tc mode ss on koopor mod

[nanotm]

so I have tried using ss317L & 316L in tc mode on the koopor mod and every time I push the fire button it takes half a second before the juice is flaming, if the wick runs dry then that turns to ash as well


has anyone managed ot use that mod in tc mode with anything other than ni200 and not have it set the juice /wick on fire ?


it works well enough in power mode on A1 but when I tried an SS coil in power mode it set the juice on fire, any ideas on how to get it working with SS or is it just a dead duck in that regard ?

less power? SS fires up very quickly.
set Ni200 mode to 60C or 140F

I presume it's a Koopor Plus. I think there are some duff ones. A chap over on POTV documented it and put a video up on YouTube.

yeah that's pretty much the issue, its a lot worse if you had primed the wick since the juice burns off before the wick catchs fire ..... it also does the same thing (erupts into flames) in power mode when fitted with a ss coil, there must be a feedback problem that stops limiting from working properly because it seems like its pulsing 200w through the ss coil regardless of settings.......

it doesn't do it in ni200 tc mode though that works the same as any other mod ive tried it in ....

either as you say its a duff batch of plus mods or its dodgy firmware, I rather suspect that's why smok created a whole new spin off company rather than carrying their brand openly on the koopor mod ...

stupid thing is they locked out the ability to upgrade the firmware to needing to be sent back to the factory or buying an upgrade link device, oh well the power mode works on a1 (of which I have lots) oh well I don't suppose it will last that long before it needs repairs and then I might investigate exactl what the problem is /

Sorry you're having these problems nanotm
Personally I've had it with tc on anything, even the dna200.
I'm loving ss in normal power mode now with no hassle at all.
I can't believe I've finally caved but yup tc can take a hike I'm done

I have 4 Koopor Minis. I bought a programmer and built a cable to update the firmware. Currently doing the rounds of Mini owners on POTV. Your welcome to borrow it if you can find a firmware image for the Plus

well TC was nice when it worked but the ni200 coils would leach far to much regardless of the temperature and I was barely getting 2 refills through before I had to change them out, the ss316l works great on a couple of mods but not others, I like the koopor plus mod and with Clapton coils its great in power mode it just doesn't seem to work with ss coils ....

thanks for the offer I might take you up on it once the time comes to repair one of the mods at some point down the road if koopor actually produces firmware for it

Yup that's why I don't like nickel and I'm fed up of ss being unstable for tc
SS power mode is my vape now and loving it

glad i don't use a koopor after seeing that or TC tbh.

I upgraded my Koopors for better battery life, better screen and to avoid the fire delay. Never fancied trying nickel or titanium, but once I had the stainless mode there I had to have a play. I find it useful for drippers, but then only if you have a simple build. I've just discovered fused claptons, so it doesn't work there.

Recently got into mesh. TC working really well on a Le Zephyr...
