Ok so I've had my ipv4s for about a week now and I've been having a problem with tc. I have a maganus vapeston tank with a ni200 coil at .25 ohms and sais 80watts on it. I set the temp to 300f and no matter what joules I set it at I just get a burnt taste, but if I take the tank off and put it on my istick tc40w and puff it a couple times the flavor comes right back. I've tried different coils different liquid and get same result. I'm lost any other info you need let me know. I just wanna enjoy my ipv4s!

Are you "setting" the resistance when you install the TC tank?

Most (i believe) of Yihi's TC chips require you to "set" the resistance when you install a new TC coil, believe it is done by pushing the up/down buttons simultaneously.

Best of luck!

    Sorry if this is rather obvious but when you set the resistance via the up+down buttons is the tank room temperature?

    There have been times where I've forgotten to allow my tank to cool off while switching mods and so I always make sure I make note of the displayed resistance. If it reads even just a little higher resistance than what I expect that is a clue for me to WAIT and attempt to lock the resistance 1-5min later.

    I've had a 0.351ohm coil measure at 0.368ohms and then produce unsatisfactory hits/pulls. So in my personal experience a difference of as little as +0.01ohms can make a BIG difference.

    Ive dont that.... bounced a tank from one mod onto another right after using. set the resistance and it was up at .8!!! This on a .08 build. Yea I sat it under the AC vent for a couple mins then let it rest. tried resetting it and it was back at .08.

    This is why I got rid of my IPV4. I had the same problem. I always got a burnt taste when trying to use temp control. This problem, to a lesser extent, seems to plague my Sigelei 150 TC (which uses the same YiHi chip) as well. A nickel coil in a tank seems to work fine, but when I use a RDA with a nickel coil on it, I get the beginnings of a burnt taste when I take a long hit on it. I can then take the same RDA, put it onto a Sigelei 75 TC and it will vape fine. What I have found is that with a YiHi TC chip in the mod, I have to set the temperature to about 50 degrees F cooler than on any of my other TC mods to get the same perceived temperature vape.
