I see so you were just changing to C2: with a kanthal coil and it wouldn't fire it? Did it detect the correct resistance when you tried firing it while in C2? I haven't connected anything up in power mode but I probably will later today. But for now it's pretty late here so I'm off to bed.
yes, i thinked it does detect the correct resistance.

after failing to fire the kanthal coil, i can only adjust the configuration to "C3" which is Ni200 mode to have it fire with no prob. i then adjust it back to "C2" which is power mode, n it'll work again.

thx for ur reply vlad, do update us.

I setup 3 Configs one for Ti, Ni200 & Kanthal switching over as below and never encountered a problem changing to different atty's. Every time I switched to Kanthal it detected the atty resistance and fired fine. You might see if you can figure out how to duplicate the problem you had and the post back the exact steps and your specific configuration or maybe even upload your .sxc file.

what's .sxc file btw? i haven't update my device, n i could only adjust the configuration thru my ml class.

i'll try to switch the atty again n get back to u.

Oh I wasn't realizing that you were still on factory firmware. Once you update to the 2.102 you'll be able to do your configs through the SXI-Q software. That's where you can save off your .sxc files to share with others. Honestly I haven't saved one so I don't know exactly what settings are stored in them.

oic, i don own a window pc at the moment right now, but my son would get one soon:)

anyway, here's my configuration:

C1: Ti1
C2: Power
C3: Ni200
C4: Manual TCR
C5: SS304

2 atty with:
Kanthal coil
Titanium coil

vaping with titanium coil atty on C1 mode, i then turned off the device, switched the Ti1 atty to kanthal coil atty. turn on the device, adjust to C2, device failed to fire the kanthal tank.

i then adjust the configuration back to C1, tried firing it n received "dry coil, no liquid" signal. revert back to C2, couldn't fire atty too.

adjust it to C3, managed to fire the kanthal coil finally on Ni200 mode. i then adjust back to C2 again, n my device can fire it up with no prob now.

i realised the same thing happened when i use C5- SS304 mode. i don have stainless steel wire to try on yet, but i just test fire it with kanthal n Ti1 coil. with kanthal coil, the device couldn't fire the atty at all, even after i revert back to C2, it still couldn't fire. n i have to repeat the process of letting fire on C3- Ni200 mode for it to detect the tank. with Ti1 coil atty, the C5 would shows "dry coil no liquid" whenever i hit the fire button.

That's odd, when you say "device failed to fire the kanthal tank" what were the settings, Resistance reading and what was the message displayed? And what is the actual resistance of your build?

As to the display "dry coil no liquid" that is a normal message when the device believes the coil is dry. When using a higher TCR wire like Ti in a device configured for SS, the device sees the resistance rise much more than it expects for the SS setting and believes it has a dry coil. So that would be expected.

I cant revert to the factory firmware so I can't really try to duplicate what your doing. I would suggest contacting your vendor or go to them if they're local and have them update your device. I'm betting any support you go to that will be one of the first thing they'll ask.

other than the joule counter not moving like it would when u hit the fire button, the display on my screen is normal when i can't fire the kanthal tank, it didn't show up any special msg. the build was a dual clapton at 0.39ohm. but i tested with a single kanthal at 0.7ohm last nite too, n found the same situation.

the "dry coil no liquid" shows up even when i fire the kanthal tank on Ti1 mode, while i can use my ipv3 li to fire the kanthal coil on Ti1 mode.

i live in a country which banned ecig lol. i think i'll have to update the device to know if the problem is a bug or an isolated case. whichever the case, i can still get around the prob by adjusting the configuration mode to C3- ni200 to fire a kanthal coil b4 adjusting to C2- power.

I can fire Kanthal coil in Ti mode but it doesn't auto detect the resistance of the coil. So if I don't lock the resistance in it's much higher resistance than the previous Ti coil and thinks the coil is dry. I'm betting your not locking the resistance of the Kanthal coil when you try to fire it when in Ti mode? Not real sure how the IPV3 handles atty changes, wire types and resistances so may be comparing apples to oranges.

oh.. lol. i just tried to fire the kanthal coil on ti1 mode again. my C1 configuration setting ti1 mode was set at 0.11ohm with my billow tank. so when i switched to a 0.39 kanthal tank, it shows "dry coil no liquid" becos it detect a higher resistance. i had to locked the resistance again with my kanthal coil to let it fire in ti1 mode.

Yea I figured that's what was going on. Whenever in Temp mode it has to have resistance locked, in Power mode it auto senses the resistance. Although that's working it's not really going to work right. You might double check your configs and make sure that your setting for Power under Power & Joule has "Power" selected. And also once you've chosen that config on your main screen it should show "W" watts instead of "J" joules

yes i did a double triple checked. i switched the atty n clicked the fire button so many times the i thinked i've grown sm muscles on my knuckles lol. i believe its either my mod is defective, or its a bug.

however, there's no issue if i were to manually adjust the setting under the same configuration. say... under C1- which i set to Ti1 mode, if i were to switched a titanium coil tank to kanthal tank, n simply adjust it to power mode under the same C1 configuration setting, i can still fire up the kanthal tank with no prob. it only failed to fire up the kanthal tank if i switched it from C1(preset at Ti1 mode) to C2(preset at power mode).

guess i'll have to wait for my son's windows computer to arrived so i could perform an update to see if the prob can be rectify.

Fellow ML fans, I have a treat for you tonight :thumbs:
Been chatting with Nathan from Elevated Vape http://shop.elevatedvapeaccessories.com/category.sc?categoryId=
regarding an upgraded battery cap for the ML. The first batch are in the works now and should be ready by the end of the month, priced the same as the M series versions. Also international shipping is only $7.10 :)

Now here is a couple of pics of it, and it looks absolute quality!

Nice, I may end up grabbing one of them for the ML. I never had any problems with any of the caps on the M class's I have and could always just use my thumb. But this ML I've gotta use a coin even after dabbing it with a little gun grease. :(

I never had an M-class but was worried about the battery cap on the ML before getting one as I read so many complaints, to be honest from day 1 I've just used my thumb and had no issues at all, I've had mods with far better threads but they really are not bad. I just want one as they look so much nicer, if the threading is also an improvement it's a bonus.

There's a few people in this thread that have both the M and ML. They say the ML feels more ergonomic and they like the new SXi-Q software that fine tunes their vaping preferences. One person said he likes his ML better than his DNA 200.
I'm wondering the same. As soon as its in my hand(just found out It just shipped after 4 days from order).
