Started using TC mode and not getting much flavour

[SimonL]

Have you dialled the TCR of resistherm into the mod? i.e. 320

Yes, the Dicodes defaults to the Resistherm NiFe30 wire and sets the TCR to 320

I am of the opinion that flavour increases as the heated surface area of the coil increases, when you compare at the surface area of a round wire coil to all the little nooks and crannies of say a dual clapton coil there is no comparison. When I changed from single wire micro coils to complex coils it was as if someone had waved a magic wand over my juices.

Maybe I'm expecting too much from the single wire, single coil set-up in TC mode. The flavour is definitely improved on this latest build, but still not as intense and with the clapton coil.

So why not try a SS Fused clapton?

I`ve never been a TC vaper so I cant compare but there will be vapers on here who do sub ohm on complex coils as well as TC vaping so maybe one of them may chip in. Maybe it`s just a case of finding a build that you can make consistently then small tweaks to improve the flavour, good luck.

I occasionally use Fused claptons for TC in DTL but not that often. Works best if you keep it simple, i.e. I wouldn't get a more complex coil and expect it to work. I make my own though, so can't recommend any.

Thank you both again. I'll keep persevering and hopefully get to a point that I'm happy with.

I get some SS wire and try that too.

It's all part of the fun building the deck and seeing if it's better than the last time. This build is an improvement so maybe the next will be even better

Hmmm, I’m not sure if I agree completely with that. In my search for the perfect mtl vape, I’ve been playing with both a while now. Imho, I think it’s quite dependent on the type of flavor and the vg/pg. I find that there are lots of juices, especially more delicate tobacco juices and some fruity 50/50 juices, that do much better with a simple round wire build. If I’m going for complex dessert juices with a higher vg content, I prefer a fused clapton (and even then it’s difficult to find the temp with the best taste profile). Been using the same 1ohm build for both (stainless steel), and am very happy using round wire most of the time. Although the surface area argument is real and I do notice a difference, I suspect it is more applicable with lower ohm builds.

I am using high VG liquids (70/30) so perhaps I'm expecting too much from a single coil in TC mode. As I said, these liquids with a single fused clapton are fantastic.

My Zeus sub-ohm tank with a 0.2 ohm coil in my Geekvape Aegis produces phenomenal flavour with high VG fruity or custard liquids.

Good idea!!

I just read that VG vapourises at 290C. The Dicodes only goes to 280C. I assume in power mode the coil gets hotter than that as you keep the fire button pressed. Maybe that's why I'm getting muted flavour with 70/30 liquids?
