only available and displayed if temperature controlled vaping is
selected
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, if not, the display shows T ---.
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 mod
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 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 in to 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.
For further information about this topic, please read the “Appication Note for Temperature Controlled
Vaping”, available on the dicodes-mods website.
In TC-mode, if the display does not show 20°C after calibration, even with a cooled down atomizer, we
recommeded to perform the calibration again.
Note that for coils with very low resistance, like Nickel-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 rcommend to use other than Nickel coils, e.g. The NiFe30 (RESISTHERM) wire
from dicodes.
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 .
