Ni200 dual coil 16.5 wraps per coil 30 gauge, .10 ohms and 350f at NORM mode. Soon I will try to up the ohms, however until then sometimes I am stuck pressing the fire button 3 or 4 times before it will fire in temperature control.

350 is too low you will hit temp protection in no time start @ 420F & make your way up to 480 or 500
I've seen this message too. I think it appears when, after a warning message appears, you press the fire button again too soon. It's like a second warning: stop pressing the fire button!
I have a question too. I made a titanium coil on a kayfun 3.2. On the istick 40 it reads 0.77 ohm. When I put it on the Koopor, it starts reading very high, over 2 ohm. After time that reading drops, whether I loosen the kayfun first or not, but doesn't reach the 0.77 reading. Maybe I have inadvertently changed the standard TCR value for titanium on the Koopor, I don't know. Can somebody tell me what that standard value is on the Koopor?
@jtpjc
Default TCR for TI is 0.00350
as of resistance did you try to manually set your initial resistance?
menu> setting> resistance> set init ohm

Thank you Gallant. My TCR setting was correct. As for the initial resistance: the Koopor, for some reason, allows only a very small change range around the initial resistance. Can't get it below 1.6 or something.
But I suddenly remembered a review by Phil Busardo. It was not about the Koopor 200, but about some other temperature controlled mod. He tried building a TC capable coil on a Kayfun, but couldn't get a constant reading, the ohmage was all over the place. Probably something to do with the Kayfun, he said. I think I have the same problem. Maybe the Kayfun simply isn't a good base for a temperature controllable coil. Kudos to the iStick 40 though, for reading a constant ohmage.

Maybe your coil is shorting out. All you can do with a Kayfun is make sure that the one side of the post is not touching the other side of the post until the very end of the wire, all you can do to make sure that the connection is good. However in my case, on a Goblin Mini, the vape is doing kinda badly because I'm rocking dual 16.5 wrap Ni200 30 gauge build. I would expect Titanium to work lots better, the reading you get is definitely incorrect, that would be like 30+ wraps of Titanium grade 1 30 gauge.
So a little update on that "DON'T ABUSE PROTECTS!" message, I made the inner diameter of the coil bigger, same dual coil 16.5 wraps Ni200 30 gauge and haven't gotten the message again. My guess is the ohms was bordering too low since it was right at .10 ohms. I will be checking it out tomorrow to see if there's any more problems, but so far so good. Whenever I get some cash flow I'm gonna try to use Titanium instead because I'm guessing the resistance on Ni200 is very low and causing me to need to make super big coils.
EDIT: Last night I had it occur one more time, after vaping on it for about 3 times in a row and then the coil cooling down. Seems when the coil goes below the temperature that the device thinks it will be at, the device thinks you're "abusing" the protects and that there is an atomizer short.

I have my sigelei 75 that you can set the wattage from 5 to 75 in temp mode.
You can set the wattage on pretty much every temp control device. Setting the wattage allows you to determine how long it takes to get up to temp if it all. If you wattage isn't set high enough you may never reach your set temp. How high you set it would be determined by the build and desired temp. Thats why you have things like preheat punch. Once it hits that temp then the mod self regulates. Not sure how mods without it determine wattage. I would guess based on base resistance and desired temp but that's not really a good way to do it. A .5 coil of 28g would require less power to get up to temp on the same amount of time as a .5 of 24g.
I bought the Koopor Plus 200W yesterday and I've vaped it from about 3pm yesterday until midnight. It 10am the next morning and I still show about 3/4 battery after 11 hours of vaping. Cool!
I started winding my own Kayfun coils a couple of years ago after being disgusted with all the pre-made coils for the Nautilus and other top of the line commercial coil tanks dying the first day. Most went open and I'm thinking that was solder melt on the hybrid wires.
Now, I'm seeing tanks designed for TC pre-made coils and people are saying that after a week the coil and the cotton wick are absolutely pristine ... no sign of gumming or burning. I'd be interested in trying premade coils if TC performs that well.
Anyone tried a TC designed tank with factory coils that performs without having to use a new coil every day?

All NI & TI factory coils work fine on the plus
SS TC function is not working on the plus it reverts back to power mode
I must have got lucky, i got mine yesterday, and my 26ga spaced 10 wrap .33 ohm dual ss316 coil has been great in ss316 tc dual coil mode at 420 degrees
while i do like and use my koopor mini the shoddy way they went about the firmware upgrade turned me way off. i would never buy another one of their products. the evic mini and their other products have my loyalty now.
Anyone get ss430 to work in TC mode? Can't get it to work with its proper TCR. Tried it with a couple coils all dry burned well, cooled, and resistance is reading its correct resistance.
Can't seem to get 316L working in tc well. Won't read above 176f clearly it's hotter than that, gonna try messing with the tcr values tomorrow and see if I can get it to burn cotton at the correct temp. I've read people using it at 67 and 75 for more accurate readings we'll see what happens tomorrow night
