Thanks I'll get that one.
I just got the Therion 166 the other day and I started to have a problem with it last night. It was vaping fine in SS316 TC mode but then the coil started heating up way faster than normal. It was reading at .43 which my other mod and ohm reader read the coil at. But when I switched the Therion to power mode, the coil was reading at .52.
I unlocked the resistance in SS316 and let it cool down. It still read the resistance at .43. Temp protection still comes on very quickly at the same watt settings I use in power mode. It vapes fine in power mode.
That would make sense if you switched to power mode while the coil was hot.
In TC, you see the cold resistance the mod locks in when you first screw on the atomizer. In power mode you see the live resistance. As the coil gets hotter, the resistance goes up. That's how TC works. The mod compares the room temperature resistance to the rise in resistance as the coil heats up and in conjunction with the TCR/curve knows when it's at your set temperature (when it's risen the amount it should for temp at the given TCR).
Why the coils is heating up faster could be that it's getting gunked up or the cotton needs top be changed and isn't wicking well. Also if the coil was warm/hot when you first screwed it on, the resistance would have been higher than it should be. The mod monitors the coils resistance and if it sense the cold resistance is lower than what it locked it, it will refine itself to the lower resistance.
Did you notice if the original resistance was higher than the .43 it was reading before switching to power mode? What do you have the temp set at? It could be you just prefer a warmer vape.
Cheers,
Steve
