I take it you're using the prebuilt nickel coil heads from Kanger/vaporshark? I have had both and was never happy with the quality control on them. I'd look down into the atomizer head to see how the coil was wrapped and noticed on a lot of them that the coils were touching and also never liked how they were held in by the blue rubber grommet insulator thing(the more solid of a connection between the tank and device the better for temp control.) I noticed that with some heads I would never reach my my set temp limit(420° at 40 watts barely got me above 300° sometimes.) I stopped buying them and have been making my own in my lemo2 and Kanger sub mini with the rba. Plain Jane 28 gauge 9 wraps about .11ohms. Made sure to curl the wires under the screws and tightened them till they smiled. No problems since. Vapin at 470° 32 watts on my VS dna 40 right now, what a treat!
Yes, I am using kanger OCCs. That is what I thought problem might be but was not sure because I am new to temp. protect. New to making coils too. Going to order some nickel & try it in rba. I also may order some vapeonly like u have but for nautilus. I have both mini & regular. Which I love because I have never had a problem out of them and I like the Vape. Can u explain how the juice control ring works on those vapeonly coils. I don't have anything with juice control, only airflow control.

Right behind you...
It's pretty simple, if you use thicker juices, open the juice control, if you use runny juices, close it down. Coming from a tiny coil tight airflow, small wick, low wattage "tootle" tank like the Nautilus, I would expect most of your juices to be runny, high PG blends. Those are problematic with stock subtank-style coil heads because the holes for juice are much larger, there's a greater amount of wicking material, so you run the risk of flooding the tank (juice running into the bottom airflow section of the tank) and gurgling as well. A head with juice control lets you use up your old stock of runny juice before eventually placing an order for higher VG juices.

I might have to retract my previous statement about these vape-only ni200 Atlantis coils. I put it on my ipv4 and no matter what I try, adjusting joules, wattage, playing with the coil legs, not screwing my Atlantis all the way down, it says short after about 2.5 seconds after I hit the fire button on my ipv4. But works just fine on my VS DNA 40. More experimentation is needed. Here's pics of the juice control ring- open and closed. @Croak explained it best.

Here's a review of the Geeco 50w rDNA clone. Looks to be the same that fasttech sells.

its the same. Same crappy negative spring/soldered wire/accident-waiting-to-happen batt terminal. Overall it looks pretty nice though. Hope so as mine should arrive next week lol! Actually I ordfered the 60W version which now doesnt exist on tghe FT site and the V2 versions have been pulled also...i assume i will receive the 50W version which means I have the option of sending it back no questions asked if it turns out to be a dud..

What were the version 2's? Did they make a big screen ChiNA40 then pull it?

See this thread for a look at what they looked like. Interesting them getting pulled so fast - trademark issue perhaps? The photos of the V2s seemed to use some pics of genuine VS' (there was one pic with a VaporShark sticker on it)

But then why would they realise that two days in and not at the time.

Mine should be here next week as well. Ordered the 60w, but will be happy enough if I get the 50w. I've waited a long time for a rDNA clone and 50w should be enough for me. Weird that they've pulled the 60w versions as they still have the 60w of the flasks and the zero.

I gotta comment on that negative battery contact with the wire running through it to a brass pad. It looks to me to be a very good design, removes any voltage drop problem associated with passing current through a high carbon spring. Same is used on IPV2 and probably many more.

Those are the ones that have the big screen, right?

I haven't been following the thread recently, Has it been discussed as to why Fasttech pulled the 40w/50w/60w Temperature Controlled Vapor Flask listings from their site?
Hadn't seen that, but just checked. The rDNA clones are also gone. Glad mine has already shipped. Strangely, the temperature control Zero mods are still listed.

Not again, as long as it's not because their defective I'm kind of OK with it.
