I tend use the splinter using TRF over TCR for temperature control. Just feel it's a better method if your mod offers it.
Basically the mods isn't reading the temperature but the resistance change to the heater wire as wattage is applied and the wire heats up.
Lets say that your using 316L SS for heater coil. TCR you using a line to decided how the it's reading these change's based on just one value. With TRF using a curve that takes muti resistance changes and values into account. See example below. First row of numbers is temperature second is the expected resistance change.
Problem is theres no real standard even within the same material one company 316 SS might read different than another company 316 ss depending on material quality. Add things like mica and mesh heater really finding the proper resistance values to enter becomes more of a pain.

Nott a fan of the screens that come with the splinter. On Amazon you can by 15 good top hat screens that have a metal ring that pushes flush with the glass. Makes it way easier to stir or dump out loads. They are only 9.99.

Thank you for that @Lazy Lighting. They dont seem to ship to the UK, but im sure i can find something similar!

These look right or these are cheaper (but have no confirmed size)
So i need to make sure the screens that came with it fit flush before attempting to use it?

@RastaBuddhaTao has talked from time to time about coming up with some kind of capsule basket. I hope with the China initiative he's freed up to focus more on accessories.

Nobody corrected me but in fact I was completely wrong. The PAM is a Splinter with two exposed electrodes instead of a 510 base. This is much more interesting as it could be potentially soldered directly to a DNA board or any other regulator.
Well...unless I'm completely off-track once again heh!

I have one. You're spot on this time.
Various experiments ongoing.
There's a @RastaBuddhaTao approved PAM community over on 420vapezone, but a lot of the activity is in private messages.

Personally with how easy is to just press one button I won't bother with it

I use DNA250C Replay mode. Not exactly the same thing but similar. Can keep it engaged for 30 seconds easily. Nothing like the Milaana experience of pulsing. Automatic transmission verses gears and clutch.

Listen everyone, Ryan just put up published a IG stream. I tuned in late, but it was chock full of informative stuff specifically in regards to glass stems so I encourage you to watch it. I have to watch it again for the 1st 1/2 that I missed.
OK, I'm now confused. Just went to watch it & Ryan took it down. ??? Anyway, I'll keep checking.

I generally use cruise mode to warmup the Splinter or about 30 seconds then switch over to manual temp control to save battery power.
I've run it for 5min cruises with no issues too but I think Ryan has said not to run the heater constantly for that long so I've stopped doing that

Isn't a preheat of 30 secs a long time in terms of overheating the weed? And what do you do for subsequent hits? I believe @AJS preheats for 10 sec on the initial hit & subsequent hits are 1 to 2 sec. This is what I've been doing.
