... I can see its a useful reference point- to try and repeat the same when a new coil/wick is needed. What I'm trying to say is - it wouldn't matter (to me) if the 200 setting is accurate or not - as long as the 200 setting delivers the same as it did last time. Whatever the "actual" temperature was...

Most of us here are long time GG enthusiasts and it's no surprise that we're excited with this.
Comparisons to DNA40 are always welcome though, competition results in better products. On the other hand, I'm really bugged by the attitude of certain people; after all you're the one visiting the GG forum, show some respect. Personally, I don't care how good the DNA40 is, when it's that big. Take a look at the devices powered by it, they look ridiculous.

you are missing 2 things Dont:

1. There is no need to know what wire you put on your atomizer, VIR will detected and thats a unique and very difficult feature to be made. Also and most important, in case you made a mistake and put the wrong wire, you will not get burned.
2. If you put a hot atomizer in your Proteus, then your readings will be totally wrong. VIR detects a hot atomizer and measure it the right way to give you proper temperature control

you dont care if the temperature is right buddy? Then how will you be protected from the components that are produced from the disintegration of your liquid? Or how you will be protected from the fumes of your burned wick? Or how will you protect your wire from the dangerous oxidation and of course the burn taste? Thats the purpose we try to archive for a safe vaping. Temperature control doesnt have a meaning if we dont know at what temperature we vape. Electronics that arent accurate on this issue, are totally useless because they will not do what you want.

And something else. If we are not accurate on temperature then we must not name it temperature control because it isnt. We can give it another name more appropriate

My comment started about auto detection of nr r nr wires - which would work either most of the time, or some of the time. My point was, does it matter? As if it doesn't auto detect accurately - but still work - (meaning it would vape) does it matter? "Unless I'm missing something".
I was assuming that it would "anyway", not burn the coil or the wick as there is a maximum temperature... Plainly, I got that completely wrong?
