hello
i have a bit of an issue when using my siren 2 GTA on TC mode

so i am a chain vaper who loves MTL and going after flavor

i have an SX Mini G-Class with the latest Firmware
my coil wire is 26g (SS 316L) 7 wraps spaced coil coming around (0.52 ohm)
i am vaping at 18 joule(whatts) and around 400F Temp
the tank after 3 puffs or so getting so hot that i feel that it's gonna explode
and if lower the temp the flavor go away and the cloud become way too less
any tips or help what should i do to get the most out of TC as i really have bad experience with it

i would look at where the coils are sitting in relation to the bell cap. it sounds like you are getting contact heat transfer to the bell. either that or you have some electric anomaly going on between the tank and mod. do you have any other tanks that you can test in TC with? i run a similar build in mine (6 wraps 26awg ss316l) but on a dna75 and have only once had an issue like what you describe. but that was me trying to run ss claptons in TC.

Hi and welcome,
Reduce the coil DIA to 2.5mm and position it low/close to the airflow.
Since you have SS wire, you can switch between TC and Watts/joules. Find the vape you like in "power mode" and then play with the TC a bit.
Are you using a preheat or boost setting within TC?
Depending on the flavour of the juice, you may be more or less impressed with the V2.

cheers
I

I might try a different gauge of wire. I'd also make sure you play around with your airflow settings, it has been my experience that my sirens work best with the airflow wide open. They tend to be fairly "thirsty" that way, but without enough airflow the Siren V2 can overheat. Depending on coil placement and mass of the coil, that can also happen.

Do you have the 22 mm version or the 24? You may want to try a little higher resistance coil, start in wattage mode to "dial in" where it's comfortable, and they try TC again. I have sort of a feeling that perhaps the mass of your build is too high, and resistance a little low. TC should take care of SOME of these issues, but even the best TC may not be able to "keep up" with a large build in a small tank, without adequate airflow and etc.

Best of luck,

Anna
