Think I have a temp fix for the istick 40 underfiring in temp mode, unlock resistance, remove coil while device is on, screw back on and press fire, when prompted say it's a new coil, relock resistance and boom I'm down from 500f to 360f and a far better vape, coil resistance now reads 0.17 from 0.13.

edit: And now an equally annoying bug, once I've 'locked' the coil in at its 'new' reading, it eventually decides it wants to revert back to its original 0.13, WTF ELeaf!! The whole point of locking the coil resistance, is that it doesn't change isn't it??

That's the same as I do on my dna40, Fire the coil for a second, remove the atty, fire a few times so it knows that there's no coil and then screw it back on to get a higher resistances. Like said before, this allows me to get higher temps at lower recorded temperatures, a better vape but it is a false reading.

I think half the problem is actually us, the user... We are so used to a warmer, cloudy vape.. I've not used TC in over three weeks and can't remember the last time I got a dry hit.
 
It's sound enough logic though, for example in my case 0.13 vs 0.16, if my mod is using firing settings for 0.13 when it should be 0.16, when it says it should be firing 40w it's not, it's firing 32.5w, so the vape is weaker then it should be.

I think this istick is going to have to go back, this rignoring resistance lock and doing as it pleases is ruining the vape big time, if I lock it at 0.16 it should stay there, not have to unscrew and tell it that it's a new coil every time it take it out of my pocket as its decided it's 0.12-0.13 instead.
 
IMHO, I think (not having used one) it's working as it should.. I have the Evic VT which will have roughly the same chip in it, with joye and eleaf being sister companies. I have to turn the heat right up to 500ish to get a 400f type vape from the unit, which tends to match what PB has on his temperature graphs.

The thing to try is the dry cotton test, get a long stand on cotton, and dry fire it on RDA.. Turning the temp up a bit each time, and moving the cotton a long. Stop at the temperature where the cotton starts to go brown. Your likely to find that the yihi will be around 400, DNA around 450 and this chip around 500. Of course this is a total guess.

How's Riot getting on with his?
 
Cheers, I'll get some ni200 wire ordered tonight when I order a velocity and test!

It does work by over compensating the temp limit, I just can't get my head around why locking the coil doesn't appear to lock the coil? With the yihi chip I set resistance and that's it until I say otherwise.

The atty locks on my mod does stay locked until it gets unlocked. You are using the manual lock? if it has one..

But it's the same on my dna40 that doesn't have a manual attay lock but an automatic one.

if I preheat the coil (i.e. 0.16), then unscrew and rescrew, select new coil, it thinks the base line is say 0.18 then if I let it go into standy by and the coil cool down, it rethinks that it's a 0.16 and gives a poor vape. The issue can be over come by turning the temperture up a bit, but it makes me laugh when I see youtube reviewers running ni200 at 600. I think 500ish is more than fine as the cotton is never totally dry and that's dependant on how well the chip reads temperture and the atty your using. Certain smaller chamber atties are known for keeping heat in and in gerenal giving a hotter vape even with kanthal.

does anyone know what chip is in the sigelei 75w? it seems like the heard my moans and resign the screen layout... it looks spot on now, shame the mod is a tad tall. lol
 
It's a manual lock, as advised to use in the instructions, I would expect it to cool down and adjust after being in standby if it weren't locked, but with it being locked I have my doubts that its operating correctly. Increasing temp doesn't appear to be helping much now as its still peaking at a fake 40w (~32w), the vape does get warmer but it's got nothing on a clean fire at the right wattage.

I'm going to try a new coil in tonight too, make sure it isnt that causing the problem.
 
Tried vaping since last thur or somit. Lungs still feel like they are bad and lump capacity seems to get worse, maybe cos i vape more than i smoked i dunno. But at the end of the day after vaping through the day i feel like im out of breath sometimes its like when u have gone through a pack of 20 when ur not used to it or somit. Am i vaping a tad too much? I go through about 1.4ml per day or two. Just on and off vape now and again through the day, bit more when watching somit on tv which i do often tho. I try not to over do it tho.

In my non-medical opinion that's just your lung/body clearing itself out after years of smoking. When I used to try and give up smoking via other methods I used to have such a tight chest (in the non-breast way; I'm a bloke!!), and would cough my lungs out.

1.4ml is not a lot, even when I started with the ce4 I could do 1.6-3.2 in a day..
 
What are some legit places that don't sell fakes? The price difference is huge in some stores inc. ebay/amazon.

I'm mainly interested in
- kanger evod vv 1300mah
- kanger protank 3 mini
- 18mg liquid, not sure what brand to go for though... ?
 
I felt quite poo for the first week-10 days of vaping, nausia, bad guts, tiredness amongst other things, battle through it and ended up fine. If I spend a weekend on the Atlantis 2 I can easily work my way through a 30ml bottle in a weekend, subtank mini I'm around 4-6ml a day.

Stick with it anyhow, it's worth it in the end, no longer breathless, no longer smell, no bad breath and the best bit of all...Being able to taste food properly.
 
I can vouch for all of the benefits, 6 weeks in and I'm noticing a difference in my lung capacity.

I suffered with a cough/sore throat for a few days but other than that it's been plain sailing, average day I'll vape about 6ml if I'm off work I can quite easily go through 10ml in my Lemo2 then another couple on a dripper
 
I'm done with this istick 40w, it's either broken or the firmware is gash.

New coil, let it sit, couple of fires, screw off, screw back on, lock atty at 0.16, fine works great, take it out of my pocket 5 mins later it's now magically locked at 0.13 without any input from me and fires weak.

Looks like I'll be waiting on the ipv d2 for a decent smaller tc mod as it uses the same yihi chip my ipv4 has.
 
When i first started vaping i got runny noses , sore throats & coughed with lung hits , i thought it was a PG intolerance because if i vaped 100% VG juices they did not make me cough.Now 8 months on i can vape 80 PG / 20 VG with no issues so my symptoms were just from quitting smoking .

Dibs!! Lol
 
My full size goblin leaks quite a lot onto the 510, also the thread stripped on the fill screw after a week. So now I have to fill it by holding onto the glass real tight and try to fill it from the top :(

Good tank but I wouldn't buy another one.
