The temp protect tests in this video looked quite bad, the cotton burnt and the Nickel glowed:(
Any German speaker here that can translate the gist of what he's saying?
Use the subtitles - settings - auto translate feature , it is far form perfect but you can understand most of it. You may need to view on youtube first, I couldn't get the translation option on the embedded video.

Tell it what? That it does, indeed, have step down in TC mode?

All recently produced series wired mods with VV/VW (including TC) use buck converters. A continuous buck converter with low pass filtering on the output will produce a relatively flat DC output waveform which translates to a "Provari" type smooth vape. Different TC mods use different techniques to modulate the buck converter output fast enough to control coil temp.

Here is more than almost anyone would want to know about buck converters lol

In that video he has temp set to 220° which is above the burn temp of cotton which is 214° so no surprise it burnt the cotton the mod is limited by temp set that higher then the burn point of a material and it will burn. I just bought one of these on preorder from fasttech so I'll whack a 430 ss coil on it when I get it and see for myself, at £32 I'm not really losing much if it's a complete pos.

I have one in the cart at fastech as well. If the reviews don't come back terrible, I'll get it to have an inexpensive TC mod to take to the beach.

lol auto translate......ya if you want a laugh. i didnt know the reuleaux had a "ballack trail monarch chipset" good stuff. cheers me up.

EDIT........ so it looks like it failed on all wire types. 220°C is about 428°F but looks like it's running around 600°F. I guess just turn the temp down about a hundo degrees and you'll be ok. still looks like a decent device for 40 bux.

EDIT......i stand corrected it's closer to "1300 animals are on the temperature protection"

I´m so I´ll try to sum it up...

In that video he has temp set to 220° which is above the burn temp of cotton which is 214° so no surprise it burnt the cotton the mod is limited by temp set that higher then the burn point of a material and it will burn.
He´s kinda the german PBusardo and he exactely knows what he´s doing, he´s using the same settings for his tests, did it before with the Evic VT and the Evic VTC, also with the SX Mini or Dicodes and all with the the same results - cotton became slightly brown but didn´t burn at all. min. 30


I had SX Mini ( for a week but I sent it back, battery door drove me mad within a couple of hours and sort of things ) and the Evic VT, the Evic VT died after three or four month, I got a replacement after two month or so, so meanwhile I´m using two of the Evic mini right now and I pre-ordered the black RX200 - before I´ve seen Obi´s video ...
I usually vape at 260-275 degrees and temp control on the evics work fine... evics.jpg

by the way you guys are lucky with the prices...the Reuleaux DNA200 is about 190-200 € ( 200+$ ) and the RX200 is listed for approx. 80-95$
back to the video, Obi said measurements in wattage are just fine but in temp control it doesn´t work well, you know that, and in that case he wouldn´t recommend it...but for that amount it is quite alright...
he´s always in contact with wismec, and he´s very confident that these issues will be fixed with a firmware update soon - so go for it!
