Nice job, but why have the second layer?

You could always use longer button caps?

Means I can have the clear acrylic flush with the face of the box.

The Standoffs and buttons go "through the second layer so that it adds no additional height to the board once its all assembled, then I can epoxy/3M tape the 2nd layer to the box and Acrylic cement the 2 layers together

It comes with a fitted 1.6 ohm coil apparently and a 1.8 ohm spare (I also got a 5 pack of 1.8 ohm , just in case)
On my istick, it allowed me to push to 38W, it's displaying 7.99V and the resistance at 1.68 ohm
but I had a feeling I'm getting a slightly burned taste, so I went down to 30W , 7.09V

I've read on a seller site the specs for the coils are:
1.6ohm (3.3v-5.0v)
1.8ohm (3.3v-6.0v)

That is just the suggested power levels you can use whatever setting you find you like. I personally find it doesn't keep up wicking wise over about 25 watts but if it tastes good to you there isn't a good reason not to vape there.

You could rebuild the coils if you liked but it is trickier than it looks. Plus the wick holes for the nautilus are a bit small to feed juice in at subohm. A nautilus coil normally lasts me about 2 weeks sometimes a bit more sometimes less. I don't find the effort worth it to save a small amount. I do use tanks that are designed to be rebuilt but they are easier to get 'just right'

Sub ohming isn't the be all and end all of vaping. It might seem so because the people that tend to post a lot are hobby vapers and like playing with their setup and often use sub ohm coils (most their own built ones)
 
Got my Ni200 coils for the Crown. Can someone explain the TC functionality to me? I am in TEMP mode on the Sigelei 75w TC and i can adjust the temp, but this does not change the wattage. Now in temp mode you can also switch and adjust the wattage but this does not change the temp. How do the two correlate. If i choose 400F and 40w, what is the difference between 400F and 75w? Just that it will take less time at 400F/75 to actually get to 400F?

Pretty much. The Sigelei really needs to be around 75w 450-470F to get a decent vape for me.

On the DNA200 the Crown Ni200 coils are pulling upto 150w to preheat to 470F

What's new about it?

Apart from another setting (I think) it looks just like the old one!

EDIT:

Just seen a video, it's not a lot different really. Existing users of the SX350J (like me) will probably get these (or most) features with a firmware update as it's the same chip still.

Perfect, thanks. At 480F/70W so far. Feels like it needs a bit more power. Once the resistance is locked do i ever need to 'rescan' it or can it be left?
 
Leave the lock alone until you change the coil or to another tank/dripper with an Ni/Ti coil. Always remember to allow the mod and tank to normalise to room temp for 10-15 mins before locking resistance as well.

Unfortunately the Uwell coils do take a fair bit to get going. I'm nowhere near a PC to check but with 75w I'm sure they will struggle to hit Temp unless you are pulling over 3-4 seconds slowly

2 weeks!? I've been on mine for 2 months, at 10w admittedly but i didn't think they burned out that quickly, i dont even get through a tankfull in 2 weeks.

I'm still struggling to see where sub ohming has the advantage, surely a coil at temp is a coil at temp regardless of wattage?

I vape at least 1 tank a day even mixing it with other tanks. It like has more to do with mls of juice used than time in weeks.

Yeah, time in use and all that, i still smoke analogue at home (unless its raining) and i only vape at work.


I've maybe ran through 20ml in the last month, it'd been improving in terms of vape quality from when i first started (figure its getting bedded in). Guess theres more to these than i thought, i reckoned the wick would need replaced as often as a petrol lighter, which i've rarely had to do more than once a year.

thank you! makes sense
everyhere I've read people say sub ohm provides more flavor (but it also burns more juice)

how much more flavor? - I guess that depends on senses and taste
the extra clound, I don't care about, this setup provides enough for me

I guess I'll just use what I have for some time, I'm very happy with the vaping experince now, and later might experiment with sub ohm - I'l get a tank designed for that

thanks again!

Sub-ohm isnt the be all and end all to getting big flavour and big Cloud. Back in the days when it was low powered VW/VV devices then you needed sub-ohm and a mechanical mod for clouds and flavour.

I've got a 1.2ohm coil in the rebuildable deck of the Uwell Crown at the moment and the clouds are as dense and flavourful if not better than the pre-made 0.5ohm dual coil that needs close to double the power
 
Just ordered an Aromamizer 6ml with the velocity style deck, hopefully this tank will let me get the vape im looking for as so far im getting fed up with bad wicking cool vapes from all my tanks, maybe its temp control, maybe its me, maybe ill go back to kanthal.All I want is flavor and for that I need heat and with temp control and my own builds, I struggle to get both, sometimes I get close enough but it never lasts, like last night I re built my Lemo 2 with a TI coil, was nice and great flavour, not that warm but the flavour was there, this morning, same tank... its cold... ohms are locked so it should be the same vape as last night... maybe its the new wick breaking in.. I dunno, but its frustrating and ruining my enjoyment a little.
 
Think my D2 is on its way out, randomly not firing in tc mode, no errors or warning - give it a tap on the desk and it works again, tc mode appears to not be functioning at all, with titanium build in 100c tastes the same as 300c, not getting the pulsing noise either :(

sure it's not the coils shorting?

soooo...I just got my Aspire Nautilus BVC and Istick 40W and it's great!!
incomparable experience to the ego one mini
the juice it's also better quality (suicide bunny - mother's milk)

It comes with a fitted 1.6 ohm coil aparantly and a 1.8 ohm spare (I also got a 5 pack of 1.8 ohm , just in case)
On my istick, it allowed me to push to 38W, it's displaying 7.99V and the resistance at 1.68 ohm
but I had a feeling I'm getting a slightly burned taste, so I went down to 30W , 7.09V

I've read on a seller site the specs for the coils are:
1.6ohm (3.3v-5.0v)
1.8ohm (3.3v-6.0v)

so, my question is, am I pushing it by going 30W , 7.09V ? should I go lower to mach the specs?

and also, I've been reading about rebuilding the coils on this to sub ohm (I know this is not a rebuildable but there are youtube videos on how to do it)
what's your take on that, is it worth going sub ohm on these? (taste wise, financially I presume it does make sense)
Click to expand...

I think 30w on the Nautilus coils is way too much. In fact i put 30w through once by accident and the coil didn't survive. Put 50w through another time by accident. Didn't taste great. I don't go above 15w, depends on the juice.
