Got this today, straight outta the box been having low res issues. Tried with two tanks and several coils, no fix, or sometimes it will work for one or two hits then go back to low res. Also doesnt read resistance accurately and temperature control seemingly doesnt work, it doesnt noticably fire and resistance goes up from like .7 to 2.8 or something like that. Also get high res as well that doesnt let me vape. Considering returning it very disappointed.

Sorry to hear that. FWIW, I would try a single coil build using something like 7 turns of 28 gauge Ni200 with a 3mm ID (or any single coil Ni200 variation that gives you a resistance of about 0.1 ohm or more) on an atty that has a straight shot between the 510 and the coil (no KFv4 with all the monkey motion between all the components, in other words). If it still doesn't work right in TC mode, I would say it's defective.

    Humm.... I picked one up shortly after release for likely a whole bunch more than hopefully you did. ;) (long before the industry was including TCR adjustments)

    I recall one or more early users having issues with one or more of the screws on the top plate being loose and causing issues which may be similar to what your describing. Might be worth checking out.

    While the Reliant is now a rather old mod (in vaping terms) it does have a few redeeming features. Hopefully you can exchange it for one that works properly.
