I've been playing with temperature control on a Vaporesso Gen mod and Vapefly Mesh plus RDTA with a 0.27 Ohm 316 Stainless steel mesh, and have a few questions for those in the know, as Vaporesso's manuals are less than ideal;
I'd like to emulate the MTL flavour and throat hit that I get on this setup using pulse mode at 20 Watts, to which my initial research led me to the following settings;
A TCR of 100 for 316 Stainless Steel.
Power apparently is irrelevant, as the unit would be under temp control, (making me wonder why Vaporesso would include the option?), and;
A temperature of between 200 and 220 degrees C
The above was way off the mark, and I went digging, and came up with the following TCR studies for 316 Stainless, (note that it's dependent on temperature, unlike what "Steam Engine" publishes), as follows;
316 SS:
At 76.85°C the TCR is 0.0010012 (100 in Vaporesso speak)
At 226.85°C the TCR is 0.0009148 (91 in Vaporesso speak)
At 326.85°C the TCR is 0.0008703 (87 in Vaporesso speak)
As to Wattage, Google revealed a European forum entry that recommended a setting 20% higher than you would normally use on pulse, and;
Temperature recommended to be as low as practically possible ... to start low and increase as required, (remembering that this is tied into the TCR)
I also noticed that contrary to the consensus of the power setting being irrelevant, that is does in fact have a remarkable effect on the experience, to which the closest I can get to the aforementioned Pulse settings status quo is;
A TCR of 92
Power at 25W
Temperature of 110 degrees C
How far off the mark am I? and;
What should the the power and temperature be set at with relation to my pulse mode settings?
