actually i didn't. but i spent the last two hours changing my coils n wicking it, setting the resistance again n again n it still showed "dry coil, no liquid". but it was until my last try that i managed to nailed it. i think i failed on my previous attempt because of the wicking. it seems like u have to wicked it perfectly for temp control to worked.

i just started using TC mod ytd, titanium on my ipv3li n subtank. i have no problem setting it up on my 1st try. however, after finishing my 1st tank of juice, my mod couldn't fire n keeps listing "dry coil" even though i refilled my tank n dripped on the coil.

pls help

did you unscrew the 510 connector ?
you can refill the subtank without interfering with the 510 connection.

i unscrewed the 510 because my tank was screwed too tight on the connector. after refilling n screwing back the subtank, i didn't know i have to set the resistance again. n so i get tis "dry coil, no liquid" stuffs showing on my screen till i decided to changed a new coil. the problem didn't go away after changing the 1st coil n setting the resistance. the coil n cotton was burned during the dry burn test(guessed i didn't wait for the temp to cool b4 setting resistance).

so i decided to build another coil on it. it passed the dry burn test, but it still reads "dry coil, no liquid" even after u dripped juice on it. i rewicked it again n fired it at 30j but still it failed, although it does fire for about few seconds b4 pausing. i try setting the joule n temp to the minimum, it does fired up on the min setting. i then screwed the tank back on n worked the joule n temp way up to again. it works.
:rickroll:

Your above the highest ohm limit for temp control.
I see no mention of what ohm reading your build is. You did mention you built a new coil. I'm going to assume you have a deck for this, right?

High ohm limit for TC might be ~.5 or even .45 on the Li, maybe even .9 I don't remember atm.

I think possibly your setting your coils resistance when they still have heat in them. That messes it up sometimes on my ipv3 li vr. let the coil sit for 3 hours or so and get to room temp then set the resistance. Hope this helps.
3hrs? i only waited about 10min for the coil to cool down, maybe 10. the first attempt i burned my coil i probably waited about 5min b4 setting the resistance. u r probably rite, the coil didn't cool down enough b4 i set the resistance.

i can't remember the ohms. one of the coil she be 0.36 phil the other is above 0.5.

i don't have a deck, i use my mod to read.

Understood.
I've never used titanium coils, or built with it as of yet myself. I do read though it can be finicky.
Though, with the IPV3 Li, you make sure it is set for titanium, right? Not ni200

yes, it's set for titanium. a friend build the coils for me, twisted. i thinked it's either becos i didn't wick it properly, or didn't wait for the coil to cool down enough b4 setting the resistance thats causing the problem. it does taste good, but i couldn't compared to nickel as i've never tried nickel build yet. however, one thing i realised since jumping on temp control is that it really consumed juice.

yea you for sure have to wait longer than that. these coils hold a lot of heat even if it feels cool to the touch it still might need to cool down. I just tested my coil (.273) trying to set it after 5 minutes of vaping and it registered as .301 I normally vape at 435 and had to turn it down all the way to 345 to get the same feel when i had the wrong resistance set.

i waited at most 10min b4 setting the resistance, maybe tats y i get tis "dry coil, no liquid" stuffs. i still tht i purchased a faulty mod lol. i'll be more patient in the future. :)
