Time to try temp control

[Q]

Vapemail from John Bold today




Nice match with my Focalecig 'Flask




Now what wlse do I need??   Of course some juice would help

[Q]

Run into my first problem..
Anyone else have one of these? I'm used to unscrewing the base of tanks to fill, this one seems to be push fit on the 'o'rings, but the coil is screwed to the base and the chimney screws to the coil, anyway took it all apart, ½ filled it & carefully screwed/pushed it back together AND it hissesjuice out of the airflow adjuster!!!

Am I missing something (or just stupid)

[phatfil]

Just my best guess.. did you saturate the coils wick with juice before filling, if not it may just be excess soaking juice passing by the wick before it fully saturates with juice??

[Q]

You could be right phatfil I didn't pre-juice the coil (I never do), I just filled the tank and left it to soak like normal.

Seems to be a little better now, no leakage, but what temperature should I set the flask to?

I set mine to 25w and 510 to 520

Getting better

Now I've just got to work out how to get a decent amount of juice (to stay) in the tank

I saw a video on youtube were a bloke put cotton in the coil dry and set temp up in steps and its about 450f when the cotton burns so he set his just under.If this is right fair enough but if wrong sorry

ron I dont know but on my TC mods it never gets to 510, by the time I've had a toot it's around the 400 ish range. I've not burnt the cotton as yet, but I'm not really impressed with TC. I'm happy with me old fashioned coils

I may be way off the mark here, still waiting for my first TC mod from FT, so no direct experience, but I am puzzled.

I understand the advantage of TC for an RDA, where you can't see the juice level, and if you forget to top up, you get a dry hit & burnt cotton. But with a tank system, you can see if you have juice in the tank, and with most modern tanks you shouldn't be getting dry hits ever.

So what's the point of TC on an RTA?

tbh i dont rate tc much yet but having had a cold has found it rather good
you supposively can change the flavor with it as well
i dont know how the other wire,s work as yet but im defo not keen on this ni200 crap(you need diff tc for ss ect the cheap tc mods dont use them)

thats what i did too,,

One thing to watch for is correct initial reading of your nickel coil build.  build and wick your coil on an ohms meter if possible and when attaching the atty to the device ensure the reading it takes is similar to that of the ohm readers measurement. +/- 0.02 ohm eitherv way is close enough imho  but if the reading os off more than that dis connect ant attach again,,  its CRUCIAL  as this is what all further temp control measurements will be compared against..

as a very new vaper and very new at TC the 2 main advang=tages i can see are 

1) drain the tank dry with confidence

2) if your wicking is off you can avoid the dry hits..  have been building on a squape relooaded clone (Cheers @spikeyfridge) recently and its verry fussy about the wick..  

Tho ni200 coil building is a whole new game..  softer and way more mailable metal..  

[mxethey]

Do you think you could use stainless steel wire in tc mode

Am I right in thinking you've picked up an SXK nebula? If so you can ditch the nickel and by using the nickel purity feature, run titanium or stainless wire.
