Here's hoping the next update brings a single/dual coil setting like my X Cube II. I prefer a single spaced twisted 28 gauge SS430 coil made from two wires.

Why wouldn't a custom TCR work, downloaded from SteamEngine site work, where they have multi wire settings, not sure how that effects overall TCR, as I stick with single wire builds. What's the "single/dual" setting do on an Xcube?

I'm cautious about buying this new "flavor of the week." I have an old Mac and b/c of this it has stopped me from buying dna and yihi products. Does anybody know the oldest Mac OS that this firmware would be compatible?

Didn't work on my old Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Tried a few times, then ran Windows XP, under Parallels, on the Mac. That worked.

Boards read twisted/claptons/braided coils as a single coil

dual coil option is for a parallel circuit 2 seperate coils because with a dual coil it is almost impossible to get both coils to have exactly the same resistance.

I just got a Tron kit for my son for Xmas and the juice holes on the Ti heads are very tiny indeed and we use high VG juice. It works, but not a full satisfaction in vapor production. Has any tried to drill out the 4 holes?
Take a look at the ego one clr coils. They are rebuildable and have 2, much larger, holes for juice to wick into. I have some on order. 5 packs are about same price as non rebuildable cl coil heads.

Pretty much everybody hates the tanks that come with the kit but it's largely due to the craptastic CL coils. I love the eGo One tanks that came with the first VTC mini kits but I would've tossed them in the trash if it wasn't for the rebuildable heads. I prefer these over Kanger Subtanks thanks to the CLR heads. I haven't tried a Tron tank but they're pretty much the same design as the earlier ones.

Grrrrr lucky you! I got the tron tank but couldn't grab any CLR coils just-yet... However, so-far, I am really enjoying the stock coils. I see/feel/experience nothing of concern or issue with the coil (kanthal) that came pre-installed at 1.0ohm, other-than the fact that it was actually at 1.2 ohms by the time I began vaping on it, but, nobody/machine is perfect, right? I definitely support the egoONE/tron.

A few rolls of SS 430 showed up at my door this weekend.

I've been enjoying the smoothest, tastiest vape I've had in days.

The new TCR feature seems to be working great.

I like the properties of this wire. It's not too springy, just enough, holds its shape well and doesn't deform when pulling cotton through.

It's a pleasure to handle and work with.

(Gettin' antsy for JT to get this feature over to the RX200.)

HAHA... That's awesome! That's just plain awesome, haha.
So what happened? is it an encryption issue, a generic software issue, or are they the same chips (or very similar?) haha?
Sorry but that is just too funny to me. Does the update change the Presca screen as-well? haha.
Just speculation, I don't know, but isn't Wismec a subsidy of Joytech? Perhaps same/similar?

Posted same question a week ago and no interest, so trying again. Does anyone know why the VTC Mini with Tron is not available at any of the US vendors, only the Chinese distributors? Would prefer familiar vendors in the event of warranty or shipping issues.

Many vendors are probably trying to sell out their stock of the original kit before stocking the new one. That being said, here are several well known stateside vendors selling the Tron kit...

Joye eVic-VTC Mini with TRON Tank 18650 Mod
Joyetech eVic-VTC Mini Full Kit with TRON-S Atomizer
eVic VTC Mini with Tron-S Kit by JoyeTech $54.95
Joyetech eVic VTC Mini 75W Tron Full Kit
eVic VTC Mini with Tron Atomizer

I ordered one from 101 Vape a couple of days ago. Last one they had and red with red tron tank. Used $5.00 off coupon. Ordered some ego one clr coils today. Also some ss 316L wire.

I got my sons here for the same price with no issues:

Joyetech eVic-VTC Mini V2 75W Full Kit TC VW Box Mod Red Authentic

It is currently $54.99 and ships from a Los Angeles warehouse. They state having stock on all 6 colors.

Hello again. So I updated to 3.0 last night( good riddance puff counter and vape time, i dgaf )and using 26ga ss316 dual 2.5mm .22 ohm contact coils on doge/holy grail clone. i have used the stock manual tcr (0120) and 2 recommended here (0920, & 0880) &the stock ss316 setting and personal experience is that 0920 tcr is the better vape, and finally that nickel taste is gone

Good for you, titanium is the only wire I use. I don't really care what others use. We beat the various wire choices to death in this thread (link below), and it's ONLY 173 pages long. Then again what I allow into my lungs, is KINDA important to me, so yes, I've read every post in educating myself, as I advise other smart folks to do, rather then rely on one persons answer to a forum question. I tell my new vapor friends, if you don't care or are just lazy, then use the pre-built coils, then again, you still have to invest some time learning how to use your device properly.

Titanium wire, vaping and safety


Hey Mactavish....since you know Ti really well, would you happen to know the tcr# for Sweet Spot 0.5?? I asked SSV and they sent me the .csv files. I used the .csv files for my DNA 200's but need a number for my VTC Mini. I read somewhere that SSV wire is grade 2 so should I use 0353?? Thanx!!

Got mines from MVS, aka, myvaporstore (dot) com. awesome little website with a GREAT selection of mods & everythin else. They've got a greattt selection of regulated mods, reg box mods, reg tube mods, mech mods & h box mods, they've got RDAs and RBTs and they've got kanthal and wick, they've got pre-wound-coils too, which i ordered & currently really enjoy. They've got tank-protector-bandz as-well, which say MyVaporStore on them, and adding 1 to your cart, reduces your price by 75 cents (on-top of the free band) and then each band after that costs you 75 cents. They have free ship&H over 75 bucks, and they have great customer service. They've got the Evic and the Subox Mini in stock regularly. BOTH are great (and similar) mods, for GREAT (and similar) prices. I got both, from MVS. Currently loving/enjoying both mods, NO issues, & came with the real-deal scratch N sniff Genuine Warranties ;) If I remember right, they even carry small squares of SS Mesh, in different hole-distance/size options, which, for the most part, many US vendors have STOPPED carrying all-together! (which is NUTS considering, im sure there is still a huge amnt of ppl using genesis tanks, right!? crazy!)

Best of all, the price of the Evic VTC Mini is 1 of the lowest on the net, so is their price on the Subox Mini, I got BOTH mods, and a bunch of side gear, an RDA, plus a 30ml bottle of juice, all for under $150usd, which was great, because that was my budget. Awesome order. Highly suggest them, they are a gr8 site.

While I would love to help, I have steered clear of that brand, since as you have read, it's NOT G1 titanium, and for me one one of the main reasons to choose titanium for your vaping wire, is to avoid alloys, and mixed metals. I suppose you could experiment with the TCR values, and attempt to match your DNA mod. When you run out, get some Grade #1 Ti.
