JAC Vapour Series-B DNA 75w

[Jumpin' In...]

tanks that were designed before TC was introduced were not so concerned about ensuring a steady resistance...crucial to TC. The K4 came out before TC was a viable option.

The KF4's (clone or original) were/are known to have potential issues w/ TC vaping. The 'spring' in the 510 connection caused minor fluctuations in Ωs driving TC mods a bit crazy. One of the 'fixes' was a 'gold' spring to replace the original for better conductivity.

Exactly that. Sometimes it works fine, then next thing I know it won't fire or pops out of TC or produces an anemic vape. When it works, it's great. Really great. When it doesn't, I want to throw it (I call it "Baby Nuke") at a wall -- except fixing walls is too expensive.

Can't take a tank like that out of the house if you want to run in TC mode.

OK, well that settles it I guess. I doubt if any of my rebuildables would be suitable, and the few tanks I have that use Nauti mini coils, I have invested fairly heavily in getting a good sized stash of coils. I think it's too late to turn around now, for me anyway.

Well, I dunno what you got, but I think the KFv4 is a special case because there are so many parts to it. I would think most rebuildable tanks would be ok.

That's a pretty sweeping conclusion ... do you have KFL-Lite in your collection? My wife is quite satisfied using a KFL-Lite w/ a DNA 75 in TC mod. And believe me ... she loves her KFL-Lites atop a Radius.

Other than the kfl shorties, I have some ego one megas that I use the CLR heads in, and a couple SXK Doggy's, SXK Ecocet, and a ST mini RBA plus. That's about it.

All my Doggys work perfectly in TC, SXK and SJMY.

The CLRs work fine for me in a Tron-S and a Totally Wicked Odyssey CLL tank. Bet the Ego One would work fine, but I'm pretty sure @pufZeppelin could confirm that.

Ok, I will play with the kfl that is on the JAC and if it's problematic, I'll try one of the Doggy's on it. I've got everything so settled, and routine, that I need something to play around with.

My understanding also is that the KFLs work much better under TC than the K4's ever did. As Jumpin points out, the K4's were rather complex using numerous parts which introduced all kinds of fluctuating resistance problems in TC. The subsequent Svoemesto releases (KM3 and K5) have NOT had these same fluctuating resistance issues as the K4. In fact, I am using a K5 now using TC. No wackiness at all.

Do it for the fun of it and don't pressure yourself into thinking you have to do it. Consider it the "hobby" part of vaping.

Only five of my sixteen mods that are in use every day are TC capable. What if I tried TC and decided, OMG, I can't vape any other way now, What to do? At this point I don't want to have to switch over, however, recent posts I have read on how easy TC is, makes me want to give it a try, since I already have some SS wire I'm not using.

I'm going to give it a try, but I'm pretty sure even if I do like what it brings to the table, I'll still be filling up my squonk bottles and hitting away at whatever the current level of charge on the battery in my REO can deliver and then there's the hundreds of BVC coils in the stash that need using up. Like @DPLongo22 said, it's a pretty good bet something else is what's gonna get me in the end

I'm a hobbyist vaper and just want to see what TC brings to the table...

Exactly.

My thinking also.

I got an SS coil made, 2.5mm, 30gage, 8 wrap, and it test out at 1.6Ω. I'll get it changed out on the kfl that's on the Jac at some point today. I normally vape at around 8-9 watts, where would a good starting point for watts be? I'll set temp low and go from there.

 

[vapdivrr]

My question: is there any real reason I should use temp control? I vape at mostly 1.5 - 1.8 ohms, occasionally lower but never under 1 ohm, at between 10-14 watts usually (mostly around 12). I take short shallow MtL draws, around 2 seconds. I don't get dry hits unless I run out of juice.

But, crucially, all my tanks are small, with small decks and small chimneys (mostly KF3 minis, but also others, like Goblin Mini, doggystyle). In order to use TC, I'd need to build (SS/N/T) coils with a LOT more wraps, which is really a huge, huge, pain in the patootie, and I like the vape less with these coils. I can barely cram an SS coil in there, and I'm really nervous about getting a short with these overlong coils.

Am I supposed to start subohming in order to be able to do TC, or is TC more something that is FOR people who subohm?

It definitely can't hurt using tc, and I suppose those one or two puffs when you run out of juice is safer with tc, but as for the consistency of the vape with tc on a 2 second pull, I just don't see it.

I'm thinking that for when I'm sitting at the computer vaping away with a dripper, it might save me from those OMG I ran my wick dry moments

 

[dobroeutro]

An interesting & informative topic some may want to check out... Is TC an option for me?

 

[oplholik]

It seems like a good idea for a dripper, in that area all I have are Reos, no tc there. I rarely if ever get a dry hit on a tank. It has happened, if my wicking isn't just right, but not very often. Usually I will have a problem of it wicking too well.

 

[oplholik]

I think the hard part is going to be getting that danged booklet from the Jac unwound enough to read it. I reversed rolled it and will let it set that way while I go get my hamburger for lunch.

Thanks, dobroeutro, I had missed that, and it's useful!

does everybody remember we used to use VOLTS
then a break-thru appeared and you could VARY the output of the VOLTS (variable volts (VV)

then we started with WATTS controlling our output (evolv has a U.S. Patent on Watts in a mod)
then yep, now able to adjust the Wattage output (VW)

then the ability to control the TEMP was introduced (evolv again)

so to recap, now we can;
•control the TEMP
•control the watts
•and put little pictures on our mod's display screen

-I can do without the little pictures
-I play with TC
-but I really like to play with my Watts adjustment
