Dovpo Topside TC issue.

[Coolsiggy]

I have had a Topside 80 and then a Dual...both mods I tried out using TC with TCR settings from 80 to 130...105 I believe is default. I also use smok XPriv, VV Pulse and a LV DNA250C. The Topside is unusable in TC mode, almost as if it had a fixed watt level set way too low. All my other mods will display resistance change when fired...not the Topside. I use SS 316 wire and mesh coils in ranges between 0.15 and 1.25 ohms in all cases.
Just wondering whether other users have had good results using the Topside on TC?

I just received my Topside Dual earlier this week and haven't noticed that. I'm able to set the pre-heat wattage to whatever I like, which is all you need for wattage in temp control. For example, I have a 0.13 SS316L clapton coil installed and have a pre-heat of 65 Watts which heats it quick to the set TC of 430 and it vapes just fine. Maybe you have your pre-heat wattage set too low for a good vape experience. I just used the pre-set Temp-SS setting and not the TCR. Try setting the pre-heat wattage a little higher and see how it goes for you.

The wattage setting will allow the coil to ramp up to temp faster when increased, the TRC setting will tell the mod how to respond to the coil resistance change as heat builds up. My problem seems to be that the mod does not appear to respond...at all, just fires at a low wattage.
Tell me does the resistance value increase when you fire the Topside in TC mode using SS coil

OK just tried setting watts to 35 from 25 and the vape is improved using a 0.2 coil....still it is very strange that both the resistance and temp in display does not change. The coil remains at 0.2 ohms and temp at 80.4 F...weird.

Daaa..... dumb me. I thought I had a SS coil in the RDA, just checked and it was Kanthal....sorry guys.
