Eleaf iStick TC40W Wrong Coil Resistance

[SteveS45]

Note that if you are using a coil which is more than one ohm, the device will automatically flip out of temperature control mode because the temperature control range is limited to a maximum resistance of 1 ohm. In addition, if the temperature gets too high, temperature protection will kick in and cut off the device.

There is a hidden Titanium mode with the istick 40WTC mod - you have to press the right combination of keys and hold them for 20 seconds to access it, but I can't remember the exact combination right now.

Not hidden I switched to TiNi Mode just before and fired a CoilArt TiNi TC Coil with it. Can only get to Ni TC with no atty on it though. I am not big into TC and really just starting to experiment with it. If you remember that button combo please share it!

Just looked it up - turn it off (5 clicks )and then hold the fire and up buttons for 20-25 seconds to enable Ti mode.

 

[SteveS45]

I just did that and it goes into Ni TC mode not the TiNi mode. To get into the TiNi I need an atty with a TiNi Coil in it.

Once you've enabled Ti mode use the middle button to cycle to it - after you switch it back on..

With mine it is hold the menu button to switch modes

1. you need to prime the coils. I normally FILL the inside with juice and then wait for the cotton in the juice holes to get dark. Then simply put one end in your mouth and blow the excess juice (if any) out the other end into a paper towel.
2. in my experience, anything more than 12W is a no no and the coil will be fried. Start with 6W and work your way up to 8-10W. I run my Nautilus coils at 4V. (slightly less than 8W)
3. if your using 'sweet' sugary juices your coils will clog up faster than if your using non sugary juices. I had one dark coffee flavored juice that would kill a Nautilus coil in less of a day of use. Beware.

I have found sweeteners will clog the coils and fry them. Keep drawing after letting go of the fire button helps prime the coils for people like me who chain vape like a steam locomotive!

 

[SteveS45]

@Shirtbloke reread what I wrote. I can get to Ni but need an atty to get to TiNi.

 

[SteveS45]

OK, I saw it say Ti on but when powered on it was in Ni mode.

 

[SteveS45]

For mine it is a long press of the middle or menu button.

Yes that's what I meant.

 

[SteveS45]

I swear I got it to work before with what you said but now I can't recreate it.

 

[Shirtbloke]

I've got the feeling that if they went to so much trouble to hide Ti mode there must be something not quite right with it or it would be enabled by default.

 

[SteveS45]

It is not hidden and I actually used it before and got a cooler vape out of my Atlantis V2 but still it isn't what I was expecting. All the talk of Sub Ohm being the Bomb I have not seen. Granted I only got into it the past few weeks. But we are kind of hijacking this thread going a little off topic. Or is it just me? Sorry to the OP!

No you are wrong since I just used my TC40W in TC with a TiNi and it works as per the specs in the manual. You may be able to read a manual but I own an iStick TC40W and it is sitting right next to me.

You must have an updated istick40tc. I had one of the originals and the manual with mine ONLY supported nickel. In TC

Several tricked titanium into working by lowering the temp just as i said.

 

[SteveS45]

I don't know about updated but it is probably close to a year old. It does Ti, TiNi and Ni TC.
