Hi all!
Some time ago I wanted to try out temperature controlled vaping, so I got myself a Joyetech Primo Mini mod and a Joyetech Cubis 2 tank.
In general it kind of works for me but there are some very annoying things happening from time to time, usually after a coil swap.
The first time using the combo with the stock firmware and the included 0.6Ω SS316 coil resulted in a way too hot vape, the wattage jumped up to 30 watts regardless of what I set it to (12-15W). Next I flashed the ArcticFox firmware, this resolved the wattage issue.
I noticed the 0.6Ω coil wick was already burned so I binned it after the firmware change.
Next I used a 1.0Ω SS316 coil, locked the base resistance and set the mod to 12W, 240°C. Now, immediately after pressing the fire button the wattage drops off to less than 1W and the temperature display shows it is limiting at the set 240°C, even when I'm inhaling DL with the airflow completely open. In this situation I get almost no vapor, the temperature is clearly not anywhere close to the set temperature.
After fiddling with the settings I could not get a satisfactory vape out of the TCR mode, so the last few weeks I just used it in wattage mode.
Today I tried once again with another 1.0Ω SS316 coil, and the same settings as before. Now the temperature (according to the mod) does not even rise above 50°C while the vape is definitely way hotter than that. It's exactly the opposite behavior of the first 1.0Ω coil I used.
I can't see any pattern in this behavior. I am using the correct mode of temp. control (SS316 mode) for the coils I'm using (Joyetech ProC-BF 0.6Ω and 1.0Ω).
I'm starting to suspect the quality control of the stock Joyetech coils (or lack thereof). Has anyone else experienced a similar thing?
