Just got mine in.
Anyone run dual coil Ti on this?
What ohm range should I aim for for TC with Ti duals?

I know my rx200 has issues with dual Ti coils unless im close to .5 ohm

Being a 2-3 year long reo vaper I was pretty excited to try TC and a regulated squonker box mod. Put my order in 3-4 weeks ago and waited,waited,waited..... finally get the mod and it just says "no atomizer".... ive tried 6 different tanks / rdas I have and "no atomizer"

Really?

On top of that.... on steamcraves facebook page they made a video saying how recently workers forgot to install an o-ring so they leak and the videos res is so bad, you cant even see where the oring goes so I cant even check to see if mines missing. Not that it matters since my mod dont work anyway.

I was going to get a 60w squonker inoy for cheap but figured since my steamcrave aromamizer rdta is so nice.... there mod must be worth the extra price.

Minus $130 and 3 weeks later I have a mod that doesnt work and that would leak if it did work. Now what....pay to ship it back to china and wait 2 months for a new one?

Sorry about the rant.... just sucks to check tracking and impatiently wait for 3 weeks to get a leaky paperweight.

Anyone experience the "no atomizer" issue?

Its spring loaded. Just got it today. Its making contact i can see the brass springloaded 510 mechanism depress when I got the door off and screw my rda on. Also tried a rda with adjustable pin screwed far out.
You should contact SC for replacement
Btw I've posted some photo on SC fb group

Got mine for a few days now. It's great comparing to my experience with, Owl, Reo clone, S-Body S-Ca3.

It doesn't leak and light in weight. I'm don't have enough knowledge with builds on a mech.

A few things to mention though. The battery removal ribbon is not right. I end up breaking the squonking tube when trying to remove the battery with a screw driver.

Battery, it took me, a day, 2 batteries instead of one on other single 18650 regulated MOD

Maggie has me checking solder joints n stuff which is ok since id rather reflow a solder joint or fix something instead of sending back to china but Ive looked everything over and everything looks ok.
She mentioned sending me a new one by dhl later... not sure yet what exactly she meant.

we will see.
Where exactly does this o-ring go that workers forgot to install? I looked on their FB page but didnt see your pics subohmies

If it's anything like the experience I had with Maggie, what she meant is she will have a new mod on its way to you ASAP. When I contacted her about replacing my V1 with a V2, I had a new mod in my hands free of charge a few weeks later. The delay was due to them being low on stock. I exchanged a few emails with her, outlined my complaints about the V1, and she told me not to worry and the V2 should solve my problems. I've been very happy with it so far and the TC actually works this time around (though it does seem to struggle a bit with titanium coils when their resistance is closer to the mod's lower limits).

I wish I could help you with your problem, because I think this mod is an incredible value. Maggie was awesome to work with, and I'm sure she'll take care of you.

Loosen the grub on the pos contacts and you can push the pin out
Make sure you take out your batt before doing this.

Hopefully you guys can help me out.
Through maggie and myselfs emails reguarding the faulty mod... I mentioned I had a voltmeter and if she needed me to test something I could.

After she had me check the 510 pin and try a different rda to confirm the mod was not working..... She agreed to send me a new mod but would like me to first "send a pic of my voltmeter reading"

What exactly should I test and what setting when taking this picture to show the mod is not working?

If I test continuity from the the red and black leads it would just show a closed circuit whether the pcb was bad or not.

If I take reading on the 510 it wouldnt show anything unless firing the mod correct?

Any help is appreciated

I took a detailed video of the problem. Hopefully she will get a new mod out to me.

I striped the whole mod down and all the connections were good, it was missing the 510 o-ring and added one for shytes n giggles.

It just wont recognize an atty. If I dont have to send this one back I will have some spare parts I guess. Any ideas if I could throw a different chip in there?
