I could be wrong, but the SS 0.5 heads have nickel legs and it can incorrectly report the temp and as such aren't suitable for temp control, but don't take my word for it I'm not entirely sure!

I'll just stick to watts for now then lol, I'm not overly fussed by TC but thought it would be a good idea to at least learn in case I want to try

tc is fantastic if your doing rba's rather than stock, the only stock coils ive used so far that do tc well are the kanger ni200 0.2ohm ones in the subtank otoh I have tc running fantastically with some rba builds and power mode with some Clapton wire 4 wrap dual coils in the crius (took 4 attempts to wick it so its not dry hitting), from my limited messing about despite having several types of tc wire the biggest problem with it seems to be the mods not working right in that setting/

Definitely something I'll be looking into at the weekend!

I may have come across a slight problem or it maybe normal?

As the screen shows both batteries, 1 of them has dropped slightly lower than the other, is that OK? Both charged at the same time, same charger, bought together etc...

[Ewol]

Yes, it's fine. There will be a slight variance.

Pop them in the charger and you'll see they're at the same levels.

So... the nitecore i4 intellicharger that was linked earlier in the thread just blew up... well blew up is a slight exaggeration but it made a hell of a bang and flash when I turned it on and is now dead which means that mod and batteries are out of action until pay day when I can afford another charger.

I've emailed vapeland asking for a refund, thought nitecore chargers were decent but not sure if it was user error - I've used it 2 or 3 times so far just popped the 2 batteries in and switched it on at the socket.

Get an opus or an xtar vc4 instead. Way more reliable..

Thanks I'll take a look near payday

[Ewol]

Really, try and get a refund though. That's unacceptable.

Did you check the authentication code on Nitecore's web site, there are a brand that get faked.

Just to let you know there was no authentication code, there was some small bit of cardboard but the authentication bit was blank...

I have a XTAR VC4 and a Nitecore D4 both work fine , maybe google how to spot a fake Nitecore and see if your box shows signs of it being fake also as you put it had no code it dont look good i wish you luck with this and please stay safe

This is where I bought my charger from so I sincerely hope it's genuine
www.nitecore.co.uk/
Batteries and chargers ain't worth looking for the cheapest.
I like cheap Yeah but genuine has to come first imo and even then caution is advised

[nanotm]

I had a charger for 7 years before it gave up the ghost with a pop, since that one I've had to get a new one every year or two ... new stuff just isn't built to last /
