Best advice I can give is to read and learn everything you can. Buy some prebuilt coils in something like a smok TFV4 or something similar that gives you a lot of coil options. After you get some knowledge under your belt buy some prebuilt TC coils and try them out.

I have been vaping for about 3 years, finally tried TC the other day and don't see what all the fuss is about. Maybe it is because I am still learning TC but my TFV4 with factory dual Clapton coils gives a much more satisfying vape as far as flavor and cloud production than my Uwell Crown with TC coils.

You're comparing a Clapton build (flavor build) to a simple micro coil build in a vertical coil head. And the Crown coils don't work well with TC because Uwell uses nickel legs in its coil heads which throws off all standard SS TCRs...

I used to build and vape only Kanthal/Nichrome fused claptons in all my drippers and tanks. Now I vape Titanium and SS fused claptons in TC. The flavor is superior and when I go back to Kanthal or Nichrome I can taste the metallic "iron" taste in them.

The whole idea with Ti/SS TC is not just better flavor if you're just not tasting it, it is about using much cleaner and healthier wire with no dry hits and longer battery life.

What mode are you running the fused in? What gauges/grades of ti/ss?

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Quantum Mech, ditto what Tpat said. It's kinda hard to do nuance with typing, but my comments were aimed at the typical user who might not have as much experience as you and the other well versed peeps here. I always expect somebody gonna blow demselves up if given the chance. I hope no offence was taken, absolutely none was implied old bean.

So I was able to get mine swapped out as I previously said. He had sent mine off to his supplier so I wasn't able to check the ground screw theory, but while I was at his shop today another customer brought in a white unit (mine problem was a white too, coincidence?) doing the exact same thing (reading .7 volts off) . I took the unit and managed to get a half a turn on the ground screw but this did not cure the problem, so he swapped it out for that customer as well.

Anyways after checking there was no problem I went ahead and made the face plate swap. Here is the "family".

This makes me want to order a white one, do the swap and then use a silicone sleeve to cover up the green on the black one.

you can't "change" your Ohms on your device. Why are you even asking that? Why do you want to "change your ohms?"

Not OP, I just found this thread through Google, but I want to adjust the resistance on my Reuleaux because it sometimes reads the resistance (at room temp) higher than I know the actual resistance is, which causes the temp control to not work as well. This is one of my favorite features on my X Cube II; adjusting ohms on the fly. No need for waiting until the coils have cooled and having to lock resistance when your mod is reading the exact right ohms. I'm curious if the DNA200 does this, and I really hope they add this feature for the RX200.

For a DNA200 through eScribe, yes it's possible to manually set the ohms.

I doubt this would show up on the RX200 though.

That's what I figured with the DNA200, which is a bummer. I really like being able to take my Crown off my IPV D2 while it's still warm, and put it on my X Cube, and still get accurate TC. No Escribe, no Bluetooth app just whip out the mod and change it. It's strange but the X Cube was ahead of it's time in many ways, and continues to compete with the DNA200/SX350J/RX200 weight class at a pretty darn reasonable price. Plus the pretty lights!

I wouldn't be surprised if my "atomizer short" issues are due to the Uwell Crowns I was running on my RX200 before I built my Aromamizer.

RBA or premade coils, these things leak. Not much, but likely enough to gunk up the 510 pin.
Been running the Crown since it was released.
Never an issue with the factory coils, but until I got the wicking down, it was like the tank was just opened and poured over the device when I tried the RBA.
Now that I understand the wicking of the RBA, it's been months since I've had any leak.
'S' wick with more cotton than you think. Make certain there is no cotton trapped under the chimney and that the 'windows' are completely filled with cotton. Don't prime it by dripping down the top.
Presto! A great vape with no leaks.

I have paint chipping on the left side of the battery cover and a little bit around the door as well. It's not too bad, and I've dropped the mod some, and it doesn't bother me, but it does seem like the paint isn't all that durable.
I've got chips on my SX Mini ML.
Only been in my soft pant pocket and not that often.
I'm fairly certain the squirrels haven't taken it for a play while I sleep.
Doesn't affect the vape, but the wife said something about cost and responsibility.
That's why I have this RX and a eVic-VT Mini

You're talking about overriding the resistance. I just want to be clear so no newbs misunderstand here and think that you are actually changing the "ohms" of your build and not just in reality "cheating" the TC of the device. I understand where it would be useful but it is something that should only be used IMO by advanced users so I'd rather manufacturers not allow us to do it or at least make it hard to do so (hide it in a menu or something).

I can just imagine newbs doing it and thinking they are at 540 degrees when they're actually at 640 and inhaling Nickel fumes or melting Titanium builds.

Oddly enough my RX200 tends to read my builds at a lower resistance than my DNA200.

I run a 26/36 Ti/KA1 7 wrap spaced fused Clapton in Ti mode:

And a 24/36 SS316L/KA1 fused Clapton in SS mode:

67d96f8fca78ced12b049d2ef14040a4.jpg


They are pictured here on my VT200 because I have to use that to test fire/pulse them in wattage mode because they both came out to about 0.08-0.09 ohms.
I did a similar Ti fused but was having issues with Temp Protection kicking in almost immediately in Ti mode on the RX200. I'm wondering if it was because I was using my tfv4 or if it's the 510 on my RX. Last night I built a 28/36 n80/ka1 dual coil in my Aromamizer RTA and every time I turn the RX off and back on the ohms change. With the fluctuations, I'm going to bet it's my 510. I will likely be upgrading it soon.

Maybe I just got lucky. I run it on almost the same settings as my DNA200. 85-95 watts (preheat off on the DNA), 500-540 degrees. This isn't the first Ti fused that I've used successfully on my RX though. I always space them as well.

The SS fused that I posted is giving me trouble on my RX now, but it is acting the same on my DNA. This is the second time I'm trying a contact SS fused. The TC kicks in immediately and in the RX it kicks it to wattage mode. Still messing with it though.

They do have one out now that you can actually change the resistance The Koopor
