Fakirsmods Illusia-C can be used in up to 5 operation modes. The mode can be selected in the menu HCtrl.
The default operation is either standard (Power setting) or temperature controlled vaping. With the “Expert Mode” (Extended Functions
Mod-Menu) enabled, three additional operation modes are enabled (Heater Protection, Power Boost and Bypass). With Expert Mode
disabled, these three additional options are masked out.
In the standard operation mode, the wattage selected in the power setting menu is applied to
the coil, unless the set voltage would be greater than 10V or the set current would be greater
than 20A, which depends on the coil resistance.
For example with a coil resistance of 4 Ohms and a power setting of 40W, the required voltage
at the coil is 12.7V. With 4 Ohms the maximum wattage is 25W ((12V)²/4R=25W). Or, if the coil resistance is 0.1Ohm the maximum power
is 40W, because (20A)²*0.1Ohm=40W.
As can be seen from the examples, with high coil resistance the power is limited by the maximum voltage of 10V and with low resistances
by the maximum current of 20A.
A power of 60W is guaranteed from 0.2 to 1.6 Ohms. Resistances of 0.05 to 5 Ohms are possible but with a reduced power.
In this mode the mod will regulate the temperature of the coil to the pre-set value, except the
power setting is too low to achieve the temperature. So please note to adjust the power setting
to a value high enough, if you choose temperature controlled vaping. Otherwise the tempera-
ture regulation changes to a temperature limitation mode.
When HCtrl is set to 1, the menu directly jumps to the selection of the wire type. Here the user can select between dicodes-wire (NiFe30),
Nickel 200 (Ni), Titan (Ti), Tungsten (W, Wolfram), Stainless Steel (Inox) and “Other”. With “Other” selected, the temperature coefficient
defined in the Extended Functions Menu under item “Tmp. Cof” is used. The value of the selected coefficient is displayed behind “Wire”.
For commonly used wires, the predefined coefficients are: NiFe30=320, Nickel200=620, Ti-
tanium=350, Tungsten=440 and Stainless Steel=105. Note that there are different alloys for
Titanium and Stainless Steel on the market, so the predefined values can deviate from the
actual wire-value you use. In those case it is preferable to choose Other” as the wire type and
set the value of the wire in the extended functions heater Menu “TempCof”. The range for the
coefficient is 050 to 650. If you use the dicodes wire (RESISTHERM) it is guaranteed that the wire will always have the same coefficient,
because the wire was especially designed for temperature regulation purposes. The regulation accuracy is best then, as the combination
of resistivity and high coefficient is very good.
Note for using Nickel wire: Nickel has a high and always precise temperature coefficient (Ni200). But Nickel is not so easy to handle, be-
cause it is quite soft and it leads to very low resistance coils, because of its high conductivity. For the regulation accuracy smallest chang-
es of contact resistances due to atomizer movements (tightening) or mechanical thermal elongations lead to poor regulation accuracy.
The heater protection mode is a periodic interruption of the power applied to the coil. The du-
ration and the repetition rate of the interrupts is selected by means of the parameter “Heater
Prot” in the extended functions mod-menu. The repeated power interrupts helps to avoid a
break in liquid flow and thus an increase in temperature. The table below shows the relation between power interrupt and appliance time
in dependence of the parameter “Heater Prot”:
