Have i done this right?

[Darth vapes]

just build a 0.37ohm dual 316L with 26ga..@3.0..10 wrap...So my problem is when in temp mode it keeps coming up with temp protect warning...and thats anything between 30 watts and 60 watts..at 450F..im using TCR..0.00093 which is for Stainlees steel....im i doing somthing wrong?

[Spector NS5 RD]

temperature protected is just a message letting you know that you have reached your set temp. are you not getting the vape you want? too weak?

[Darth vapes]

Yes way to weak...yeah i know why the warning comes up but i dont understand why?.....works well in wattage mode at 65watts..although the ohms keeps changing in wattage mode..in temp mode the ohms is stable..@0.37...checked with atimizer test as well and its the same

[Darth vapes]

Also im starting to think that my coils could be a little to close to the out edge of the tfv8 rba and cauing the rime to get to hot...just a guess

The Smok TFV atty's utilize a floating 510 pin the base, which can cause issues in TC mode, especially with their RBA's. I had one that would work fine with an OEM coil, but had no continuity with the RBA, unless I pushed up really hard from the bottom on the 510 pin.

The watts raising in wattage mode is normal due to the resistance rising as the wire is heating up.

Hmm!...Might have to start thinking about getting an RTDA...Any recomendations?...Would like at least 5ml capacity but as short as posible

[giz_60]

On the Therion 166, any atty up to a 25mm will look good...much wider than that is going to probably have some over hang ...I personally prefer the Steam Crave RDTA's...but there are alot of good ones out there...

[Darth vapes]

Ok Thank you!

[Darth vapes]

Had a look around and decided to go for the Avocado 24

[giz_60]

The Avacado 24 has a 2 piece 510 pin..one is a long bolt that connects to the positive post & then a smaller one that is the actual 510 pin. As long as they are both good & tight, should work...

[Darth vapes]

Yes thats true...been watching a few reviews on it as well...seems once you get the wicking right it works really well..so should be a good tank..its about $48.00 here in New Zealand which makes it pricey..so hopefully it runs well..keep my wicks nice and short as possible

[Darth vapes]

Also been looking for a good vtc5 battery ecig file for 2 vtc5s...the one i downloaded off of here is not quite right...battery low comes on at 15%...and that was using 70 watts all day...and yet the LG HG2 profile i also got from here..works to well!..as in it keeped fireing when battery bar was competely empty!...for how long?....dont know?...i had 4 or 5 more puffs then switched to vtc 5s....i have my soft cell set to 2.7..i dont want to go any lower than that......Batteries are always charged on my skyrc mc3000....which showed the flat vtc5s around 3.32 volts...also i always charge my 18650s at 0.75Ma....So looking for a good vtc5 file that has been setup using Therion 166

[giz_60]

It's kinda odd because it comes with a tri-tool in the kit...2 different sized hex drivers & a phillips driver...but it requires a flat head driver to remove the pins to clean & to change juice flavors... or at least mine did...

[Darth vapes]

LOL..Yeah i know!...should have been a flat top!...not a philips

[giz_60]

Yup...doesn't make much sense...

[Darth vapes]

I dont actully clean my tanks out between juices anyway....i just top up to what ever flavour i want next.....and sometimes i like to mix my flavours and discover somthing new!

[Darth vapes]

But i will take it apart when i get it and clean it out!

[Darth vapes]

Never mind on the ecig battery file! i have found your one!...cool!...but i have found that even the LG H2 and the sonys arnt really the MAH that they should be..always around 100 less or! even less!..and thats after doing a refresh cycle of the batteries

[VapingBad]

Battery mAh ratings are typically running them down to 2.5 V at an amp or less, that's not lies but just not how we vape, they would be more accurate for lower powered devices like, IDK say a digital camera, eReader or GPS, just not eCigs and higher current devices.

[Darth vapes]

Yeah..this is true!...it not a pefect match....18650s not designed for Mods....was designed for laptops and such....so we make do with whats at hand

[VapingBad]

It was a shock to me way back, the mods low cut off has a lot to do with it and that's just new knowledge to vapers.  Batteries used to be something you put in a flash light, better batteries gave more runtime and don't leave old batteries in you flashlight so they leak was about the limit of everybodies knowledge.

[Darth vapes]

Thats true!...lots more to think about now!....with vapers anyway!

[Darth vapes]

You can almost feel it coming!...some one will come out with 18650 style vape battery...with a hard shell not a soft skin that can tear and cause a hazard!..and a more stable vape style

[VapingBad]

It is really jut the top of 18650's that is risky when the wrap is damaged, makes it very easy to create a short circuit by just contacting a flat bit of metal.  The sides are only likley to be an issue if you had a positive ground device, I doubt you will ever find an electronic product like that, no doubt there will be some, but as rear as rocking hours sh1t.  But mech (tube) mods with the battery upside down are exactly that: positive ground, so any contact to the battery body is a short, not with the battery +ve at the 510 end, don't want to start a panic or nothink.
