Opinions please

[Deleted]

Hi as you know I'm on the look out for a Tc mod as its my birthday next month . I like the IPv4 and I now see myepack has brought out the S so no more annoying screen problems.

I was just taking a look through and seen this , can I have your opinions please compared to the IPv4 S

I have seen the 3 li but don't like the style as much . Thanks for any opinions

Great prices.

I've got the Sig 75w and its great.
I'm looking to get this next www.kingzofvapour.com/collections/variable-voltage-mods/products/ipv-d2-75-watt-temperature-control-box cos it's dinky

That ipv-d2 looks lovely and from the reviews I've seen and read, seems to be a winner. That gets my vote

[phatfil]

fwiw had a bit of a splurge on tc mods recently and have got
dovpo 50w TC
SXK nebula 60W TC
sigelei 75w TC
Also had and sold on a snow wolf 200w TC (way too big for me power wise)

the TC on all the above works well, though i am struggling to coil and wick consistently with the Ni200 wire soft and easily nudged out of shape when wicking.. I am now using subtanks with Ni200 occ heads installed, while i practice wicking the softer nickel wire..

imho high power and TC dont mix too well as if you vape with starting power above 20w the target coil temp is hit very quickly resulting in an on/off oscillating vape when vaping with a lower starting power results in a more consistently powered vape as when the tc cuts in it just modifies the power output lower rather than shutting it off..

just my observations...

Wow I'm loving the ipv that's a great price and 75 watt is spot on for me thank you

I have so much to learn about temp control and how best it works
I'm going to have to do some research on how it works , do you have to set your watts and temp together ??
Do you know the scorching point of cotton please ??
I think what I will do is at first while I have a practise with the thinner wire I will use the ft ready made ones.
My friend says they work good in the rta and lemo , especially if in a hurry , so I might grab some at first

I've got the Dovpo TC-50, the Mini VF and the Arctic Dolphin ADT-50 and that's not my findings at all. As long as I start with a cold coil so that the resistance is read correctly I often vape at 35-40 watts. It doesn't seem to matter whether I'm using subtank with NI200 heads or Tanks and RDAs I coiled my self between 0.08ohms and 0.12ohms. The ADT-50 is different in that you can't set the watts when in TC just adjust the temperature.

hey

I started a thread regarding tc here allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/56182/tc-working

It will tell you how to scorch test and other information.

I started it for people first starting out with tc and having a range of members knowing there experience does help

Afaik @yavape different mods impliment different TC methods, some allow you to set a target max temp and the starting power you fire with, but not all i think the istick40 tc just allows you to manipulate the temp in TC mode. there are 2 suppliers of branded control circuitry Evolve and Yihi iirc buying a mod with either of their h/w installed gets you a known quantity, but will also add a premium cost to the mod. But buying a TC mod without either evolve or yihi controllers is more of a punt, smock didnt get it right with the M80, and afaik there is some suspicion that the new x cube 160w may have similar issues?

sydsut hits the nail squarely on the head highlighting the importance of reading the atty resistance @ a cold (room) temperature to start with, as its the change in the attys/coils resistance with temperature change which will indicate to the circuitry logic what the coil temp is,and when/if the TC kicks in, so if the initial 'cold' resistance is off to start with all temperature calcs will be offset by that initial error..

lemo2 sounds like a good candidate for a Nickel coil as it will accommodate a big coil, and i am slowly learning that less cotton is good when it comes to wicking, as if the pull of cotton thru the coil is hampered in any way the coil will simply give n bend.
Another option ive yet to try is coiling directly onto the cotton wick when its wrapped around a syringe needle as a mandrel.


ps sydsut just upped my wattage to 40w for a quick tc vape test, on the sigelei 75w, not noticed any oscilation but its a tad too warm a vape for me, made me cough

[gm111]

I'm pretty sure it shouldn't matter what watts you set it too phatfil the higher the watts the quicker it reaches your temperature is all, maybe try lowering the temp and increasing your watts and see if this helps

Thank you so much flavourtank sydsut phatfil for all the help I understand what you all mean now .
I'm going to go with the yihi and the ipv 4 I think as I haven't heard any complaints about the tc . I'm going to have a good read of flavourtanks thread and get some learning done to
