Fuchai 200w

[socalfisher]

I just picked this up and been using it for the last 4 days. Im having an issue with muted flavor. I currently running the device in pwr mode. 1ohm @ 50w I have tons of vapor but the flavor is muted. I thought that it may be my build. I rebuilt and still having the same issue.

I threw my atty on my old ipv3 and have tons of flavor and vapor production. I havent used the device in any other mode so I cannot test that.

Any ideas what may be happening?

Try starting out 15-20 w below what you used to use and work up till the flavor comes around.

 

[socalfisher]

I have tried that. I have also brought up to about 60-65w and still no flavor. I do get a sense of a burnt taste yet again throw back on another device and have full blown flavor

 

[cobalt327]

Is the Fuchai 510 blocking any air intakes on the atty?

 

[AtmizrOpin]

your problem doesn't make sense, unless as cobalt stated, if your atty gets air from the bottom and the fuchai is restricting the airflow. is it's straight power mode most mods are pretty equal in that department. maybe it's a placebo effect and you just subconsciencously don't want to like fuchai! lol

I'm not sure how a power supply could effect flavor. I have been using the Fuchai 200 Watt TC almostt exclusively since I got it. I have not noticed anything odd with flavor production. As I said, I'm not sure how a power supply could make any difference in respect to flavor.

I received one today and have been running RDA's and RTA's on it all day. So far all is good! Haven't noticed any flavor loss at all?

 

[socalfisher]

Hmm so strange. Im using the velocity rda and the doge v2. Both seem to have muted flavor on the device.

 

[bigrobbie]

I have one as well, could your temp setting have any bearing? I'm only moderately educated on this stuff, but thought I'd throw in my 0.02!

 

[roxynoodle]

Not all mods are accurate in all power ranges, and obviously some are kind of inaccurate in general. But, you ought to be able to dial it in.

I switched an MT from an istick 100W to an rx200 a few days ago. I was running 61.5W on the istick and had to reduce to 57.5W for the rx. But, your Fuchai should be in the same general range as your ipv, within a few watts.

crank your wattage up to 200 watts, then take a pull.

I've just finished day 2 with the Fuchai,and it hasn't disappointed me yet! I'm mostly running a sub mini on it with a 0.09 nickel build in the RTA at 450 F. The RDA is a Haze with a 2.3 ohm dual coil Kanthal build @ 60 W. My battery's are still at half charge, according to the display. It's really starting to impress me,the more I use it! I'm liking the battery life also!

The Fuchi power output is under wattage... You probably just need to jack it up around 10w higher then you are used to. The Fuch does do a good job regulating battery usage and you will get good life, but that is also because when you have it set at 85w it's prob only kickin 75-78w

 

[bigrobbie]

As a newbie I have to ask....When in the hell would you ever use it @ 200watts? Forgive my ignorance.

 

[rks1949]

I think it's a trend. Most won't ever use that much power,but some may? When I use a RDA, I set it at 70 watts. I've also heard (not sure if it's true though?) that by having extra power available,when you use it at a lower wattage (say 25% capacity) the mod runs easier,and get's better life out of the battery's,instead of a smaller one running at max capacity. How true this is I don't know?

 

[socalfisher]

So i have this up to 70w with a 1ohm dual coil kanthal build start to have flavor but burns off so quick. I get maybe 2-3 decent flavor hits and gone. tested my atty on 3 devices and a ohm tester, all read within .05-.1. could the device be under power 20watts and should that be a concern?

 

[Wingsfan0310]

Some mods are just under-powered, the company may be playing happy with their specs. I wouldn't be too concerned unless it's not consistent (although 20 watts is quite a bit). In other words if you have to use 30 watts higher, then 40, etc. If it's still under warranty you could try to exchange it, get a refund, or trade it for a different mod altogether. That's your call. Good Luck!

Cheers,

Edit I haven't read the whole thread, but just in case. Make sure the 510 connector is clean and the battery contacts ... well. I use a Q-Tip dipped in rubbing alcohol, not dripping wet, but moist. You can use the dry end to go over it to get off any excess. Let it air dry for a few minutes and you should be good to go.

 

[rks1949]

Yeah,it sounds like something is wrong? I would contact them and see if they will exchange it.

The Fuchai has a max output voltage of 7.5V, so you'll never get more than 56 watts from that 1 ohm coil. Factor in some inefficiency and it's possible it's putting out a bit less. What are all the details of your build? Have you tried one with a lower resistance?
