SUBTANK MINI HELP WITH A TEMP CONTROL MOD?

schlinky said:
No worries.

The idea behind pulsing (for me) was to measure the temp with my tongue, if I felt it getting warm I'd back off for a second, whilst still inhaling, then back on for a second or something, playing it by ear ;)

A TC mod will back off on the power (instead of stopping) automatically for you, it's a seamless experience where the temperature just stays at the right level for good vapour. If you need 20w it'll give you 20w, if things get a bit warm it'll back off to 4w until things cool down.... and so on.

I went for stainless steel wire in the end, bit less accurate but more robust and safer if you accidentally put yourself in wattage mode.

I did what you said and pulsed my mod and it did work for me and did leave it cool.I know now this is the way the Temp Control Mod would work thank you.Have you any suggestions for a good mod to start me off.

Great, at least you can pulse the power till you get a TC mod ;)

Couple of little mods are the:
Evic Mini
Eleaf iStick Pico 75W

Now they do make premade TC coils for your STM, about £2 each. Someone with more experience will have to offer more advice about those. I only build my own coils, it's something you could try too, it's not that hard but a bit fiddly if you're not sure what you're doing.

Here's something to get an idea of what's involved in making your own coils....

Just ordered an innokin coolfire iv tc but was wondering if I can use the subtank mini with the 0.5 and the 1.2 atomizers on temp control or can I only use it with titanium and stainless steel wire?

You need TC coils to work in TC mode. Kanthal (the wire normally used in coils) doesn't change resistance enough as it heats up (that's how TC works, by measuring the resistance change).

I don't know that I fully trust the metal off-gassing of Nickel until some tests are done. My second choice is Titanium but I use Stainless steel for my coils. As far as I know there are TC coils for the STM but like I said, I make my own coils so I'm not the best person to ask on that ;)

Depending on when you bought it there may already be some Ni or Ti coils included when you got the STM.

When you get the mod make sure the mod matches the coil. Ni in nickel mode, Ti in titanium etc.

Thanks again schlinky you are a real help as usual and you are getting me started in a new art of vaping.
