    Silly question, but I’m fairly new to using replay and a 250c chipset. 
     

    how and where do you go to set your theme to show the max power?

     

    I have the mac program but it’s feature rich and hard to find. 

    When it comes to creating your own theme - or modifying an existing theme - it makes no difference whether the Theme Designer runs on Windows or Mac (I worked on Windows myself until half a year ago before I switched to Apple).

    It is actually too comprehensive to describe the necessary steps here, as there are too many variants on how this can be implemented.

    It is standard in my existing themes (in the download area) that the applied power is displayed after the puff in replay mode. By highlighting the displayed power, the maximum possible power is displayed and can also be adjusted. 

  2. Lange Version: 

    Die coil besitzt eine gewisse Trägheit beim Erhitzen - je dicker (und niederohmiger), desto träger. Du benötigst mehr Leistung um die Zieltemperatur zu erreichen, als diese zu halten. Mit "boost" stellst Du für einen kurzen Moment zu Beginn des Puffs mehr Leistung zur Verfügung. Problem: Wenn Du einen zu hohen Wert einstells, kann eine bereits erhitzte coils schnell mal die Watte verbrennen. 

    Wenn Du im Replay-Modus nach mehreren Puffs schließlich "Save" drückst, kann es sein, dass die zuvor eingestellte Leistung nicht ausreicht, um eine kalte coil gleich beim ersten Puff auf die abgespeicherte Temperatur (bzw. den abgespeicherten Widerstandswert während des Puffs) aufzuheizen. Mit "warmth" erlaubst Du dem mod, mehr Leistung abzugeben. Problem: Wenn Du einen zu hohen Wert einstellst, verbrennt die coil Dir schnell mal die Watte. 

    Lass Dich nicht irritieren, wenn ich ständig von Temperatur rede, obwohl "nur" mit Wattzahlen hantiert wird - es geht immer darum, die coil auf eine bestimmte Temperatur zu erhitzen, auch wenn diese nicht der direkte Regelfaktor ist. Der Replay-Modus orientiert sich an der Widerstandsänderung der coil, weshalb er nur mit temperatursensitiven coils funktionieren kann. 

    Bei "boost" und bei "warmth" ist die Schrittweite (1 bis 11) abhängig von der zugrundeliegenden Leistung. D. h. bei mehr Ausgangsleistung bedeutet jede Schrittweite jeweils mehr Leistungsplus, als bei einer geringeren Ausgangsleistung. 

    Eine Sonderform stellt "Preheat" bei temperatursensitiven coils (z. B. SS316) dar: diese Funktion ähnelt "boost", hat jedoch einige Eigenheiten, auf welche ich bei Bedarf gesondert eingehen würde. Hier eröffnen sich mit Custom-Themes weite (theoretische) Möglichkeiten, welche jedoch auch häufig missverstanden werden.

  3. something is going wrong here, because in the default theme replay can NOT be activated if "Watt" is NOT specified in the material selection. Or the other way around: If the material selection is "SS316" (for example), no replay is possible in the default theme.

    If "Watt" is selected, no temperature evaluation takes place.

  4. For example, if you set 30 watts and click "SAVE" after several puffs, the mod will need more power than 30 watts to reproduce the puff with a cold coil and/or more liquid. Due to the previous setting, however, the output power remains limited to 30 watts. This is where "warmth" comes into play and provides more power. The individual steps depend on the set wattage. I like to be in control myself and this function seems very unpredictable to me (!!!), so I modified my themes so that I can change the set (maximum) power directly also when replaying.

  5. There are no specifications as to how the so-called "user toggles" are to be used.

    Every theme author uses them for different things, so it makes sense to reset them before installing a new theme (I created a tool for this find-fix-problems).

    It also happens that conditions appear in a theme that are linked to a user toggle that is not set anywhere: many themes develop over a long period of time and not everything is always followed up, or certain fields are used in different themes and sometimes these conditions are very complex and an adaptation is neglected by the author. I am also affected by this, as I have developed both monolingual and bilingual themes. In my current theme there are always unused fragments of old versions - it's not nice and actually sloppy, but that's just the way it is.

    I am using Frank65's paranormal, Odin etc theme.

    As I suspected - Frank65's theme only shows the temperature if both a termp-sensitive material (e.g. SS316) is selected as material AND the chipset has also recognized the built-in coil as temp-sensitive. If this test is negative - which sometimes happens with complex coils - then the TC mode is not permitted in Frank's entire theme and "only" the watt display is displayed accordingly.
    And yes, it can happen that a coil that has already been set up in TC mode and used for a short time is no longer recognized as temp-sensitive after the next standby.

    The original stock theme does not carry out this test... If you switch to TC mode there (material e.g. SS316), the temperature is ALWAYS displayed. But since this makes little sense, many use the query for temp-sensing-material-detect. To my knowledge, Frank65 started doing this many years ago and many theme designers follow his basics (me too - many thanks to Frank's work at this point)

  7. I currently don't have access to my computer, so I can't send you screenshots of the required fields/settings. However, I have a fundamental understanding problem. We're specifically talking about temperature control and proper coils. I have to limit myself to the C-series chipsets because I only know them. Even with the weakest member of the family, the 75c (which in my opinion controls the cleanest), I reach the temperature in less than 1 second and also maintain it with a maximum deviation of +/- 10, depending on the basic power set. AND I have already wound very fat, sluggish coils - no problem with adjusted preheat parameters. When I read now that you had to increase the puff limit to 20 seconds, I assume that you are doing things with the chipset that it was never intended for.

    figured this would be the best place to post them but i will also share them not sure why anyone would want a Phoenix Box Mods theme on a non Phoenix mod.

    So we should have multiple threads then?
    So separately for each manufacturer - then I would have to, for example, post a theme for which I have a large number of manufacturer logos (with their permission!) ready in a corresponding number of separate forums?

  9. One more thing, since you're already dealing with Escribe:

    As long as you are not sure how the DNA chipset works, please avoid custom themes, which allow the material to be changed directly within the theme on the mod (not to be confused with changing the profile). With some, the clean separation of the material-specific settings is not clear enough, so that you can catch problems and possibly think of malfunctions in the DNA chipset.
    It is best to stay with the standard theme until you have mastered how it works. Later, the beautiful wide world of custom themes will be available to you.

    On the Crown 5 the coil burns through faster and with the Sigfried vaporizer it is similar that the wadding simply burns through.
    After 3 seconds, it works much better with the Sigfried that the wadding does not burn through.

    My question is is it possible to enter 3.5 seconds in the programme so that it saves them or does it stay like this?

    Burning cotton usually can be addressed by changing wattage and/or boost if vaping in wattage mode

    3.5 seconds would be perfect to tickle out a bit more flavour and unfold better and then let it cool down while pulling.
    But I'll keep an eye on it and set it to 4 seconds and try to work on the timing and release the fire button earlier.

    Hi - as has already been written: Limiting the puff time is the absolutely wrong way to prevent the cotton from burning.

    Think of this function more as a safety feature in case of unintentional actuation (e.g. in your pocket).

    Set the power to match the coil and your puff behavior. Or use a temp-sensing wire and TC mode or Replay. Then these problems will be a thing of the past.
