None of these worked. Haven't been able to use it under 250ºC anymore, I don't know what happened, I started off between 210º-240º and it worked ok. Now it hits temp control protection really fast.

It's hard to say just yet. I have only gone through 2 tanks. Both times it spit and gurgle right after filling the tank. The gurgling cleared up but it keeps spitting until I refill it before the liquid gets below the juice holes on the notch coil. Which doesn't take long. I have gone back to using my evic mini paired with a kanger cl tank 4.0 until the anti spitback drip tips come in that I ordered from fastech.
Sometime I get wonky behavior on the coil like you describe due to bad connection where it will show short or no atomizer. Loosening top and and reinstalling usually corrects. Try that. it may fix your issue.None of these worked. Haven't been able to use it under 250ºC anymore, I don't know what happened, I started off between 210º-240º and it worked ok.

I'm still having issues with my egrip. When it does stop spitting somewhere in the middle of the tank of juice. I was getting a nice warm vape when the notch coil was reading .28. @350 degrees 35watts so I tried to get the coil to lock closer to .25 I finally got it locked at .26 and now to get the same warm vape I have to set it to 480 degrees @45 watts. The issue that bothers me the most is how hot the device gets in my hand after about 8 chain puffs on it. Almost too hot to hold at both settings. Is this normal? I also can't get mine to ask If I have installed a new coil.
- Flooding at first after a fill is par for course but you should see it clear within a few hits.
- When I got my first one it was running utterly scalding hot all the time and I couldn't get it to forget a bogus reading it locked into its memory from the get go no matter what I did.
- I finally got a paper clip and hit that reset button at the bottom of the mod to simulate a battery pull (which was what I used to do with my VTC when it would screw up that way.
- Think it took me two or three presses to get it right because I kept forgetting that the trick was to pull coil out, then simulate the battery pull.
- press fire with atty off mod to reset resistance memory.
- Reinstall atty. press fire.
- you should get new coil prompt.
- select new coil.
- test it and see how it vapes.

- 8 chain vapes in a row is a lot for a device like this. Your pushing 45w and the way that notch coil runs you are using all of it without hitting TP. If it is miscalibrated as described above not a suprise it is getting hot.
That was what enabled me to fix my egrip 2 & get it working properly on the second day I owned it.
All these JT boards work same way, but they change them with every update and I've given up staying current with it all. Whatever they do to reset the memorized resistance for that material setting on Evic VTC, RX200, Cuboid, or the flasks is what you need to do to Egrip II to get the properly calibrated initial cold resistance of the coil locked in. From there it should work as designed.
I reset my egrip about 10 times tring to get it to act right and now I got a unexpected side effect. I recall someone else mention that their led stays lit for a couple seconds after the fire button is let go.. Now mine does that too. I kind of like it better this way.
Last Friday it sort of worked (resetting to fix TC), I went down to 240C(460F). Today I went back to 250C(482F) and it Protects really fast, I had to push it up to 260C(500F) and it still hits TempProtection in about 3 seconds.
Any ideas? The only thing I came up with today, is that it could be that the coil is already dirty and very used (1 month), but I don't know if one thing has to do with the other.
Should I contact Joyetech? The thing works, but not as I wish it worked, vapor comes almost hot, and I was enjoying my 230C(446F) vaping temperature.
I'm on 0.20o (unlocked). 40W.
Doesnt matter if I'm chain smoking or leave it for half an hour, it will hit 500F temp protection fast.

Should I?
It ALWAYS reads .20, I feel like an ... now. I don't know what that does.
I locked it when I first thought that might help fix the Temperature Protection, but it didn't, so I ignored it.
let your mod cool to room temperature. Then reset it again. Remove the top and the coil and dry them off with a paper towel. Fire the mod without the top inserted and it will say no atomizer. Screw the top back in and press fire button and it should ask you if it is a new coil press up yes down no. You want yes. Then hit fire 3 times scroll down and lock your resistence. See if that helps.Should I?

Did all that, left the top unscrewed all night, dried coil in the morning, fired the mod, resetted the mod, fired the mod once again. Screwed top back in, pressed fire, and it did not ask me if it is a new coil. I had never seen that message yet (New coil up same down) and I've done this over 5 times.
I went to Power mode, I don't like having it at 500F on TC.

I'm not sure how to get the prompt but that is what you need. Used to be a battery pull on Evic VTC before they changed the firmware to remember the last atty used in each tc mode.
My best suggestion is to switch to the clapton coil in TC mode and take a few vapes. It should be different enough in resistance to force a new coil prompt & It should kick you out to power mode. Switch back to the notch in ss TC mode & see if you get the prompt then. Hopefully it will recalibrate the unit and correct the situation.
You get that Cupti yet?

That sounds like a good idea. I didn't want to open and use another coil but this might be necessary to bring my notch/TC back to life.
Got the Cupti, haven't tried it. Surprised at the size (keeping in mind the removable battery).
I'll post a couple of pictures in a minute (it's an eGrip vs Cupti) comparison pic set.
Here it goes. I was unsure about posting it here or over at the Cupti thread, but we're more active here so:
Pics like that are welcome in both threads. That Cupti looks like it needs some juice, a battery & some break in time. Look forward to seeing you post your thoughts impressions and review in the Cupti thread.
Know you will bring a new perspective to the discussion there & congrats on the win!
Left the thing to come down to room temperature. Switched coils (from Notch to Clapton) reset it and fired before screwing back in.
When I turned it on, it did kick me to Power mode. But when I fired, it didn't ask me anything, it fired regular Power mode.
Could my eGrip be faulty?- Status
