first nickel build on sx m-class subtank mini rba

well--discovered that i had it set to 300 celsius which was the highest temp setting--no wonder it burned...have adjusted to farenheit 420 degrees and will see how it acts when the juice is finished

When you built your coil and sync'd it to the device were the room temperatures the same for the atty and the device?

yes -same temps

THX.... was reading this thread and when I saw the "wick burned" comment it peaked my interest...

thats isnt true Im afraid...the device is seeing the average resistance of the whole conductive path - 510 pin, atty, coil etc - and its calculations are based on the assumption that there arent any major inconsitencies in that path - a major hotspot such as a hot leg will screw the whole calibration and strange things will happen I fear..

^^^^^
That sounds like what's happening.
Temperature control cannot detect a hotspot.

300C is 572F which is hot enough to char cotton.

yes---and i kept on firing it after the juice was gone--that is what charred the cotton

I've been running mine at the same temperature setting (420F) for going on two weeks and have had no dry hits, no scorched wicks and a very pleasant vape. In a dripper, I even run it dry when switching between flavors.

whoops! That will do it! I thought 300F sounded pretty low for what you were doing. Oh well, we live and learn! Hope its working ok now...try 400F and around 20J and go from there.

I've done three nickel builds since getting my 2 SX minis and not a problem one. I've twisted 2 strands of 30g with 8 wraps, comes out to 0.086 set to 420F at 30J. I get nothing but consistent vape. I do a cotton dry burn test on each one to make sure there are no hot spots.
