Is that a silicone case on your mod ? I could only get mine in black and silver and i really wanted black but for the price i got it for i can't complain ,so i ordered a black silicone case for it from fasttech

Nope... no cases... don't use 'em. Fears of leaking tanks filling the case and ruining the mod haunt me.

On another note. I normal only vape at about 30w so should i set my watts at the same and then just keep upping the temperature till i fine a spot i like. And after i find the sweet spot do i need to lock that setting in.

That'll work. 'Cept you'll be setting Joules, not Watts. Mine is set at 60 Joules, but that just kick the coils in gear. The mod throttles is back...

Okay i see, so i set the Joules at 30 and then i start upping the temp from there? I was a little lost as my other Mods have wattage and i normally set them at 30w

Five clicks of thr fire button to get to the menu. Another click, and you'll see power mode, click up or down to get to Joules mode. Another click of the fire button takes you to Unit (C or F) selection. Click up or down to switch from one to t'other. Another fire button click reveals the Temp selection screen. I typically start at 420 F (215 C). Another click displays the Exit menu, and pressing up or down there exits. If you run past that, you'll see the system off/on menu, but continuing to click the fire button will take you 'round again.

Adjusting the Joules on the main screen simply increases or decreases the power fed to the coils when the button is pressed. The mod will throttle or increase to that setting depending on the resistance of the wire/temperature of the coil.

Thanks for that,i think i will understand it better when the Mod turns up in the next day or so

for TC.. i would avoid an alloy like NiFe (that's an iron-nickel alloy, most mods only do one type of metal)... stick to the basics, shawn is steering you right. once you've figured that out and have a mod that has a setting for NiFe, then i would try it.

Nice photo tutorial Shawn. Your spaced coils look way neater than mine ever do. Good thing I stick to contact as it's hard to ugly that up too much. Also nice fluffy wicking. I'll admit I do use less when I build on that tank, but whatever works. Next build I might try a little more and see. I always feel like more wick will get mucked up when I fit the base back into place on that tank.

Thanks for that i will keep that in mind. I have also been reading were some people are saying that titanium might not be safe to vape on as well.

it's a shame your mod doesn't do SS, it's my prefered TC if i'm going to use it.

I do have a Reuleaux RX200S that will SS and some .4 wire but i never had any luck using it,every time i hit the fire button it just got very hot and melted the wire

Ok... wow... that's odd... there's something seriously wrong, there. My Reuli's are fine with SS. What grade wire, what build, what settings on the mod?

The wire was 317L and it was .4 which I think is 26AWG i can't remember how many wraps I used but it was a twin coil in my Bellus. Maybe i had it setup wrong

 

[Shawn Hoefer]

The TCR value for 317L is .00094, but the stock SS setting should have worked.

A dual coil, 7 wraps on a 2.5 mm mandrel would have come out around .24 ohms. I wouldn't have set the wattage above 55. Thing is, SS can be run in wattage or TC, so unless you had the mod set to 200 watts, this should not have happened.

I only had the wattage set at 30 so i don't know why it happened,maybe its broke.

Hello everyone great site you have here.
I'm looking to have a go at TC and I will be using a IPV 4S on a Bellus rta. I don't think the IPV 4S has a setting for SS so I'm thinking that I will be using maybe Ni200 or Titanium wire I also hear good things about the NiFe30 wire. As the Bellus rta only has a small deck what do you guys think would be the best wire for a newbie like me to start with.
Thanks All

Welcome and glad you joined.

If a mod didn't have TC for SS I'd be looking for a new mod

Thanks for the help so far guys i really appreciate it. I didn't realize that T.C was so complicated. Just had a look on Stealthvape as i normally get my wire from there and sometimes from i think its called the Mesh-Company on E bay, and they seem to sell a few different types of wire

Tempered Ni200
NI200-Ribbon
Annealed Nickel-Ni200

Are any of them okay to use on the Bellus ?

Thanks All

I'd strongly recommend you to stay away from ni200. It has a high tcr, yes, but the low resistance and the softness of the material makes it difficult to work with. Ti01 is much better, and ss316 even more so.
