Looking and finding answers to my questions is a hard thing to do. It's scattered and it's often different, based on all kinds of experiences/opinions. Tomorrow I'll receive my Rx200 and SS316L, and i would like to know if the following statements are correct;

The RX200 has - after updating to the new firmware (3.10) - the option to use a SS TC mode. This works when doing single coil SS. Correct?

When doing dual coil, it's required to manually set the TCR This TCR has to be 92, however, it can also be upto 130. This has to be found out by trial&error. So 92 is (as I am always using dual coil) not the proper setting. Correct?

When using the SS coil on TC, I can switch to Power mode and push as much wattages as I like my vape to be (depending on the coil build of course. Can't push 150w or more on some small micro coil which I understand). Switching back from power to TC, with the same coil being used is not an issue either. Correct?

No need to lock ohms on the RX when using SS TC ( I had a Yihi prior to the RX, used Ni200 and locking was mandatory on it. Is isn't with the RX I've read) Correct?

SS can still be used on semi-crazy builds on drippers such as Temple 30mm without issue. Correct?

Hope all of the statements/questions are answered with a "yes", if not I do have lots of more reading to do

Thanks in advance :)

SS TC / Single coil - Yes

Dual coil - No - you can still use SS mode. You can use single and dual coil in SS mode and you can use both with a custom TCR (e.g. 92)

Power mode / switching back and forth - Yes

Locking - I normally lock, I sometimes forget- works either way reasonably well for me.

Semi-crazy builds- can't comment as I've not tried but can't see why not.

Ss tc is an option already on earlier firmwares. 3.1 only adds the option to go up to 250w (don't do that unless you're really, really sure your batteries can handle it).

When doing dual coil, it's required to manually set the TCR This TCR has to be 92, however, it can also be upto 130. This has to be found out by trial&error. So 92 is (as I am always using dual coil) not the proper setting. Correct?

Incorrect. The tcr of a specific material is not dependent on the number of coils.

When using the SS coil on TC, I can switch to Power mode and push as much wattages as I like my vape to be (depending on the coil build of course. Can't push 150w or more on some small micro coil which I understand). Switching back from power to TC, with the same coil being used is not an issue either. Correct?

Not sure that I understand you correctly, but if I do: that'll be no problem.

Correct.

Correct.

Thanks for your replies.

Got myself 3 brownies batteries but not planning to go for 250w. 200w is already a bit too much, although it isn't that bad on the Temple 30mm on some builds

I really thought tcr was not only meant to be set depending on the build, but when using SS in general. Then i guess that the tcr values that I've read people discussing about are not using 316,.. Or are there people who do change it manually to enhance their vaping result ?

The TCR tells your mod the "equation" to work out how much the resistance changes in wire in accordance with the temperature will be so each type of wire has a TCR. Doesn't matter how much wore there is (single micro coil or dual claptons) - the wire has the same TCR. In theory the SS mode is just pre programmed with the TCR of SS.

I use 316l and found the ss preset was too cool for me. That is what's great about tcr, each person can tune their vape. Start with the preset and if it's not good enough use the memory settings increasing by say 5 each till it gets better. Then fine tune it from there.

This is what ive read here and there that gives me this slight confusion.
Too cool you say. Why not just adjusting the temperature/wattage ? You were on the max already?

For me even raising the temp didn't seem to warm the vape as it hit temp protect. Changing the tcr allowed me to get what I wanted with a more realistic temp before tp kicked in.

So, I'll make a nice dual 316 coil in the aromamizer supreme, use the pre-set SS mode, and when I notice the lack of a nice warm vape and/or the temp protect kicking in I'll use the M1/92 and work my way up till I have my desired vape

Y'all took away my confusion :) highly appreciated

However,.. I'm still wondering why it's not necessary to lock ohms. Not doing so on a Yihi results in complete failure. Is it due to the RX, being capable to work fine without? Or is it the use of SS? ( I used ni200 on the Yihi at that time, perhaps that was the reason )

I find the RX200 and the DNA200 acts the same whether you lock the ohms or not. Reading how the DNA200 handles it coupled with my own experience, here is how it seems to me.

UNLOCKED: This normally works fine. The DNA200 has a sensor to read the room temperature (and one person told me the RX200 does too). So it knows what the resistance is at room temperature anyway. You could mess it up by installing a coil higher or lower than the room temperature. But once it gets to room temperature, it will figure it out and work fine once again.

LOCKED: This works too, but it doesn't factor in room temperature and perhaps other factors for TC. It basically operates TC by assuming locked ohms is room temperature and the change in ohms is a change in temperature of the coil from room temperature. Locked is also supposed to be better if you have poor connections too.

I also noticed if you are using it unlocked, and you want to remove the batteries. Then lock it before you disconnect the batteries. It doesn't matter if the coil is hot or cold. The mod knows what it reads at room temperature anyway. If you don't lock it before removing the batteries, it forgets everything. But if you lock it, it will remember that coil again.

    Consider on Yihi mods pushing the up+down button tells the mod to read the resistance. The value on the screen will never change after that. (unless you press the two buttons together again) So the action really is "read and store/lock".

    Other mods display the real time resistance on the screen and the 'base' resistance can change if it goes lower than what you initially set it to.

    It's kinda funny that this problem only affects the far more expensive DNA 200.

    Also the w are at 250 in tc mode and I cant change them, is that normal?
    You can change the wattage in TC mode. Here is a manual I wrote:

    RX200 OPERATIONAL MANUAL

    MAIN

    Up/Down (5 sec) Lock wattage/Temp
    Fire/Up (5 sec) Lock ohms
    Fire/Down (5 sec) Stealth/Normal

    TC Material (3 clicks)
    TC Wattage (4 clicks)

    OFF (5 clicks)

    Fire/Up (5 sec) Change Memory TCR
    Fire/Down (5 sec) Displays battery cell voltages
    Up/Down (5 sec) Flips screen
    Board Temp (10 clicks)
    Version (20 clicks)

    Any errors, please let me know.

    Thanks! maybe you could tell me the ss316 tcr is 0094 yes? I have it set to 600f at 85w and its very weak vape. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks

    I didn't use SS316 TC very long. And I used the stock SS TC setting instead of the TCR value. But from what I have been told, 0094, 0093, 0092 is what most people say to use. I purposely didn't say anything about that since I am not the best one to ask.

    Depends on the build with this mod. Well partially to vape like I want anyway. I put my tcr up to like 105 or 110 on my rx when using ss316l last time. Mainly due to somewhere in my head I didn't want my temp that high or it shouldn't need to be.
