I'm not sure if this has been posted before, or even applicable to the clone board (everything else seems to be), but I read/watched something interesting about "refinement mode" from an interview with Brandon from Evolv: "After about 4-5 minutes it goes into refinement mode. It watches the coil cool and resistance descent until it levels out, looks at the temperature of the board itself and calls that the new reference. Run it for a minute set it down for 5 minutes to let it do refining" There's a few other tips in this post. Unfortunately the video reference times are out, probably by the advertisements in the video. |

Try this first imhoPossible reset routine Remove batteries for system reset then put them back in. Leave the 510 screw a little high so you dont have to keep adjusting it. Make sure the atty and mod have not been used for a while so they are at the same temperature. Press the fire button with no atty on ( to get the same start-up for everyone) Put the atty on, firm but not tight(nickel build) Press the fire button. It should ask "new or same coil" Hit the up button for new coil. Set the temperature to 420F or your preference. Pray  Cross fingers and everything else Vape away Thanks robby. This reset routine seems to have allowed me to operate at a higher wattage without invoking TC, more like I was expecting. I think there may have been some mismatch between the stored resistance of the coil the unit was using to gauge the temperature and what it actually was. It doesn't actually affect anything but can you replicate the wattage display issue I had? |

Hi Don, it can only mean the wicking isnt quite keeping up with demand and the coil is heating up. What do you have the temp set at? The 11 watts is what it can keep up with without going over temp It's set to 15W robby, not that it matters too much because it will only fire at what it needs to for the set temperature. What you say about wicking is probably true. With a 1.1? kanthal build I would vape around 10-12W normally when direct lung inhaling for multiple seconds. I'm doing a nickel build on an RDA tonight and I'll see how that goes at higher wattages. There's no issue with the TC, it seems to be working fine. I just wondered. |

Hey guys, My VF turned up from 3FVape yesterday and, after a small battle, I managed to coil my Lemo with a 0.13? build of 30ga NI200.  TC seems to be working fine but I had a couple of questions: 1. Is it normal for the "Temperature Protection" message to show on the screen often during a longer draw (a few seconds)? 2. If the screen shows a TC wattage, say 11W when it's set to 15W, and I take my finger off the fire button the 11W stays on the screen rather than reverting to 15W. Is that the case with yours? Cheers - Don. |
