Well my Ti has arrived and it's no better on the VTC than Ni 200 is for TC operation. One bonus of the Ti is one can make normal sized
coils that actually fit in to most RTA's.
So Ti in Ti mode doesn't work properly, still instant TP.
I put a 0.4 ohm coil in the Origen Dripper which works perfectly on the IPV D2. What is the sacred protocol of sequences to get that running under Ni mode on the VTC?
Clear all setting on the VTC and unlock the resistances.
Install the Ti atty, switch over to Ni mode, lock the resistance and set temp to 100F?
Is that correct?
Local B&M Update:
I was over to the B&M last night on the way home to discuss the problems again with the store manager, seems they will only exchange for a similar product, not a substitute or refund. Told him that they all have this issue and I am not interested in the same problems. I am not liking their policy on returns and might just have to reconsider purchasing there.
He said that he does not see this issue with his VTC. Then added that he only runs it with Kanthal... Told him Kanthal works perfectly, and if it was just a matter of the temperature on the VTC being low and one had to run it at 450F instead of 420F then that would not be a problem. It just totally bags out when the TP problem hits.
So he will check with his supplier to see if there are any reports of issues and also check with the owner about a possible exchange for an IPV D2. Told him I really liked the VTC aesthetics and if it was just a matter of a firmware fix, I could possibly wait, but how long? I don't want to exchange it because I don't like it, it just doesn't work properly. Also informed him about the mounting numbers of users in this thread with issues and that I'd check back next week with them.
