This is a display only menu item. The coil resistance is displayed in a
range from 0.00 to 9.90 Ohms. If temperature controlled vaping is
selected, the measured/calculated coil temperature is also displayed,

Coil Resistance and Coil Temperature

This Menu item is

(see Heater Control menu item below). For the use of temperature

controlled vaping, the calibration measurement is a very important part of it.

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 .
