TUBO evic/dual

[Strakinpak]

Ive had the Tubo for some months now and I have to say I'm really happy with it. I bought the capsule stem and mainly use it with the S&B capsules.
Its basically everything I want. Im usually an on demand user but switched to session mode to get more hits. The on demand mode is great, but I have some trouble setting a good temperature for good hits. I usually inhale pretty hard after giving it a few seconds to heat up. Should I crank the temp above 220 so it heats up faster? If so, which is optimal?

hellooo

in 10 minutes there will be a tubo drop, those on the infolist already now about this hehe.

what everyone does not know is that the exotic capsule stems will drop also

check this out! our man @Aezhenn did stunning work here, once again!

there is a limited amount available, some are one offs, but there will be more

I love the look of so many . However my wife has put a block on any more spending .
@Gray Area , I'm half way through the tubo thread and I noticed your from the UK and had asked a few questions that I was interested in , like a legit battery supplier for UK delivery , and also any decent accessories for the tubo that you can buy easily here .
For the battery , I used fogstar as I read about them on another forum, however I've no idea how legit they are .
Cheers

@bluesith I use 18650.uk for batteries (there may be better options, but never had problems with those guys).
My favourites are the 30Q's and HG2's

Accessory wise, tbh I only use my Tubo dry and use a short RBT stem that's for the milanna/splinter (think Vapefiend sell those). I prefer that style of stem over the narrower Tubo short stem. Don't have a wooden stem yet...

 

[beyond6strings]

So I have a question for y'all. I'm new to the Tubo Evic-a dear friend gifted one to me.

I'm a bit stumped. I first tried a Cruising session at 390, my normal temp on regulated devices, and the coil began glowing red and burned the load immediately.

I've gone to using it on-demand set at 350f and things are working better, but I can still char after a few tokes. How can 350f char.

The read out on the menu says the following

TCR 185 M1
350F
PWR 70.0W
COIL .343 LOCKED
TSET 350F

So...

I'm not really a session guy, and I've got a Solo I for that, I'll use this as a regulated on-demand box. And I'll probably get a whip for it too. But I'm wondering what settings I can use to be confident I won't char or combust.

TIA

I'm fairly new myself , but I've been reading a lot on the thread . What number to you have on the inside of the battery door ? It should match one of the settings . If it doesn't you can drop it down by a little . I'll update with a copy and paste once I find the right info . Other than that perhaps just the loading and technique may be off .

 

[SloJimFizz]

@beyond6strings just looking at your settings, I'd say you ohms is set a tad high at .343. My Tubo is locked in at .171. My Splinter is.230, and the Z is .310.
What's the number on the back of the battery cover on yours?

 

[funkyjunky]

COIL .343 LOCKED

this right there is your problem, no tubo has such a high ohmed coil (at least none in the wild). go to 'menu>coils>manage' enter the number inside the battery door into the field after TUBO, lock it and set Check to 'NO'. also quickly go to 'menu>coils>TUBO set' and verify that M1-M3 are 185, entering this menu will save them again, they sometimes are not taken over even tho already set.

no wonder it was gifted to you you should end up with more predictable temperatures.

edit: tuboforce to the rescue! thanks guys

 

[Gray Area]

The coil resistance is written on the inside of the battery door. That should match the locked coil setting you have... tbh 0.343 does seem a little high (mine's .179).
I would check that first.

Too slow

 

[bluesith]

This is a rapid response thread

@beyond6strings post back if you get it sorted .

@bluesith thank you.

So. I had a wonderful session through water with a makeshift whip at 350 with the resistance set at .343. Lovely tasty no combustion. I stirred a couple of times.

I did as @funkyjunky suggested, set the resistance to .262 the number on the battery door, finished the rest of the instructions, set temp to 390 and tried it on-demand. Nada. I tried a half a dozen draws. ThenI tried it on cruise control, nada. Turned the temp up to 400 nada from either. The temp showed reaching those levels, but no vapor.

Went back to original settings, set resistance back to .343, temp to 350 and I had a lovely on-demand session.

Unless I'm at risk of hurting the unit, I would be more than happy using it set up like this. I've already learned the limits of it, so I'm not pushing it into combustion. There are no glowing coils.

I've been 'looking' for an on-demand convection vape I could use through water easily and when I get my 3" whip this weekend the Tubo Evic will fill that need for sure.

You may want to talk to the friend that gifted it to you. I'm guessing they discovered it running cooler and bumped that number up to what you found it at.

It might shed a little light on this and cut down on the guessing and time.

Then again, like the rest of us, start at number on the door and bump it up slowly until it's responding like you'd want and like.

My Tubo didn't get changed, my TX had to be adjusted up so it behaved like the Tubo.

@beyond6strings welcome to the club. The Tubo Evic is a dream in cruise mode (2 clicks) with a water piece. Cruise mode maintains temp and only fires when inhaling. I usually start at 390f and take it to 450f in cruise with a glass stem. The oem whip is ok, but not really necessary. I get good results with a long glass stem.

 

[Support@lamart]

@beyond6strings if it continues to cause you trouble you could clear the data and reinstall the firmware with the latest version. It might not fix it but would at least discount one possible cause.. Feel free to pm me if you take that route!

Capsule stems.. These are all varieties available in the current batch..

Macassar Ebony

Red Amboyna Burl

@Aezhenn made me a custom square tube for this one, which fits when it's being used as a vapcap too..

And Madre Cacao

Thanks again @Aezhenn and @davesmith !!

I take the lid off the capsule when I use it on glass.. The vapors a bit more instant.

 

[cp8]

Sooooo excited!

You guys convinced me and I've just got myself a early Christmas gift, from me to me.

However, I might have gone a bit wild with the custom options... (fancy wood, fancy wooden capsule stem and a tons of adaptors)

This should be a nice upgrade to my old MFLB!

Welcome to the club cp8 . I'm new too. Had mine a week. It's fantastic. So much better in the flesh . It's a potential cure for VAS lol

 

[leveltree]

Great to see you here @beyond6strings, I read and appreciated many of your contributions to the vapcap thread. The tubo and vapcap are a sweet combination in my opinion

Also looking forward to trying the "hybrid" stem with both

Hello dear Tubo community,
Let me first say how awesome everything around this device is, incl the joys i had reading this humongous thread in anticipation of. I'm going to try and explain my situation!
My tubo arrived around two weeks ago and it seems to me ive been getting the "Device too hot" message very often. I usually cant make it through one cruise session, unless drawing really slowly for most of the session. Starting a second cruise session when the first one has just ended is not something this unit can handle (even when swapping batteries). I start around 190C and end around 210-215C, over 300s, but it used to happen with 240s as well).
The coil resistance value on the battery door says 0.306, which is a pretty high number, when reading through here i was more accustomed to reading 0.185 etc, so im wondering if this is a new type of coil being used? im reaching here .
Ive updated to the latest firmware, although i believe it came shipped on this version too. Tried setting coil values to 0.343, they started glowing red instantly, setting them to 0.252 didn't to anything when vaping, so ive put it back to 306. 0.304 and 0.309 did not behave any differently, so it seems to me the values are right... should i max device's output to 50w or wont it make a diff?
Do people take slow long draws, or do you take advantage of the free draw and pull like you would an e-cig, or does it even matter? ive read about people doing 3-5 back to back sessions, so im positive it should be possible!
Is it normal to have to wait 20-40mins between each session and am i being paranoid over nothing?
Please let me know, im curious if im doing something wrong, somewhere, or if there is a possibility my device is acting weird... I think i love it, when it works, any help is appreciated.

 

[sickmanfraud]

Welcome to FC @over_heat I am sorry to hear that you are having a problem with your Tubo.

I suggest that you take the resistance (TUBO) numbers you were using and continue to raise the resistance first by 10 to .315 and keep adjusting by .05 until you realize that it works reasonably well. When you get close to a TUBO/resistance number that produces vapor that you are satisfied with, you can change by only .01 at a time

I have had TUBOs for almost 2 years and I never had a device too hot error.

 

[007mm]

Hi, I got my Tubo X a few weeks ago and I've been using it almost daily since. I love it, the vapor quality is insane and it gets me blasted with just a couple hits. However, I have a problem with the resistance on my unit. I have to change it very frequently to maintain ideal vapor production. The recommended resistance was .173, but I usually have to have it set to .195 to get good vapor production. This isn't too surprising since I have the Tubo X, I expected the resistance to be different than the recommended resistance and that I'd have to find the ideal temp for my mod (eVic Dual). However, it doesn't seem normal to have to change the resistance constantly.

Normally what happens is I start out with the resistance at about .195. I'll do warmup into cruise at 400f which usually doesn't produce any vapor. The air is slightly warm so I know it's working, it's just not warm enough to produce vapor. I'll turn up the resistance until I get ideal vapor production, usually up to about .205, but sometimes as far as .210. This will work perfectly for a session of cruise, but if I leave it that high eventually the coils will start running very hot, to the point where I can see them glow. I've combusted once from this because I wasn't paying attention, but normally I notice it before anything happens. I'll turn the resistance down, usually back to about .195 and again, perfect vapor production for about a session before I risk combustion. Usually it will stabilize at one resistance, typically around .185, but I've had to go as low as .175 before.

I'm really not sure what the problem is or what to do to solve it. I've been browsing this forum for help, but this thread is so long and the search function is really bad (can't search for "Tubo X" because it doesn't allow single letters for searches). I asked about it on Reddit, and Funky suggested that perhaps the problem is with the cord and the 510 connection. I fiddled with it a bit and I think it helped a bit, but the problem persists. I've done a few sessions where I don't even touch the Tubo or the cord to try to control for a poor connection and the problem persists. Another reddit user suggested I mess around with the boost setting in the algorithm menu, but I'm not sure what that would fix. I figured I might as well ask here since this thread seems more active and knowledgeable than the subreddit. I still get such good vapor production that I'm totally willing to mess around with the resistance a few times per sesh, but I would really like to have a more permanent solution.

 

[sickmanfraud]

There are many references to only changing the resistance when the unit is COLD. Part of the problem could be due to changing the resistance when hot.

Another possibility is dirt & oxidation problems with the 510 connection. Take a small amount of iso to clean the threads on mod and TUBOx.

Before you go through the trouble/expense of sending it back I would suggest that you try reinstalling the software on your Dual and if the results are still the same try a different mod to be sure it is a TUBOx problem.

 

[NizzyJones]

No, funkyjunk has clarified that it doesn't matter if the vape is hot when you program the resistence.

hellooo

in 10 minutes there will be a tubo drop, those on the infolist already now about this hehe.

Yass!

On a whim I checked the store page earlier this week, and there were some Tubo Evics available! I've ordered mine and it's in "building". I have to admit I'm pretty excited!

It's going to be poplar with no color, black Evic, long bent mouthpiece and PET whip. Then yesterday I added a medium capsule stem and a short mouthpiece...
