Don't seem to get my IStick40 to work with my smok TCT.
When set to 200C it goes the temp protection after couple of seconds never producing a good vape.
So wish this one would allow to set wattage in TC, do think 40 watts is way too much for a good vape.

Isn't that what's it's supposed to do? Ramp up quickly to the set temperature and try to maintain it so you get a consistent vape throughout the hit?
I did see on another thread that the 40TC runs cold and has to be set much higher than other mods to produce a warm vape.

392 F is really a very moderate temp so i'm pretty confused why temp protection kicks in :?:

I've been using an evic TC at about 400-420 F (204-215 C) at 40 watts for a nice vape. It's supposed to go into temperature protection which will lower the watts to maintain the temp you set. I vape at very moderate temperature compared to others I've seen posting. They are using 250-275 C (482-527 F), way too hot for me, but with kanthral 1.0-1.5Ω are low resistance for me.

I have wicked an old IGO-W with some Ni200, wicked with rayon and fired it completly dry, not a drop of juice at 40 watts. The wick doesn't burn or scorch at all, and I can watch the watts display drop to about one watt. That's how TC is supposed to work, I'm hoping the iStick 40 will perform the trick without error.

Might be that I need to crank up mine, still trying to find the sweet spot.

That's what I would do. Turn it up little by little until you get the vape you want, ignoring the numbers. We've been down this road before.

When my SX Mini goes into temp protection, I lower the power a bit and it stops. It doesn't need to overshoot the temp setting too much or it will go into temp protection instead of just normally regulation. Too much pwer and it will do it.

The TC40W runs at 40W all the time in TC mode and is not adjustable, more divine wisdom from WeeLeaf...

Everyone says that if it is hitting protection then just turn up the temperature till it stops.

When it hits temperature protection the watts will drop. I'm vaping my evic TC at 400 F and if I hit it until it goes into TP the watts drop to about 8 or 9 watts, interestingly enough about where I vape my VW mods.

In a VW mod it adjusts the voltage to maintain the set wattage for the resistance of your coil. In a TC mod it adjusts the wattage applied to maintain the temperature you set, it already knows the resistance.

I believe it does drop power to regulate the temperature like other units. The wattage on the eLeaf in TC mode is not adjustable from what I understand, you couldn't set it to 20W or 30W like other APV's.

I am not familiar with the Evic, the eLeaf would be the same as Bikenstein setting his SX M to 40W in TC mode and vaping with only a temperature adjustment available.

You are correct, it's cherry:thumbs: I have most of a roll left. It's like contact "paper" but it's not as sticky as regular contact paper so it comes off without leaving any glue.

If you want some, I'll send you a few pieces. The dimensions are 85mm X 71mm.

My apologies, to completely ignore your reply to our discussion!! I must say we've had a 'couple distractions' lately in our lives, thus my inattention to what I enjoy over here on ECF! (biggest one being - my 95 yr old mom is failing fast, we're trying to abide by her wishes to allow her to stay in her home until the end, so we hired a 24/7 helper this week to help as her mind began going elsewhere last week (can't send her normal daily emails saying she's still here), and this week we're seeing her grow more feeble in body, thus adding a walker to help her get around, and when she's not, at least she's taking her shoes off now when she climbs into bed for a nap! (haha) - all in 3 weeks time! a quick decline) but, back to our discussion...

I have put in an order for some silicon sleeves for my isticks, so think I'm covered presently, but I appreciate your offer to share with me!
I just haven't had time to do any shopping online for woodgrain wraps - and - don't want to drop these newest goodies in the meantime either! I know things will slow down in the future for us, but for the time being, we'll do what we can with what we have...Thank you kindly!! I may be back to talk more along this line with you - k? Thanks for your kind offer - it's just us and what's going on presently that is throwing us off our game.
