dicodes Dani Box Micro User manual

01 dicodes Dani Box Micro
The is an electronically controlled mod to be used with various
atomizers of different sizes and diameters of 23mm and smaller.
The outside dimensions of the box are about 23.2x36.7x75.6 mm.
The Dani Box Micro is powered by one battery of size 18650 and can deliver a maximum
power of 80Watts to the atomizer’s coil.
It is equipped with a 0.91” OLED display on the front side between the top fire button
and the plus/minus or up/down buttons for menu navigation and value adjustment.
By means of a sophisticated menu structure, the user can adjust all main parameters,
as well as all kinds of individual preference settings.
The body is manufactured from high quality anodised aluminum and is offered in several
colors. The head and bottom pieces are made of solid stainless steel with a brushed
surface finish.
Electrically, the Mirco allows vaping with up to 80W and, beside 4 different operation
modes, provides a temperature controlled vaping mode, using many different kinds of
wire-materials ( , nickel, titanium, stainless steel and others).
By means of a charging station (to be purchased separately), the battery inserted can
be charged inside the mod with typically 1A charging current.
Beside this option, the Dani Box Micro is equipped with an USB-C port and an on-chip
charger circuit, which is capable of charging the battery with up to about 2A.
The Dani Box Micro provides several safety-features referring to its high power capability.
Beside the limitation of the output current to 22A and output voltage to 11V, it continously
checks the input voltage and current and limits the output power accordingly, to
always keep the system in a safe condition.
As part of this safety concept, the system’s source resistance is determined, i.e. the
combined resistance of the battery, contacts and internal wiring. Please see chapter 3
for further information.

Changing the Power Setting / Wrap around / Power in Bypass and Temp-Control
05 Main Menu (Page 1)
In the Power menu the power setting can be changed by means of the up
and down buttons up to the Power-Limit (PLim) value or down to 5W
respectively. If the wrap-around (parameter “Wrap Mode” in EF-Menu) is
activated, the setting rolls over at the PLim/5W border.
With temperature controlled vaping activated, the power setting is the power limit for the temperature
regulator. If the power level is smaller than the value needed to achieve the selected temperature, the
operation changes from a temperature regulator to a temperature limiter. If the power level is sufficiently
high, it sets the heating up speed of the coil until the set-point temperature is reached.
There are several conditions, where the output power is limited and the adjusted power is not applied to the
coil. For further information, see below “notes to very high power vaping and power limitation” and the
additional explanations for the parameter Ubat,min in the extended functions menu.
In the operation mode “Bypass” (mechanical mod), changing the power setting is not available, because the
power is defined by the battery voltage and coil resistance. The menu “Power” is not displayed in this case,
but the value displayed during and after the vape shows the actual power output to the coil.
Switching On/Off, Key Locking and Menu-Operation
The Dani Box Micro has three buttons: One bigger button as the fire and
enter button below the stainless steel head-piece at the front side of the body
and up/down buttons below the display-screen for navigating and changing
values. The mod is switched on by shortly pressing any button 5 times in case
it has been switched off actively. The display shows “ ”.
For switching off the mod, the fire button has to be pressed
shortly 5times => the mod displays “Bye..” and switches off shortly afterwards.
Important Note: The dicodes boxmods differentiate between
and the after the switch-off-time.
- When the device was switched off driven by the automatic timer, it will
be on and entering the menu by clicking “MenuOn Click” times “up” or “down”
or by pressing the fire button longer than about 0.2seconds for immediate
vaping. I.e. the user can vape immediately, even when the unit was completely
powered down.
- When the device was actively switch off, it can only be switched on again by
clicking any button 5 times.

active switch off
automatic switch off
By means of the upper and lower buttons it is possible to navigate through the menu, as well as to increase
and decrease values of a parameter after a short waiting, i.e. until the value is displayed inverted (black on
white). The waiting time from navigation mode to the entry mode is adjustable by means of the parameter
“Click Speed” in the extended functions menu (see below). It is also possible to use the Fire-button as
“Enter” and “Escape” by shortly (!!) pressing it. Longer pressing the fire button aborts entry and activates
power output (vaping).
The Power-Limit value is adjusted in the Extended Functions Sub-Menu “Heater” and provides a protection
feature for atomizers which are not prepared for high wattage or to reduce the power range intentionally.
The wattage step size is 0.5 Watt below 30W and 1W above.
To avoid an unintended change of settings, for example during transportation in a pocket, the up/down
buttons can be locked by pressing both buttons simultaneously: “Key Lock” is displayed. To unlock the
buttons, again both buttons need to be pressed at the same time, indicated by “Key UnLock” shown on
the display. Note, that it is always possible to fire! Locking just avoids changing values.
When wrap-
around is disabled, further increase or decrease is blocked at the borders.

Coil Resistance and Coil Temperature

only displayed if temperature controlled vaping is
selected
Manual Coil Temperature Calibration
The Temperature Up/Down menu sets the setpoint for the coil temperature during vaping. The temperature
setpoint can be selected from 120°C to 280°C (250°F- 540°F) in steps of 5°C (10°F). To achieve a high precision
temperature control, a correctly performed reference measurement (TempCal Init) is mandatory, see next item.
The temperature calibration measures the coil resistance at room temperature (20°C) as the reference
for temperature controlled vaping. This, together with the wire’s temperature coefficient enables the device
to calculate the coil’s temperature. The calibration must be confirmed in a second step to avoid accidential
activation. After confirmation the display shows “process” until the calibration is completed. It is extremely
important to understand, that, if the calibration is performed at a temperature other than 20°C, the control
will regulate a constant temperature, but with an offset deviation. So take the ambient temperature during
the temperature adjustment into account. Similiar, if a wrong temperature coefficient was adjusted, the
actual temperature might deviate dramatically from the set-point (here it is a factor and not an offset).
Always perform a calibration, when a new atomizer is attached, even if it is made from the same coil
material.
In TC-mode, if the display does not show 20°C after calibration, even with a cooled down atomizer, we
recommed to perform the calibration again.
Note that for coils with very low resistance, like Nickel-coils, or with low temperature coefficient, like
stainless steel coils, a slight mechanical rearrangement (tightening the atomizer) can lead to drastical
changes in the temperature control due to the change of contact resistances. We therefore recommend
to use other than Nickel coils, e.g. The NiFe30 (RESISTHERM) wire from dicodes.
Also note, that when the device shows very high or very low temperatures the measured resistance
deviates a lot from the stored calibration value. This is not a fault of the mod. Check the contacts and
atomizer connection, then.
Note that the display will be continously updated, if the plus or minus button is kept pressed after
the values have been highlighted (or inverted). This can help during problem diagnoses .

Battery Status
Every battery has an inner resistance. This resistance depends on its
construction and chemistry. As a rule of thumb: The higher the capacity
the higher the inner resistance and vice versa.
The Dani Box Micro has an additional feature supporting the user to evaluate the quality of the battery
and the system contacts on the battery side. This feature is gaining importance especially when vaping
at very high powers, i.e. between about 50-80W:
In the menu there is the display item of Rb (Resistance battery = total resistance at battery side) and dU
(delta Voltage = voltage drop or difference of voltage without and with current drained during vape).
Note “U” is the SI unit symbol of a voltage.
At high power, the current drained from a battery will lead to a voltage drop at the systems
source resistance. The by far biggest part of the
Please keep this always in mind.
The diagram below shows the voltage drop dU depending on the source resistance Rb based on a
battery fully charged to 4.2V. When the battery is not fully charged the drop will increase even more,
because of the increasing current needed to provide the same output power.

resistance
Commonly used batteries of 18650 size have inner resistances of about 18m up to 40m . Therefore,
the voltage at it’s contacts always drops when current is drained. The more current is drained, the higher
the drop will be. The typical contact and wiring resistance of the Dani Box Micro sums up to about 6m .
The Dani Box Micro always shows the voltage with and without current drained at the right corner in the
bottom line of the screen (”V3.70/4.15” in the picture here). The lower value is the one measured at the
end of the last vape, the higher one is the idle voltage.

When vaping at high power it is strongly recommended that only the best in class batteries are used and
that all contacts are kept clean.
The box is equipped with different kinds of power reduction mechanisms to keep the operation in a safe
region for the battery and the electronic. If the power is reduced, the actual power output is displayed
instead of the setpoint.
1. The output current is limited to 22A: When the atomizer or coil resistance is comparably low and when
the power is set to high values, the actual output power will be limited according to the formula
Example: Rcoil=0.12 => Pout,max= (22A)²*0.12 = 58.8W, regardless of the power setting (unless
it is lower than 59W)
The limitation works dynamically, i.e. if the wire changed (e.g. a TC-wire), the limitation will
adapt to this. During limitation the display shows a at the position of the battery voltage
display.
2. The output voltage is limited to 11V: When the atomizer or coil resistance is high, power is limited
according to
Example: Rcoil=1.8 => Pout,max=(11V)²/1.8 = 67.2W
The limitation works dynamically. For example when using a TC-wire the initial power can be very high and
as soon as the wire is hot, the power will be reduced. During limitation the display shows a
3. The output power is limited if the source resistance Rb (battery inner resistance including contact
resistances and internal wiring) is higher than 36m During limitation the display shows a
4. The output power is reduced, when the battery voltage drops to a value dependent of parameter
Ubat,min (range 2.5 to 3.0V) according to the formula
Pout,max= the lower of [80W and 10W+(UbL-Ubat,min)*10W/0.1V]
Example: Ubat,min=2.5V, UbL=3.15V (battery voltage including drop during power output)
=> Pout,max = 10W+ (3.15-2.5)V*10W/0.1V = 75W
Note that the power is less reduced, when the battery inner resistance is low. Also note that power is
reduced only, if the battery voltage drops below 3.2V (at Ubat,min=2.5V).
During limitation, the display shows a
Always keep in mind that 80W taken even from a high drain battery will
create power losses in the batteries inner resistance as well as at all mechanical contacts, which finally
will reduce the total vape time and lead to volt drop. The power-losses inside the battery can be significant

Heater Control (Operation modes)
The mod can be used in up to 5 operation modes. The mode can be selected in this menu:
The default operation is either power (0) or temperature controlled vaping (1).
With the “Expert Mode” (Extended Functions Mod-Menu) enabled, additional operation modes are
Heater Protection (2), P and Bypass (4, mechanical mod).
With Expert Mode disabled, the menu options 2..4 are masked out.
ower Boost (3),
0. Power Mode
In the power operation mode the wattage selected in the power setting
menu is applied to the coil, unless there is a power limitation due to a
condition described above under “notes to very high power vaping”.
For example, with a coil resistance of 2 Ohms and a power setting of 80W, the required voltage at the coil
is 12.6V. So with 2 Ohms the maximum wattage is 60.5W ((11V)²/2R=60.5W).
Or, if the coil resistance is 0.1 Ohm the maximum power is 48.4W, because (22A)²*0.1Ohm=48.4W.
As can be seen from the examples, with high coil resistance the power is limited by the maximum voltage
of 11V and with low resistances by the maximum current of 22A. The fact is also reflected in the feature
list: A power of 80W is guaranteed from 0.17 to 1.5 Ohms. (Resistances of 0.05 to 5 Ohms are possible,
but with a reduced power).
1. Temperature controlled vaping
In this mode the mod will regulate the temperature of the coil to the pre-set
value,except the power setting is too low to achieve the temperature. So
please note to adjust the power setting to a value high enough, if you choose
temperature controlled vaping. Otherwise the temperature regulation changes
to a temperature limitation mode.
When HCtrl is set to TmpCtrl, the menu directly jumps to the selection of the
wire type. Here the user can select between dicodes-wire (NiFe30),
Nickel 200 (Ni), Titanium (Ti), several sorts of stainless steel, NiFe48 and
“Other”. With “Other” selected, the temperature coefficient defined in the
Extended Functions / Heater Menu under item “Temp. Cof” is used. The value
of the selected coefficient is displayed behind “Wire”.
If you use the dicodes wire (RESISTHERM) it is guaranteed that the wire will always have the same
coefficient, because the wire was especially designed for temperature regulation purposes. The regulation
accuracy is best then, as the combination of resistivity and high coefficient is very good.
Note for using Nickel wire: Nickel has a high and always precise temperature coefficient (Ni200). But
Nickel is not so easy to handle, because it is quite soft and it leads to very low resistance coils, because
of it’s high conductivity. For the regulation accuracy smallest changes of contact resistances due to atomizer
movements (tightening) or mechanical thermal elongations lead to poor regulation accuracy.
…
For commonly used wires, the predefined coefficents are: NiFe30=320, Nickel200=620, Titanium=350,
SS304=105, SS316=88, SS316L=92 and NiFe48=480. Note that there are different alloys for Titanium
and Stainless Steel on the market, so the predefined values can deviate from the actual wire-value you use.
In these cases it is preferable to choose “Other” as the wire type and set the value of the wire in the
extended functions heater menu “TempCof”. The range for the coefficient is 050 to 650.

3. Power Boost Mode
The Power Boost Mode enables an initial short term high power pulse applied to the coil (boost). When in
Boost Mode, the power setting of boost appears in the main menu as well as in the Extended Functions /
Heater menu under “Bo Pwr”.
Besides 12 selectable initial boost times, the Dani Box Micro has a new feature called dynamic boost:
When “dyn” is selected for the boost time (”Bo Tim” in the Extended Functions /Heater menu) the selected
boost power is applied to the coil, when the fire- and plus-button are pressed simultaneously.

(only when Expert Mode =1)
2. Heater Protection Mode (only when Expert Mode=1)
The heater protection mode is a periodic interruption of the power applied to
the coil. The duration and the repetition rate of the interrupts is selected by
means of the parameter “Htr Prot” in the extended functions mod-menu.
The repeated power interrupt helps to avoid a break in liquid flow and thus
an increase in temperature.

The dynamic boost operation is illustrated on the top of the next page: Whenever the fire button and the
plus button are pressed at the same time, the boost power is selected and applied to the coil. Otherwise
just the selected power is applied.
Note that the maximum dynamic boost time is limited to 2 seconds! When 2 seconds elapse, only the power
is applied to the coil regardless of the plus button. All power limtations are active, also during the boost time.

Error Messages
If an error occurs, the mod directly jumps to the error menu and displays the
error number and a mnemonic (short-term) description.
The possible error messages are:
The Extended Functions Menu offers a lot of setting options of the device, to provide the highest possible
flexibility for the user to individually adjust it to whatever preferences. Normally, once the settings were
made, the user will need to change the parameter rarely. In order to keep the main menu as short as
possible, the extended functions menu was created.
The many options may frighten some of the users initially. But without the extended functions menu
the mod would not be able to address all different customer requirements. Please take a bit of time to
get familiar with the menu. We are sure, as soon as you have gained an overview, the individual setup
is a walk-over. See the next pages for a more detailed explanation of the Extended Functions Menu.

Vaping with a constant power setting. The selected power is applied to the coil, unless
the coil’s resistance affords a different power setting or power is limited due to other
reasons.
The power applied to the coil is calculated by a temperature controller which keeps the
coil’s temperature constant. Important to note: Set the correct temperature coefficient
and perform a calibration at room temp.
The coil is quickly heated up initially. Moreover an repetitive boost can be selected.
We recommend not to set the boost-power value too low but adjust a lower normal
power setting to limit the coils temperature rise.
The power applied to the coil is repeatedly interrupted to enable a liquid flow und thus to
limit the temperature.
The mod behaves like a mechanical mod, i.e. the battery voltage is directly applied to the coil.
This, with the restriction, that the maximum current is 22A. Note that the vape now depends
on the charging level of the battery, and the coil should not be too low in resistance as then
22A is the limiting factor. If the resistance is too low in Bypass-mode, Err8 LowR is displayed
and vaping is not possible.
The display mode switches on and off the dynamic display of several parameters
during and after the puff. The setting “cont” (continious) will display values during
and 4 seconds after the vape. With “post” the values are displayed only after the
puff and off disables the display.
The values shown depend on the operation mode: In temperature controlled mode, the parameters are
the temperature, coil resistance, temperature regulating power and a battery symbol.
For the modes power, boost and heater protection, the selected power (or limited power in case), the coil
resistance and the battery voltage are displayed. When Bypass mode is selected, the coil resistance and
the battery voltage dependent, measured power is displayed, as there is no fixed power setting in
Bypass mode.

06 Extended Functions Menu
The Extended Functions Menu has another sub-menu showing several
statistical values.
There are two types of value-counters, either resettable to zero or not.
The following statistical values are stored:
- Cycles Number of puffs. The counter can be reset to 0.
- Time The timespan during which power was applied to the coil,
i.e. vaping time.The counter can be reset to 0.
- TotCycl “Total Cycles” is the number of puffs throughout the entire
mod’s life. It cannot be reset.
- TotTime “Total Time” is the total time of vaping (not stand by) in
a format HHHH:MM that is 4 digits of hours and 2 for minutes.
It cannot be reset.
The menu item , i.e the resetting of the counters, is intentionally positioned
between resettable counters and those which cannot be reset. So it is easier to remember,
which are reset.
Reset Cntr
Additional Explanation to several menu items, page 3
With “Set Defaults” it is possible to reset all settings to the delivery status.
The reset is initiated by selecting the menu and pressing a button. To avoid
unintended resetting the user has to confirm the procedure by again pressing
Most of the defaults are listed in the overview diagram of the Extended Functions Menu.
Those settings missing there are:
Power:
Temperature:
Heater Control Mode:
Wire Type:
10W
210°C
0 (Power, normal VW)
NiFe (320)
the button when “confirm” is displayed. “Process” shows that the reset is performed.
The statistic counters are saved whenever the mod is automatically or manually switched off.
In contrast, if the battery is removed from the mod before switching off, the changes of the
counters since the last switching on are lost.
Charging the device
The device has two charging options:
The recommended charging mode is to use the built in USB-C connection to a readily available (wall-)
power-supply with USB-A output, with a minimum output current of 2Amps. Note that the USB-C port
on the Dani Box Micro is a charge only port.
The second option is to use the charging contact with the use of the CS1 charge station by dicodes.
The charge current of the CS1 depends on the contact resistance between device and station is typically
1A (2A maximum, limited by the CS1).

The recommended charging mode is to use the built in USB-C connection to a readily available (wall-)
power-supply with USB-A output, with a minimum output current of 2Amps. Note that the USB-C port

Use an adapter of USB-C to USB-A if your source has an USB-C output only.
The second option is to use the charging contact with the use of the CS1 charge station by dicodes.
The charge current of the CS1 depends on the contact resistance between device and station is typically
1A (2A maximum, limited by the CS1).
Always use the dedicated inlay for the Dani Box Micro, when using the CS1.
Important note: The Dani Box Micro is very light weight due its small dimensions. The weight might
be too low for a sufficently good contact to the spring pins of the CS1. We recommend to charge the
Dani Box Micro with an atomizer attached to the 510 connector to increase weight.

09 Remarks and Notes
Battery
Always use batteries with high drain or very high current capability, flat top, unprotect
from high quality manufacturers. Avoid to use no-name products. Using low quality
batteries will void the warranty. Insert the battery with the plus terminal in the direction
towards the atomizer and in angular position.
Electronic cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes are NOT healthy. But so far all studies indicate, that they are less
harmful compared to tobacco- cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes are an alternative to
tobacco-products, but should not be regarded as an dehabituation to smoking.
Electronic cigarettes are not suited for children and youngster below 18years of age,
non-smokers, pregnant women, persons with allergies against Nicotine, Propylene Glycol
and persons with cardiovascular disease. Selling to persons below 18years of age
prohibited!
