That could explain it. Where are getting your TCR from ?
Thanks.

@Jake67 , @jazzvaper is correct. 0.0052 which I used last night doing what you are experimenting with the different modes. My results were like yours even at 0.0052. In the ni200 mode the vape was noticeable better to me(richer & warmer).
From @balazsk in the "TC Beyond Ni 200" thread as follows:
Stainless steel types:
317: 0.000875
316: 0.000915
304: 0.00105
430: 0.00138
410: 0.00155 - this value hasn't been verified yet
NiFe alloys:
Pernifer36(Invar): 0.00117
Resistherm(Dicodes): 0.0032
Nifethal52(NiFe48 at Zivipf): 0.00405
Nifethal70(NiFe30 at Zivipf): 0.00506
Ni200: 0.0052 (20°C-200°C)
Titanium #1: 0.0035
(Niobium: 0.0028 - not verified)

Thanks. I try that. I switched it now but can't reset the resistance I've been vaping and the coil is hot.
Thank you again

But which SS is best and contact or spaced coils. I see Vape Mesh has 316L and Unkamen is going to have 317L which seems to be quite a bit higher resistance. What is the one most people use?
You can also get some from Steam Engine Wire Wizard
IDK if it is just my mind or not but when I get the resistance and put in the CompTemp I then hit the fire button before the screen shuts itself off and it seems to work better when I go to vape it then if I just wait till the screen goes off itself. I have just been using the setting of 25 which seems to work fine.
So which type of coil and how well does the TC work with SS. I also see that 316L and 317L are pretty close in resistance on an 8 wrap contact coil at 3mm. About .6ohms
Let's hope that folks don't become DOGMATIC about the different wires.
Anyone who answers that Q without direct experience is doing a disservice to the community.
One might use 316L for one reason, 316 for another, 430 for another, or 410...
If you want to substitute information for experience read the entire "TC Beyond Ni 200" thread.
@jazzvaper I have a question, the TCR is the same at any resistance. I just tried to switch to manual setting set for .00520and hit the fire button. Vape isn't as full as in the NI preset. 400 degrees temp comp @ 24
I'm really confused here any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would use the "fixed" setting for "Nickel", not a specific TCR setting.
Why? I have a perverse belief that the fixed setting has more than one data point. Call me crazy.
Thank you. I appreciate your time and agree.
I upped the temp about 40 degrees and the vapor and flavor are as good as the fixed setting.
Interesting stuff.

@Jake67 I just figure out your problem/what you did.
If I use 0.00052 instead of 0.0052 I get "Dry Coil" and no vapor.
Do you see the difference? [emoji6] [emoji30] [emoji41]

Maybe they got the NI200 and Ti01 modes correct this time but the manual TCR setting is not.
I have been using Ti tonight & trying out the different settings. 'Ti mode' seems to be giving me a better vape than setting TCR to 0.00350. I can't tell as much of a difference with Ti as I did with ni200 though.
Well I was looking up the TCR on Ti01 and for 26awg it shows .003660 in Steam engine try that. So I guess that would be .00366 on SXM actually any gauge.NI200 shows .00608 That is if you trust wire wizard.

I'm finding that I have to raise the temp in higher in manual TCR as compared to the preset.
