SS coils in non TC mode

[Neiledward]

Hey all. Long time. Was wondering if anyone out there has or knows for sure if you can use stainless steel coils in non TC mode. I have an innokin cool fire IV plus I haven't used much lately but I ordered some 0.5 ss bvc coils instead of my regular clapton bvc coils maybe by accident but I was thinking I read a few different accounts of ss being no problem with non TC.... Until today I got the coils.

Yes,you can,that's all i use now is stainless and i do not use temp control.In fact,i even run stainless on my mech mods,which obviously don't have temp control haha.

Edit-I don't use those prebuilt coils though,i just noticed your picture says only use with temp control.Not sure why,unless they use a different stainless wire than i do,but i think stainless wire should all be the same.

Yeah the wording on the box worries me. I emailed innokin but I was sure you could use ss in non TC....

 

[Neiledward]

No reply from innokin but I will post when they email. Kinda blows my mind.

No problems in power mode at all.

No problems in power mode at all.

That's what I thought but should I worry about innokins warning about battery explosion on the ss coil package?

 

[Rule62]

I use mechanicals only. I don't own a regulated mod, TC or otherwise. I run 316L SS all the time.

As long as the resistance is above tge minimum resistance should be NO problem.

Battery. Exploding is usually only a problem on mech mods.

Regulated mods are much safer. Just don't go too low on your resistance.

 

[Neiledward]

0.5 is what these are

 

[tpedwards]

You'll be absolutely fine. I've run pre-built coils and rba ss coils in power/ wattage mode for a while and no issues.

As long as you have good quality batteries such as Samsung, LG, OR Sony you wont have any problems.

Samsung and Sony are all I have. Thanks

At least 3 different stainless alloys in use and some wire is better than others. If it only says "stainless" I assume 316L; not 304 or 317.

My Coolfire runs stainless in both. Somtimes it is the same coil depending on my mood : >

I wouldn't assume that. There are many many alloys of stainless steel. If something was just labeled 'stainless', it could be one of many things. I wouldn't assume 316L. It's more expensive than 304.

These say 316L on the packaging

My cool fire IV plus is not a TC device

The difference between 316L and 316 is the carbon content. 316L has 1/2 the carbon content of 316. Otherwise, the alloys are the same.
