Has anyone used this RBA?
Particularly interested in whether anyone has made a setup to use TC on this platform and how it is done.

Has anyone used the Smok V12 Prince RBA?
- Thread starter bestkeptsecret
- Start date
I don't have that tank, but TC will work the exact same as kanthal/power mode

My mod has Ti Ni and SS settings that allow TC but there doesn't seem to be pre built coils available to take advantage of it so the best option would seem to be to get the V12 Prince RBA. I've noticed my tanks get hot very quickly after only a couple of puffs and to me it makes sense to control the temps rather than just working with setting the wattage.
IMO TC will not work the same as Power or Wattage Mode unless you consider letting off the fire button manually working like TC Mode.
With TC Mode to work correctly with Premade coils it has to be set for the correct wire that is the core. Lesson learned when I first got into Sub Ohm TC vaping. None of the Guru's were of any help and actually started leading me down the wrong path. Know your coils is all I have to say~!

If Prince with smok coilheads is too hot to vape after 2 hits, TC isnt the fix, unless you want TC
They aren't talking SMOK coil heads they mentioned RBA.................
I wasn't saying that TC mode works the same as power mode, but that building an RBA for TC is done the same as building for power mode. The OP asked how to setup TC in the RBA, and you put a TC build in the same way as a kanthal build. If not, then I don't understand the question.
Here's the OP :

Yes, actually you did, although a TC Coil will work in power mode using TC is a world of its own.
You said TC will work EXACTLY the same as Power Mode and this is WRONG!
I didn't mean for it to be understood that way. I meant it to answer the original question, which was "how do you put a TC build in an RBA". Putting in a TC build works the same way. If that isn't what the OP meant, then their question doesn't make sense to me.
EDIT : I don't know of anyone who thinks two different modes function the same way

I don't care what you meant that is what you said................
My apologies. I thought everyone knew two different modes would function differently. The OP didn't ask how to use TC or if it was different, ONLY how to setup an RBA for TC. That's what my original post says, putting a TC build in an RBA IS the same as kanthal. You wrap a coil and tighten the screws the same way, regardless of wire material.
How are you reading the OP different than I?

No it is not because some Metals that can only be used in TC cannot be used in power mode. Give up already................
Reading the above comments perhaps I haven't explained myself very well. I have an X-Priv mod which has TC ability. I also have two V12 Prince Tanks. None of the 4 standard coils available for those tanks are designed for TC. On that basis, the most cost effective way of playing around with TC in my situation would be (I think) to get the V12 Prince RBA and then use Stainless Steel or Nickel wire in the build?
The reason I like the idea of TC is that I have a tendency to chain vape for 10 minutes or so, so it would seem sensible (to me) to look at using TC to look after my coils in that scenario. From what I've read so far, I'm leaning towards Stainless Steel.

Lol, the OP didn't ask how to use TC, just how to setup the RBA for TC. You wrap a coil and tighten screws the same way, regardless of what wire you're using. I don't understand where we're missing each other here

Good choice! Stainless steel is all I've used for the last year!

Tell me what you do differently when setting up an RBA with SS than you do when setting it up with kanthal. You do that and I'll happily give up
*Not using TC, just setting up the RBA (exactly what the OP asked)

Using a TC mode requires setting it for the correct TC Mode namingly SS or NiChrome or Ti. Use the wrong mode and the result will be the harshest vape you ever experience besides a dry fucking hit.
Apparently all you know about TC Mode is using SS316L or whatever the fuck you think you are talking about. Give it up already and stop quoting me.
-You're the only person in this thread talking about using TC mode.
-Everyone else is talking about building a TC coil for an atomizer.
-The OP never even mentioned TC mode, only if setting up a TC build was different.
It's obvious you're joking, and I just don't get your humor yet since I'm new here. At first I thought you were stoned, then I thought you just weren't reading any of the other posts. Sorry it took me so long to catch on to your joke. I'll step outside and leave the master at his throne

Yes, the OP directly mentioned TC is his first post so go back wherever it is you came from because you are now on my ignore WTFYHTS list and stop fucking quoting me. If you don't like what I have to say then STFU and stop quoting me because if you continue I will respond. You were wrong so swallow your stupid pride and accept you were wrong.
When did I say I didn't like what you have to say? I was quoting you so you would reply, I thought that was the purpose of quoting someone. And I don't know what your keyboard-warrior capital letters mean, but I'll have to Google them later cause I'm done for the night. I'm not mad at you, and I'm sorry I made you mad. I sincerely hope you have a good night!

Meanwhile....back at the ranch...
For TC, SS is a good choice, most ppl use it for that, and I do as well.
You're approach may work for you. I don't know the Prince so I don't know if it's one that when chained, runs hot. As would a lot of RTA's. Or if you're using high wattage tends to run hot. I think it could be more in the way you're vaping that's creating the heat, rather than Prince not keeping up.
If you go with TC you could still have a hot tank unless you run lower temp, which would reduce vapor. And since you already like to chain for 10 mins,.... not sure how that would work for you?
Have you tried other Prince coils? Perhaps one that's rated for higher wattage but run it lower?
With that RBA deck, you would have more options for resistance with or without TC, so perhaps if you went ahead and got it and experimented, you can find your sweet spot. Could be that creating more and denser vapor would keep some chaining to a minimum.
Or just get an RTA that is known to run cool?
You've been using the Prince stock coils and when chain vaping the tank gets hot, and you're thinking the RBA deck and TC mode with SS coils to resolve the heat issue. Right?

More to bring an element of control to the heat. I don't mind it running a little hot but its the not knowing how hot that makes me a little paranoid.
As I say its more about introducing that element of control and If I do hit a temperature that limits the vapour produced, it would serve as a subtle hint to take a breath between puffs.
I've tried the Q4, T10 and X6 coils so far, running them all just below their recommended best range. It might just be a bit of paranoia on my part. At the end of the day what feels hot to the touch isn't necessarily that hot in the scheme of things.
True, and its also something to do, a bit of playing around and learning a bit more while I'm at it can't be a bad thing.
I think I will probably do that too. I will start building myself a little collection of mods and tanks over time.

How TC is going to work is, you'll set the temp to what you want. Which, (we'll Say), is whatever temp gives you the vapor you want. And it will give you that same vapor each time. If the tank runs too hot you'll lower the temp, and it will then give you the same less vapor each time. Adjusting the wattage higher in TC mode will only get you to the temp setting faster, then, if the wattage is set higher than what's needed to achieve/maintain the temp, it will throttle back to only the wattage needed to maintain the temp.
You're on the right track tho, getting a rebuildable. You'll get it dialed in to what you want, and be rid of buying coil heads.
