Until recently I only used Mech's, Partly because at the time mods that could output 30W were not cheap and a similar power can be had from a Mech that will fire whatever you put in it(as long as your battery can take it). As you mention they are reliable and most fault that may develop can be fixed with a bit of TLC. This is one of my favorite Mech's Osmium Clone Super tough, didnt miss a beat and duel battery, so 2xSamsung25R's and it will give lots of power and last all day and night easily. Just dont put the batteries in the wrong way or youll have sparks flying out the fire button.  |

It seems to work with a setup above .08 Ohm OK.
No noticeable difference when used on the evic so I guess its working OK.
Not that impressed with the TC vape though, seems much weaker that kanthal.
Ill do a few more builds with Ni, but if it doesnt start kicking butt Ill just use power mode.

Not looking good with the D2. I think it is the 510 or positive pin connection.
Tried my magma and it was the same story.
At one point I got it working by putting some pressure on the side of the atty which must have given it a stable contact and it worked for about 5 mins.
Stuck now till I get a small set of allen keys so I can take a look inside.
Dont know whether to open a ticket and try explaining the problem...I just know that will be fun.

Thanks reefcat I did rinse it this morning. Its very weird as with one coil it works just fine but as soon as you put the 2nd in there it doesn't want to know. Ill check its dry and look at the center pin later. I ll try another dripper as well so as to try and rule out the mod being at fault. |

IT LIVES  I think I would have thrown a fit if it had been a faulty mod after the SMY fiasco and waiting 2 months for this thing. Cheers guys, for your help. Better get that other coil in there. |

I would trust the EVic more than the D2, if you are recoiling measure on both with no coil and the top cap fitted, I assume you have locked res if required (I don't really like res lock, but some boards need it). Trust your own eyes if it works on 1 and not the other it is not the coils, could be the 510 interface though or pressure on the centre pin hence checking with no coil. Right when I check with no coil I get 'checkatomizer' or 'noatomizer' depending on what mod. Does that mean the 510 and pin are O.K.? as that is what I would expect to see....Oh hold on...So if the D2 says short when the coils are in then its not just a case of it not reading the atty...is that right??? |

OMG just put the atty on the evic and the screen went 'bonkers'....started scrolling from left to right with nonsense.
Had to turn it off and luckily it came back normal....Maybe I should rebuild that atty?

Loose wire first comes to mind, either at the ends where they are tightened or two of the 'loops' in the coil are very close and sometimes touching, giving different readings? All i can think of having neither of those mods. Am using the atty on the evic so it is working on another mod. Could be a touching loops thing, not enough experience with TC to know if it would cause the mod to read 'short'. I will rewire the atty if nothing is mentioned that could also be the cause. Thanks Probably teaching "granny to suck eggs" (what a stupid saying) here, but your battery is top notch? and does the same atty work on the D2 in power mode? No robby you have good reason to ask, I have an old efest purple in there  Nothing but the best for me. Not tried the same atty in power mode as I would need to rewire it, but it is working ok on the evic in TC mode and I have a kathal build on the D2 right now that is working ok. |

Got 2 mods this week both TC...One is the evic mini and the other a D2 Both go down to .05 Ohm, so wired up the velocity and it was reading just above .05 Used it last night on the evic without any problem, so this morning thought I would get to grips with the D2 Put the velocity on the D2 and it read .047 and gave me an 'atomizerlow' warning. Fair enough I thought...it was right on the limit. So rewired the velocity and this time it read .07 Back on the D2, read the coil....it says .055. O.K. that will do. Pressed the fire button and was greeted with a 'short' warning  Checked atty, couldnt see a problem, back on and still 'short'.... Right so its reading .055 and its saying 'short' not 'atomizerlow' Confused, I put the atty back on the evic and it fires away without any issue. What do you think may be happening with the D2??? Edit: The D2 works in power mode ok. |
