TC was where I started to dig, and that's only because the few folks I know were interested in the TC capabilities.
I think I got mine running OK and accurately enough. I tried hitting "resample" on the coil earlier today, while unit was at room temp, and it was very close to where I has landed messing around on my own.
I noticed messing with cold ohms in one profile does not affect the others... I am interested to know if I could get mirror performance at 0.32 ohms (stock) in TC if I edited the TCR values in escribe... I will start messing with it tonight.
Here is a bowl I did at 445F from the start... I brushed the top half of the load off,to show how thoroughly cooked it was. nice and even on the inside:
That looks more like what I would expect to see AVB wise
Having the different profiles might have added to the confusion. In the DNAc each profile uses a separate cold OHM value. It designed for use with different e-cig addys.
Basically each profile has it's own separate settings. With having 8 different profiles this allows for a ton of customized setting. When testing 12 elites I could see a incorrect OHM value possibly been transformed to the wrong profile. It was a totally of 96 different profiles Mike adjusted over 12 Elites well medicating. Since the coils where a close to same in this batch it might have caused my misunderstanding of what Mike PM me where he was setting cold OHMs at.
Here is some more details from

I highlighted the most important aspect.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is extremely important that when you attach an atty to your mod that the atty is cooled down to the current ambient temperature. Just to give you an indication of the sensitivity we are talking about, consider the following example. You have an SS coil installed, with a resistance of 0.5 Ohm, at the current ambient temperature of 28 °C (your mod will most likely assume it at 20 °C, but the 8 ° difference won’t hurt us much). You take a toot or two on it - and the coil temperature jumps to 240 °C, with a resistance of 0.68 Ohm. If you remove and reconnect your atty (and stating that it is a ‘new coil’ - more on this in the next paragraph), your mod will think the base resistance is 0.68 Ohm at 20 °C. If you hit it now, it will go up to what the mod thinks is 220 °C, but the resistance will be 0.86 Ohm, which in reality will be ~400 °C. In other words, you will get one hell of a dry hit, and most likely some fire from the atty as well. This is a drastic example, but take my word
that even a change of 0.05 Ohm of the base resistance can lead to very large (40 to 100 °C) changes in the measured temperature in comparison to the actual temperature. This will either lead to a dry hit when the mod thinks it is still safe, or practically no vapour at all.
Your mod determines the cold resistance when you connect an atty - it assumes the atty is sufficiently cooled down. However, this is not always practical - maybe you have an atty that you have to remove in order to refill, but don’t want to wait 10 minutes before you reconnect it. For this reason, almost all TC mods have a check when you connect an atty. It will generally ask you “Is this a new coil? Y or N?” prompted by a left or right button press. If you say “no” it will use the previously determined last cold resistance which it used. If you say “yes” it will read the resistance of the atty, and use that value as the cold resistance. Note that most mods have an undocumented function where you can reset the cold resistance (or at least reset the prompt) by disconnecting your atty, then hitting the fire button (with no atty connected). Doing so will result in your mod always asking whether your coil is new when you reconnect it.

In FCSHARE profiles I remove the cold OHM value to force a remeasure. With the elite I suggest to Mike supply this info. That why he suggested not to remeasure the coil.
One issue I have had is people not waiting for devices coil to cool down before a remeasuring. They would be using device then install a new profile and remeasure a warm coil.
I was hoping using this method would make things easier for the elite user. Really no biggie since just a software settings and you can easily update this software. I figured as more of these get out to people issue might pop up.
What I'm going do is to upload up a profile and 3 different material files ( Hot material is installed in profile). Mike adjusted the TCR values in a attempt to produce the best experience and not sure what one he adjusted (I think he adjusted Hot material?) so it's easier to just supply all three.
I rather do it this way for testing than to upload a new version of the software. Profile 8 is unused and I'm going suggest we use it for testing. This won't effect the other profiles so seems a good use for it.
If you like to help with testing.
Using escribe load this profile into profile 8 slot.
Elitetester.ecigprofile
After upload, it will force a remeasure of coil on profile 8 please do this on a coil that's cold.
Under Material tab is a place to upload these 2 additional material.
Cool.csv
Warm.csv
These are wide enough apart to give you a different experiences. There roughly equal to a TCR value of Cool 90 TCR Warm 100TCR and Hot 109TCR
(I used TFR material files so TCR value are more close range than a exact match).
Once you find one that is close to your ideal experience you can adjust the TCR value of it to more closely match your likes. Use a small adjustment of 1 TCR till you zero in on value you prefer.
Since there can be variable on the user side. Like what type screen people you use. The possibility of different distance from coil if using something like 19/19 stems.( My rough guess is each additional 1mm distance from coil is roughly 5 degrees temperature difference).
These file should give a few option to start zeroing in to what experience best suits each user needs.
I based the Hot material temperature by comparing it to the Mighty at the same temperature. Using the stock stem and screen. Granted this method isn't perfect but it's as close as I'm able to achieve.
Also Mike is right, this guys has got me spoiled too
I spent a couple days last week on getting travel vapes setups together. Although my travels vaporizer preform really well. I prefer the Elite for my Home use.
Been over 5 weeks with the elite and our honeymoons is over...but the marriage is damn strong. This is going be a long lasting relationship.
Well folks my hand has had it for now will check back later. I'm going go medicate and test some new batteries out. The Elite tracks power usage and puff time so we should be able to more easily compare the battery life using these figures.
My guess is umm around 100 puffs at roughly 10 seconds each. Testing at 400 degrees using a new battery. (same battery as Mike supplies with the Elite)
