ManualCoilTemperatureCalibration
TheTemperatureUp/Downmenusetsthesetpointforthecoiltemperatureduringvaping.Thetemperature
setpointcanbeselectedfrom120°Cto280°C(250°F-540°F)instepsof5°C(10°F).Toachieveahighprecision
temperaturecontrol,acorrectlyperformedreferencemeasurement(TempCalInit)ismandatory,seenextitem.
Thetemperaturecalibrationmeasuresthecoilresistanceatroomtemperature(20°C)asthereference
fortemperaturecontrolledvaping.This,togetherwiththewire’stemperaturecoefficientenablesthedevice
tocalculatethecoil’stemperature.Thecalibrationmustbeconfirmedinasecondsteptoavoidaccidential
activation.Afterconfirmationthedisplayshows“process”untilthecalibrationiscompleted.Itisextremely
importanttounderstand,that,ifthecalibrationisperformedatatemperatureotherthan20°C,thecontrol
willregulateaconstanttemperature,butwithanoffsetdeviation.Sotaketheambienttemperatureduring
thetemperatureadjustmentintoaccount.Similiar,ifawrongtemperaturecoefficientwasadjusted,the
actualtemperaturemightdeviatedramaticallyfromtheset-point(hereitisafactorandnotanoffset).
Alwaysperformacalibration,whenanewatomizerisattached,evenifitismadefromthesamecoil
material.
InTC-mode,ifthedisplaydoesnotshow20°Caftercalibration,evenwithacooleddownatomizer,we
recommedtoperformthecalibrationagain.
Notethatforcoilswithverylowresistance,likeNickel-coils,orwithlowtemperaturecoefficient,like
stainlesssteelcoils,aslightmechanicalrearrangement(tighteningtheatomizer)canleadtodrastical
changesinthetemperaturecontroldueto thechangeofcontactresistances.Wethereforerecommend
touseotherthanNickelcoils,e.g.TheNiFe30(RESISTHERM)wirefromdicodes.
Alsonote,thatwhenthedeviceshowsveryhighorverylowtemperaturesthemeasuredresistance
deviatesalotfromthestoredcalibrationvalue.Thisisnotafaultofthemod.Checkthecontactsand
atomizerconnection,then.
Notethatthedisplaywillbecontinouslyupdated,iftheplusorminusbuttoniskeptpressedafter
thevalueshavebeenhighlighted(orinverted).Thiscanhelpduringproblemdiagnoses.
