Helpppp!! Burnt taste don't know what to use for atomizers

[Nevasummer33]

Hey i have sigelei 150w i just picked up today.. I had a kangertech but the display crapped out. But so for my tank i have a melo2.. And i get a stupid nasty burnt taste... Im thinking maybe my atomizer is bad.. So i have a . 15 and a . 5 but which one would be best for it?also whenever i screw in my tank it says check atomizer... But if i back off a little bit when screwing it works fine.. And that's when i got a nasty taste.. Thanks

Welcome to VU!

What wattage did you run your mod at and did you prime the coil before vaping it the first time?

The tank should be fine with the mod but it sounds like you burned the coil and need to replace it.

When you go to vape on a coil the first time you need to prime it - drip a little juice on it before you fill the tank.

After filling the tank, it does not hurt to hit the tank a few times without firing it to make sure the coil is wet.

Then turn the mod down to the lowest setting it will fire on and turn it up gradually till you it tastes best to you.

Did you prime the coil?

So i have a . 15 and a . 5

According to eleafs web site the 0.5 is a Ti coil and the 0.15 is a Ni coil both should only be used in the proper TC mode not power mode.
The 0.3 ohm coil is used for power mode. Are you using them in TC ? If not it'll never work right with those coils. I'd suggest downloading the manuals for both devices and reading them.

Are you letting it sit for awhile before using, thus allowing the wick material to become fully saturated?

How do i even get my sigelei into tc mode?

And this wasn't a new coil.. I had it on my kangertech before.. And never had that taste

Which 150 is it?

If above you do not.


No clue but this is the temp control one.

 

[Nevasummer33]

It's the one on the bottom

Ok i figured out how to put it in temp control mode... How high should i set my ohm resistance and the temp to? Also how do joules convert to watts?

There are separate TC modes for Ni and Ti set it for the coil you have. You need to lock the COLD resistance for TC to work. I don't have that mod so check the manual for how. Try 420F at 45J for a start and go from there. I love TC but a lot don't, you need to fuss around a bit to get it right for you.
By cold resistance I mean with the coil and mod at room temp. This is very important for TC to work right. Using Joule's I suspect it's the last of the YIHI chip mods from them and you probably hold the + and - buttons at the same time to lock the ohm's but check the manual. Joule's = watts/time. Good luck and have fun.

EDIT: If you tried using ether of those coils in power mode there's a good chance you burned the wicks and they will always have a burnt taste.

For our purposes, joules = watts in TC. You don't set the resistance, however you might have to lock it in with that mod (I don't own it). For TC I'm usually about 420F and 30 watts. That's a good starting point and adjust to taste. Temperature controls how hot the vape will be, joules controls how fast it gets there (ramp-up time).

PS Normally pressing the + and - button locks resistance and you do that while the coil is cold (room temperature). You really should check your manual or download one if you don't have it.

Cheers,
Steve

Not to be a smart ass but...
Keep saying this over and over.......The manual is my best friend and I will read it over and over until I understand my mod and how it works.

 

[SteveS45]

RTFM is what I always say............

 

[Nevasummer33]

Ok i have the fucking manual and it says nothing about appropriate ohm setting so

Try page 05 were it says displaying the resistance. I will admit they could have been more clear.

Your ohm setting should be whatever your coil is. If your coil is a 0.5 coil, then it's 0.5 ohms; if it's 0.15, then 0.15 ohms; etc.

Im sorry for the freak out i was just getting frustrated

Its just people are telling me different things
. The guy i bought the mod from told me to keep it in power mode.. That tc is meant for special tanks or some shit.. Because i have a basic tank nothing too crazy

Then the guy that sold it has no idea what he's doing. TC mode is for certain metal types. If you use Ni (nickel) it's TC mode. If you use Ti (Titanium), it's TC mode.

It's certain wires that have to be used in TC, mainly Ni200 and Ti01 because if they get too hot they can be dangerous. Then you have SS that can be used in power mode or TC.

The ohms (resistance) is just a property of the metal and how much of it. It's the resistance to electricity. It's not something you set, it is what it is. The reason we mentioned having to lock it in is because some mods automatically lock in the the resistance in TC some don't.

The way TC works is you select the wire, the mod has the TCR (temperature coefficient of Resistance) so it calculates the temperature by the coils rise in resistance as it heats up. Different wires have different TCR's. If your mod requires you to lock in resistance in TC then it needs to be done while the coil is at room temperature.

Hope that helps.

Steve

It's not the tank but the type of coil you have the 0.3 ohm coil is for power mode the 0.5 is titanium and the 0.15 is nickel and are TC only coils.
I understand your frustration we've all been there. There is a learning curve with TC and the different types of wire. Not to discourage you from learning TC but
life is much easier with power mode. Nothing to do but set the watts and vape away. Also don't think that because someone works at a B&M they know what there doing. Too much shit out there to know every piece of equipment they sell. At one of the local shops there's a guy who knows about dripping and nothing about tanks. I asked him about a Crown tank and he claimed they didn't sell them and I was looking at one in the display case. When I mentioned it to the manager she
shook her head in amazement and said "I got to do some employee training."

 

[Nevasummer33]

So i should be in joules mode?

Need to switch modes. The 0.15 is Nickel and needs TC mode.

Why? (As posted by TreelineVapor on Reddit)
1) You cannot use nickel on wattage mode for two reasons. First, you run a risk of vaping some very objectionable stuff if you overheat nickel. Temp. control solves that issue, but in voltage control it could theoretically get hot enough to behave inappropriately. Second, nickel does not behave like Kanthal [Kanthal is a commonly used type of wire that is used in power mode]. The resistance rises dramatically when heated, so while you have a room temperature .15 coil, when heated the resistance is significantly higher. You'll get far less vapor than a higher resistance kanthal coil. So you run more risk, and get less reward. Nickel is not a good idea used in this way.

2) In temperature control mode, nickel works very differently. That rising resistance is perfect, since it makes the temperature of the coil easy to measure. A properly-functioning mod will take it up to the set temperature (or the highest temperature for the power setting) and pulse power to hold it there. That gives you consistent vapor output.

For the coil you have yes. I just looked through the manual and it looks like it only supports nickel. The 0.15 coil is the only one you can use dump the 0.5Ti coil it won't work with that mod. That mod is older tech and limited by today's standards. Modern mods support Ni, Ti, SS, Ni-chrome and Kanthal I would suggest getting the 0.3 ohm coil and using power mode.

 

[outwest]

Because of the way Nickel behaves when it heats (resistance goes up instead of staying constant), using it in power mode is why you burned up the wick and are getting a burnt taste.

 

[Angrygod50]

using it in joules mode

Don't you mean using it in power mode is why he burned it up. Not to be a smart ass.

oops! Need more caffeine Fixed. Thanks

 

[Angrygod50]

With the 0.15Ni coil set the mod to Joules mode and the temp to 420F set the Joules to 45 and try it AFTER letting the tank cool to room temp and locking the resistance. (+ & - buttons at the same time) if it doesn't read around 0.15 the coil is still hot. If you want a hotter vape turn the temp up, cooler turn the temp down. If it takes too long to reach temp turn up the Joules if it pulses too much after reaching temp(rattle snake effect) turn the Joules down.

I have to go away but it sounds like you have plenty of good help without me. Good luck and have fun.

 

[BigNasty]

Honestly I gave up fucking around with Nickle, to much fuckery to get a lungful of hell.
Ti. I will not touch, if you think Ni. is fucky when it off gases then Ti. should scare the hell out of you.

Sucks you got stuck with a shoptard telling you the wrong stuff.
Now you can get it dialed in a be content.
