Um... I don't believe (and I'm not entirely certain) that you can use TC and Wattage mode at the same time. What kind of coils are you using, and what kind of mod? It may be showing you something weird on your TC screen but actively using wattage only. 55 watts is considered high by some, low by others. Are you building your own coils with the kind of materials that will allow you to use TC? Most factory wires, doing that is completely useless... You and your equipment are going to both be highly confused about what's going on (I know I am).

So, 200F might be your battery/mod's "default" setting, and you are merely vaping at 55 watts, no temp control. I'd imagine you are using a sub-ohm tank with that kind of wattage? Don't chain vape until your equipment and juice gets very hot (and 55 watts is too high for me, right out of the gate, first vape)?

Can you please provide more information-- your mod, your tank, your coil, your e-juice type and strength, etc. These all play a role and no one can really help without more information.

    This is Correct.

    You are either in TC Mode or you or in Wattage (Power) Mode or some other Mode if your Mod has other Modes like ByPass. But not Both at the Same Time.

    Most TC Mods allow you adjust the Watts when in TC Mode. But there are some that Don't. And these Mods just let you adjust the Temperature when in TC Mode.

    I think you are Right that the OP is probably in Wattage (Power) Mode. And the 200F is just being displayed on the Screen as what the TC Temp would be if the User switch to TC Mode.

    Because 200F wouldn't give much of a Hit, if any, if TC was on. And 55W would achieve 200F almost Instantaneously for about Any Build the Mod could fire.

    At the stage you are vaping at, I'd recommend not worrying about TC mode for now. What exactly are your concerns? Too hot a vape, producing bad things? Coils state a lot of things about "recommended" wattage, and that doesn't mean that you can't lower your wattage if you're still able to get satisfying vapor.... You may want to experiment with turning your wattage down and see how you do... If you have health concerns or are looking for a cooler vape.

    Also, get the box out for your tank/coil. Read the information inside, it should tell you its ohm-value (I believe that may also be written on the coil, potentially,) but just READ what it says about the coils you are using, what they're made of, and what their resistance is. My guess is if it's premade coils, you are dealing with Kanthal, probably, which can't be used in temp mode anyway. Your box/mod may also display the ohm-value right on the screen, mine does, it's reading at 1.82 ohms, and my coils were built for 1.8 ohms, so it's usually fairly accurate. Most important thing about Temp control is using a coil (or making one, which I'm not gonna recommend at ALL at this point) that is made of a material that can register it.

    Good luck, happy vaping. Oh, what's your nic level.... I am just worried about the knowledge gap here, and don't want you to OD yourself on nicotine.... Which happened to me initially.

    Also, you can take your set up and look online for youtube videos which will demonstrate (and give you pointers) on how to use your setup. TC was this vague, kind of confusing thing until I watched a "How to use the IPV-5" video, several times. I am now certain I know my mod's capabilities and etc.

    Hello eleaf I power the coil is a baby beast

    OK. That is a Nice Mod.

    When you are using it, does the Screen look like this. With the Wattage being in Small Numbers under the Ohms? And the Temperature being in Big Numbers?

    Or is the Wattage in Big Numbers?

    All those Beast coils are Kanthal, and can only be used in wattage mode. @zoiDman is pointing out, the larger number in the display is the one you adjust, in this case it should be in Watts. If that screen displays a small temp number and a large watt number, ignore the temp, it doesn't count.

    Why build a mod to display temps when you're in wattage mode anyway? All that does is confuse people.
