T.C. help........again.

[striker42]

After a multitude of failed attempts at TC, I've finally got a build that works. But I'm not sure that the numbers involved are correct. 


Nine wrap dual 0.4mm SS coming out at 0.27 ohms.
Here are the settings I need to use to get it to work.



If I lower the temp setting to 480 or lower, it will come up "temperature protection" after 3/4 seconds pressing the fire button. Just checking that these numbers are about right or whether they are a mile out. It is working well and the flavour is excellent. But I'm still in the land of nod with TC.

Looks pretty good to me , I usually use Ss316 and 10 wrapped dual coils coming in at 0.42ohm @ 48w . Temp protection does not mean anything is wrong, it merely means you have hit the limit at the current temp setting . You can still tweak the temp higher or lower depending on the type of Vape you want, you will also find the flavour can change as you tweak the temp setting .

Hopefully some of the above helps striker42

Thanks car147, any help is much appreciated. I had a couple of claptons in there over the weekend but wasn't too taken with the flavour of them. Decided to dig the SS out and have another go at TC. When I finally got that build to work, the difference in flavour was night and day. At least now I've got a starting point and can take it from there. Cheers.

Yup, just experiment until your happy , it's all part of the fun. Other wires that may be worth trying are NiFe30 and of course Ni200 ( not ideal for dual coils as the resistance is likely to be too low)

I forgot to mention pre heat which is pretty important, , I usually go for 100w for 1sec, but have used 80w , again just adjust to you preference via Escribe.

Don't worry about the "temperature protection" message, that shows it's working as it's spose to and throttling the power to maintain that temp, you can turn it off in EScribe if you want. IIWU I would increase the watts a bit and lower the temp in 10 F stages until the vape is too weak, then go back one. I vape dual ss coils at 400 F, 66.6 W, preheat 100 W, punch, 11, time 2 and this will settle around 40 W, but my temp will be lower as I vape 100% PG
