Not near my computer right now, but firmware 1.10
Well as seeing some having some success, tried some of the example being posted with my prebuilt CLR-Ti coil, yea didn't work for me, still straight to protection and no more than 8 watts, tried twice and then gave up.

Have you ever got the new atty message? I've not seen it a single time before or after the firmware update. Has anyone else NEVER seen the new atty message AT ALL
Just checked mine. v1.00.
I much prefer my IPV D2. It's far less fiddly and just works, every time. I've also had two IPV 4s and they too worked perfectly. I'm glad some folks are having luck with the VTC Mini but mine is going bye-bye. I just don't have the patience to screw with this thing any further.
I just took the atty (cold) off the VTCm and put it on my Protovapor XPV-40D and guess what? It works like a ....ing champ. Same temp and wattage settings.
QUOTE="Jesse Wright, post: 16618116, member: 266535"]Perhaps it is the attys were using. Tanks/drippers of similar design seem to be doing a similar thing. Try unlocking your resistance if you feel like using a different atty tho.[/QUOTE]
It could be single contact pin have lesser issue on the jumpy resistance, been using KF & R91 unlock resistance with no issue on temp control.
My lemo and STM have to 2 contact pin and it just don't work as it is..btw, my dna and D2 have no issue using those attys.
Going to rebuild my TF GT 2 with nickel coil and see how it go..

I will check my Hardware Version later and report back. I have several times received the new atty message.

It's all good. I thought I read that you had locked your resistance so it's understandable. I've been picking my brain to try to narrow the problem down, as I've ordered this guy and don't want to experience these problems.
I have had the New Coil message numerous times. I have tried the fire a few times with no atty on the device to reset it like the manual states, but that doesn't work all the time. I have had it show up when a higher resistance atty is installed more often than a similar or lower resistance one.
Thanks inswva!
That is what I am thinking of doing. The VTC mini looks great and has some nice features but the constant hassle to get a TC coil to work is just too frustrating. I know the D2 has it's issues with the non usb charge port and a poor paint problem but if the TC works perfectly, then I'm all in.
I think you SHOULD bring the unit that is giving you so much trouble back and prove to them these issues exist and tell them you want one of these without the issues as a replacement or you want to return it and buy the IPV D2 instead. I think all of you that are having these problems should do the same.
They will only take these issues seriously for correction when they start getting malfunctioning units Q/Cd back to them for repair. When they realize the expense they are incurring because their products are malfunctioning, they will take steps to correct the issue.
Getting on this forum each night slogging about the malfunction endlessly isn't going to solve your problem; getting the bad unit replaced has a much better shot that it will. There are only so many times you can swing a bat at a dead horse before your arms get tired. Return the darn thing already and get something that works for you!

so i received my vtc mini on monday. I did the update and temp control with nickel is working great on my 3 smok TCT tanks and the prebuilt nickel coil in my zephyrus.
i tried a Ti build in my lemo and its just janky, however it doesnt work right on my ipv4 either so i have no reason to blame the mini. I have only gotten the new coil message when trying to do the titanium coils not nickel mode so idk whats up with that.
I do notice i have to run the temp at 490F on the mini vs the 460F on both my Ipv4 and Ipv3 li. but no complaints thus far. I have also tried a .14 ohm kanthal dripper build in bypass mode that worked very well at an indicated ~130 watts, it fired close to the same as a buddies parallel mech box
i guess i'm a lucky one lol

It think your result is typical. It seems there are too many people having difficulty for it to be user error but not enough people for it to be a design flaw. There has to duds out there IMO.
Regarding the Lemo, just go back through your connections. Make sure the center pin hasn't come loose as well as the adjustable 510. It's probably better to trap the leads under the screw heads then using the provided holes on the side.
I've had a great time using Ti in my Lemo drop. Several refillings and the res (locked) hasn't budged. Right after refilling it does read higher until I press the fire button. I figure that's the current resistance of the coil and it's higher from recent use.
Has anyone tried getting their defective device replaced directly by joyetech? I ordered mine from ecig.com I just checked their website and they only allow returns for DOA or wrong item, and only after 14 days at that. I ordered mine longer than 14 days ago, and even with this TC issue, it wouldn't really be considered DOA.
It's weird, I seem to be the only one who has NEVER, under any circumstance, seen the new atty screen. I've used three different coils all with different RES, and still no new atty screen.
On the plus side, ever since I fixed the TC issue last night by doing similar steps as others have posted, I haven't experienced the malfunction since. I'm not 100% sure, but I think I've only been experiencing the TC issue when my battery is lower on charge (<50%). I'm going to keep an eye on it over the next day or 2 to see if that proves true or not. Maybe when Joyetech was doing their testing they only tested with fully charged batteries or passthrough and that is why they missed the issue? Anyone else noticed their battery charge level when experiencing this issue?

Right then...
VTC is on 1.02 (that's 20 clicks from OFF, for those who want to check "in unit").
The only Ti I have is the 0.4 head that came with it's eGo tank. Anemic even at 530F.
Too many "solution" variations from this thread to go into... none worked.
Moved the tank to the D2... rockin' at 520. That seems high, but as I said... I don't know Ti at all.
Moved the 0.15 Ni Crown to the VTC... rockin' at 460F. That IS a bit high, but so far it's working.
Res is holding, locked in cold at 0.16.

Ditto on the Ecig.
I get the New/Same on occasion, but I've not seen a pattern.
Can you give a simple repeat of your procedure? What the hell, I can't have tried then all.
I have only had my VTC Mini for one day and I am still playing with, but yes, I have noticed that it doesn't vape well when the battery is low. Last night, I plugged it into my computer, which I know is not recommended, and it vaped great. I have been having the same issues with weak, no vapor problems as many others on this thread, so am following along hoping for a permanent fix.I was hoping this would be an upgrade from my IStick 40W TC, but so far, I am not so sure that it will be.
Mine vapes just as good on a low battery as a full one when the TC issue is NOT present, just that from what I can remember (wasn't paying attention at the time) the TC issue (maybe) tends to happen only/mostly when the battery is low.
