skineedog Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Wrapped my first coil with NiChrome 80. .52 ohms stable per the MOD and escribe. Uploaded the TCR from Steam both from the Wire Wizard and the old TCR. The coil is installed in a Kanger submini. Values loaded from Steam are:Temperature (degF)Electrical Resistivity-1000.98965118400.9957387237012001.0079133074001.019927866001.0329486278001.047827768In device monitor, with temp monitoring mode enabled (temp limit disabled) the device/coil performs as expected. As soon as I enable temp limit, the temp registers all over the place which obviously cuts power to the coil. I have tightened both the coil & atty base several times to no avail. This is only happening with NiChrome.Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skineedog Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Just after the initial posting above, escribe & the device are no longer registering temp? Nothing has changed. I set the device down long enough to write the post, finished and tried vaping again. The device vapes fine but not temp is being registered.

skineedog Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Yet another test convinces me there is something up with either the device or escribe:I attached an atty with an SS coil and switched to the appropriate profile. Temp control functions as expected and is reflected in escribe. Did the same with an Ni200 coil with the same results. Switched once more back to the Nichrome coil and escribe & the device seem to be functioning and registering temp as expected.What is the issue? I am running firmware 9-30 with escribe version 1.0.35.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retird Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Guess is something to do with Nichrome coil or TRC for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skineedog Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I appreciate your response but if the TRC was the problem, wouldn't escribe show something for temp rather than nothing? And wouldn't/shouldn't it do so consistently? It's as though the device is ignoring the TRC completely. Until I attach other attys and then reattach the NiChrome coil.

Spirometry Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Temperature coefficient of nichrome is too low for temperature protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
