Thanks for your help. The issue was definitely me. Last time I re-wicked, i pulled two of the coils just close enough to short under load. I also found the coil screws on my RTA don't really like to bite the larger gauge wires without a little discussion. The settings are back to where they had been, and running pretty accurately at 420 F. The build is 5 wraps of 26 AWG Geek Vapes SS 316L around a 7/64 mandrel. Ohms locked at .32, 28.5 Watts, 435F temp cut off, .97 seconds on preheat, and 60 Watts for preheat. It runs about 410 F during the vape. Almost immediate ramp. I've tried the temp dominant. I really prefer it running while power limited by the Watts setting. It may be because of the stainless build, but it is a little erratic while using the temp control as the limit. I'll compare it to titanium in a few days. I like this mod, and am a big fan of the DNA 200.

I was wondering about the replies regarding resistance... Just saw my typo. It is 26 AWG, not 28 AWG.

Very stable build. 5 Wraps, spaced, using 28 AWG 316L from Geekvapes. The TFR seemed spot on, until the temp started showing 100 F lower. I have now reloaded the TFR, thinking something may have happened when I updated the EScribe... No change. I will put another coil in later this morning, and check the atty closely. It is possible it is something with the build, and just coincident with the update. I have re-wicked a few times. I dont really suspect a short, since it is indicating the same Ohms... well close. Rechecked and it is now .31 Ohms. Same power level for comparable performance, just showing 320 or so when it used to show 425 or so.

I am not sure what I changed. Temperature control was set to 435 F. power was set to 28 Watts. Resistance is .32, using stainless wire fram Steam Engine for 316 Elite. Temperature was reaching about 420. EScribe was updated to 1.0.42 The vapor seemed a little different, so I started checking performance with Device Monitor. The temperature was only indicating 320 F. I bumped up the power, and the taste was awful... indicated temperature was 350. I now have the temperature limit set at 335F, and poer at 26.9 Watts. It performs as it did originally. The temperature appears to plane out around 320 F. I do not understand what I may have changed for the indicated temperature to have changed. I have deleted and reloaded the file for the material with no effect. I have not had a chance to try to measure the actual temperature.

I just read through the threads regarding displaying temperature in lieu of current while in TC mode. That is part of what I am hoping to see as an option. The other is a custom screen to be displayed once the device is idle. For example, let either current or temperature fade, and a logo the be displayed for the period set for idle.
