Firstly, Hello.

I've been vaping for many years and have always come to this site for the great advice and feedback and I finally need post to maybe get some opinions.
For the last couple of years I have settled into making my own juice recipe and using an Aegis Legend (awesome btw) with a Tigon tank and 1.2ohm coils. I vape arround 7.8 watts as my juice is 80%PG due to a bit of an intolerance to VG.
So I thought I'd upgrade my mod and grabbed a legend 2 from vapeclub.co.uk.
Problem is, straight away it started really burning my coils. Twice I even saw it burn so hot the coil lit up bright red like there was an LED in my tank.
Sometimes I'd get a steady vape, then a while later it would burn again.
I tried in both power and variable curve mode but same issues and tried coils from different packs.
I'm guessing its faulty but I'm a little concerned as the feedback on the phone with Vapeclub was that 'it must be my coils' even though I was swapping the tank over to my Legend 1 and it was working fine as always so if its something I'm missing I'd rather figure it out before sending it off for them to check out.
Has anyone had any issues like this or maybe know of something that might cause this?
I though maybe it might be a preheat/boost setting but I went through the whole menu and couldnt find anything.

(BTW off topic, but it looks like the Nautilus 3 has a similar design to the Tigon which I really like so thinking of trying that and their 1 ohm mesh coils.)
 
Hi @Adash and welcome to the planet.

Ive got 3 original legend's and a L200 and have never heard of this issue before.

might be worth trying a reset.

Hmm Sadly no luck. I had a really nice vape in my tank, Swapped it onto the Legend 2 on the same wattage after the reset and its just burnt garbage again.

dalm, sounds like a faulty mod then. did you buy in uk or from china?

vapeclub.co.uk. I've arranged a return. Hopefully its just bad luck and I got a faulty mod. Anything else and I might be stuck with it.
 
I don't suppose the Legend 2 is in Temp Control mode? Don't know the mod, so don't even know if it supports it.

it does.
it should be in power mode which shows on top of screen.
 
Erm...OK So I was reading some good reviews (on here btw) about the new Nautilus 2/3 1ohm mesh coils. I then found out they do the .7 ohm mesh for the Tigon. As some were saying the .7 was nice for a more open vape I thought I'd try some on the Tigon beofre trying a new Nuatilus 3. Firstly, yes they are much nicer coils IMO. Then I thought I'd try the new coils on the Legend 2 just for giggles before I send it back.
So, been vaping anywhere between 12 and 20w on these new coils on the Legend 2 and not a hint of burnt vape in sight (so far).
Really wierd.
All I can summize is that whatever is going on with the new chipset in the Ledgend 2 its just not happy with either the specific 1.2 ohm tigon coils, or 1.2 ohm coils in general- although it is rated for them.
I guess I'll try it for a few days and see how I get on but yeah - really likining these mesh coils.
