Click once to enter the menu. There you can navigate by clicking
through the menu items. After a short wait at the desired menu item
you will be able to change the values by further clicking.
Power Up and Power Down
(Change Power)
Power Up gradually increases the power up to the set power limit
Power Down decreases the power.
Factory setting 10W
The power limit value is set in the extended functions submenu
‘Temp Menu’ and provides a power limit for less powerful atomizers
or a desired power limit.

03 MAIN MENU
Temperature Up and Temperature Down
(Temperature Adjustment)
These menu items are visible only when the temperature control
is enabled (see Mode menu).
The menu items allow you to set the maximum temperature for tem-
perature controlled vaping in 5 ° C increments from 120 ° C to 280 °
C (or 250 ° F - 540 ° F). For precise control you need the atomizer to
be at room temperature (about 20 ° C) Calibration (Calibr). For this
purpose a suitable wire with a high temperature coefficient is nee-
ded. Enter the temperature coefficient of the wire in the Extended
Functions submenu> Temp menu> Temp Cof.
Factory setting: 190 ° C
Mode
The PIPELINE PRO 2 PLUS provides 5 different modes
that can be selected in this menu
Power (VW), TmpCtrl (Temperature-Controlled vaping), PowerHP (VW
with Heat Protection activated), PowerBO (VW with Power Boost acti-
vated), and Bypass (unregulated mode, electronic overload protec-
tion). You can disable the „Expert Mode“ in the extended functions
menu (> System menu) PowerHP, PowerBO and Bypass disable.
If you select temperature controlled vaping (TmpCtrl), after
2 seconds the display will show „Wire320“ on the top line.
There you can choose a suitable wire for temperature controlled
vaping. 320 stands for the set temperature coefficient of the wire.
This varies on the top line according to the type of wire selected.
Choose from the following types of wire:
If you select „Other“, you must manually enter the temperature
coefficient of the wire in the extended functions menu (>Temp
Menu>Temp Cof).
Factory setting: Power
Switching Off the PIPELINE PRO 2 PLUS
In addition to the auto-shutdown the user can turn off the power
manually. We recommend the unit is switched off before changing
the battery, only then are the statistics stored, otherwise the changes
since the last save will be lost by removing the battery.
Extended Functions Menu
The „Extended Functions“ menu has 3 sub-menus:
- Temp Menu> Settings for the coil
- System Menu> Settings to customize the PIPELINE PRO 2 PLUS
- Info Menu> Statistical display
Calibration
(Manual Coil Temperature Calibration)
These menu items are visible only when the temperature control is
enabled (see Mode menu). The calibration measures the coil
resistance as a reference value for the temperature control, this
should only be done at room temperature (20 ° C). The calibration
is a process with 3 steps: Init, Confirm and Process. Each of these 3
steps must be confirmed by pressing the button, so that the
calibration is actually executed. We recommend heating the coil to
the “evaporation phase“ a second time to calibrate , since the
resistance of the wire may vary.
Coil resistance and temperature
In this menu item, the resistance (R) of the coil is shown.
The display ranges from 0.0Ω to 9.90Ω.
When temperature controlled vaping is enabled,
the actual temperature of the heating coil is also displayed (T).
Battery Status
The „Battery Status“ shows the battery voltage with low current drain
(Bat) and the battery voltage under load of the atomizer used (BatL).
If the difference between the two values shows a strong drop in the
voltage this is an indication of a low battery or contact problems.

05 DISPLAY OPERATION
09 BASICS OF TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED VAPING
Temperature controlled vaping is a complex issue. We would like
to try to explain to you some important basics in order to avoid
problems.
Why temperature controlled vaping?
The food flavourings contained in e-Liquids develop different
flavours at different temperatures. You can imagine it as cold or
lukewarm cola. The taste will vary depending on the
temperature of the beverage.

Dry Hit
A „Dry Hit“ refers to bad or nonexistent liquid flow to the heating coil
which will cause a very unpleasant taste.
Wire types
The thickness of the wire determines how quickly the coil reaches
the set temperature. You can compensate for the deficiency of a
sluggish coil with higher power, but this also increases the power
consumption.
Also you will require different wire for different types of atomizer
for example a Dripper has a different process. Changing your wick
material often will require a firmer wire. The Dicodes wire Resistherm
NiFe30 is much more stable than the well known temperature-
controlled vaping nickel wire Ni200.
The PIPELINE PRO 2 PLUS can use any wire with a high temperature
coefficient by adjusting the
temperature coefficient.
Please do not forget to enter it in the extended functions menu
(Temp Menu> Temp COF).
Temperature control
Depending on the setting will determine a temperature control or a
temperature limit.
If the power is set low with good liquid flow but does not reach the
selected temperature, the PIPELINE PRO 2 PLUS limits the temperature
to avoid a dry hit. If the power is set high and the selected
temperature is reached, the PIPELINE PRO 2 PLUS adjusts power to
maintain a stable temperature.
Care must be taken when inserting the battery into the
PIPELINE PRO 2 PLUS. Hold the device at a slight angle and carefully
insert the battery (positive terminal first).

10 NOTES
BATTERY RECYCLING
09 BASICS OF TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED VAPING
It is now also known that high temperatures may cause undesirable
side effects.
With a functioning temperature controlled setup dry hits are
effectively excluded. So you can use an atomizer without a window
to the last drop of liquid.
To use the temperature control, you need an atomizer with a
heating wire, which has a high temperature coefficient
(we recommend the Dicodes wire Resistherm NiFe30).
Due to the high temperature coefficient, the resistance of the wire is
increased as soon as the coil is heated. It is necessary for the
atomizer to be at room temperature to calibrate, so that on the basis
of resistance changes the PIPELINE PRO 2 PLUS can determine the
temperature of the heating coil.
Please ensure that the wraps of the coil do not touch and the
contacts of the 510 port and within the atomizer used are clean.
Corrosion or contamination of a contact area can lead to low
resistance variations, which are then erroneously interpreted by the
electronics as temperature changes. Therefore, all contacts should
be cleaned regularly with alcohol.
With the PIPELINE PRO 2 PLUS you can find the optimum temperature
and thus the optimum flavour.
TERMS
Temperature Coefficient
This value describes how much the resistance of the
heating wire changes with increasing or decreasing temperature.
Calibration
During calibration, the zero point of the measurement is accurately
determined. As with a speedometer in a car, when at rest it must
show 0 mph. If the calibration is not carefully carried out a reliable
measurement of the temperature is impossible.
The PIPELINE PRO 2 PLUS has automatic or manual calibration.
We recommend calibrating the coil manually. It is important that the
atomizer is at room temperature at the time of calibration (eg. 20 ° C).
We recommend heating the coil to the “evaporation phase“ a
second time to calibrate, since the resistance of the wire may vary.
Caution: When auto-calibrating, make sure to wait a few minutes
before changing the battery so that the atomizer cools.
