paulymeatballs use the reset button and note the 'VER00*' number for us? v0004 Well if nothing else, this experience has got me interested in temp control. I might invest soon in a dna40 to see how it's supposed to be done

seems a bit far fetched tc on kanthel and i feel for the vendors as a lot of peps will want there money back as it states it has tc it should work and if it dont its not as described so the vendors cant really argue smok has dropped the ball bigger and better than clouper did with the mini this is not looking good i prob wont use temp cont but if i was to purchase a new mod i would want to have it just in case i do want to i have only tried one smok atty and that was not very good and it looks like the mods are not a good bet as well shame it looks good and the specks were well made up hummmm 80 watts of tc could of been fun

I haven`t seen anything in SMOK`s blurb to state that it will temp control kanthal or anything other than nickel, I`ve only seen vendors claiming it will. As for temp control in general, IMHO it is over hyped. It will stop burnt wicks, it wont stop dry hits. If the wick is drying out, of course there is gonna be less vapor, but you wont burn the wick, the liquid or it`s ingredients. With all the fuss lately about formaldahyde etc, that is a very good thing.

I'm sure if that was the way it was designed they would be shouting from the roof tops. So they are probably sitting back and having a bloody good laugh. It's not 1st of April is it, and I've slept for a month?

It's wierd that although they seem to be showing the same version pauly's is showing 'v0004' whilst richo's is showing 'VER004'. Gotta be something wrong there, but not for me to cry foul having not had them to examine I wouldn't be surprised if there was a recall with the 'Wrong Software' excuse.

robbyMornin pal... Do you thing the TC could be fixed by a software/firmware upgrade?.. or is it hardware? in your opinion. Cheers Mike

Almost certainly fixable with a firmware re write mike weaver93, was expecting to receive one today and put it on the scope but it didn`t show

That it isn't designed to work with kanthal in TC mode, or at least not sense the temperature accurately. I'm sure if it worked with any metalic coil the designers would be putting it in very bold print. For vendors to say it does is tantamount to mis-selling. Unless they know something we don't.

I was hoping to get one today to put it to the test but it`s still in the post, it`s all conjecture at the moment really. I would put money on it not being possible with Kanthal Bobsbeer

I just changed my atty to a GS Air with a 1.6 ohm stock coil set at 10 watts. Changed it to temp mode and set the temp to 400F When I press fire and don't draw it shows the temperature climbing and it stops climbing at 273F after about 2 seconds and remains steady. I then reduced the temp to 220, and after about 1 second says Temperature Protect and stops firing. So it's not limiting the temperature with a kanthal coil. Merely switching itself off. Not quite temperature control by reducing the watts. I then increased the temp to 270F, and again it went into Temperature Protect mode. Reduced the watts to 8, and no problem firing. But 2 draws in fairly quick succession and it locks up. So while it may be monitoring the temp, it does nothing about it. And the temp reading is probably not accurate with the kanthal coil. So not temperature controlled in the way it is supposed to work. I don't pretend to know how it is working, or deriving the temperature, but I don't have a ni200 coil to try it with at the moment. Hopefully in a couple of weeks as my shipment from cigabuy was sent yesterday.
