Non-TC modes

[Llama]

Now we have two ways to use VW mode: setting the temperature to OFF, or using a non TC material. I am usually doing the former, as it shows watts on the main screen, and I noticed so far is that it's possible to use a pre-heat with the "temperature OFF" method, but not with the material one.

I was wondering if there was any other difference between thoses two ways.

Can you explain using preheat with temp off in greater detail?

I don't use pre-heat so maybe I'm wrong, but at least I noticed that when you set a TC material, and select "Off" for the temperature in escribe, it still shows the preheat settings, while it disapears when selecting a non-TC material.

I believe they work the same as preheat needs temp sensing and doesn't even get used until the board is sure you have a temp sensing coil fitted.  The non temp sensing wire is a new feature and it is probably that they didn't get time to hide the preheat settings when you click off.

I for one would love to see a preheat for non-TC modes. Have it as a percentage of set wattage (I.e. 5, 10, 20% boost etc). ProVape and YiHi are doing it, so I would think that the most advanced board out there should be doing it as well.

I feel like my VS 200 kinda does preheat in wattage mode. I only use wattage on mine and every time I fire it the wattage jumps to about 70% then 100%. I've got it set at 133watts and it jumps to 96.7watts for a split second before getting to 133.
