R-Steam 80W TC Mod issue

[famousjaxx]

Hi everyone,

New vaper here - like many of you i've gotten into vaping as an alternative to cigarettes and i'm finding it great!

Does anyone else have the R-Steam Mini mod from the smok One Nano kit? I'm having an issue with it using temperature control with the included stainless steel dual coil where it goes into temperature protection within 2-3 seconds of pressing the fire button.

I'm running it at 280 degrees celcius in temp mode and it's set to the dual steel coil setting at .25 ohms which I believe is all correct. If I turn the temperature down I get virtually no cloud at all and it still goes into temp protection mode.

I feel like I might be missing something obvious here - any advice?

Regards,

Jayson

Welcome Jayson, can't help you with your problem as I'm not familiar with your device. I'm sure someone will help you out shortly.

Appreciate the response regardless tpedwards!
I'm wondering whether the coil's just knackered 'cause i'm getting no flavour either. I don't have any spares to test unfortunately as it's a little hard to source the TFV4 Mini coils where I am

It could be a wonky connection causing it to throw you out of TC mode - SS coils can also be used in Watt mode. Maybe try that and see how the coils behaves/tastes.

Ni and Ti coils should only be used in TC mode, BTW - only SS coils are suitable to use in both modes.

Yeah i've switched it to watt mode for now any that's giving a more consistent pull now. Still bland taste but I'm thinking that's the coil still. I'll be getting some more next week - any advantage using NI or Ti coils over SS?

Not in my experience, SS316 made me a believer..

 

[Continuity]

No advantage really in vape quality and taste - Ni and Ti coils are easier for the mod to power in TC mode as they have a large change in resistance as they heat up - SS only changes very little, making it harder for the mod's chipset to track the change.

Most people find the flavour profile from SS coils to be better, or at least the same as Kanthal etc.

You could always try cleaning the old heads, and then drying them out, if the wicks are dirty.
