Hi everyone,

The Evic Mini was recently upgraded to handle SS temperature control, and I am interested in trying it. I have an Aspire Triton and noticed the default sub ohm coils are SS (.3ohm and .4ohm). Would these be suitable for TC or would I need a special TC-SS coil. If my understanding is correct, it shouldn't matter.

Atomizer Coil for Aspire Eigate Triton Tank

0.3ohm Coil : 316L Stainless Steel Wire
0.4ohm Coil : 316L Stainless Steel Wire
1.8ohm Coil : Kanthal Wire

Thank you!

It'll work fine.

How i set the mini up:

Start in VW mode, start low and turn the wattage up until you get the vape you want.

Then switch to TC mode.

Set the watts the same as in VW mode and turn the "temp" all the way up (600F).

Using a mirror watch the "temp" as you take a normal puff. Remember the highest "temp" that you saw.

Set the "temp" limiter 10*F above that number.

Enjoy.

That method is ok for stainless steel. Do not do that with nickel or titanium. You don't want to overheat or "glow" Ni or Ti, which is very possible in VW mode. You will end up either inhaling nickel vapor, or creating titanium oxide, both of which are known carcinogens.

Sure you can. You are not going to dry-burn a wet coil and wick. The risk of hot legs is the same in VW mode as it is in TC mode.

NiO is not a carcinogen it's a regeneration inhibiter.

TiO2 is a irritant and listed as "possible carcinogenic to humans".

Please dont spread misinformation.

I doubt you will find many who recommend using nickel or titanium in VW mode for any reason. Not talking about dry burning cotton or hot legs, you can glow nickel or titanium with a wet wick in VW. You are picking nits with "regeneration inhibitor" and "possible carcinogen"", and by all means if you wish to use nickel and titanium in VW mode knock yourself out, but refrain from recommending reckless procedures to others.

Hmm, mine has Power- Bypass - Ni - Ti - SS. Is there a new update? I updated this one to 2.00 when it came out which provided SS and 75 watts.

And for those of us paying attention... those feature upgrades came in two separate updates. Weeks ago.

Yesterday we got TCR Adjust, and a new screen layout.
