Ipvd2 tc mode question

[Chrispdx]

Ok I know. Total newbie here. Totally wish there was a sticky here on this.

Just put my nickel 0.15 coil in for my crown tank. Switched to tc mode. Now what? I know total newbie question.

So I guess I set my temp? And then it drops me into joule mode. I guess the higher the joule the more power I am using? Hmm. Really don't know.

So far I've run it low to prime the coils and they should be ready in the morning after one more ramp up session.

Seems like everyone recommend 400degrees and then the rest of the posts I looked at has stuff in terms of watts and not joules. So confused here.

Any info/teaching will be much appreciated. Ask me about mixing juice and I am all over it. Got enough knowledge to help a new person. Ask me about coils and ohms law and I am just not ready for building my own coils (that's much later down the road)

Joules will control the length of the ramp up. For with the Crown I use 45J and 500F, it's all subjective. Start low and work your way up.

Temperature controls how hot the vape will be. Joules controls how fast you will get there. Once you reach your set temperature the mod will throttle back the power to keep you there. I usually set my temperature 420-450F and joules 30-40. That's what I prefer, YMMV.
P(W) = E(J)/ t(s)
Since our mods don't know in advance how long we will be firing it, for our purposes, joule = the number of joules per second. Basically it will be the same as watts (for our purpose).

Example 30j for 1 second = 30 watts. I believe the way Yihi is using their joule setting is joules for 1 second which is another way of saying watts.

What's the point of ramp up?

If I have my temp set at 425, what is the difference and as well of benefit setting at 20joules vs 50joules if it stops you at a temp of 425?

I know so newbish. Thanks in advance for putting up with me.

A couple things come to mind.
1. Some people like it to start smooth and build, some want full bore immediately.
2. Depending on how your mod throttles down, it can be best to try and get the power just right. What I mean by that is some will pulse and to some people it's noticeable (they don't like it). Other mods don't (my DNA200's come to mind - DC-DC, not PWM)

The easiest way to explain it is like this:
In TC, Joules/Wattage = Ramp Time. The longer the coil stays in the "ramp up" the more smooth and consistent the vape will be. Once it hits Temp Protect, the mod will "pulse" (firing the battery on/off rapidly) to maintain that Temp. Pulsing gives a wavy kind of vape (just like if you were to tap the button on your mod really fast, it wouldn't give you a very good hit). If the Wattage is too low, the coils won't reach the Temperature you set either. So find the temp you like first, then bump up/fine tune the wattage and you'll be good to go

Hope that helps a bit

Yeah it helps. Still priming the coils so it will last awhile. That's the only down fall of uwell coils, takes a long time to get them up and running. Up side is that they last a long time.

So day I will move into building coils, just not ready for that.

Don't forget to hold the + and - buttons together to lock in the resistance before firing it up. That and making sure the mod and tank are at room temp before marrying the two are probably the most important parts to making it work right.
