Hi and welcome.

 

[naughtygrouseywouse]

So a question about the TC mods and coils.

I've just had a pack of Triton mini 1.2 Ohms come through, it is marked TC on the box. It gives a Wattage range of 15-20. Is it the case if you use a lower wattage, the blast will be very weak? And that if you use a higher range it tastes burnt (and damages the coil?

Also if you use a non TC coil a standard 1.6 or 1.8 with TC mode on, it will still fire but just with no TC mode, or will it not fire at all, or will it do any damage to the coil?

On the aspire website it says the 1.2ohm coils are kanthal wich cant be used in TC mode. And 1.5ohm for the NI200 TC coils.

 

[naughtygrouseywouse]

The box is slightly confusing because it lists Kanthal and Ni200 at the bottom, however is it that the seller usually marks one or the other box like the Ohm rating on the side? (both Kanthal and Ni200 are unmarked)

You mean 0.15 don't you that's the only TC coil isn't it?

Yes. If you look on the coil itself (see pics on website) the NI200 TC coil should be etched 1.5 ohm and the kanthal 1.2 ohm (15-20w)

 

[naughtygrouseywouse]

The coil itself is definately a 1.2 Kanthal and not a TC in that that case.

So 0.15 is actually 1.5, why is it listed as 0.15?

I'm curious about the TC coils as I've seen them listed and I know one of the mods I've just ordered, the Eleaf 40w has TC function.

My mistake I read it wrong they are 0.15 not 1.5ohm

I only tried TC recently so not that experienced.
The way tc works is the mod detects a change in resistance in certain metals when heated and adjusts power acordingly.

each metal will have a tcr rating number

on the mod you select the type of metel rhe coil is, then (on some mods) set the tcr number acordingly. Lock in the coil resitance while cold (room temp) next set the ramp up wattage higher than you would in wattage mode. Then your ready to go, with the coil primed with liquid start at lower tempreture 100c and increase the temp 5c at a time untill you get to how you like it.

when you fire the mod the initial wattage will be high so the coil heats quick then drop down low and keep adjusting throughout the draw.

it sounds more complicated than it is.

oh and dont do what I did and fire mod with dry cotton you might end up holding a candle lol.

Have a read in the TC section, members there will be able to answer any quesrions better than I can.

Okay ta thanks. I've done a little research into it already, I'll probably leave it until I got on my head around the mod anyway. I suppose one thing that appeals is that it could make coils last longer in theory, if it doesn't ruin the wick...

Did you not prime your wick you mean??
