This is my first post. First mod. First electronic device for resin beyond a pre-filled cartridge and a pen. I’m a simpleton because #1 I’ve never vaped, dabbed, or anything of the sort really. So take it easy. Hold my hand.
Can someone please help clear up a few things for me?
I got my the following setup 2 days ago:
-Wismec Reuleaux RX gen3
-Sai TAF with the glass mouthpiece
-Ti skillet with the ceramic donut heater
-SS/ceramic 2mm coil
-Titanium/quartz x2 coil
-Kanthal/ceramic 4mm coil
I followed the coil setup table on the Planet of the Vapes Sai guide. It worked right away but then I had some issues. I’m using NI temperature control for the titanium skillet. Usually about 32w and about 400-420F. After a while the mod would “slip” out of temperature controlled mode and go into power mode. Then, I’d have to remove the atomizer, reset the mode on the mod, screw the atomizer back in, and it might work again for a bit. Usually though this behavior would continue...but it’s usable. I contacted Planet of the Vapes and they’re telling me the Ti skillet ceramic donut heater is probably defective so it’s being replaced.
Here’s what I need help on though...
Kinda bummed because I thought all these coils would be awesome...
As far as I can tell the exposed coil type heaters are terrible. Terrible. I’ve tried the 2mm stainless/black_ceramic and the 2x titanium/quartz and I can’t see why they’re a thing at all. Look, they work, they hit well, but there’s no way to clean it without soaking it in ISO...it instantly turns dark orange/brown and a LOT of resin just clings to the sides and bottom the coil itself just dries up first. The only choice is just load more and more never getting a fresh hit or soaking it and losing nearly half your dab to the sides of the bucket every time you use it. Maybe I use tiny dabs....but it’s totally inefficient in my view. What am I missing?
Also can someone please explain preheat? My wismec has a time and power setting. What exactly does this do? Always hold the heater at a certain temp? Do I need to use it? What should my settings be? When does preheat engage? Anytime it’s on?
One more thing. The vents. I see there are four holes in the bottom of the Sai that are for bottom airflow? They don’t seem to do much regardless of which coil I use. Should this be totally closed when I use the Ti skillet? What about the top one? Should it be closed when I use the other coils besides the skillet?
Maybe I should install this Arctic Fox business but it seems even more confusing. I barely know what I’m doing now. Thankfully I didn’t screw up and blast 300w thru these coils when I pulled it out of the box.
enjoy!!!!
