If I use my Alien for TC with the same tank and coil, 320°F will produce the same result. It just will not produce vapor.
Edit: I used the Alien just to prove it will not produce vapor at 320°F and it goes into Temperature protect just like I said.
Probably initial ohm, try increasing the initial ohm. I need more information to give you proper feedback. Are you using 4.0 coil or 1.5? Raise your initial ohm setting to a high value and decrease the value on your TC-SS setting. Let me know. Mine works fine.
Im clueless but you cant figure out how to use TC mode? lol
I'm still surprised anyone's getting anything resembling temp control from an alien. lmao.
I don't care for the heat that high. If the tc were functioning properly it wouldn't matter much if it's at 65w or 100w for 340F (closer to where I prefer it). It just can't handle it, even with tcr set. It's either full heat/power and burns the fuck out of my mouth or it's so piss cold hardly any vapor happens. My istick tc100w did a much better job even without arctic fox on it and my revenger does a good job of regulating temp. There's no pulsing or surging on the revenger, only slight pulsing on the istick. The alien had 2 functions in tc, burning hot or nothing and alternated between the two. Like trying to create a soft light with a rheostat but instead flipping the switch on and off with a 150w bulb. It lacked the capability of maintaining a pleasant happy medium.TC works great on my Aliens as long as you set it properly. 320°F is ridiculous on any MOD I use for TC. When I started using my Aster it defaults to 100W in TC so that I had to be at 360° until I RTFM and adjusted the wattage in TC to what the coils I am using could handle. Now set up properly I am at 460-480°F

Maybe you got lucky and got a decent one. Smok mods around that era don't have the best reputation for working tc. Supposedly they've improved with their more recent mods but it's still not wonderful according to reviewers who've used them. I do like tc when it functions properly, the only real reason I moved away from smok mods. That's why I'm thrilled with the revenger, it's only a mm or two taller but otherwise nearly identical in size, very similar shape and actually does what it says it does. I feel like it's what the alien was supposed to be.I don't have that problem when I use my Aliens in TC. It works like it is supposed to work same vape as my RX200S with the same settings. Doesn't matter what tank I use for TC.
