yeah that's what i'm wondering if the gold pin actually serves a purpose. surely someone here has to have tried the non-gold CLR head with a SS/Ti coil with TC?
joytech should have just made a gold CLR head with 1.0ohm for MTL, but maybe they figured 1.0ohm was pushing the limit for TC.. who knows.
Stainless steel TC works just fine with any positive pin. I've done it with the silver pins and the gold pins. There's no difference except for airflow using the 1 ohm head pins. I use either the gold or the normal .5 ohm pins to get more airflow, but they all work exactly the same for temp control. Have no fear.
Side note: I updated to the 3.0 firmware and it works great so far. The watts seem to be applied differently to the coil from the 2.0 firmware. I can go much higher with the watts and my vape temp seems to stay more even at lower temps. Before I had to lower the watts to get a smooth cool vape. Now I can crank the watts higher and it doesn't "pulse" as much using 316L SS. Also, the watts seem to scroll faster, so going in one direction isn't as much of a hassle. Haven't messed with TCR adjustments yet. Gotta say, I may have to get a third VTC now.
These updates are amazing. Joyetech really seems to be making the most of the firmware upgrade feature. Each update makes me like this mod more and more and it was already my favorite single 18650 mod. Major kudos.
