Hohm wrecker g2

[Paratech]

Exactly, the LE has machined out decorative emblems. The SE has stamped decorative emblems.

The machined out emblems on the LE are grippy.

You can see the grip on the cutouts.

From what I can see on mine, the only difference is the Limited Edition has the symbols painted.
They are both recessed.

I'm in XXX. Maybe I'm not being clear. I was getting a good vape at 310F and it stopped firing. And at 350F and 410F and now at 510F. The G2 is forcing me to raise the temp to get it to work. When I say it stops firing I mean it stops completely. It goes from a really good vape to nothing. It's got a glitch in it some where. I'm going to give it a break and reload the firmware. Plus the RDA is getting hot and the G2 is getting warm.

FSK is at 4%.... I took the RDA off and let both set. Now it's working at 310F again. I may still reload the firmware.

 

[Deucesjack]

Put the fsk up to 11.5 and the temp at 400 and dial it in from there.

Settings wasn't the problem. I didn't have any trouble getting it dialed in the way I wanted it. While it was setting I pulled the batteries and put them back. Now I'm back on my original settings and it's working fine.

Are you using an RDA or a tank? I notice this with my tanks. I'm thinking what's happening with me is during a vape session my cotton is drying out and causing it not to fire. Meaning while I'm chain vaping, the tank isn't wicking fast enough.

 

[CDroverNL]

That's correct. TC works by the mod sensing resistance change in the coil from a room temperature state. When it calculates the coil has reached the temperature you set it varies the power to keep you from going above your set temp.

Temperature controls how hot the vape gets.

Power controls how fast you get there,

Once you find out the temperature you prefer it's the same whether you have a beefy Clapton dual coil or a small regular single coil. As you said temperature is temperature. What changes is the power required to get you there. The more metal mass in your coil(s) the more power you will need to get you to your preferred temperature.

I think I may have it figured out now. Also with this mod, if I set my temp at 350 and want to bump it up to 400 I should drop my fsk down a little bit as well right?

I'm using an RDA...So far this morning it's behaving itself.

You would also adjust the FSK curve to achieve that. In TC watts equals ramp up time temperature determines the heat of your vape. In wattage mode you control both those things with just your wattage. That's the difference between the two.

This is highly dependent on the wattage setting, if too low all the FSK in the world won't matter.

What I've noticed in YouTube reviews and by general posts here is people that can't get the G2 dialed in are using too low wattage. The have better luck using 51% Insane mode because it pumps the wattage. They are used to other devices that limit 'properly' at lower wattages, such as DNA devices. But the people who use 51% Insane mode also use the built in settings for various metals, these presets are wrong though because there's too much ohm variance between devices causing the static FSK presets to be all fucked up.

Moral of the story, use more wattage than you would in standard wattage mode when using temperature control on the G2.

 

[f1vefour]

One more thing, when you set the device down after having TC dialed in only to come back to a device that won't fire, switch it to wattage mode warm the coil then put it back into xXx mode. For some reason this is a workaround, don't know why this happens but I assume it's because small changes to the room temperature throws off the initial FSK reading and warming up the coil a bit lets the FSK curve do its job.

You may still need to adjust the FSK a bit afterwards but no where near as much.

Thanks I'll try that next time. Sounds like Hohmtech needs to think about another firmware update.

It's not uncommon though, running higher wattage somewhat negates this problem.

I have just a G2, but I can't say that I have ever experienced that. I know its been mentioned, but I see a couple of things that may need to be addressed.

1 400-450 deg would be the bottom floor temp to get anything usable vapor wise. I have found this to be true with every TC mod I have used.

2. If you are removing or even of the Atty that you are using becomes even slightly loose, this can and probably is affecting TC for you and that Atty. This causes the device to become our of sync with the Atty. I posted about a loose feeling 510 earlier in the thread. But basically, you need bottom out your atty to ensure it is tight against base of device.

3. Your FSK curve seems off from what you are using. Kathak is is in the 60 range, SS is around 11, I use 15 personally for my builds.

I hope this helps in some way. After all that, it's quite possible that you have a malfunctioning device but I also think a Lot more troubleshooting with base/known setting should be done.

Good luck, there are a lot of knowledgeable folks in here, much more than I in this thread.

Do you live someone that's pretty warm all the time? I just woke up in my room in camp and was froze. My mod wouldn't fire so I bumped the fsk up and it started working. But then it stopped again. I kept bumping the fsk and I'm up to 4 now and it's firing every time. This has only started in the last few days

FSK at 4? What kind of build are you running??

Ambient temp does play a part but the idea is that you set resistance while cold/room temp. From there it's all relative to that point. If nothing else changes...I cant see a cold morning throwing things that far out.

What temp (set and ambient), what build, what FSK. Are you using XXX mode are my questions

I'm at 500F 27.5W 4% just a standard 3mm id kanthal coil in the hurricane. The room temp right now is cold. The ac is under the desk in my room. When I picked up the mod when I got up I could barely hold it. I put it in the bed to warm it up a little so I could just hold onto it

I would try;

Temp 450
FSK 60
XXX mode
45 watts

In the manual, there are gen guidelines for wire type. Adj the FSK in 5-10 increments up down depending. 450 should not be extremely hot, just a mild warmth IMO.

I'm on 2.4.7 firmware if that matters. 60? If I was at 4 but it needed to be at 60 it shouldn't even fire should it?

 

[CDroverNL]

I read somewhere in here that people were running kanthal between 3 and 6 (I could be a little off but I thought it was kn that ballpark

 

[Deucesjack]

Nope, I live in NYC. I agree with infinites #'s. We all have different tastes but with that being said there are certain ranges you should adhere to when using this mod. As it has been said before if you are going to run any mod in TC, even a DNA you really need to be above 400f. Anything under that and you get significantly less vapor production and taste.

That's why I bumped it to 500.

 

[Infinite1]

However, your watts are way too low to be reach 500. Up your wattage to 50 as a test to see what I mean. You can then throttle down or even up to where you are comfy

Great,...now dial down in increments of 10. FSK. Just did a test with a Kathak twisted build...my FSK is at 55.2, 60W 510 deg

One important thing I missed previously is that these are all dependent on Auto + TC being disabled . Sorry for that. But sounds like you are having the exact opposite problem which is progress!

From here, dial down to where it's nice. Hope that helps

Another thing that could really help is of you used the basic Kathak settings (non xxx mode). You should get pretty good results with that.

Basically click the mode button 3 times, choose kanthal. Choose your watts/temp to get a feel for it. Bonus, you will notice that stock settings default at 50℅ FSK . Thats how I learned the baseline. Hope that helps you too buddy!

Glad I'm not the only one to have this. So maybe it's a matter of figuring out which of the conflicting setup opinions works. Some are saying high FSK and others say lower FSK. I just don't get how I can have it working great the way I have it dialed in then all at once it has an issue firing. Unless it's firmware related. I did reload the firmware today. Don't know if it helped but couldn't hurt. So far today it's been fine with my settings.

Yea, I hear what you are saying. I was having the same problem. I fiddled with the settings but can't speak for longevity I had to go to work.

 

[mjag]

If your using the kanthal setting 45 to 55% FSK is a good round about range. In XXX mode I run between 3 to 7% fsk, when it is in the 3% range though I do have to up my fsk if the tank has cooled down. I keep my temp anywere from 450 to 500 and power is usually up there in the 75 or higher range depending on what tank i am using. With the power hungry TFV8 the minimum i have my power at is 100 watts, i have even maxed it out at 171 watts with no ill effects as long as i have my FSK dialed in

Thanks mate, I don't have this issue just have heard it described over and over.

I mostly use SS430 at around an FSK of 13 or less, nothing fancy or complex.

 

[mach1ne]

my base settings in xxx mode have been in the area of 15% fsk, whatever wattage gives my coils 4.2v and about 450f. this works for everything i put on, but certain coils need a bit more wattage to ramp up fast enough, and certain juice seems to like a bit more or less temp. i have used coils ranging from tiny fused claptons to huge cat tracks, aliens, framed staples etc etc (kanthal cores and n80 wrap)...these settings always perform well. im not exactly sure what fsk does. for me it seems to either work or not with not a lot of difference in between. i just went from 15 to 30 to 60 % and took 3 second drags at each setting. i cant really tell a difference in heat/clouds or anything.

Got a blue G2 refurb in today.
Updated just fine using Windows 10.
Went to xxx mode set 13.5% for SS430 turned on the Auto+ TC to 51%
Very nice vape on my Aromamizer Supreme.

It's a big mod (compared to the VT133), very squared off.
Screen is not level.
Battery door is off by 1/16 inch at the top of the mod and really clicky.
Just waiting to hear what can be done for the noisemaker.
I'll live with the crooked screen, as I don't see it as a rule.

For the sale price on the refurb, great mod. Retail price? Not for me.

Make sure you have the batteries pushed in real good. When I first bought mine I thought my door was off a little as well. Turned out the sled was real tight and I wasn't getting the batteries fully seated.

Yeah, funny is I posted the same thing about my screen being a hair off. Noticeable sometimes, other times I don't.

I agree about the batteries being completely pushed in. Additionally it may be the wrap of your batteries.

I have one set of brownies that I wrapped just one wrap of blue masking tape (my labeler needed batts at the time) and those cause the same thing. The clearance is very tight so any extra wrap or a thicker wrap of some batteries may cause that.

Thanks, I seated them really well and no clicks. The floating contact at the bottom of the sled is canted at a jaunty angle, but makes contact.
Hohm Tech suggested cutting the battery ribbon and melting it so it wouldn't unravel. I didn't think that was a good idea, even if it is a refurb.
If it were the wraps, it'd have to go back. I have but 12 batteries and all have been fine in every other device I have.

Enough of the -s, the mod vapes great with my Supreme and my own homemade juice. I'm a picky person when it comes to my juice. It has to be juuust right. So, I make it myself. Actually, I stand and watch my wife mix it. She doesn't vape, but loves that I do.

haha, no I'm in MD. I was out back shooting a 9mm handgun and all the sudden something in brush started rustling around. When I got out there, a doe was sitting there bleeding. I had to finish him off and it still haunts me to this day. The timing of the whole situation could not have been worse. It was on a Sunday (no hunting in MD on a Sunday), the deer was too young to shoot according to MD law and obviously the gun I shot it with (HK P2000) was not permitted for hunting. It could not have been worse and I still get my balls busted by my father in law about it to this day.

Here you go:

"Are the issues with your battery door occurring when batteries are in the device?

If so, this is actually caused by a combination of our battery strap, and thicker wrapped batteries. To solve this issue, you can trim up that battery strap by about 1- 1 1/2 inches and heat it with a flame of some kind very lightly. (The heating just prevents it from fraying at all)"
