TFV4 - Check Atomizer Warning

[CMaxim]

Hi guys, I just picked up the TFV4 a few days ago. I having a problem with my mod when trying to screw the head on. I have tried countless time to assemble my tank making sure I have everything together good. There is no problem with my mod because when I put my Atlantis tank on it work perfectly fine.

Has anybody else know what's going on?

Thanks

What power device?
What resistance head?
Are you trying to install the head with the base still attached to you power device?

What power device? X-Cube 50w

What resistance head? I'm not sure I'm in answering it correctly but i was using the triple coil that came with the tank.

Are you trying to install the head with the base still attached to you power device? No

I'm really going crazy trying to figure this tank out, I do love it when it's working but I never had this many issues with my Atlantis tank!

The xcube 50 is capable of firing a minimum resistance of .2Ω.
The TF T3 replacement head is .2Ω.
It is normal for replacement heads to have a slight variance in resistance.
If your replacement head is even .001Ω lower than .2Ω it won't fire, or at the very least won't fire reliably.

The heads are marked with their resistance and it should show the resistance on the xcube display.

So even though it was working ok, it might not always work because I need a bigger mod? It was working ok until I tried to tighten and straighten the top of the tank because it appeared to be slightly crooked....

The size of the power device makes no difference.

The minimum resistance the power device is designed to fire does make a difference.
When you have the tfv4 on the xcube what does the resistance read?

 

[CMaxim]

I'm not sure because all I'm getting now is check atomizer

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Which means the resistance of the head is too low for the xcube to fire.

 

[CMaxim]

But it was working for a few days, so do you think I just need a higher watt mod?

 

[fenderstrat]

no its has nothing to do with wattage.Try a new coil.either the mod cant fire it or it has shorted

 

[Topwater Elvis]

No, if you just have to use that delivery device you'll need one that is capable of firing a lower minimum resistance.

Even if you get a mega watt power device it aint gonna work if it has a .3Ω minimum resistance.

 

[CMaxim]

Ok, it's too bad I only got this tank because it's the same brand as my mod. I may have to take it up to the vape shop tomorrow and see what else they have.

Thanks for the answers!

You could try a higher resistance atomizer and see if that works.

 

[CMaxim]

With my Atlantis Tank it reads .51 and works every time. With the Smok tank it only seemed to work if I messed around with it and then didn't mess around with it too much!

Kangertech Ni200 coils are rated .15, out of the 6 or so I have used since I got my subtank not one was above .14 and almost all were in the .135 range....having said that if your mod can fire down to .2 and you are using coils RATED for .2 its most likely your coils are less than .2 and therefore your mod wont fire them.....If you managed to do a short fire on the coil it raises the MEASURED resistance of the coil and may cause your mod to read it as above.2 which may explain why it worked sometimes but not others

 

[CMaxim]

Ok that make sense, when Uncle Sam gives me a refund I'll get a lower resistance Mod. I wish the guy at the vape shop told me that before selling me this tank!

You guys have been great!

Any suggestions on a better mod?

 

[fenderstrat]

you dont need a new mod or tank the tank you have has like 10 kinds of coils,just get one of the .5 coils for that tank and you will be good,from all I have read the TFV4 is an awesome tank,its all about the proper coil

edit... I see they have .4,.33,1.5ohm coils.these are a better choice for you
