Vapeman Steam Engine resistance

[Dubminer]

Hello,

         I just acquired one of these and am looking to see what my Mod resistance should be set at.It is currently set at O. I have searched but can't find anything about this.Thank you for any help in advance.

To set the mod resistance you need to run atomizer analyzer with as close to a "dead short" in the 510 connector as possible.  There are copper plugs available or an old atomizer base with the center pin soldered to the shell at the bottom will work as well.   Atomizer analyzer will display the resistance between the 510 and the board, plus whatever your "dead short" might add, typically under .001 ohms.  Enter that number in mod resistance.  It may be advantageous to add a little, for example if you read .004, set it to .006 to compensate for accumulating corrosion over time and inconsistencies that do occur.   Higher is safe.

Thank you for the reply. I understand that would be the most accurate way. On my DNA 60's i used what the DJSlabs guy recommended and was hoping somebody might have a resistance setting for this mod.

The problem is that at the level of resistance that is being worked at, even the slight variations from manufacturing, like slightly longer wire, quality of that, specific, piece of wire, quality of the soldering, not to mention the 510 connector, itself, all can make a difference in mod resistance.  To be accurate, the only way is to check each mod.  It's a shame manufacturers don't do that, but such is the world of profit and loss.

Thank you again,do you know a good place to buy a good calibration tool in the USA? I found one at smokefreemods but no idea about quality or trustworthyness?
