I Thought it was about 20-30°c too hot on the SS316l build I had in it. My build was a single coil ammit tank parallel 26 gauge around 5 wraps from memory. seems similar to the runaway experience of the op in your link. Maybe not too hot just not working now you have posted it.
I’ll have to try some other builds as I’ve not used the TC much I think, if at all perhaps. See if I can get it to struggle and replicate these issues with other builds. Interesting.
I tried dual 24 awg SS316L. The same 24awg single coil and also dual claptons 26/36 and 24/36, also SS316L. Ti was dual 24awg. All were 3.0id 6.5 wraps.
Thanks Pugsy, I guess if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I vape Alien at about 80-85 watts with .2ohn TFV4 and at 55 for .2 aspire cletto which I absolutely hate. Lots of spitting.
TCR for ss 304 is .00105
TCR for ss 316 or 316L is .00092
TCR for ss 317 is .00088
These are the tcr values I use i dunno if it is me or steam engine is wrong (more likely me). But trying them wont hurt (much lol). So if you are on ss 316 coil it will make a difference if you are vaping at close to the ss304 tcr.
That’s the point I was making. It won’t fire at all when set at the correct TCR. I had to keep moving it up to find where it would actually work. I think it was DJLsv vapes that suggested 108 in his technical review of the alien.
Hmm that is weird mine fires fine at 92 with ss316l fused clapton Maybe re install the update and it should set everything back to defaults (not 100% but updates usually do). If that doesnt work I would look at rma.
I bought one when they first came out and the paint was horrible. I bought a “B” version about a month ago and with pretty much daily use the paint is holding up fine. A couple of dings on the bottom but otherwise its OK.
I will have to put my .4 back in, I used an ice flavour with it and hated the flavour, too mentholee so I tucked it back in box. Maybe this weekend I will brave that flavour again and run a bunch of my mixes through tank to wash off that coil. Or maybe hmm I should just go and buy a pack of .4’s. Everyone I talk to raved about the tank so I will giver a go.
