Temp/Watt settings for juices when using TC

I have found different juices give better vape/flavour when using different temp/watts when using a TC device.

Would it be possible to maybe list your juices and preferred temp/watts, coil ohm and whether it is a stock or self build in your profile as It would be nice to keep it all in one place, alongside the recipes or single concentrates, for future reference.

Hope that makes sense

I would maybe just list that stuff in the comments of the recipe to save a pile of work !

I wish they wouldn’t put an actual temperature reading on these mods. The temps are all different from one manufacture to the next, and even with the same manufacture different models can read different.They should just give it a number setting from 1 to 100 or letters or whatever.
Taste is subjective from one person to the next. Just find a setting that you like for that particular juice and vape at it.
I find I like a cooler vape with a peach recipe, to much heat mutes the flavor, but with banana or apple I like a higher temp to bring out the flavor. If I am vaping a complex recipe I like switching back and forth from high to low to see what flavors I get.

I love my titanium wire on the new IPV4S. 0.26Ω dual coil, 335F temp setting, @ 35J, I can’t put it down :frowning:

She’s a blowing clouds and after i use up the kanthal I have, Im going sticky to titanium wire. It tastes a lot more ‘natural’ if that makes sense. I feel as if the vapor has a true taste to it now. I can literally taste the kanthal when I go back to my kanthal builds :confounded:

As you mention in your last paragraph, you like different juices at different temps. I can vape 15-20 different juices a month. It can be difficult to keep track of setting/temps for all of them especially if I might not go back to that liquid for 4-6 weeks? my notes are all on a bit of paper at the moment

I realise people have different mods, type of TC wire and taste is subjective. That’s why I mentioned personal profile in my initial post to keep track

May well do MixedUp1 suggestion and add it in the comments or see if I can do an Excel sheet. As the piece of paper I am using at the moment is either going to gel lost or thrown away by accident.

I usually write stuff like that in the notes section of my recipes on ELR and I keep them in a spreadsheet on my computer. I don’t keep up with paper very well. LOL. I do think it’s nice to see what setup/settings people had to get the greatest idea of what the recipe will be like on your own.

I think you are VERY correct with that statement. The same Goblin Mini tank put on top of my IPV4s and on top of my Eleaf 40w TC act very differently. On the IPV4s it seems to dial in nicely and is a nice vape, however, on the ELEAF it’s boiling that juice so stongly you’d think you were fixing to burn your house down. There is one big difference between the two units though. The Eleaf does not have a setting for Titanium Wire and the IPV4s does. I feel this is throwing the Eleaf off. When I had Nickel wire in the Eleaf it seemed to work better than it does now with the new build


I agree ! Last night I rebuilt everything I have with Titianium wire. I do indeed think the taste is better !

I do feel that Kanthal does indeed have a taste, check this out from Wiki


Kanthal is the trademark for a family of iron-chromium-aluminium (FeCrAl) alloys used in a wide range of resistance and high-temperature applications. Kanthal FeCrAl alloys consist of mainly iron, chromium (20–30%) and aluminium (4–7.5 %).

Notice Kanthal can have as much as 76% iron. I feel this is where we can get a metallic taste to our juices. From the Iron in the Kanthal. Could be wrong but it is my belief

Is it “just me” with all the b.s. about titanium being unsafe to vape , blah,blah,blah
These same people dont seem to concider the fumes put off from iron,which is alloyied to make kanthal.
Also therez a such thing as iton oxide aswell it known as rust
lol
Titanium to me shpuld be theoretically the safest vaping metal.
Stainless steel still needs more experimenting but i believe T.C. with stainless steel yo be the next step in vaping temp contol wise.

I personally am more worried about nickel wire than Ti wire. The main worry people seem to have with Titanium is Titanium Dioxide. Read this from Wikipedia, and I quote


“Titanium readily reacts with oxygen at 1,200 °C (2,190 °F) in air, and at 610 °C (1,130 °F) in pure oxygen, forming titanium dioxide. It is, however, slow to react with water and air, as it forms a passive and oxide coating that protects the bulk metal from further oxidation.”

Look at the temperatures needed to form Titanium Dioxide. We just are not gonna reach those kinda temperatures when we vape. Also to consider is that Titanium is highly resistant to corrosion. Another quote from Wiki


“titanium exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion. It is almost as resistant as platinum, capable of withstanding attack by dilute sulfuric and hydrochloric acids as well as chloride solutions, and most organic acids”

I honestly feel we are getting some metallic taste in our juices when using kanthal. Yesterday I realized that Kanthal can have as much as 76% of it’s composition as iron. A very susceptible metal to corrosion and even rust.

Taste is believing I say. Titanium tastes so much cleaner, how can you go wrong. No sticks or seeds that we don’t need
Oooops, sorry, that’s another era
lol

The only reason people think it’s safer is because it’s the first wire used for vaping. They automatically think it’s the safest. Alot of people are afraid of anything new. If Ti was introduced first you wouldn’t hear a word about its safety. We speak a lot about paranoia outside the vaping community
 there’s a lot of paranoia in the vaping community too.

Human nature I guess.
It’s just one of the dumb nature’s standing out :slight_smile:
