Hey gang, having an issue with my temp control builds. Not sure if it's my mods, or I've lost my building/wicking mojo.
I have 3 different attys on 3 DNA mods: a Hugsvape Lotus on a Paranormal DNA 250C, a Reload S RDA on a Rebel DNA75C, and a Reload X on a Drone DNA250C. All are built with different types of SS316L wire, the RDAs are wicked with rayon the Lotus has cotton. Resistance on each was measured when the coil is cold. I have the temps on each set to 440F, with the watts set appropriately to send right about 4 volts to the coil (used Steam Engine to figure that out). In the past, this would give me a nice warm, flavorful vape. Now, they're weak and minimal flavor. If I switch to Watts mode, and send the same amount of watts to the coil, I get a great vape. But I use temp control to avoid the dreaded dry hits on my squonk rigs.
I tried the Lotus on my old Hohm Slice, and aside from the mod being underpowered for the current build in the Lotus, it's a decent vape, cooler than desired because the Slice maxes out at 101W, but it's there.
I've tried fiddling with the DNA settings in Escribe, even upped the TCR to 110 which is way higher than recommended for SS316L it's still weak.
I've been blowing through rayon like crazy, thinking my wicking is either too tight or too loose.
I've been building for years and I'm at a loss trying to figure this out. If any experienced temp control builders have any similar experiences or tips, I'm all ears. Thanks for the help.
