TC Tank Suggestions

Just went to finally build my 1st TC Coil and realized that the IPV D2 doesn't go higher than .3 ohms. Problem is my Lemo 2 is rated for .5 and higher.

So I need a new tank that is 22 mm as the IPV D2 is small. I prefer single coils as I can build quick and go. My juice is normally 50/50 but I have been experimenting with higher VG.

Any suggestions?

How many watts can you vape with ipvd2? I know there's some new high wattage the tfv4 has a build deck and there are several new tc tanks i saw on ecig avenue and vapor dna i would google tc tanks hopefully someone will advise you that currently has one i think its a 22mm

Ipvd2 goes down to .05 in tc mode and .2 in regular vw

I'm not getting it... You are not limited with TC. You are not using a regular resistance setup.

Put your coil in and set it and see what it limits too. The limit on the lemo is for super high power with really low resistance so to speak. That isn't what TC is.

My ni200 dual coil on my crown reads .177. It temp limits at my set temp of 400. Resistance is .39.

Reread and now I'm really not getting it. What coil did you build? I tried using a SS for an experiment. The 25 worked, but the 50 didn't. Kept reading no liquid. Because the D2 does not read anything over .3 in TC mode as a nickel or Ti coil. It would be like 20 wraps. Sounds like you are trying to build your normal coil and use it for TC. That's no Bueno.

When I looked up the lemo 2, it just suggested not running less than .3. But again, that isn't going to apply to TC coils.

May be that's where I misunderstood. From what I gathered I couldn't run the Lemo below .5 and understood the tc wouldn't fire above .3. After doing some other reading, users have fired the tc at .5 with no problems. So I'm gonna try a .5 ohm and see what I get. I just didn't want to ruin my Lemo 2 as its my go to right now.

did you try it yet??
No I have to do it when I have a little more time. Gonna do .45 and by what I read I should be good. I will post my results once I do it.

The D2 will fire above .3. It will fire to where it needs to fire for temp in TC mode. It will. NOT recognise a coil above .3 as a ni200 or Ti coil and it will not fire it in TC mode. You will get a no liquid error. You have to use ni200 or Ti for coils. It can't be more that point 3. You can only fire your coil in power mode. What your Lemo is rated for has nothing to do with TC.

Excuse my ignorance. So if I wanted to create a TC Coil using Titanium with my Lemo 2 and IPV D2, what ohms would you recommend. I'm getting so confused in this thread

So tell me what kind of coil you are trying to use now.

Do you use Steam engine?

I'm no guru. Was making my own kanthal coils on my mini. But not now. Please forgive me if you know this...

TC mods use ni200 for wire. Some can use Titanium such as our D2. Only a couple can use SSteel. My .177 ni200 coil in my crown begins to have its temp limited when it hits .4 ohm. Everything has a profile. As something gets hotter, it's resistance increases. Probably a trillion thermocouples in the world working on that principle.

You set the max temp you want on your D2. It monitors resistance as you fire it. Begins to cut power when the resistance gets to the corresponding temp. It's a curve. Specific to the material. SS and kanthal are very much different than nickle and Ti. It won't work.

So it sounds like you are talking in terms of standard coils you made before, and now thing you need a different tank for TC. Your D2 and tank are just fine. You need different coils. Nickle generally below .2 or Ti. Both have very very low resistance and will need more wraps even with the low resistance rating.

so if i build a coil using ni200 on an rba deck from a subtank plus a snow wolf 200w will recognize the atty and it will take off from there ??

I have not built one, but most would rather build with titanium. Your mod has to have a profile for Ti, or you can just fake it. The mod doesn't have a clue what is in there. The D2 can only go so far in TC mode. To build a coil more than .3 with nickle, I doubt you could fit it in a RBA. It would be huge.

its simple
if you want one tank that does it all get the tfv4
it has multiple kanthal coil options
2 nickel coil options
a titanium coil option
2 rba options
and soon to be released a SS coil option.

one tank for every need.

Ok, I really don't understand anything that is going on in this thread, but what I do understand is the D2 and TC tanks on top of it so here goes... First off a 25mm atty fits perfectly on top of the D2, it might as well be sitting flush with the sides it's so perfect. My Subtank Plus is my everyday go to.

With my single coil tanks on my D2 I typically use one of 3 builds: 12 wrap spaced tempered 26g Ni 3mm ID, 10 wrap contact 24g Ti 2.5mm ID, or 6 wrap spaced 24g Ti 2.5mm ID.

With the D2, if you have it set in Ti or Ni mode, the D2 will only recognize the coil if it is above .05 and below .3ohms. Therefore, feel free to build your Lemo 2 at any ohms you want as long as they're between those two limits... I have a Lemo 2 on the way and a buddy who uses the Lemo 2 exclusively and he uses it on his D2. He said the build deck is so huge he does some crazy builds on it as well... I've seen one made with 28g tempered Ni where he made a serial build coil... He wrapped 10 wraps around a 2.4mm screwdriver then left a space and wrapped 10 more left a space and wrapped 10 more... using screwdrivers to help he bent the first set and the last set back towards the middle set, what he had was like a pyramid of coils that acts as one coil since they are all connected with no positive post interference...

If you still have any questions feel free to ask away!
