You could in theory, but then you'd have to accept slower heat up times. A TCR mode (=Temperature coefficient of resistance) basically tries to get the coil to a certain temperature based on the resistance of the used wire material (each metal has different TCRs). The goal is to create an even vapor temperature that does not rely on your draw, thus creating a more streamlined experience. Slower heat up times would interfere that approach, the temp management tries to reach a set temp as quick as possible.
ohhh, so then you'd be cooking the crap out of it and killing precious terpenes. So it's sounding like Ni mode is a
kind of TCR mode... or are these 2 separate things entirely? When you say "resistance," is that getting into the sub-ohm part? l don't see how one's draw might influence one's vapor temp but that's ok lol. lf its aim is to reach a set temp as quick as possible, that would help explain why my Ni mode's stuck at a whopping 75w (this mod's max is 80w)
I think
@Siebter already responded about the TCR acronym and this point--sure, you could, but any decent temp control algorithm will handle this for you.
so you
can change the wattage in Ni mode! o:
Plus if you're inhaling out of a huge glass piece where you've got a lot of mechanical advantage pulling more air over the coils you want the extra headroom to maintain your set temperature--e.g. I rarely go over 30W with my Tetra P80 even with the temp set to 430 degrees, but if I'm hitting a giant bong I do because so much more air is being pulled past the coils to replace the air in the bong that I'm inhaling.
you rarely go over 30w w/ TC...doesn't it seem a tad odd for me to be at 75? Or is your mod's max wattage a lot lower than mine?
It should be possible with the Omni2 chip/board
I keep seeing this line, from their bumf (blindly copied and pasted again and again)
"
- In TC-Ni/TC-Ti/TC-SS/TCR (M1, M2) mode:
In TC-Ni/TC-Ti/TC-SS mode, the OMNI Board 2.0 allows you to change the startup wattage under temperate control mode.
"
Altho I don't have one to check for you unfortunately
And as you've discovered yourself, the YouTube advertisers just don't do TC lol
ty for pointing that out, l was able to come upon the same info w/ additional research but l'll be damned if l can find
how to do that lol
So I'd try TCR mode at about .0060 as a work around
idek what those numbers are in reference to, is that sub-ohm related?
All due respect
@Hippie but that seems like bad advice based on a misunderstanding of terminology or the way mods work. The start up wattage is, as Siebter and I were suggesting, the max amount of power the mod will use to reach whatever temp you’ve told it to get to. Changing the resistance in tcr mode changes how that temperature is read (and consequently how the algorithm stays at a set temp).
Changing the start up wattage in a temp-controlled mode has very little practical benefits (aside from maybe some battery savings). Changing the resistance to an arbitrary value isn’t a “work around” for being unable to change the start up wattage, it’s completely changing the temp control algorithm.
If I were op I’d not worry about the start up wattage at all.
wow that was over my head lol. Only reason l'm worried about the wattage in Ni mode is because here
https://www.reddit.com/r/DivineTribeVaporizers/wiki/v4wiki under recommended settings it says 33w...if high wattage wouldn't harm the coil then why bother giving a recommended setting? Especially knowing now directly from the source...l was able to get in touch with support @Divine Tribe. Took them only a few days to get back to me, and they said that on their picos they sell that both the wattage and temp are adjustable in Ni mode. They've politely agreed to help me try to figure out how to configure my specific mod, l gave them the make/model and am awaiting a response. Speaking of reaching out directly to the source, l also shot an email to Vaporesso and am hoping for a response from them explaining how to do this. l'll let you guys know if/when l get a response
Reducing the starting wattage will reduce the chances of overshooting the desired temp in TC mode.
That's what
I was thinking o: overshooting the temp and shortening the lifespan of my coil
Sorry, maybe I am misunderstanding--isn't the TCR value directly setting the resistance (or having the mod read it if it features that functionality) when you aren't using coils built with one of the presets (e.g. NI)? If that’s not what you meant maybe you should more accurately explain what you mean so the op understands which setting to change, as I don’t think it’s clear either, but I assume you meant the tcr coefficient.
Yeah l'm not sure what that decimal number is Dx
If you overshoot the desired temp it will be for a split second and the mod will correct back down to the correct value, but I guess if the PID algorithm your mod uses is really misconfigured maybe there is some value in what you're saying.
PID?
I've never seen any reason to mess with it, and I don't think we were playing any guessing games aside from describing the differences between wattage mode and a temp control mode.
supposedly with my mod the temp control mode is capable of its wattage being changed as well. l just don't know how to do it, dagnabbit lol
Just read one of the guides on the subject .....
Hello everyone! This is a work-in-progress guide to temperature control (TC) in the vaping domain – what it is exactly, how it works, how it is implemented in different mods, a description of all the variables of TC and how to tweak them in order to modify your vaping experience! This guide...
www.ecigssa.co.za
you know l actually started checking that out and l think it could be a really good learning tool for me, as it targets those like me who know next to nothing on the topic. The fact that the author's native tongue isn't English astounds me.
I guess the devices I use have enough resistance to be okay with 75W in that split second
.
therein lies my dilemma as l don't think that this specific quartz coil is designed to go above 33w w/o it's lifespan suffering.
Thank you to everyone for your input so far, it's appreciated! Also pardon the delayed response, there's been a lot going on!
