Ok, sounds good.
Trust me, I've watched that exact video several times. Including last night. The graph you posted showed the Dicodes pulsing when he used an extremely wet coil (he did several priming hits to pull juice into the coil). If you go and read my post again, I stated the few instances where he experienced pulsing. Not just the instance depicted on the graph you posted. I can send a link to that exact video if you like? I'm definitely not making this up brother.
Dicodes is actually NOT a chip and mod manufacturer in the way that you think. The mod/chip making is a "subdivision" if you will, of Dicodes. A higher up in Dicodes was very passionate about vaping and decided to make his own, using the same principles and quality as the medical equipment. Dicodes is actually a company that makes tech/equipment for the medical field. Forgot to clarify that yesterday. In that PBursado video, he shows that the Dicodes No° 6 employed a level of accuracy that the DNA didn't/couldn't. Even though his device in particular had some faulty tendencies/issues. At the same time, I also stated that a DNA is more than capable despite those "deficiencies". My main line up (my all day, everyday vapes) is a Lost Vape Therion DNA75C and a Dicodes Dani Box 21700 (a custom/proprietary FL80 chip supposedly). I have a custom Lizard Box Mods Komodo 2.0 (DNA75C) coming in within the next week or 2. I had a DNA250C prototype that I just returned to Mario (Lizard Box Mods) a few days ago.
Yes, this is true to an EXTENT. Any Dicodes will be better equipped at higher resistances and a DNA will be better equipped with lower resistances. The problem with that is, you can find many articles and several videos of people using a Dicodes to much lower resistances just like a DNA. I mean, Dicodes are rated and capable from 0.05 - 5 ohms. On the otherhand, DNA's will still have those deficiencies in the higher resistance range. Though, DNA's are more than capable of doing so. I mean, in PBusardo's video, the DNA75 wasn't entirely accurate even at lower ohms despite functioning just fine. I stated in my initial comment (or short novel) the voltage capabilities of both devices/chips and what kind of electricity they use. AC will always be more capable than DC. I've never received a "smoother" feeling vape or functionality because of this. Basically, all I'm trying to accomplish here, is diminish the biased statements made based off BOTH chipsets. At the end of the day, there will be people with personal preferences and both will have their pros and cons. I just don't want people to base their opinions off false/misinterpreted info.
Unfortunately, either you misinterpreted my comment/info or you're assuming I'm solely a Dicodes user and pusher. I brought up the screen comparisons because YOU claimed that the Dicodes screen is outdated due to not having color, amongst other things. So I provided info/facts explaining why that's not necessarily the case. I've posted on YouTube comments and other forums that I RECENTLY just acquired my FIRST, personal Dicodes device. Before that, I solely used DNA's. I have several ways to prove this if you like. Back to the screen comparison, there's no denying that OLED is superior to TFT LCD displays. What you need to understand is the school of thought between Dicodes and DNA. I proved that if chosen to do so, Dicodes could easily make their screens colored just like a DNA but, they prefer the simplicity of their current displays. I was merely saying that if Dicodes implemented color, DNA's color screens wouldn't be that impressive to you (and anyone else). As they're only TFT displays which isn't the best choice when it comes to displays. I never said that it automatically made it a BETTER device overall, I said that it made it a better quality screen thats just as capable of a full-color display. Once again, I only stated this because you brought up the colored display of the DNA as an advantage or pro over the Dicodes. Also, I wouldn't say that displays/screens are a "very small aspect in the grand scheme of things", when it takes up 1/3 - 1/4 of ANY debate/argument between the two chips. Back to the point, of course, DNA's give you the ability to display what you want on the screen (I'm a fan of it), there's no debating that. However, we CAN debate whether or not having that choice, is an "advantage". Although you can't display everything you want on a Dicodes home screen, all that info can be checked or accessed in the vast options, within the menu. Some people can't stand looking at a bunch of info displayed on their device. Some see it as confusing, despite how crazy that sounds. Similar to the old debate between Apple and Android, that base principal is very much relevant/present in vape devices. Which would make this point subjective as well. Aside from the fact that display options have nothing to do with the performance of the mod/chip itself, when it comes to the actual vaping experience or accuracy of what you're doing. In essence, what good comes from having a picture of a puppy in the background of your screen? Or what good comes from being able to show any setting/stat on your home screen, when it's been proven to be inaccurate at times? That said, when I use a DNA I like the option a lot but, when I use a Dicodes, that option becomes less prevalent. I don't find it to be an inconvenience at all. I rather have superb performance over customization or "convenience". Not that a DNA doesn't execute great performance..
Hmm, to my understanding (in short), TC allows you (or the mod) to control the temp by measuring the resistance of your coil. As you have said, when temp increases, so does the resistance. TC works best when your coils resistance has been locked at room temp, which in return, gives your mod more control or a more accurate measurement of the resistance. Which results in better TC. Now, Replay may have nothing to do with temp but, it does lock the resistance in a sense, in order to repeat or give you the best chance of aquiring that same hit, over and over again. It was literally created for people who DIDN'T want to mess around with TC or thought TC was too tedious/difficult. Both have been claimed to eliminate dry hits. All in all, both Replay and TC are used so a user can achieve the vape he or she desires. Which is why I said it's a form of TC. In terms of people being biased because they said that Replay won't/hasn't worked flawlessly, is a biased claim in and of itself. Nothing is 100% perfect or reliable. You can literally find many cases of people (more than I can count) claiming that their chip has shorted, fried completely, and jumped out of replay mode. At one point, DNA's had a very high return rate or percentage of faulty chips. Since then, they have changed that. On the otherhand, Dicodes has never really had a high return/failure rate. Granted, DNA's take up much more of the market share in the U.S.. In Europe, that's a difderent story. They much prefer Dicodes out there which is why Dicodes runs the vaping game over there.
Yes, very true. The only way ANY mod could measure that kind of information/data ACCURATELY, is to have a built in multimeter, dc voltmeter, and/or dc ammeter, amongst other methods. That said, based off many accounts, it has been proven that Dicodes devices have a better battery efficiency when it comes to vaping time. Using the same batteries, same amount of batteries, and same wattage, a Dicodes typically lasts longer than a DNA. Unless you have used a Dicodes, let alone both, you wouldn't know or have an idea if that's typically true or not. I have used both and the only way I can prove that is to post a picture of two devices next to eachother.
I actually said in my initial comment that PBursado shows the differences between the two chips, in that video, when it came down to how accurately they both fired wattages through a corresponding resistance. The Dicodes was the only one to literally read the resistances, output the advertised wattage, and output the advertised voltage accurately. They both read resistances accurately but, Dicodes has typically been able to do so more often. Dicodes is literally known to be the most accurate when it comes to reading resistances.
Yes, it's an option if one requires such wattage levels but, as you have said, options are hard to debate. The average MTL vaper (including pod systems or starter kits) will vape between 10 - 25 watts. The average DL vaper will vape between 50 - 100+ watts. Typically, the average wattage used collectively (median) is probably around 25 - 60 watts. Then again, Europe is a big fan of MTL and restricted DL vaping, so it's more likely to be around 10-35 watts over there. The Dicodes Dani Box 21700 is an 80 watt device but, has a 100 watt boost function. All this is subjective and speculation so it's up to the user/individual to decide what's right for them.
Im glad that we can come to an agreement on that brother! At the end of the day, whatever keeps you off the stinky's or cancer sticks is ALL that matters! Again, I love both DNA and Dicodes but, I find it interesting to hear everyone else's opinions on the matter. There's no need to get hostile when you can have a simple yet, intelligent conversation. Friendly debate and factual information (with exceptions) is the only kind of conversation or data I seek. Obviously, people's personal input, advice, or opinions are welcome. So long as the info given isn't outlandish or annoyingly biased.
