    DNA 200 Watt

    It's a scripting programming language. I used to write programs in it years ago, but have forgotten most of what I knew. I am not sure what one would need or want to do with it on a DNA-200 though, but it's neat the option is there.

    New to TC. Help with wire choice.

    You can as long as you are careful not to vape it dry. Titanium dioxide really only becomes a problem at much elevated temperatures (paging druckle -- he is an old titanium engineer who knows this stuff). Go to unkamensupplies.com if you need SS wire (if you're in the USA). They carry 304...

    Eleaf iStick 100w TC

    Also I have to say the resistance readings are usually high, but this seems to be typical of cheaper mods. Inaccurate resistance will throw your temp accuracy off, so you may have to adjust accordingly. I don't expect DNA-200 accuracy, but just putting that out there. For $40 I have no...

    Eleaf iStick 100w TC

    Yeah mine does that when the battery is nearly dead, but it also gives me a "battery low" warning starting at around 3.6V or so. Not sure if it's a bug or if they just really want you to be reminded that you'll need fresh batteries in a few hours (or days). lol Also, when my batteries get...

    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    Saw a guy post over on Evolv forums that he bought some TEMCo Ti wire. I have looked in the past but only found Ni-200, Kanthal and Nichrome on their website. Well, it does indeed look like they are carrying Grade 1 Ti wire. They have all gauges from 20 to 34. A 50 ft. spool of 24 or 26 is...

    Find the "TCR" mode on your VTC Mini and set one of the profiles to "0138."

    75W Vaporesso TARGET 2 VTC Kit with Ceramic cCELL Coil

    Yeah, but I am using their tank (the target). I shouldn't have to freaking dremel my coils. Frustrating because I can tell this would be a good vape if I could get the coils to wick. (Using 30/70 juice, btw. Might try some 50/50).

    Joyetech Cubis

    It's either nichrome80 or Kanthal. I've noticed most prebuilt coils that come with RBA's are nichrome. You can compare the coil to steam engine to find out.

    The 0.5 and 1.0 are stainless steel. The 1.5 is Kanthal. As for stainless I find that the TCR for 430 SS works the best. That is 0.00138. The coils are advertised as 316L, but I am pretty sure they aren't. They are stainless, but probably 430 or something similar.

    75W Vaporesso TARGET 2 VTC Kit with Ceramic cCELL Coil

    Yep. Mine is reading .17 on my DNA-200 (I trust its accuracy). After I let the tank sit for a few hours, the taste seems to have gone away. The downside is that I have to run this thing at over 500F to even begin getting a decent vape. I typically vape at between 430 and 450F but that just...

    75W Vaporesso TARGET 2 VTC Kit with Ceramic cCELL Coil

    Just got my target tank in the mail. Popped the Ni-200 coil in, primed it, let it sit a couple of minutes, and fired it up in TC mode at temps between 420 and 470°F. So far, I can definitely taste the ceramic (or something). It tastes sort of chalky. That's the best way I can describe it...

    I am glad I got the white one. It is really freaking slick.

    Why do you temp control?

    I temp control to reduce the aldehydes in my vape. The dry hit protection is just a bonus.

    A New "Formaldehyde Study." This Time They Did it Right

    The paper is titled: "Correlation of volatile carbonyl yields emitted by e-cigarettes with the temperature of the heating coil and the perceived sensorial quality of the generated vapours" and was was published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health. The full paper is...

    Why do you temp control?

    Because it keeps the temp steady at what you set. With power mode, the temp will keep rising throughout the puff. For me it's more about reducing my exposure to aldehydes than it is to avoiding dry hits.

    Does yours even do this at all? Interrupt you with a low battery warning forcing you to press the button twice?

    Batteries

    I think the charge cycle count is closer to 200-300 charges than it is 500. You could probably get 500 but with severely reduced performance. A good rule of thumb is to probably scrap your batteries after 6 months of continuous use. This may be conservative but batteries are $5-7 a piece...
