Main menu
Power Up and Power Down (Setting the Power)
Power Up increases the power gradually up to the set Power Limit and then starts again
at 5W; correspondingly in the reverse direction. The Power Limit value is set in the
Extended Functions submenu and provides a power limit for lower power atomizers or
for a desired power limit. The step size is 0.5W in the 5-30W range and 1W above 30W.
For temperature controlled vaping (if activated), the set power value determines the
maximum power that can be delivered to the coil. If this power is lower than the power
required to reach the set temperature, the temperature control becomes a temperature
limit. If the power is high enough, it determines the heating rate of the coil until the set
temperature is reached. In the "Bypass" mode, the power setting is not available,
because in this case the power depends only on the battery voltage and the resistance of
the coil. The Power Up and Power Down menu items are then not displayed.
Temperature Up and Temperature Down (Setting the Temperature)
This menu item is only available and displayed if temperature-controlled vaping has been
selected (see Heating control menu). The menu structure adapts to the selected
operating mode. The Temperature up/down menu is used to set 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 increments of 5°C (10°F). To achieve a highly precise temperature
control, a correctly performed reference measurement (TempCal Init) is required, see
next point.
Manual Coil Temperature Calibration
This menu item is only displayed if temperature-controlled vaping is selected (see
Heating control menu item below). When using temperature controlled steaming, the
calibration measurement is a very important part of it.
The temperature calibration measures the coil resistance at room temperature (20°C) as
a reference for temperature controlled vaping. Together with the temperature
coefficient of the wire, this allows the device to calculate the temperature of the coil.
The calibration must be confirmed in a second step to avoid accidental activation. After
confirmation, the display will show "process" until calibration is complete. It is very
important to understand that if the calibration is performed at a temperature other than
20°C, the controller will regulate a constant temperature, but with an offset
deviation.Therefore, take into account the ambient temperature during the temperature
calibration. Similarly, if an incorrect temperature coefficient has been set and the actual
temperature deviates greatly from the setpoint (this is a factor, not an offset).
Always perform a calibration when a new atomizer is connected, even if it is made of the
same coil material.
Coil Resistance and Coil Temperature
This is a display only menu item. The coil resistance is displayed in a range from 0.00 to
9.90 ohms is displayed. If temperature controlled vaping is selected, the measured/
calculated coil temperature is also displayed, otherwise the display shows T ---.
Note that if the plus or minus button is held down after the values are highlighted (or
inverted), the display will continuously update. This can be helpful in diagnosing
problems.
If the display does not show 20°C in TC mode after calibration, even when the atomizer
has cooled down, we recommend that you perform the calibration again.
Note that for coils with very low resistance, such as nickel coils, a slight mechanical
change (tightening the atomizer) can lead to drastic changes in temperature control due
to the change in contact resistance. We therefore recommend using coils other than
nickel, e.g. NiFe30 (RESISTHERM) wire from dicodes.
