My current setup is vaporesso Armour Pro 100W + Kylin Mini, i'm in process of buying all the stuff but for now i have only 1 wire to work with which is GeekVape SS 316L (26GA).
First of all i'm mostly confused why my coil doesn't change resistance when vaping, i heard it should happen and is normal with SS wire in TC mode, the coil i'm using currently is simple round spaced one with 4.5 wraps & 3mm diameter which is 0.34Ω, wick made with organic cotton - Bocoton, but i picked up Muji just today so will try that later.
The rest of the settings i'm currently using is 92 TCR, temp. at 180-200C (356-392F) and power at 20W. And btw. i'm also confused what Power value i'm supposed to use, how can i calculate it? Higher wattage is just used to obtain the correct temperature faster?
The vape i'm getting is mediocre with decent clouds but the flavor is on the low side, also i feel it hits the throat too much even i'm using such low settings, there is also very slight cotton after taste (but it's definitely not dry hit) actually i'm not sure if this could be hot spot, bad wicking or i'm just using liquid with too much nicotine which i'm not used to. I can see the coil/wick through the drip tip and it looks pretty wet.
Literally started vaping yesterday and that's my first coil and first time with TC mode, any tips? Mostly i'm interested in what coils i should be working with in TC (what resistance to use with which temp/wattage)
Cheers.
Edit: actually managed to take photo of my current coil, maybe it will be helpful:
