Settings

[iVape]

Looking to mimic the settings from kathal to TC. My regular setup was 26awg kanthal .6 micro coil wrapped like 5/6 around a 2.4mm.

I now have the ipV5 with Ti01 wire. Im looking for the correct setting in joules mode to mimic it. The coil i have is a 5/6 spaced wrap around a 3mm. It came out to .32. Im not expecting anyone to know this off the cuff just maybe someone who had a similar setup.

Without telling us at what wattage you vaped your Kanthal build we have no way of knowing what to suggest.

I'll tell you my settings for TC though. I use 28ga SS430, dual coil and my builds ohm out at .42-.43 ohms. I usually set my temperature to 420F and my wattage between 30-40 watts. My coils are low mass so I don't need a lot of power to get them up to temperature. My DNA200 mods also have preheat that you can set (I usually use about double my wattage for 1 second with a medium punch.

TC works by your mod looking at the resistance of your coil at room temperatures and then using the TCR to know how high the resistance should rise to get you at your set temperature. Once there the mod will vary power to keep you there.

For our purposes think of Joules like you would watts. I'd start at around 420F and 30-40 Joules and see how you like it.

PS The temperature setting determines how hot your vape will be.
The Joule setting determines how fast it will get there. The higher mass of your coil(s), the higher you need to set your Joules (more metal, more power). Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks. I knew there was something I forgot. I would normally go at 18-20 wats. Now I have this set to 18J and 393F. Does it make any sense? Im really looking to get the same vape.

I don't have an IPV5 so I'm not sure how it lets you know if you are reaching your set temperature. On my DNA200's the temperature counts up as you are taking a vape. When I get to my set temperature - Temperature Protect flashes 3 times (it's not a warning, just the mod letting me know it reached my set temperature and backed off the power to keep me there).

The reason I mentioned that is if you're not reaching your set temperature, you would want to increase your Joules. If you are reaching your set temperature and the vape isn't warm enough, you would increase your temperature.

Just think of it like this:
Temperature controls how hot your vape gets.
Joules controls how quick your vape will reach your set temperature.
