@SubRosa I don't know why you're even so interested in
resistance. The temp in the cup is what matters, isn't it?
It sounds like you got that working OK, 380 degrees ultimately
creeping up to 400 degrees + is right on, that works like a
charm for me. Tiny dabs that deliver 3 tasty rips that you can
hold down, just a light fog on the exhale (yeah, most of it
went right into the old circulation). Not a trace of dark gollum
drippings or microclimate pockets of decomposition.
If you observe a while we may come to agree on why too high a
climb wattage isn't very helpful.
The cup temp isn't reflected in
the resistance of the heaters, there's loose coupling and delay.
It goes back to control theory, a need for anticipation and smoothing,
or how you burn and freeze your butt off if you over-react on the
hot water knob in the shower. Or how you land an aircraft,
if you want to "grease in on" the runway and not bounce ;-)
On the gun, if you move the gun like a carb cap over the cup,
you'll see it's not just distance. I don't know how exactly
the infrared sensor reacts, but it's got to be quite directional
for the laser pointer to mean anything at all from greater
distance. So if you kind of "swirl" the gun over the cup, the
max reading picks up more of the regions on the cup.
Yo,
@Hackerman I swear, if you take the time to dial in a good
Temp Control situation, you're not going back to Watts mode.
If nothing else, you can just push the button and let the CPU
in the mod do all the work. And you'll get twice the mileage if
not more. I see people teaching nubies that you don't have
to hold it down. It's pretty obvious that if you're blowing 3/4
of an inhalation out, you're only getting 1/4 of the meds,
it's not rocket science. And if you're heating the stuff up with
no Temp Control, the vapor is too hot and hurty to hold down.
If you "grease it on" with the heat, that gram goes a long way,
hundreds of
tasty-no-wasty clouds of contentment.
Hey, the torch and nail people have figured out that if they
drop in a pre-loaded quartz insert into a hot banger, they get
a rising temp effect, I forget the acronym, a LOT more mileage
and tastier rips. You get all of that and more running a QQ in
temp control mode.
Hell, it's worth buying a couple to keep 'em loaded up with
a schmear in your coat pockets, for the fall season.
Matt, @divinetribe I propose you offer a discounted price to
existing customers if we buy additional QQs so we can keep
several QQs locked and loaded for bear, out on the town.
I did get some V9 carts to try. Also got a fake 75W Pico on e-bay.
The menus are all FUBAR, it doesn't do TC correctly. Drat.
