I've not had much of a play about with the temp sensing yet, i just slapped together a build when my dna40 clone arrived to see how i got on with the nickel wire. Only issue i had was i snapped the leg off on the first coil i wrapped when clamping it into the ati, the wire is very delicate, second coil went in fine. I didn't bother with playing about with the temp settings yet though. But i really don't see an issue here, it's not like the devices will only run nickel wire, if i find the nickel too much of a faff i only have to turn off temp sensing and i've still got a 40watt regulated mod. I kind of see it as nothing more than an opportunity to try something new and at worst all it's going to cost me is a few quid for a spool of wire i'll never use.

This is the same problem that i have mate. starts and works fine then wants more temp power and flaps about at low watts The calibration relies on a temp sensor in the chip and can go off if you get the mod hot or cold, things like the VaporShark wireless charging, hot car & very cold weather can up set it for a while, but once the mod and atty get to the same (room temp) temp it should be OK. does this only matter at the point of initial calibration? or do different temperatures mess it up throuout the day? cheers for the tip btw

From my point of view, this is progress. It`s just part of the progression of ecigarettes. From dry burning cigalikes to the present day there have been many innovations in design and usage. After lots of use and a steep learning curve, this IS pretty faff free. The nature of the devices mean that we are learning how to use the mods. There isnt really anything out there to tell us how to use the protection efficiently. That is what the threads are about. But when it comes down to it, you dont like the threads, you dont read them along with all the other threads you dont want to take part in, what`s the problem? You dont have to buy them, you dont have to take part or read the threads. They really arent much more to buy than many other similar powered devices. It`s just one more setting on an ecig and it IS progress. The threads and hype about them has been from trying to understand them and LEARN. They are not easy things to understand and we are ALL learning, forgive me and others from trying to help with that, that has been my only motivation with what I have written. Just ignore it, what`s the problem But you have a Chinese designed board that's why.....I have just put my lazy atty on my chinaflask (kanger mega with kanger pre made temp coils) it has just read the coil as .18......im ******* amazed, that's is the a ohms I purchased and as stated on the side of the pack. I'm on my second pack, so done about 7 coils and my vapour shark has never read below .2......... go buy a real vaporshite and suffer some burnt hits like the rest of us..... where did you buy the pre made kanger coils mate?

It's a good video, but long , they talk about it at 0:15:00.

Hello vaping experts
I have a brief question.
Is using TC control still shite, or is it worth a look now?

More of a minefield now there are loads of cheap Chinese mods some are ok, some are rubbish at temp limiting, but IMO none are that great and some have a different idea of how hot 400 F is. I love the DNA40 and DNA200 I have 7 now and have been rock soild, but they are all going to be £100 or more, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

Old thread....
All I use in in tanks nowadays.... after my 3 vaporshites, 2 faulty and last one with a terrible 510 for temp comtrol most thereafter have been solid.
If 40 watts is enough look at the VT40 by hcigar, cheaper the Istick TC.... Think I remember the original Istick was your favourite mod...!
