Need info on TC

[Imfallen_Angel]

Disappointing is one word.
I've had over 100 TC coils through/in my tanks (mostly gifted) and they are mostly useless. The only conclusion I can draw is you can only really set the watts to about the same as the Kanthal versions. The idea that the manufacturers can 'uprate' them is crazy. You might try running a 20w coil at 40w (trusting in the TC) but then you get a reverse vape. It hits hard for a second (literally) then cuts you down. The opposite is true of usual vaping. If you can bear it, it's great for coil life and peace of mind. Personally, I call it junk gimmicks.
However, throw some TC wire on a rebuildable and you might just get vaping nirvana. Great taste, no dry hits.

With my Melo 2 and all the other tanks we have at my house that takes the same coil cartridges, we've never had issues with NI coils.. but I did start to rebuild them as they didn't last long with the store liquids (until I started DIY)....

Hey guys.
I've been vaping for a very long time and just now I tried for the very first time TC and TCR... only problem is, I have no clue how it works properly. To be more precise, I'm using an Aspire Nautilus 2 with a 0.15 Ni200 and an eleaf istick power 80w 5000mah. (Typically on this mod I run a 0.7 Ω coil at 20w power mode). I've set the temp at 230°C and wattage at 40 but I keep getting a "temp protection " each time I fire it almost right away. If I raise the temp I get burnt taste... Any ideas or suggestions?
cheers!

"temp protect" isn't a warning, it's simply an indication that the mod has reached the temperature that you've set and the power is throttled to maintain but not exceed that temperature.

Thanks for your info guys. I think you might be correct, this particular ni200 coil must have been faulty or something but I'm not willing to pay for another just to make sure. I'll keep the Nautilus 2 for the 0.7's only.
Now since we're in topic... on my rebuildables I wind dual SS fused claptons (26awg core, 40awg winding), 9 wraps 3mm and they measure 0.171Ω which I vape under VW mode. What would the routine be if I decide to switch to TC ss with a fresh setup? Where should I start Watt-wise and temp wise?

Wise. I paid for only a few of the ones I've tried. Most were sent to me or came included in a tank kit.
I would guess there is nothing wrong with the coil you tried.

My regular setting for just about anything (SS with TC) is 45W, and temp, I usually start at 360F (around 180C) and go from there to either increase or lower to adjust to get the warmth I like. But that's with standard wire, so with claptons, you can start there and adjust accordingly.
