Hi, and a post following on to a thread I can't reply to.

I registered to post a reply to this thread regarding the Apollo Reliant: Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support | Page 7 | E-Cigarette Forum

Unfortunately I can't until I have 5 posts so I figured I'd post my reply here

I've been playing with the Apollo Reliant and it's adjustable TCR which got me thinking about TC with stainless steel coils. This then got me thinking about the stock coils in the Aspire Triton.

The stock coils in the Aspire Triton are made of 316 stainless steel which has a TCR of 0.8x10^-8, could I make use of these coils as TC coils with this mod?

I set the device to a TCR of 10, set the temperature to 180C and the power to 60W and let her rip. A bit of an anaemic vape and the TC symbol was lit on the device after about 1 second of pressing the fire button. Cranked it up to 200C and we start getting a much better vape. A bit further to 220C and it was now too hot and tasting burned. Backed it back down to 210C and it's working fine.

This is very interesting as it appears that we can TC with SS coils on this mod, at least in a limited way.

I don't have any SS wire to do a cotton burn test and I'm not sure how I can test this further. I guess I can dry burn a coil and see if it goes in to thermal shutoff at 210C. I will have a play later.

Hello @rilot, welcome to the forum. You need to get 5 posts/reply's in to become a full member and have access to other parts of the forum. A reply in this thread, hello's in other new members thread, offering advice in other threads, etc.. will get your 5 posts in in no time at all. After you get 5 posts in, you have to wait till half past the hour for the forum to reset/update and then the forum will open up for you. It's an anti spam thingy that works well.

Apollo has a thread in the forum also.

Good luck in your journey.

Thanks. Sorry for the odd first post but I figured my post might be of interest to the guys who are testing the Reliant.
