Gave up on it now.. kept getting metal taste and don't fancy metal poisoning from titanium dioxide.. its too fussy. I need my ecig to just work, not be complicated so I'm back on kanthal now.

A week on I'm vaping happily on the dual coil I built and have rewicked once.
I think the secret to TC is low low resistance with as much coil to cotton contact you can get

I've had this exact problem!!! Djinni is a brand that claims high vg but the one bottle I tried just ended up on the floor because it leaked through my cotton due to being so watery. Cloud production was awful it just sizzled on the coil and burned the cotton even at.low power?
Can tell dripdrop juice isn't diluted, the VG juices are nice and syrupy. If nothing else, the juice quality and value for money I'm not seeing rivalled anywhere else.

On another tank of pink lemonade and I could stand here all day vaping it..
This morning it was quite tart which was nice and zingy. Now I've had lunch I'm mostly getting sweet and it's awesome.. don't feel like I need to nibble on anything sweet to get through the day!

Yeah I might invest in the dual coil deck I hear it's lots better than the single. Its working well with two coils on the single deck though  |

vapormod will you be bringing in a silicone case for the KBOX 200? Can't find one anywhere and I don't want it ruined like my mini lol I'm afraid I haven't seen any yet for them  Fair enough keep an eye out for sourcing them! |

UPDATE!!
Just built myself a dual coil Ti, 4 wraps each, coming out at 0.14 ohms.
WOW what a difference. Turned it right down to 280°F because I'm getting good heat flux now and it's still actually a bit warm!!
I'm guessing the RBA deck although single coil in form has those long legs and big wire holes for dual coil setups.
Also I've learned more wire coverage on the cotton is a much better vape with tc. Made for low resistance high coil coverage.
Also running a higher PG juice right now so I'm hoping when I get back to higher VG it will be less harsh
More as I vape it

Reviews left on the three new flavours I've tried. Completely blown away by pink lemonade. May easily become my all day vape. Narwhal tears has grown on me. Wasn't sure at first but now I'm on my second tank of it Im liking it more and more. That pink lemonade though... ❤ Thank you for the fab reviews. They really do mean so much to us as without them, we have no idea if others like them as much as we do. I won't tell you how many bottles of Pink Lemonade I've gone through. No worries, I try to give credit where it's due and these are great flavours. Still holding out for sweet red berry jam from you guys  |

Anyone else have the tfv4 and find it also has a high resistance base?

sorry, yes the positive is only a press fit, not threaded so you have to just carefully tweak it to straighten the post/block. The insulator on mine was cracked. Ah ok. Took mine apart and gently twisted the side on what looks like a plastic mounting platform and it's now straight with the other side. No resistance change though.. still 0.15/16 with the single wrap coil. >>EDIT<< now the cotton has broken in (second tank fill) it's actually vaping pretty well. Now. Have to have it cranked right up to 480°F but it's now putting out the flavour and cloud I'm looking for. I may perhaps just be one of those people that prefers higher PG juice because of the more intense flavours than the VG juices. |

how damned annoying ! ok, from experience... check 1)that the positive deck/post hasn't twisted on the insulator 2)that the positive is tight, screw driver through aiflow holes and gently twist 3) that the screws are actually tight or at least that the resistance doesn't change if they are tightened I did actually notice what looked like a funny angle on the positive post!!! Not sure what you mean about screwdriver through the air holes to fix it. You mean at the bottom of the RBA deck? |

Right I think I may have discovered an issue.
The RBA deck on the tfv4 is reading .11 ohms resistance when there is just a straight titanium wire between contact points.
Thats why the coil calculators are not working.
Even with .5mm/24g wire it still came out at .5 ohms.
I've got it to .15 with one full wrap and two half wraps one either side of the full one.
No wonder it's not quite right.. the resistance isn't coming from the coil but from the RBA deck it seems.
Not sure of the solution to this. Rebuilt it and still not right.. bah.

Another update! While miles better I'm still not happy. The TC mode just isn't kicking into gear and giving a nice warm vape.
Because the titanium will increase in resistance as it heats up I think it is actually still getting too high.
Thinking of getting some 24g wire and making much lower resistance coils of about .15 or even .1 ohms to ensure the temperature control is able to kick in and work properly.
At the moment I'm getting a very cool, weak vapor with little flavor and putting the temperature up helps but has to go to about 450°C or more and I got a bit of singed cotton taste but not much improvement to the vapor.
I'm missing what I like from normal kanthal coils which is when you hit your sweet spot power where the vapor comes off warm, thick, and full of flavour and you know not to fire it for too long to save your cotton and throat from a dry hit. What I am hoping is I can achieve this with the TC without fear of a dry hit because it will pull off and switch on automatically.
Just not switching it on enough for me.. just weak vapor.
