  1. Wanted to bump this.  I searched for this feature request and really would like to see this.  I keep my watts pretty much always set, and often depending on juice/mood/ambient temperature, find myself wanting to change temperature.  And while I've gotten pretty good at 5click/one finger double button/adjust, I would REALLY like temp to be adjustable instead of wattage.  Make it an option like others have suggested, set up by profile on escribe.

    SS covers a large number of alloys, resistivity is no the same at the Temperature Coefficient of Resistance that the DNA used to gauge temperature.  The simple answer is if temp limiting is not working you almost certainly have non matched alloy and TCR.  Hopefully wire vendors will start to provide TCR  curves in the near future.

    IIRC the video Brandon did on the DNA40 launch with PBusardo he explained that a difficulty with ss was the variance in the alloys.

    (ss will not be nearly as accurate as Ti wish will not be as accurate as NI)



    Shouldn't there be minimal variance though?  We're not just talking SS "wire" here.  We're talking 316L SS wire, which is a pretty specific makeup.

    Whelp, before just making claims, I did google it.  "316L" Fe, <0.03% C, 16-18.5% Cr, 10-14% Ni, 2-3% Mo, <2% Mn, <1% Si, <0.045% P, <0.03% S
    That's a 2.5% variance on carbon, a whopping 4% variance on Nickel.  So yeah, we're dealing with potentially very different TCR curves on any steel it seems like.

    I think the solution is we need better TCR curves.  My SS build seems to read quite 
    consistently.  It has a very regular climb in resistance as it's heat goes up.  So I just need to correct the values.  I wonder if I could contact the vendor I got the SS from for a more specific data sheet on what it's composition is.
  3. Did you try and do a dry cotton test?  Even if I turn mine way down below 420 (normal cotton browning) it still burns the cotton.

    I've been having similar issues with mine.  Though, unlike yours, it's not a good vape.  What I've found is I have to lock my resistance about 0.03 or so below what it's reading, or it gets way too hot.  So hot my cotton bursts into flames.
    I'm hoping this can be worked out in a firmware update, as SS is really the reason I bought this mod.  I understand the limitations and difficulty of TC at such a low variance, but it seems WAY off as it is.
    I don't know if this is a good place to post this, but I'm hoping we could get a discussion going.  There's almost no info I can find on SS TC usage and I'd really like to get it running reliably, without force offsetting ohms.
