Power Up and Power Down
Power Up increases power up to the “Power-Limit” value and then rolls over to 5W.
Power Down decreases the power down to 5W and then rolls over to the Power-Lim
value. The Power-Limit value is adjusted in the Extended Functions Sub-Menu “Heater”
and can be set to protect atomizers which are not prepared for high wattage. It can also
be used to reduce the power range. The wattage step size is 1 Watt below 20, 2W up
to 40W and 5W above 40W , but can be set to 0.5W, 1W and 2.5W respectively in the
mod-menu with “Half Watt=1”.
In Temperature Controlled Vaping mode, the Power Setting becomes the power limit
of the temperature regulator. If the power level is lower than the value needed to
achieve the selected temperature, the function changes from a temperature regulator
to a temperature limiter. If the power level is sufficiently high, it sets the heating speed
of the coil.
In “Bypass” mode (mechanical mod) the power setting is not available because the
power is defined by the battery voltage and coil resistance. The menu items “Power
Up/Down” are not displayed in this case.
Temperature Up and Temperature Down
This Menu item is only available and displayed if temperature controlled vaping is
selected (see Heater-Control menu item below). The Temperature Up/Down menu sets the
coil temperature during vaping. The temperature can be set from 120°C to
280°C (250°F- 540°F) in steps of 5°C (10°F). To achieve high precision temperature control
it’s necessary to perform a Manual Coil Temperature Calibration (TempCal Init)—see next
item.
Manual Coil Temperature Calibration
This Menu item is only displayed if temperature controlled vaping is selected (see
Heater Control menu item below). The Temperature calibration measures the coil
resistance at room temperature (20°C) as the reference for temperature controlled
vaping. (The calibration must be confirmed by pressing the button a second time to
avoid accidental changes.)
The the calibration can be performed manually or automatically. With the
automatic calibration enabled, the reference measurement is automatically
performed when the device is turned on. If the device is already on, it will calibrate
itself when the atomizer is attached. To get additional information please read the
“Application Note for Temperature Controlled Vaping”.
To achieve the highest degree of temperature accuracy the atomizer and coil have to
be cooled to room temperature (20°C) before calibrating. Otherwise the temperature
used during TCV will have an offset equal to the difference between ambient
temperature and 20°C. If, for example, the calibration is done at 40°C (20° above room
temperature) and TCV coil temperature is set to 220°C, the temperature during
operation will be 240°C.
It’s important for the user to take ambient temperature into account when operating the
device.
Coil Resistance and Coil Temperature
The coil resistance is displayed in a range from 0.00 to 9.90 Ohms. If temperature
controlled vaping is selected, the current coil temperature is displayed. If TCV is NOT in
use, the display shows T ---.
If the display does not show 20°C even with cool atomizer, it is recommended that
the uses perform a manual calibration.
