In power mode, I came across a group that advocates 1ohm builds or above for your atomizers. They say it's unnecessary to be subohming using a vw mod like the evic and is much safer and will be less stress for the mod and battery. Specially if you just want to chuck clouds. Thoughts?
No it's not needed, though thinner wire used in high ohm builds might not hold up to high wattages. And at some point you'll reach the voltage limit of the device of course (9v for the Evic Mini I believe). However, tc wire is lower resistance so it'll be difficult to reach one ohm or higher.

Try a custom TCR setting of "0336" in one of the three "M" presets. That's the stream engine titanium TCR. I still use the built in Ti setting for some eliqiuds. The custom TCR keeps my Ti temps in the 470-480 range, as it's a bit hotter then whatever their TCR is set to. I leave my watts at 35 since it does NOT matter much, Ti reaches set temp at even less watts, more watts makes NO difference at all.

A "0700" custom TCR setting at approx 10 watts will allow for a low glow dry burn titanium wire, for testing and cleaning.

Thanks much :thumb:
Actually to be honest, I forgot all about v3.0 having a Manual TCR Profile... duh o_O
Changed to TCR Mode, set the Presets (0335, 0345, & 0360), went to M2/0345, and it is performing even more to my liking. The SXMM is the same way. Vapes much better in Manual TCR Profile with the TCR set a tad higher than it does on actual Ti Mode.
Once more,,, An impressive little Device indeed.

I found a tcr of .0100 with SS 316L works for me in both my mini and cuboid. Using subtanks and tfv4's.

HD

Similar experience.

I set it at 105 for 316L so that I can vape satisfactorily with a warm vape
without having to bump up the temperature way high.

TCR 105 - 316L vape at 200 to 220 Celsius (single coil)

Sorry for the typo, the stream engine Ti TCR should be: "0366"

Ok so im gonna thread jack just a little bitView attachment 524814 is anybody else as turned on by this as i am? Its a vtcmini powred squonk.

I want one. $200 is simply far too expensive for what it is. They must be doing small batch 3D printing. I'd happily pay $75 for one, which is more than twice what i paid for my VTC Mini Kit. But it needs to be mass produced to reach that price point. :-\

ETA: I wonder if these guys are buying entire JT mods for the chipsets. If these, the Cuboid, RX200 or VF Stout, etc chipsets are available loose/wholesale, I'd pick up a couple. TBH, I'd love a couple of Cuboid chipsets (if they're different from the VTCm). I just really like this style of screen/interface.

The video makes me think small batched , and since the guy cant buy just the boards he has to buy and tear down vtc minis for the parts. I imagine they would be cheaper if ( HEY JOYETECH ARE YOU LISTENING !!?!!) you could just buy the boards ( like evolv and yihi do) . Figure the evic is (give or take) 40$ , time to tear it down, parts for the squonker conversion, assembly. 150 €( a little more than 160$ US) aint bad. Considering a Reo costs that much and its a mech made here or building one like the Svapiamo yourself . If i had the scratch id be up for one. If he could buy just the boards theyd be less than 100$

Agreed, completely! The chipsets would sell for what, $10 wholesale? We've all seen these really inexpensive sqounkers with terrible chipsets. Throw one of the JT/Wismec boards in them and you've got an affordable winner.

No sweat Bro. I got ta thinking about that and checked my SXMM TCR Setting. Actually set that one at 0370 so I already changed it over and; Mmmmm-Hmmmm Tasty :D
Thanks again for jarring my poor Old Mind about the Manual TCR Mode in the first place.

"Cheap Squonkers",,,, :?:
Nawwwww.

Maybe.

The Ultimate TCR List

At 189°C (372°F) the TCR is 0.003686

At 221°C (430°F) the TCR is 0.003681

At 233°C (451°F) the TCR is 0.003672

At 247°C (476°F) the TCR is 0.003685

At 258°C (496°F) the TCR is 0.003667

At 270°C (518°F) the TCR is 0.003661

At 287°C (549°F) the TCR is 0.003669

At 301°C (574°F) the TCR is 0.003659

The average of all these values is .0036725. If you vape at 450°F (233°C), then your TCR will need to be .00367. If you vape at 500°F (260°C) or above, then the standard value of .00366 is best.

"Hi. The "TCR in vaping range" is derived from the TFR curve between 20C and 300C, so this is a number produced by the calculator, not used by the calculator. The input to the calculator is the following table of temperature (C) versus resistance factor:

If you pull the TCR for a wider temperature range than 20C-300C, I suspect it will be closer to the 0.0035 standard TCR."

The way that those values jump at 247C and again at 287C kinda indicate an error either in experimental results or in recording/transposing the data.

You should use the mode appropriate to the type of wire... which you failed to mention. ;)

At 0.8 for a dual I'm guessing Kanthal or NiChrome so Power Mode, but let's make sure.


It is khanthal, and I didnt want to go anymore below .8 ohms since im new. Theres modes for nickel, stainless steel, and nickel but not kanthal so I wasnt sure.

All the modes you mention are for Temperature Control vaping. You don't want that. You simply want "power" mode.
