    Hi all!!

    First off.... Happy New Year 2016!!!! Stay healthy and prosperous through 2016!!!!

    I have a quick question that I am not too sure. Perhaps someone can help me.

    Can I use my Crown tank's stock SS coils in TC mod in TC mode? Some mods do have SS TC.
    Or for the matter any SS coils that comes with any other tanks?

    Should be able to right??

    I can say YES because I am currently using mine with the SS 0.5 Ohm coils in TC mode on the evic VTC mini and the flavour is great ! Also, I have no more burn taste when the tank is going to empty. I am using it at 250-260 degrees Celcius but I had to set manually the TCR at 105 in M1 memory because the SS used for the crown tank genuine coils are apparently SS 304 (not 316)

    I think, and here I have no first hand--it all boils down to what Axel has said--work out what type of SS the coil is made from--either 304, 316, or maybe some previous type, who knows--I reckon as long as it's one of the former 2 types you are good to try it out--but, like you, Xilver, I have yet to try; I'm too busy to experiment at the moment, but maybe some time.

    It should be 092 for SS316, but on the evic VTC mini, there is direct access to SS316 mode in addition to Ni200 mode and Ti mode (no need for manual adjustment).

    Useful chart.

    I presume =>. means equal to or greater than?
    And, if not applicable to Kanthal, why the value, just a misnomer?
    But, reading what Axel has said, if using a mid like the VTC Mini and one of the wire types that it is usable with, it will 'self adjust'?

    Yep, that's how I read it.
    I don't think so...this is just a table of TCR's for vape wires. Kanthal just happens to have a low TCR and as of yet, cannot be used for Temp Control/Temp Limiting (TC/TL).
    Yes...but I think whether it self-adjusts depends on the mod, itself. You may need to tell it what type of wire is being used and then it will self adjust as long as the TCR for that particular wire type is builit into the TC/TL program. Otherwise, you need to manually set the TCR.

    As I've said before, I can't be arsed with TC/TL...never was able to get a good vape when I tried it with store-bought TC coils...and don't have the time to fiddle with it. I can see the juice level in all my tanks and if I get a dry/burnt hit, it's my fault for not refilling the tank when it showed empty. Some like it & swear by it...but not me.

    I'm inclined to agree with the last part, but I'm going to give it a real go some day, it's just finding the time to put in the effort.

    And thanks for clearing up the mathematical symbolism- for us 'sexygenarians' those things were drilled into us a very long time ago, and years of misbehaviour has addled my brain.

    That's my sticking point...I just don't have the time. Between my g/f, job and this forum (where I spend way toooo much time anyway ;)), there are no hours left in the day! And a man's got to watch some footie as well. :D

    I'm glad to hear that you're giving enough time to your lovely lady, this Forum should be much lower in your priorities these days, but having said that we all appreciate the time you do spend on it, not sure that she does though?

    I've got her vaping...she's been off the stinkies for over 3 weeks!! She's easy...no grief about time on the computer (and I do the same when she's on FB). It works out very well. ;)

    In fact, in the past, I thought that your old Avatar was your girlfriend, until I met her- so, now you've moved on, can I have your old Avatar??

    Sounds like the perfect relationship- shared interest in vaping!
