Saionara
Temperature Control Addendum
This addendum to the Saionara Quick Start Guide introduces the
Temperature Control (TC) features.
WHAT IS TC?
Most regulated vape batteries (box mods) simply keep the amount of po er
that is being fed to the vape coil at a constant preset po er level, in atts or
volts, that you have selected on the box's control panel. Ho ever, some box
mods have a feature called Temperature Control or TC. With TC, a
microprocessor inside the mod is constantly measuring resistance changes in
the coil ire and constantly adjusting the po er to keep the coil near the
desired vaping temperature that you have chosen. The t o primary benefits
of TC are (1) cooler vapor and (2) longer coil life.
Since there is no temperature sensor in 510-based vape devices, the
temperature control feature depends on the coil ire having a very
predictable change in resistance as the coil's temperature changes. Some
materials, such as stainless steel and nichrome, are very good for this
purpose, hile some materials, such as Kanthal, are too unpredictable or
have too small of a resistance change to be useful for TC.
A fe examples of battery box mods ith TC modes that are Saionara
compatible are the eVic VTC, vT o, and Cuboid; Eleaf iStick Pico 75; Tesla
Stealth 40 TC; Innokin Cool Fire IV TC100.
WHICH SAIONARA COILS WORK WITH TC
The follo ing Saionara coils are compatible ith the TC modes on some box
mods:
* Stainless on Ceramic (SC): This coil is made from 316L stainless steel
ire. It is compatible ith most mods that offer a "SS" or "SS316L"
temperature control mode.
* (COMING SPRING 2017) Ceramic Donut (CD): This coil is made from
Nichrome ire embedded in a metallic ceramic disk. It is compatible
ith most mods that offer a "NI" or "NI200" temperature control mode.
Something to be a are of is that there's a bit of a delayed reaction ith
ceramic disks compared to open ire coils. Since the ire is embedded
inside a thick layer of ceramic, the ceramic disk takes a second or t o
longer than the ire to come up to full temperature, and the ceramic
stays hot for a fe seconds longer after the ire inside has started to
cool do n.
SETTING UP TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Setting up TC features is different for each kind of box mod, so
you'll need to consult your mod's instructions for specific details.
Generally, you'll need to set up the follo ing:
* If the mod has multiple regulation modes, s itch it to Temperature
Control (TC) mode.
* If the mod supports different kinds of ire for TC mode, select the ire
type that matches the coil you ill be using. For a stainless steel coil, the
ire type is usually called "SS" or "SS316L" on most mods. For ceramic
donut coils, the ire type is usually called "NI" or "NI200" on most mods.
Coil materials and TC modes are not interchangeable! For example,
running a stainless steel coil on the nichrome setting (or vice versa) does
not ork. Doing so could damage or burn out the coil.
* Set the desired vaping temperature on the mod. Many Sionara users
seem to like temperatures in the 320F-400F range. You can try different
temperatures to find out hat orks best for you.
* Some mods regulate by both attage AND temperature hen running in
Temperature Control mode. If this applies to your mod, then set the
attage to the middle of the recommended po er range for the coil you
ill be using. For example, the recommended po er range for the
Saionara's Stainless on Ceramic (SC) coil is 10-18 Watts, so about 14
Watts is a good value to try.
* Some mods have a "pre heat" or "pre boost" or "ramp up" feature that
runs the coil at a higher than normal attage for a fraction of a second to
bring the coil up to temperature very fast. If your mod has a separate
attage limit setting for this feature, set it near the maximum
recommended attage of the coil (for example, 18 Watts for the
stainless on ceramic coil) or if the lo est available setting on the mod is
higher than the recommended coil attage, then use the lo est
available setting on the mod. For example, on the Innokin Coolfire TC100
mod, 25 Watts is the lo est available setting for the "ramp up pre boost"
feature, so 25 Watts ould be the appropriate setting for that mod even
though the coil's rated maximum is 18 Watts. Since the higher attage is
only applied for a fraction of a second and only hen the coil is cold, the
momentary extra po er boost doesn't harm the coil even after many,
many uses.
* Some battery mods have custom temperature coefficient (TCR) or
custom temperature curve mode that can sometimes be used if the built-
in temperature control modes don't ork ell ith the kind of ire in a
particular coil. These custom settings are beyond the scope of this guide.
Please consult the instructions for your battery box mod for more details.
Once TC has been set up on the battery mod, the Saionara may be loaded and
operated as usual. If the mod flashes an error or s itches from TC mode back
to Wattage mode, the mod and coil may not be compatible ith each other in
TC mode. Please refer to your battery mod's instruction guide for more
information.
