Yeah, it looks and sounds much harder then it is. I was in fear too but 1st try came out perfect. Messed up maybe 3 in 6 months since then. Just got a two post two hole rta as well I almost didn't buy because "it's tiny deck, hard to build on, hard to wick" same thing 1st try was perfect super easy lol. I think paid reviewers and vendors just make it sound hard because they make more money for the company selling you 5 coils for $20 then 20 for $1 LOL.

"For professional vapers only!" Guess I was a Pro after 1 month... wish the NBA was that easy to become a "Pro" lol.

hello Gramdogg - welcome to the thread :toast:

we are under the jurisdiction of the "ECF" league
but if you want to belong to the nba (no burnt atomizers) guess that's OK too... :pervy:

the TC60w - everything (no really, everything)
and this is for ME ~ I love the fit and it being VERY symmetrical
it's kinda big but sorta lite, the two side panel doors pop off to change colors (if one would care) and make battery swap a breeze !
the price, features, and now that I've been using several for like a year and a ½ add in durability - cheap easy to find silicone sleeves
60w more that enuff for me, stainless steel threading, springy 510 pin, info screen, lanyard hole, USB, easy to use
battery life seems better than most (at LEAST the same) TC function, TC watts adjustable

- - - -

I went thru my current topper-tanks and didn’t have a below >1.0Ω SS coil in use

So just to answer your “Q” , I built a SS coil @ .8Ω

My first TC device was the TC40w (bought for wife)
When put into TC MODE it auto-sets watts to max (40w) I don’t like that
So with my new .8Ω SS coil, I put it on TC40w and set TC mode to Ni
then rolled the temp down to 200°- I ended using it @ 210°/40w (too hot for my liking)
the Ti mode is very hot (40w/200°)
then I put it on the TC60w
set the TC watts to 28w/then 220° and it is perfect (for me) nice warm vape…

then just for giggles, I put it on my newest TC device (iTaste Hunter)

Innokin does stuff different, so this is what went down...
300° is min, and watts start @ 25w and move in 5w increments only (TC mode 25w-75w)
So I set it to ~SS/25w/300°~ (very nice and same vape as TC60w)

Next up was the Wismec ‘Stout’ - SS mode/22w/320° (my preference)
And again, just how I like it – a warm FULL vape


So the feature of being able to adjust your TC wattage makes a big difference, to me

Then the older TC units you had to stay UNDER 1.0Ω or it ‘kicks’ you out of TEMP CONTROL
Newer ones fix both allowing you to use watts adj, & use coils up to 1.5Ω in TC mode
Forced to use the hotter “sub” ohm coils and then the higher set TC TEMP is too hot , for me

Thank you so much for going through all the trouble for me :banana:

Form factor of the 60w does look very nice. It seems a very well rounded (pun intended) device. I'm very much tempted. I might even buy it for using in power mode:rolleyes:

My understanding from your tests is that it is possible to use SS on others modes but it doesn't give much room for adjustments. Decreasing wattage in the TC modes essentially slows down the heating process. So probably when you set the wattage lower, it gave cooler vape because the set temperature was not even reached during those puffs, rendering TC useless. Or am I wrong?

If you set it to low yeah but they tend to hit temp pretty fast. Ex I run 0.5 Ti at 30w 500f and it hits temp fast and only uses 8-12w to maintain it. After 1st hit it will takes less time for rest cause it's already warm. Problem with using say 60w is it will hit temp to fast and go over temp before protection kicks in and drops to 8-12w. Better to use to little then to much IMO.

Hi and nice to meet you. Thanks for the warm welcome :)

I'm new to vaping and ECF. The community here is so nice and helpful that I check in multiple times every day hoping to learn something new to improve my vaping experience. I've been trying to convince my smoker friends and family to also start vaping. At least I can guide them after watching hundreds of YouTube videos and reading too many articles about vaping :pervy:

Sorry if I'm not polite enough in my conversation as English is not my first language (more like the third).

True but we don't even know what temperature value on SS corresponds to the 200f on Ti or Ni200 coils. I think pufZ can shed more light on this whether the mod ever hit temperature protection during his tests on lower wattage.

I believe the intent of TEMP CONTROL from manufacturers
was to max out settings and let the TC mode handle the duties...

many peeps think when they see Temp Protection flash on the screen that it is doing something wrong
when in reality it is "in TC mode" functioning properly

the watts setting in TC mode can be classified as 'ramp up' time
how fast it takes to get your coil up to the TEMP you set and maintain it throughout your 'draw'

lets not think there is a thermometer inside these devices
it is just a set of known valuables that allows power (watts) to be applied to a wire that it reads
it knows NOT if your using Ti Ni or SS, just when the pulse surges thru the wire (chip reading coil)
does it then "limit" it to what you called up on the screen - so then it attempts to run in TC mode not allowing
the coil/heat/power to go beyond what you set it at...

it's just a spreadsheet of known valuables that has been installed in the chip set

like when you have cruise control set in your car & come to a steep hill


now I'm in WAY OVER MY HEAD so I'm out - that's just MY TAKE on how I THINK TC works... :facepalm:

After 4 attempts, I just can't recapture the magic of my first CLR build. Sadly I think I might give up.

NO no no, NEVER give up - till you give out :eek:

it will come , keep trying YOU'LL GET IT
then LAFF at yourself for making it difficult

tell or 'share' with us what is going on and maybe we can be of some assistance...

keep rockin' :headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang:

Yeah the manufacturers intended wrongly lol. If I use max watts it will get WAY to hot before temp control has time to kick in, get dry hits like crazy at 60w. Mine tells the temperature... hit button 10 times fast and it displays internal temperature or temperature of the chip... something. Not saying it reads temperature of the coil, that works by preset TCR and reading Ohms ramp up, higher temp lets the ohms ramp up higher. Thats how I know about where to set my evic vtc mini. It displays in real time and when I use 60w the ohms go much higher then they should be at set temp then lower to correct itself, I prefer they read lower and go up FAST then higher and need to cool off. Takes some playing around for each different coil to find the perfect watts.

Did Nixon give up when the Japanese bombed Pearl Bailey?
Did Roosevelt give up when he charged up Pork Chop Hill?
No Sir, they kept going!
Never give up! Never surrender!

San Bernardino area, So. Cal.
Well the black ego one tank I ordered from VapeShop on the 11th is still touring So. Cal. It's been to my home town of San Bernardino twice, went to San Diego twice, now to Moreno Valley where it should have gone to first, then to Rialto, then to me. So maybe tomorrow it will go in the right direction. Sheesh!!
