Focalecig chat...Part 2

[eLefAdEr]

I think I got it figured out, well am vaping on it now, so that's a good start, I just got to remember which way turns off the juice control.

To start with it wouldn't read my coil on anything, added a small oring to the 510 pin, so it stuck out more and that seems to of fixed it.

I like my Tobeco KF4 clone... well, "liked." I decided to install one of those plastic bellcaps for a different look, and now I can't get the base section fully disassembled; it feels like the small spring has seized up and/or snagged on something, and the usual tricks to get seized mod/atty parts unstuck aren't working. So my advice is to not over-tighten anything. It does have a bit of a learning curve with the airflow control, so take it slow.

I can't believe they designed the air flow like that, why didn't they just make that ring with holes in adjustable, I guess you only need to set it once, but still a silly design though.

I removed the little airflow pin completely.

Have to use a small Allen key into the air slot sometimes to remove the base to change coils and wick.

My Inoy is one city away. It should be here tomorrow.

And, it's here

I've run through about 5 ml of e-liquid on a .6 dual coil build in my Hobo V3 at 34 watts. It seems to suck battery a bit. The edges are indeed sharpish. I thought I ordered the black one, but, oh well...

And I appear to have been in error. I did order the silver one. But, now I'm wondering why I ordered a black atty...

Let us know if it wakes up at max watts after it goes to sleep for more than an hour. My black one doesn't but the older ones did. Seems like they did a firmware revision along the way.

 

[hobbes4]

still waiting for mine.

Looks nicer than I thought. If you wanted to round the edges, which would be easy with the aluminum, it's good that it's not black.

My black group buy one does default to 60W, but for some reason they shipped it to me early, so obviously I got an older version.

 

[fishwater]

My group buy doesn't default but I just picked up the silver graphic version from the classifieds which does default. I sent an email to Kangxin asking if there's a firmware upgrade but haven't heard back. I'm not on Facebook but I wonder if they have a page there? They definitely did some type of upgrade & with USB on board if they released it then it could be upgraded by an owner.

I haven't set it down long enough, but u did pop the battery out and back in. Came back at the same 34 watts...

I'll let you know if I ever let it go to sleep...

Lol! I purposefully let it sleep an hour on day one to find out. I do really like the mod though.

Had a chance to pick mine up and try it out tonight GMT from the FC GB, what's with the refresh rate on the screen! And someone please tell me there is a way to change the Nickel Purity option? I haven't figured out how to yet!

To display the option 5 clicks to lock > press both option buttons (change temp) > press both options buttons + fire

Edit **** the screen reminds of a Vamo circa 2013

Resistance seems to be accurate (SX350J and DNA200), I use TC on my mods about 99% of the time these days. I never use NI200 wire test vaped a NiFe52 @ .2 coil using the offset TCR @ 170C (I'm in Europe!) seems good so far.

Edit 2 ****
OK to change the TCR remove atty, lock 5 clicks > press fire + option + & - simultaneously you will get the below screen + / - to alter the setting tried 53 for NiFe52 set to 210C hits temp protection without burning and vapes ok. I have no idea of the NP setting for each wire on these boards but I am guessing its the same as the SKX boards. Does anyone have a list for each wire type?

Vape on!

Built a single, stainless steel (430 SS) coil in my Low Pro. Came out to .8 Ohms. Set the Nickel Purity to 14, and it was a little cool. Bumped it up to 15, and it seems better. No dry hits. The chip is doing its job well.

 

[roxynoodle]

Whoa, the Inoy has tcr?

 

[fishwater]

Whoa is right! I had no idea it had TCR, that's awesome.

 

[Shawn Hoefer]

I asked about it once and never heard anything. I didn't know it had TCR until it was mentioned here. Never used NP before, so I'm very happy it works!

Well, dang! I thought it was a DNA40 clone. Now I like it that much more I may grab another next month.

 

[hobbes4]

My Inoy is finally out for delivery.

Anybody know where i can get the SS Hobo V3 with bottom feeder pin? FC and FT only have black. GearBest has it in SS but i'd rather order from somewhere else.
