Alien + Cloud Beast (TC and Battery Questions)

1. Get a battery with a higher mAh value like the LG HG2 or the Samsung 30Q, these both have twice the run time of the ones you have. Both of these are 20 amp CDR so stay under 120 watts with a pair of them.

2. I don't use TC, but I'm sure someone else will be along shortly who does.

Up to 105w you can use 20-amp batteries such as the LG hg2, Samsung 30q, or Sony vtc6. They have double the capacity of your hb's. The Alien has proper balance charging but it's always better and safer to use a good external charger.

The Beast series of tanks don't use ss wire so unfortunately you can't do tc with them. You can use the rba head and build your own ss coils.

Basically TC regulates the temperature of the coil by pulsing on and off the power. It know the temperature because The wires that are used for TC like SS, ni, ti, etc change resistance according to temperature. The mod measures this and can tell what the temperature is.

Just to be clear it doesn't prevent dry hits, just minimise. So if you have your temperature set at 300 degrees it will let the coil and hence the wick get up to 300 degrees. So dry cotton will taste like dry cotton at 300 degrees. However that is far better then dry cotton at even higher temperatures (non-TC)

It's a preference thing really. VV/VW modes just apply the watts/power to the atty constantly and don;t care what's happening. TC regulates on /off on /off and the drier the wick is the more off it will be. As the4 temp gets hot quickly with nothing to slow it down. Hope that explains it.

BTW ni and ti should only be used in TC modes as they have harmful oxides at high temperatures. SS can be used in both modes. So far only the Hohmtech chips Gen2 chips can TC Kanthal and in fact any wire. It doesn't use rsistance to measure temperature but another technology which I do not understand. It's called Electrical Ping.

Personally I like TC with my tanks cause i can just set and forget. But with my Drippers I like to go direct and or VV. I pay a lot more attention and it gives me a hearty vape. Very Floudy. If you have anymore questions just go for it.. especially if I wasn't clear.

Depends on the mod. Most tc mods nowadays simply lower the voltage going to the coil rather than pulsing on and off.

If set up correctly tc will most definitely prevent dry hits. Cotton will start to singe at around 420℉ and unless the temperature is higher than that the cotton will not burn. The vapour production (and thus flavour) will decrease as the cotton dries, eventually tapering off altogether, but you won't get a dry hit.

Thanks Ken,

I was not aware of those points. I was on the right track but i enjoy getting to know the finer details. So just wish to clarify if you dont mind. If I had my Temp set at say 400 and I had no juice left. Will the mod still heat the coil up to 400 but because the cotton is only being singed you don't get a dry hit. Am i on the right track?

The cotton will not singe because 400 degrees is less than 420 degrees.

TC will save you from having to dry burn and re-wick. It will still not taste good if you let it go dry. I enjoy vaping at around 410F sing SS316L.

With most chips the coil will heat up to the temperature set, but as long as it's not higher than the cotton can take you won't get an actual dry hit. Sure, heating up completely dry cotton will give you a slight taste of warmed up cotton which isn't the nicest, but you won't burn the cotton. I believe Yihi chips and possibly some others will stop heating when a dry coil is detected.
