Rixsta, looks great man! I was in a shop and got to feel one, nice indeed. The shop owner told me it maxes at 40w. I know the Ni coils have lower resistances, but to keep it simple you and I vape at higher wattages. Will you be able to get the big flavor chasing hits similar to your sig with the snowwolf? Will you have to have it turn all the way up? Thanks sir.

Maxes out at 40w in temp mode ? If so it maxes out at 70w.
Can't you explain please, thank you.
I think my Starre Pro will be here tomorrow :) then I can try the nickel coils on this mod and let you guys/gals know.

Right, he says 150w on kanthal, then another 50w on pulse width modulation to 200w. With Ni he says it maxes to equivalent of 40w. I haven't researched enough but he is a knowledgeable dude even if this didn't make sense to me. So max temp with Ni is equal in vapor/heat/flavor to what kanthal wattage? Just trying to wrap my head around this. Thanks.

Interesting read, I have had this happen once, try hitting the fire button fast a few times, see if it changes the ohm reading, maybe unscrew and screw it back on, dunno, just a thought. It's happened on my Segelei 100w plus too, maybe a mod thing ..

One thing I will add, my Samsung 25r batteries weren't cutting it in the SnowWolf, I didn't think much of it but sometimes I would have to chain vape, about 3 hits before the warmth of the vape came through, hard to explain, I put some Efest 35A batteries in and , yes, big big difference. Then I saw that Asmodus recommend 30A batteries in this mod.
wow that is very interesting!! i've been struggling a bit getting the the vape up to temp as well using my 25R batteries. I have to set the temp to 500F and it still seems like it needs more. I'm so glad i ordered a pair of VTC5's that are on their way now so hopefully that will make the difference for me.

anyone know what kind of nickel coil to build dual coil with? I been tyring and for the life of me my 28g I cant get any working even with like 14 wraps and it looks just horrible and wicking is terrible
im using Ni200 28g and 8 wraps on 3mm give me .1 ohms. Used it like that for a couple days and then added a second coil and sure enough .05 ohms! i just finished with it and for now im liking it at 70 watts and 500F. im hoping with some 30 amp batteries i can go lower on the temp setting!

Has anybody had experience with running temp co trol with dual Ti coils on this? I ordered one and will be here Monday. I've tried nickel on my vaporflask that can't go u der .1 but it wasn't what I hoping to get out of it. Hoping the higher watts on a lower build and dual titanium coils will get me on the temp control wagon.

Sorry maybe I should have specified, I like to know if anybody has experience running dual Ti coils on a rda but if anybody has run dual Ti coils in a rta I am interested to hear about that also. Since I haven't used my Goblin in several months because I can't get the wicking right either I have dry hits or leaks using 70vg juice.

Rixsta, I don't have much experience with the sub ohm tanks. Has the Starre Pro have Ti or Ni coil heads that you have tried?
I recently got a Silo Beast and along with the Beast coil heads I bought some Atlantis V2 coil heads .3, .5 and the Ni from vapor shark and found the only one I didn't get a dry hit from was the .3 atlantis v2 coils but they didn't last long and need to order some more. Still have the nickel vapor shark coils will give those another try when the Snowwolf arrives.

420F is the scorch temperature of BONE DRY cotton. When wet with juice the scorch temperature of cotton is over 525F.

Do you plan on vaping your wicks until they are bone dry before adding juice? If not, why would you want such a low operating temperature? What exactly do you think you're achieving by having the operating temperature set so low that your wick can completely dry out before the temperature control kicks in?


Now, this is just my opinion, but I want my temp control coils to work just like my kanthal coils, except I don't want dry hits or burnt wicks. That means I would set the temp as high as a kathal coil would be if it was working right, which is right around 500F. High enough that the nickel coil works just like a kanthal coil when the wick is wet like it should be, but low enough that the temp protection kicks in when the wick starts to get a little bit dry, but before the temps get high enough to scorch the wick. Then, if the temp control kicks in and drastically reduces the power I know I need to either add more juice or fix the wick.

You're basically just setting it up to have a weak, underpowered vape at all times.




I agree, but it is what it is.


You seem to be misunderstanding how Temp control and Coils work in general.
Kantha does NOT run at 500F it starts off at room temp and continues to get hotter the longer power is applied as the wicking starts drying out.
Somewhere in the draw is the perfect temp where everything comes together.

Now, Tobacco Vapes need a bit more heat to be flavorful while Fruit type vapse are ruined by to much heat.

Most TC mods will let you set high enough to easily vaporize your preferred flavor at the correct temperature.
My preferred vape is 400 f at 30J. The SX mini M hits it almost instantly and holds it there. I had to switch to a Delrin insulator & delrin Tip because I like a longer vape and 400 F on a SS Tip is a bit HOT! :shock:

So I picked up this box last week. I also have the Freemax Pro and put a ni200 coil in. I'm using Sony 30a batteries. What is a good temp/watt to run? It hard to find a help post with a tc device using watts and not joules.
I'm using 45 watts, 500 degrees F.
