See those thinner wires (Black/white/blue) are they plugged into the board in between the thick red and black coming from the battery? You might be able to lift out the battery carefully which has either been soldered directly to the board or there will be a connector Looking carefully, he appears to have cutoff the connectors and wired directly to the board, due to space.

For TC, the core wire(s) need to be TC capable for it to work ..... with any wrap. I believe you described kanthal cores which will not work.

I believe so as well. Been there done that. LOL. The balance connector is usually a small connector coming from the battery and usually attaches to the board/chip down by the USB port (on the opposite side of the USB plug)

Thanks for that. It's showing every cell is completely dead. 0.00V. Hopefully a new battery would fix that from seeing such low puffs, but even so with my old barely used Lipo's, there was usually a glimmer of a volt in at least 1 cell. I haven't seen a 'some nonsense' error, but the actual wording or screenshot could indicate bigger issues.

Sounds like a LiPO battery. There is now escribe v2 with a native Mac version available. Can you post a full Printscreen (Command Shift 3) of Device Monitor with cells 1-3 ticked

Not directly related to your issue, but here's a proven method to test/set your internal mod resistance. Remember to set it to zero, and upload to your device beforehand. ** giz_60 alternative mod resistance calculation **Read this 1 comment by giz https://goo.gl/m8zrFHThenWire picture (March 10 post) https://goo.gl/3BSsMVTakes a few minutes, and it will be correct for YOUR mod.IMHO, acceptable values would be in the .002-.009 range. Note the double zeroes. Set to new value, upload settings to device.

Could be a combination of many things, but for the resistance to rise, it could be say a hotspot on a coil, or even a coil leg is slightly loose and when the wire it expands slightly, tightening the connection. The other stuff I mentioned was just getting you to a known stable base. I can't agree with this, and realize every manufacturer uses different algorithims to do their TC (how often they read the change in resistance, when/how they calculate if a material is TC capable, etc.). I don't believe any other mfgr does 'refinement'. I wouldn't fiddle with your mod resistance, unless you know how to set it accurately (5 minute job), we're talking down at the thousandth's value. I'm surprised your Koopor reads the same value when both are in straight power mode. Have you have proven a single coil in TC works (the chip itself)? Did you look at Atomizer Analyzer? You might want to lock your resistance Yes, the cold ohm value should be a steady line, and if yours moves that explains why it's no bueno for TC

Thanks for that level of detail. It could be a few things then, but all leaning towards a poor connection .... somewhere. I would check in this order, seeing as you said ALL atty's. Check your ground connection inside the mod. Clean your 510 connector and threading with a Q-Tip. I use IPA or windex. Wouldn't that lead you to believe it's a build issue? I've never built a quad, but all your coils need to be as close to identical as possible. Using Atomizer Analyzer, you can see if your build is stable (it will jump a few thousandth's at a consistent interval as AA applies 1watt). You can also 'set' you resistance there. You might also want to lock your resistance which negates refinement. BTW, have you actually set your Mod resistance?

Welcome. IMHO you're way overthinking things, and TC is actually quite simple to set up and get good results. Material TCR is wire specific and will not change due to ANY coil parameters. The resistance of the coil is ONLY read when you press the fire button. It is a 'live' read while in Power mode. It is a 'refined' (70°F) value while in TC mode when unlocked and does not change on the display while firing. DNA mods only require locking under special conditions. What do you mean?

1200 mAh Lipo. So that's about the equivalent of one and a half, high Mah 18650's. You gotta compare it to that. The only tuning I can think of, would be to run your own battery analyzer (1 hour) and adjust those parameters (Wh's and CSC)

Like you mentioned, an acceptable value. Others should use those values for comparison if they set their own.

And what value would that be now?

Different but similar. TFR's usually have multiple data/measurement points. TCR's just a calculated value over the same range. But both always rise. TFR's from Steam-engine, TCR's added as a new material, then the TCR value.

Glad you got it working. I have had contact coils also work, but as we suggested, it's usually a cleanliness, build or connection issue. Cheers

Everything's done on the Materials tab, then upload settings to device. So at the end of it all, you'll have 2 for 316L, and 2 for 430. There is no overall best. Start at 400F and work your way up or down. Adjust preheat values if you want quicker/slower time to reach temp.

Sounds good. Preheat > Power. There you get NO preheat, just power

Is your preheat value greater than the power setting in that profile?

The standard evolv offering works. Jaquith hasn't posted in probably a year. That file was for his batch of UD wire. Stainless Steel is an alloy. There is NO most accurate version due to that. All is not lost, and you can get somewhat accurate. If you trust his experience he also said this "... set temperature to 470 F using scrap cotton and "cotton burn test" until light golden brown. Adjust TCR until passed. DO NOT OHM LOCK! If your Atty is unstable then don't use it in TC .. get a new Atty. Whenever I have a new wire I use a rock solid and resistance stable RDA with one spaced coil until I have a TFR or TCR that I know works" Notice all the ranges below.

Good English. I really think this is a build issue, as your other atty/build works fine. Can you check there are no hotspots, if a contact coil, try a spaced one.

Apa koil ohm, dan kekuatan apa? Sudahkah anda menggunakan setup Goon ini pada mod lain dengan hasil yang bagus? What ohm coils, and at what power? Have you used this Goon setup on any other mod with good results?

This was not from escribe, but shows my battery savings compared to straight watts. 70 watts set as max power Great coil pics by the way. I tried so hard to get some of my Wasp, but unsteady hands. Sorry if the pic is massive, I can't be bothered to resize.

Simply claptons or plain old twisted wire. Single or dual core fused. Never even tried anything fancier. However, I really use steam-engine alot. Wire wizard will allow you to simulate any build. Coil Wizard if you want a specific resistance. I checked my Wasp. It's a 6 wrap 3.5mm ID spaced so my legs are straight. The pooling bothers me just ... because. I really only use them for flavor or eliquid testing. "I understand TCR on a very vague level" No worries, SE is a great calculator. Basically it's a number that calculates how much the resistance of a coil will change when heated 1 degree celsius. That's very very simplified but cleaner than a whole bunch of brackets. That all lines up with why not to lock the resistance of a solid build. Evolv refines your coil resistance displayed value only 'refinement' to what it would be at at 70F and combined with other known info, uses it for TC. TC is nothing more vaping at a set resistance, from a known starting point (70F) and the larger the 'TC Precision' value in Wire Wizard, the easier it is for any mod. There are other really sharp guys that'll clarify or correct my understanding if it's off.

OK, fully understood what is NOT quoted. Can you rephrase what I've quoted, or even type in your language and we can translate.
