Heater Control (Operation modes)
The device can be used in up to 5 operating modes. The mode can be selected in this
menu:
The default mode is either Power (0) or Temperature Controlled Vaping(1).
If "Expert Mode" (Extended Functions Mod menu) is enabled, the Heater Protection (2),
Power Boost (3) and Bypass (4, mechanical mod) modes are also available.
If the Expert Mode is deactivated, the menu items 2 to 4 are hidden.
0. Power Mode
In power mode, the wattage selected in the power setting menu is applied to the coil
unless the voltage would become greater than 10 V or the current greater than 18 A,
which depends on the coil resistance.
For example, with a coil resistance of 4 ohms and a power setting of 40 W, the required
voltage across the coil is 12.65 V. So in such a case, the electronics is limited to 25 W ((10
V)²/4 ohms = 25 W). Or with a coil resistance of 0.1 Ohm and a setpoint of 45 W, the
electronics limits to 32.4 W, because (18A)²*0.1 Ohm=32.4 W.
As can be seen from the examples, the power is limited by the maximum voltage of 10V
for high coil resistance and by the maximum current of 18A for low resistance. This fact is
also reflected in the function list: a power of 60W is guaranteed from 0.2 to 1.6 ohms.
Resistors from 0.05 to 5 ohms are possible, but with a lower power.

1. Temperature controlled vaping
In this mode, the device will regulate the temperature of the coil to the preset value
unless the power setting is too low to reach the temperature. So please make sure that
you set the power setting to a high enough value if you choose to use temperature
controlled vapor. Otherwise, the temperature control will switch to a temperature
limiting mode.
When HCtrl is set to 1, the menu jumps directly to the wire type selection. The user can
choose between NiFe30 (Dicodes wire), Nickel200, Titanium, Tungsten, Stainless Steel
and "other".
If "other" is selected, the temperature coefficient is defined in the menu "Extended
Functions / Heater" under the menuitem "Tmp. Cof". The value of the selected
coefficient is displayed after "Wire".
For commonly used wires the predefined coefficients are: NiFe30=320, Nickel200=620,
Titanium=350, SS304=105, SS316=88, SS316L=92 and NiFe48=480. Note that there are
different alloys for titanium and stainless steel on the market, so the predefined values
may differ from the actual wire value used. In these cases, it is preferable to select
"other" as the wire type and set the value of the wire in the extended functions menu.
The range for the coefficient is between 050 and 650.
Example: A value of 320 (NiFe30) means a resistance change of 32% with a temperature
increase of 100°C.
