    I don't think so. If it's showing an empty battery and not firing on one press but it fires on the next press and shows the correct battery indicator, it sounds like a manufacturing defect. Could be a bad solder or something more serious.

    It sounds like a defective mod. It absolutely should not do that with any firmware version. You may want to return or exchange it.

    It sounds like you actually are having some issues with SS TC. The VTC Mini will not drop out of SS temp control mode with a coil above .3 ohms when it's a spaced coil. I always vape in SS TC mode and all of my coils are between .4 - .9 ohms. The only time the mod ever dropped these higher ohm...

    I'm in the same dilemma. I already have a black and a white VTC Mini and I really want another single 18650 SS TC mod. The Presa 75 looks perfect but I wish it came in white. I threw a BB-8 J-wrap on my white VTC so a plain white Presa would be great.

    I've had the VTC throw my contact coils out of temp mode but not my spaced coils. I haven't tried it in a while but after that happened with a couple SS contact coil builds I decided to stick with spaced coils. I can't say if it makes things more stable. I only vape in SS TC mode on both of my...

    Just got my second VTC Mini. So far so good using a Crown with a 26 gauge 316L SS spaced coil in TC. I love these things.

    Threads like these are where people who are having problems go to ask questions about their mod. It makes it seem like there is a bigger problem than there is. My guess is, the biggest flaw with the VTC is the 510 connection. I don't know if the positive pin is too deep or the solders are hit or...

    Ouch. Sorry to hear that. I hope my next VTC won't have that problem. I've been really happy with the first one using SS TC. Lucked out.

    Did tyzer's advice work for you?

    No problem. I've rebuilt them many times. First off, you want to use a 2.5mm drill bit, screwdriver, or coil master type device. Anything bigger won't work well, although a 2.0mm coil should be fine. Second point, and this is a big one, the 1 ohm heads have a very tiny air hole in the bottom pin...

    I'm also careful about threads because of a Vamo I owned years ago, but it had brass threads with a fixed pin. You should be fine threading down a tank on a stainless steel threaded mod with a spring loaded pin. If threading your Subtank on tight solves your connection problem I'd stick with...

    I had that issue with the Crown once but I screwed the tank down a bit more and it worked fine. I usually screw on my tanks on very gently. That doesn't work with my Crown. Wish it had an adjustable pin. Great post tyzer. Really excellent. A lot of people suspected the 510 connection was the...

    Same here. No problems at all using TC with 24, 26 or 28 gauge 316l.

    I don't know if you're simply committed to putting words into my mouth or you're just misreading my words... but it's pretty sad. I'm certain they will continue to make new firmware updates, but the current firmware works very well in SS mode for me and many others. I get the feeling that all...

    eVic-VT mini?

    Wrong. I never gave a copy and paste response, and I never said that the only possible problem was with your builds. My dispute was with your assertion that the 2.0 firmware "sensitivity of ss mode" is the cause of your mod throwing the coil out of temp control. The firmware does not throw...

    eVic-VT mini?

    My point is lots of people have no issue with the VTC throwing stainless steel out of TC. If you have 2 mods that keep throwing your SS atty out of TC it may be the mod, but it also may be the atomizer, your build, the settings, or some combination. If the problem is with both of your mods, then...

    eVic-VT mini?

    That hasn't happened to me at all with SS unless I used a bad build. With a single wire spaced SS build it has never once thrown me out of TC mode since the 2.00 firmware. It locks in and vapes beautifully in TC every time with lots of different builds. I have heard that some people have had...

    eVic-VT mini?

    I'd guess that it's the parallel build. Are the coils spaced (only touching at the connection point)? I've only had SS TC issues with contact coils or twisted SS wire with the VTC. I'm vaping fine right now with a .52 ohm 26 gauge single wire coil in the Crown RBA. I had a .3 ohm 24 gauge SS...

    Makes sense. That was my suspicion based on how differently the mod acted with each version. I wanted to post about it in case anybody else was having problems with 1.30 but hadn't tried 2.0. Although it may just be a weird occurrence with my mod.
