    Kind of like my last one when it glitched in fire mode. I had to pull the battery to make it stop.

    I probably have another crazy mod. But when I first had the Ti wire in I had to have it at like 500+ for it to even get somewhat warm. With the ss coil in 300 is a little warmer than it was at 500+ with the ti wire. I think some said the the tc mode on these pico's aren't that great. But really...

    Telling you it's not the resistance. I just built an identical coil earlier used about 3inches of wire, and used the same coiling tool and pulled it apart to space. And using multimeter it came out at 0.8Ω. So it's not resistance, and I can't change the TCR in SS mode I don't think. Also it is...

    I tested the resistance with the multimeter and the tank off of the mod. It came up at 0.9 minus the 0.1 lead resistance so it was 0.8 with it cooled. So the res is locked at correct amount.

    This is the settings I am using, and the resulting amount of vapor. I am using new VTC4's in it now. Note: That's my dog in the background eating a treat. :).

    I got the wire from HERE on Amazon. Their specs say 2.803Ω per foot.

    Just measured a piece of the ss wire. I took 4 inches and bent it so I knew where the 4 inch mark was. I hooked it up to multimeter and tested the ohms between the end and the 4 inch mark. It came up to 1.1. That measures out to about 0.275Ω per inch. With the coil I built, That would be about...

    The mod is reading accurately on the resistance. I just tested the post and ground with my multimeter, and it came out at .8Ω. (I didn't remove the coil, I just tested the copper center pin and the ground) Also what ohms do you think it should come out to?

    It might have been. It was dark when I wrapped it, and was trying to count the wraps under a lava lamp light :).

    should be 3mm I used a coil tool to make it and then just pulled it out to space it. I did a lot of dry burns to make sure it glowed right from center. Works great.

    Agree, Plus I can dry burn ss as much as I want without fear of oxidizing it. :) Not sure why it works at such low temps, but with the day, no, week I've been having I really really don't care. As long as it works I'm happy.

    Like a .8 ohm coil. Using 28ga ss. with like 3 or 4 wraps. I also have the airflow half shut. But I think it is like 350 to 380. Can't remember, but in class now. I'll upload pictures later.

    Well, I don't think I'll ever switch back to titanium. Maybe kanthal one day, but I don't even see why I would do that. SS produces the bast vape I've had and I have the temp way down at like 300 something. So I believe the temp readings are more accurate.

    Just built my first ss coil and damn, I should have done that before. Tcss seems to work much better than the TiTc mode.

    That's odd, I notice the same thing with slowly increasing the temp to maintain a consistent vape. Why is that?

    Sony VTC4 question.

    Thanks, ive charged them at. 5 before, just started using the 1a charge rate. Hell, I owned it for over a year before I realized I could charge stuff using the batteries. But I know some chargers had issues with over/under charging and I wanted to be sure mine wasnt in that category. Sent...

    I did, sometimes I cheat when I have to re-lock it. I will take cold draws on it without firing to cool the coil and then lock it when it gets close to the ohm range it was at. Agree, Last time I tried to go back to a kanthal coil the mod went haywire. It kept shorting out at random saying no...

    I'll give that a try. Just tried it. At first it didn't work. In m1 mode I unlocked and relocked it and it said .76 Ω. Then I went to Ti and back to m1 and it was back at .56Ω. Tried it a second time and now in m1 mode it is locked at .81Ω. So I guess I'll see if it stays.

    The first 2 were in Ti mode, (I took several but noticed later that the ohms changed in a couple of them) and the last one was in M1 mode. I had just switched it from ti to m1.
