Webinar for being the National Honor Societies coordinator for her school. Yea! Now she can put in 26 hours a day. My coils are SS though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Alien would jump out of TC and revert back to power on occasion but when it stayed in TC it did a pretty ok job of hitting temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many coils are mistaken as SS because the housing is SS and stamped as such, but the actual coil material may be Kanthal, NiChrome, Nickel, SS, or perhaps a blended/woven coil like a Clapton or some of the twisted versions? Even the Kanger coils that I know are Ni200 (blue o-rings) are stamped SS on the body of the coil housing, because that is what it is made of... yet the coils are Nickel.

FXRich Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) Not trying to spam anybody, but this link tells me Smok V12 uses a SS body with Kanthal coils. https://www.e-cigshop.co.uk/smok/tfv12-coils/ Edited October 6, 2017 by FXRich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had looked up the same info directly from Smok... SS body, but no mention of anything other than Kanthal being used as coil material. This would explain why TC is not working when using the V12.

Yeah I went to my local Shop and they don't even carry that mini tank. I may check the regular one I go to near my old house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to use TC with the Subtank mini (or the newer version, Toptank mini), you'll need coils compatible with TC (and make sure your mod is in the correct mode for coil-type used): Ni200 (blue o-ring) 316L SS (Pink o-ring) NiChrome coils (red o-ring) can be used for TC with some mods, which are capable of TCR with NiChrome, but results are spotty or you constantly have to play with it...

You may have trouble finding a Subtank mini, I think they might be discontinued, you probably should be looking for a Toptank mini which is the same tank but fills from the top instead of the bottom.
