I began running quartz heating elements with a ceramic bucket on my GeekVape Aegis Legend 2. I began with my TCR set very low as that mod will blow a coil without warning if set wrong, which made it more exciting in my opinion. I settled on TCR mode, T 1150, with my temp set to 178C and watts at 22.5. I didn't really know what I was doing and I'm still learning but those settings seemed to work for me and those vaping it with me. I would always start with my temp down at 142C and work my way up until I received the results I was looking for and 172C - 178C was where I usually ended up. Any higher required manually pulsing the trigger. VW mode also worked well. The manufacturer's recommended 25w - 40w was too high and I only went to 25w once. never again. my watts stayed between 16w - 23w. Which was my starting point for searching for a good TCR value.I always figured that any value that required pulsing the trigger was too high. I should be able to hand my mod to a perfect newbie without concerns that they will hold the trigger down too long and burn it. I have yet to try my new laser thermometer on my Aegis or my Z100C to verify the temp settings. This is where the the difference between the heating element temp and the actual temp in the bucket will be discovered. I am looking for any and all available resources related to vaping with quartz heating elements and ceramic or fused quartz glass buckets. I thank you in advance if you can point me towards anything useful.

Could you please elaborate on your experiences with quartz buckets? I am using a Longmada Motar on a GeekVape Z100C with a quartz bucket. Well, technically the heating element is quartz, the bucket is ceramic. Some use fused quartz glass instead of clear ceramic buckets. I have been told on another forum that the TCR value for Quartz was so low that there was not a chip set that could use TC with quartz. The Ohms are stated as 0.4ohm by manufacturer but in my experience on my Aegis Legend 2 and my current mod it tests at 0.31ohm to 0.46ohm when cold. It rises to at least 0.7ohm when in use. I can't remember the TCR value. I want to say it was T 0.0002 but I would have to go back and check E-cig forum to be sure what another poster who appeared to know everything about everything said. It was lower than my mod at that time, the Aegis Legend 2, or any other chip set could be set too. He was unpleasant, but probably correct in my my opinion. Do you have any data or resources that I could obtain to help me to better research this new heating element material? I would also be interested in anyone who was more experienced and knowledgeable than myself to help me in this task. I could possibly, maybe, provide a Motar attachment to any who were willing. Could someone please recommend a location in this forum that would be best for bringing up this topic and getting maximum participation?
