Time out!
What version is it?
Last I checked in everyone was saying use Ti in NI mode, the Beta needs to be reworked. Did I miss a change or are you just satisfied with it as is?
Normally when a Beta reaches approval it becomes the next official release. Is it?
Inquiring minds
* If you are referring to V2.23, I have had that sitting on the PC for over 2 months.
Agree with others. relative consistency should exist between modes.

I don't understand this either. Have refused to update based on the wishy-washy reviews here.
Just did the update to v 2.23 which seems, at least to me, to be giving a solid, consistent vape in Titanium mode: 0.25 ohm, 23J, 450 F.
What am I missing?
Time out!

I was talking about that one. It works fine, probably every bit as good as the Ti mode on your ipv d2. I don't know why people in this thread think the Ti mode is broke or needs to be re-done. I have read their posts, and understand they think there is an issue requiring them to put the temp higher than 'normal', but I still think they are just doing it wrong.
Nothing. It works fine.
I don't understand either. I'm using the Ti settings and everything vapes fine with a temp set at 400F.

I should really get with you offline and try to figure out the differences as I used you as a reference when purchasing my Ti since you had such great success with it from Unkamen. But 400F for me in Ti mode is weaker than a cigalike, no warmth and little vapor.
I just got my SXMM about a month or so ago and I'm 99% sure I have the v2.23. Will check when I change batteries. But have never seen Ti mode or ni mode. Only 'power' or 'joules'. Where do I find Ti mode? Or do I still need to do a firmware update. So far I haven't started using Ti so far not been an issue.
It's in the Sub menu system under "Coil Select" you can choose Ti01 or Ni200. If you don't have the "Coil Select" option you don't have the test firmware installed.
What are you using for an atty? I mostly use tanks, either a Ubertoot or a Kanger Subtank Mini. The only thing I can think of is that there might be some issues with attys that have relatively high or inconsistent internal resistance. I do use a Magma or a Manta dripper sometimes and both of those are fine too.
Duane
I do not have 'coil select' so I don't have test version. If I am not planning on using Ti right away is there any reason to update to the test version?
Not really. If you want more power in power mode, it also bumps that up to 75W, other than that, not really.
I almost always use Kanger Subtank mini's and none of them have high static resistance based on the results I get building ni200 and the expected results with Steam-engine are always pretty dead on.
Because of the "bad" reviews here I only had one tank set up for Ti: the Lemo 2...a least favorite, almost throw-away tank. Used previously with Ti before the 2.23 update, it was meh, nothing to cheer about. With the update in Ti-mode I have another usable atomizer.
Lesson: Ignore Internet Consensus. [emoji41]
You might want to explore wicking issues too. Too tight or too loose wicks can make things wonky and it's the most difficult thing to get consistent for me. I've had lots of weak vapes when I've had the wicks too tight. Just another possibility?
Duane
IDK, i could play around with that a little as that's one thing that is pretty hard to measure the tightness or looseness but if that's it I would expect similar type of experience with any type of coil I make since I basically do them all about the same. What I do with the wick is trim off a piece slightly larger than the coil, twist the end up a bit so I can run it through the coil, then once through pull / stretch it back and forth until I have just a slight amount of drag on the coil, Then i put the main lower portion of the chimney barrel on and trim the wicks off at the top of it. Fluff the ends then tuck them down onto the juice channels. Pre-juice the wick and put the top cap on and fill up the tank and close it up. I have on occasion made it a bit to loose doing it this way and it seems to snap / pop juice out at my mouth when this happens.
Wicking issues were definitely the problem I was having a couple of weeks ago with ni200 & my Lemo2. I at first thought that there was no way this was the issue, that it had to be a problem with my coil or with the Lemo2's positive pin connection. After redoing coils & even switching to my other Lemo2 I still had the same issue - not much vapor & the warmth of the vape would not go up even though I raised temp up over 500f.
Then focused on wick & used less cotton......same result. Next, I went in the opposite direction & used more cotton. Enough to where I was thinking "this has got to be too much". But to my surprise Lemo2 started to perform excellent.
@Vlad1, I use the same method you do on my Lemo. Make the cotton a little wider than coil so that it moves through coil but is snug. What I then changed was the length of the wicks. I started leaving them a little longer than top of chimney. Then fluffing really well & tucking down. I also make sure my juice channels are clear behind the cotton. Using MORE cotton has worked everytime on my Lemo2. Now, I am still having some issues if I use 80vg/20pg but anything 70vg/30pg or lower(which is pretty much all of my juices) everything is working great now.
