No, 200°F :/ . I used that settings because it was the first time I used TC, and o wanted to see at what temperature my cotton will burn.. So I start with the minimum..
I bought a VT mini a few hours ago. Mine came with version 2 firmware out of the box.
Compared to the evic VT, the mini works quite a bit better. I'll test it with titanium later to see how ti TC mode compares with the "full size" VT. My current go-to coil build has been a 316L stainless steel dual coil @ .23 ohms. SS TC mode works really well so far, the power throttling on the VTm is a lot more on-point than the VT. I felt the VT would kick in too soon and produce a weak vape. The internal ohm meter seems to be more accurate as well.
I think it is important for me to point out that my experience with the evic VT may have been colored by a faulty 510 positive pin (mine is not spring loaded, the pin is stuck @ the bottom of its travel, limiting which RDAs will work with it). The positive 510 on the VTm is spring loaded and self adjusts properly.
The updated screen layout is a definite improvement; my genes gave me with 50/20 vision, though. If I didn't have exceptional eyesight the tiny font size might bother me.
I think at this point the only advantage the VT has over the VTm is battery capacity, which is somewhat nullified by the VTm having a removable cell.
No buyers remorse so far.

to shed some light never attampt the dry cotton thing on th evic would not make sense
and will just fail...
it will temp protect and minimize thr dry hit but not the cotton test...never had a dry hit
but if you are trying to find your sweet spot
the best method ive used is set it to 75watts...@400f
then have a mirror ready,vape infront of jt,and look at the wattage and settings until you get the general temp and wattage that youd use..

But if you search on YouTube, there are many people doing the test (including pbusardo) and none of them burned like mine!
Hmm... If the TC is working, for what reason would this sort of test be destined to fail?
oh,did it ignite?
if you saw the cotton test of pbusardo on the evic
the evix failed as well on him
tc fails on the dry cotton test for some reason
not sure why...
but it works to prevent a dry hit thou
wattage is still supplied like 1-10watt range...even on a dry cotton,hence burning

If you see, at minute 26, his cotton had a descoloration and went black. Mine burned (like fire).
Thats the only thing that i didn 't. Its necessary?
yes its necessary to lock resistance...
as for it burning i am not sure have not tested
sorry mate but i dont see why you need to do the cotton test...
i put it thia ways
lets say it works,right?the temp set is burns is 400f
but thats too cold of a vape for me id still bump it up to my desired temp..
or too hot for mu taste i will still bump it down...
so far on all from 470-600f @75watts
settinganive done i have not experienced a single dry nasty hit thou...
so i think tc is still working as intended(no dry burns)
but of course its up to you all i am saying is cotton test is really use less on vaping..
btw if yours burned,that still should not happen...
cause mine on a fresh wick without juice,it still fires but hits temp protect

so i just did a dry burn test with my newest evic mini.
Tobh atty with a single 26awg nickel build coming out to .13 ohms. v1 cotton bacon
set it to 40w and 350 deg F.
Then threw it on my ipv4 at same wattage and temp and did another dry burn.
pics to follow.
overall im satisfied with its performance, granted nothing should have happened but 350 is kinda close to the limit so ill take it

I'm not awesome at making coils so hold back on the pitch forks but here ya go. also ive never had a dry hit with nickel which i have almost used exclusively since i got the first mini a while back.
I gotta chime in here.
The dry cotton test for a TC mod is... basically pointless.
I say this because you are creating a situation that isn't very likely to happen. After you saturate your wick you are never getting the cotton as dry as it came out of the package. Ever.
Once you add juice and your wick is moist its capacity to take heat without burning/scorching increases dramatically.
I feel that TC working properly it is pretty easy to tell that TC voltage throttling is kicking in because your vapor production will go from a womp to a cigalike tootle midpuff.
If you scorch wet cotton something is wrong with your mod or build. If you scorch dry cotton something is wrong with your testing methodology.

While what you are saying is true, there is a reason why people do it. Dry cotton has a known burn temp. The dry cotton test is a cheap and quick way to test if your mod is accurate in any way.
A properly setup coil with the correct base resistance shouldn't burn cotton at 400*F. If it's lighting it on fire at that temp then the mod is not accurate or there is an issue with your coil.
Or you are using too high of an initial wattage. It takes time for a mod to stabilize the temp. Too high of an initial power surge will overshoot the desired temp, depending upon the wire used.
in which case the evic does this (i think it was pbusardo who said it,forgot)
thats why on te evic its pointless.
