Sorry for double post but after posting this went back and had a puff - back to erratic behaviour - nothing has changed other than a minute or so of time and here is what I now get - virtually no vape...

Thanks for the replies and the assistance! I changed to F, used the settings as mentioned by seankwong and then tweaked them a little and it does seem less erratic - maybe there is an issue with Celsius? Does this graph seem more normal?

I seem to be having issues with stainless steel (317L) and temp control. I have not tried any other wires other than kanthal. When I first made my coils I put some cotton in the wick and set to 200C and fired it and immediately the cotton burst into flames. With no cotton in the coils were pulsing bright orange - clearly not something expected from temp mode. I tried again with another RDA. This time I set the temperature much lower at 150, tried spaced coils and didn't even try and fire until juice was on. Extremely erratic vape experience. Sometimes it would work, other times it would throttle the watts to nothing.Even when working I could taste the warming and cooling significantly as the coils were pulsing. In the end I switched back to kanthal in normal mode. The temp curve was downloaded from steam-engine and I recorded the results in the device monitor. I have no idea what is going on here but it is certain it is not working correctly. Any ideas?
