Ok, ive been doing this vaping thing for about 5 years now but im just now getting into the temp control game. I bought a vaporshark rDNA 40 last week and just want to know exactly how temp control works. I know how to adjust and all the basic stuff nickel wire etc. I just want to know the details.

Temp control help

From my understanding, and experience with my IPV4 is that the device measures the amount of energy going through the atty, and if it registers a sudden spike in voltage, it drops the power, for example, if your atomizer is running at 3.2 volts while fully juiced. You vape it, the juice starts to dry out, then the device recognizes that the voltage is changing and lowers the voltage in order not to burn the cotton. Keep in mind i am not a scientist engineer, this is just what I have read though other forums while figuring out how it works myself.
As the temperature increases in the Nickel coil head, so does the resistance of the coil. It's a linear relationship. The mod limits the temperature by reading the resistance of the coil constantly, when it begins to go up in resistance as it heats up as the wick dries out, the mod will then lower the wattage to maintain the set temperature.

I hate to embed and share one of phil's video's to answer your question but it is one of the most in depth videos of information regarding how temp control works on the DNA 40 boards. This is the first part, it's 30 minutes, the second part is an hour. I've watched and searched threw many a video on youtube looking for info on temp control and I am sure I am not alone...
Phil is a very good technical reviewer. I've watched his videos for years and I enjoy them,,,i just fall asleep watching them sometimes when I am tired because they are long. And you know what? I am glad they're long because I am grateful that someone takes the time to do all these tests on our gear in the depth he does and tries to break it down as simple as possible for the masses. He does a lot of hard work and is very fair handed about it for the most part and I recommend when you have a lot of free time skimming threw his library and if you're interested and see the evolution of vaping.
For someone vaping as long as you have you might enjoy skimming threw Grimm Green's Youtube channel is another good one for this,,,his is less technical and more brass tacks... for you it will be a trip down memory lane to the dark ages of vaping that so many of us wonder how the original old school vapers made it threw (my hat's off to you for making it too by the way,) so watch what you have time for accordingly. You probably know all this but I am writing out for any new vapor that comes across this thread as a recommendation source for vape knowledge of things technical and of things past.
When you have the time or if you can just listen to it in the background while you're doing other things on line and then when he says something that catches your ear then rewatch that part of the video again is what I recommend doing. He does the best job as anyone can to make it as simple to understand how temperature limiting works in the DNA 40 chip.
I wish I could give a more simple and short answer, but if you really want to know everything there is to know worth knowing about the chipset in your mod then these videos are a good place to start
Hope this helps...good luck and have fun with the new mod...I love my vaporsharks and can't wait till I can get another one
