In the Power menu the power setting can be changed by means of the plus/minus buttons in steps up to the Power-Limit (PLim, EF-
Menu/Heater) value or down to 5W respectively. If the wrap-around is activated, the setting rolls over at the PLim/5W border. When wrap-
around is disabled, further increase or decrease is blocked at the borders. The Power-Limit value is adjusted in the Extended Functions
Sub-Menu “Heater” and provides a protection feature for atomizers which are not prepared for high wattage or to reduce the power range
intentionally.
The wattage step size is 1 Watt below 20W, 2W from 20W 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”.
Note: In temperature control mode (TC-mode) the Power setting defines the permitted power for
the heating up phase of the coil. If the power level is smaller than the value needed to achieve
the selected temperature, the operation changes from a temperature regulator to a temperature
limiter. Keep this in mind, if the mod doesn’t reach the expected temperature. If the power level is sufficiently high, it sets the heating
up speed of the coil until the set-point temperature is reached. After the heating up phase, the power is reduced automatically by the
temperature controller.
In the operation mode “Bypass” (mechanical mod), changing the power setting is not available, because the power is defined by the
battery voltage and coil resistance. The menu “Power” is not displayed in this case, but the value display during and after the vape shows
the actual power output to the coil.
When the battery voltage decreases, power is reduced starting from the voltage set by the parameter UbatMin (EF-mod menu) plus 0.5V
and ending at 10W at UbatMin. E.g. UbatMin=2.5V and Power=40W => Full 40W until battery voltage is at 3.0V, and then reduced to
34W at 2.9V, 28W at 2.8V and so forth. When the power is reduced, the battery symbol in the display starts blinking. We recommend
to set UbatMin between 2.5 and 2.7V.
This Menu item is only available and displayed if temperature controlled vaping is selected (see
Heater-Control menu item below). So the menu structure adapts to the selected operation mode.
The Temperature Up/Down menu sets the set point for the coil temperature during vaping. The
temperature set point 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 tempera-
ture control, a correctly performed reference measurement (TempCal Init) is mandatory, see next item.
This Menu item is only displayed if temperature controlled vaping is selected (see Heater Control
menu item below). For the use of temperature controlled vaping, the calibration measurement
is a very important part of it.
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 accidental 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. Similar, 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 “Application Note for Temperature Controlled Vaping”, available on the dicodes website.
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 current measured coil temperature is
also displayed, if not, the display shows T ---.
If the display does not show 20°C even with cooled down atomizer, it is recommended to per-
form a manual calibration again.
Note that for coils with very low resistance, like Nickel-coils, a slight mechanical rearrangement (tightening the atomizer) can lead to dra-
matic 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. Operation Modes
