Sweet thanks man this helped me a lotto understand exactly how the tc feature works and yes that's exactly what happened , soon as I fired up temp protection showed up my settings were WAAAYYY OFF at 270°F at like 50w lolI would start at around 420F and somewhere between 25-30 watts and go up or down from there. The temperature setting will control the heat of the vape while the watt setting will control how fast you get there. I don't like an overly hot vape so you will probably end up adjusting up. Better to start lower and adjust up imo. As you raise temperature, you will also normally have to raise wattage to get you to tour desired temp. If your mod is hitting temperature protect or whatever your particular mod calls it immediately, dial back the wattage. If your vape is too hot or burnt, dial back the temperature. Hope that makes sense.
PS I usually set my temp somewhere between 420-470F and my wattage between 25-40 depending on juice, wire gauge, and mood. YMMV
Cheers,
Steve
Totally agree with the above, I build below 0.1 ohms with TC. When I was building with Ni I would shoot for 0.07 to 0.06. So far I only have 26g stainless so most are coming in ~0.2 but 24g is in the next order to get closer to 0.1.
Great explanation @Wingsfan0310
OK I had no idea to shoot for lower resistance but that totally makes sense thanks for the inputIMO, you have defeated the purpose of TC building at such high resistance.
You wanna shoot for .15 - .2 ohms for TC builds.
The whole object of TC is to eliminate the ramp-up time while not getting too hot.
SS works great for this. Forget what you "know" about resistance. It's no longer important
because you are controlling the heat with the temperature adjustment. Ya wanna get hot fast.
Same goes for wattage, your TC adjustment is now your primary heat control.
All the wattage does now is control ramp-up time.
The only time you would build stainless at higher (but still sub-ohm) resistance is if you might be using it on a NON-TC mod.
Start at 30-40 watts (at the build resistance I described) and 440 - 480 degrees F if you want a warm vape.
Adjust from there.
Where did you see this? I can't find it.
And even if he could, doesn't mean he should. (go below .1 ohm) Super sub-ohming adds risk, and little benefit to
a person whose thread title (and common sense) indicate you shouldn't. It's certainly not where ya' start.

I love the battery life it gave me enough time to buy the mod and batteries first and come back to buy the charger later lolLol, drama. Just try to build a 0.065 with 26g stainless.
Not what I was suggesting, just what I used to build to with Ni and to agree with sharks suggestion of forget what you know about suggested resistance with a TC mod because you CAN go very low safely. But again, Ademel is using 26g 316L so 0.2 will be a great spaced 7 wrap 2.5mm coil. Unless he is going to build a 2 wrap, I don't think he will blow himself up with a 0.065 coil any time soon.
You will enjoy that mod Ademel, great performance for cheap. Just got one this week and loving the run time with 3 cells.
