Glad to hear your liking your little gold brick. And yes, I've noticed there are tips and tricks to work around that pulsing temp protection. Great little, heavy, piece isn't it? What do you like most and least about it?

Haven't found any "leasts" yet, cause its worked solidly....except maybe the finger print magnet nature of the brass. Most.... Aside from the looks, which is why I bought it, the next biggest thing is thread adjustable tcr so I can run Ti. The larger screen is nice...seems to have good battery life for 1 18650 (more then my arctic dolphin, at least on par with my invader mini if not more).
Question, does your battery door have posts that hold it in place? I almost don't even need the screws.
Yea mine does. When I first got it I would have a somewhat difficult time getting the door off because with the pegs on mine you have to lift straight up or it gets stuck. However, over time, the pegs have worn a bit and it's slightly looser. I only use the top screw. Holds it tight.
That NP setting is the bees knees. Here's something for you to play around with, set your NP to 10 and throw on a kanthal build or coil. It's kinda cool and funny how the device reacts.

So I tried that.... The only kanthal build I had was a dual Clapton on my dark horse RDA....it tried to use tc, but read it at 70 degrees and kept bumping the voltage up.... It actually hit pretty hard

Yea dual claptons are a pretty chunky set of coils. Whenever you get a chance build a simple .5 kanthal with 24-26 gauge. It's neat to see the difference in TCR in wires and how the Nebby handles them. Have you taken it out of the house yet?So I tried that....

My local brick and mortar price gouges everything. They sold me my first mod, Kanger Evod clearo and a 650mah battery with a USB charger cable and wall adapter for $60. Afterwards I found out I could buy that exact same set up with an extra clearo, battery and coils for $30 online. I haven't dealt with them since. And they're the only shop within 50 miles of me.Once
To show it off at my local shop
I paid $70.00 from a US seller versus waiting forever to get one from FT -- its spot on (I got the black one) -- love the chip and purity settings. Not a fan of their logo on it, but a vinyl wrap will take care of that. Even though I use Ni200 for TC coils, the purity settings is what the DNA40 chip is lacking. If I do use Nichrome or Titanium it allows for performance tweaks. I'm now looking at Focalecig.com at an SXK 60w VF clone just because I like the Nebula so much. 1 battery is not my fav, but it charges up on the work PC's USB between breaks And its square, which prevents rolling and falling off my desk. It was this or the Sigelei 75w TC mod and I liked the looks of this more. Happy I got it.

Plus, SXK's machine work is AMAZING. 510 threads like butter unlike the iPV4 sitting in a drawer since I got the Nebula LOL
Might as well continue to monopolize this thread. When I'm using a kanthal build or pre made kanthal coil on my Nebby I noticed that it doesn't kick out of TC. I can manually take it out of TC but found that I really don't have to. There's no change in the way the mod fires the kanthal in or out of TC. I'm seriously considering the Smok TFV4, I think that tank would be a great fit for my Nebby.

Glad to hear you like yer Nebula. I have the brass one and noticed that the etching on it feels akin to sandpaper. Totally agree with your assessment of NP. If my DNA mods had that adjustment it be a nice little bonus. I have gotten used to just adjusting the temp way down for my Ti builds. Battery life on the Nebula is average, IMO. Does yours pulse power when it hits Temperature Protected? Like a choppy vape?
Since I started using Ni200 wire and selected 97 for the purity, I've had NO pulsing. Before I had it at 70 and it pulsed a LOT. Lightning Vapes NI200 soft wire in 28g is a perfect match for the Nebby
I was using Nickel wire from my local B&M and when I had it at 90+ for purity, everything tasted funky or burnt. Then I'd turn it down to 60-70 and the Nebula started that weird pulsing bit. I had a small bit of the Ni200 left over, used that, and it stopped. You might get the GCT Smok tank that uses VCT coils -- Smok makes TC replacement coils. Have heard good things even though Im not too keen on its looks.
I'm going to have to experiment with the NP setting a little more. I'm just thinking if you go too far above nickel's TCR you'll start getting burnt hits and burning you cotton. Nickel usually has a TCR value of 70, or round about. I'm going to set the temp to 420° F and adjust the NP setting up until the cotton just starts to Brown and write that NP setting value on the spool of ni ni200 wire I got. Then do the same with the spider silk Ti wire I have also.
Let us know what you find..... Someday I'll do the same, since diff. vendors wire may vary
I'll be picking up some nevr-dull soon.... It's what I used in the service to polish brass, works well. Won't stop smudging, but will clean it up nice after

Yep,then follow it up with Renaissance Wax and you won't have to maintain it again for a few months.I'll be picking up some nevr-dull soon.... It's what I used in the service to polish brass, works well. Won't stop smudging, but will clean it up nice after
