Temp control

[Deleted]

Hi aaec can I ask please what are the advantages of temp control ??

Iv just been reading about the egrip temp control mod, it says prolonged coil life, no burnt hits, nickel or titanium coils ???

Does anyone have temp control do you find it better, could you maybe explain it to me please

I have a birthday coming up in a while and will be looking at mods and just wondering the best way to go

Thanks for any help I use Rita rda and rba.
Also it says your juice will last longer

Well @yavape, where to start
What it does I non technical terms is
Once you have found the settings that suit your vaping style
The temp control kicks in when the setting is reached
Meaning it wont let the temp going any higher therefore stopping any burnt hits
Also if nog enough juice gets to the wick it kicks in
So far in about a week of using it, I have definitely found it to be a more consistent vape, and my coils and wick are lasting much longer
I am sure somebody will be along soon explaining it much better

Had it since the end of October and love it, there are pros and cons, but whit practice you get round the cons. For me the bug things are being able to tune the temperature for the sweet spot of your liquid maximising flavour, being able to vape all steel tanks empty with no nasties. And on the DNA40 the pre-heat gives you a smart power boost of up to a second that is never too much but gets your vape to right level almost straight away, instant satisfaction and I now take shorter drags, not slower or faster just shorter as it is all just how I like it. It is another tool/adjustment for you to use to make your life better/easier.

Thats what I was trying to say lol

Not a fan here, nickel wire is too soft and the slightest thing knocks the settings off it's just not stable at all, i think the flavour is better from kanthal also, to get a decent vape from nickel i find i have to set the temp higher than the scorching temperature of cotton anyway.
I do find i get fewer stability issues in drippers than tanks with TC though.
Only advantage i can see is no dry hit but seeing as i've only ever got maybe 2 or 3 dry hits in the time i've been vaping and that's from being forgetful and not dripping often enough i don't really see dry hits as a problem i would much rather risk the rare dry hit than the constant annoyance from the instability of nickel coils.
My main issue is with the nickel wire the TC tech is fine i just don't think nickel is a suitable material for coils it's too flimsy and soft and you can't remedy it by using a thicker gauge wire for a more stable coil because of it's low resistance characteristic.

That being said i wouldn't shy away from buying a TC mod it's just a feature that's there if you want to use it, i just look at mine that way, they're just normal variable wattage mods with a bonus feature i can use if i choose to.
I would say differently if you were paying more for TC but i really don't see TC devices being wildly more expensive than just normal VW devices so it's just a free feature you can turn on or off.
Also you might well be one of the people that gets on with it, there clearly are plenty of people who do, i'm just not one of them personally and if you turn out to not get on with either you haven't lost anything you can still use regular kanthal in variable wattage mode.

But Get Off My Cloud most of your negative issues are about rebuilding with nickel and not temp limiting there is a good selection of nickel coil heads now and the range is only going to get bigger. Personally I like nickel for making coils, but my ADV is not a micro coils cotton wick tank/dripper so YMMV, IMO it's not harder, just different. They are more fragile to re-wick than kanthal but you can easily do so with a little care.

Yep i said my main issues are with the wire not the tech.
I've not tried any of the stock heads thus far i prefer to rebuild i was just sharing my experience with nickel coils is all, i absolutely prefer the flavour from kanthal wire to nickel and to get a vape i like from nickel i need to put the temp higher than the scorching temp of cotton which kind of negates the advantage of not burning wicks.
For me dry hits aren't a huge problem and the faffing about with nickel is far more hassle than the very occasional dry hit from regular kanthal.
The instability issues i've had have mainly been with tanks.
Like i said though i still buy TC mods because from what i can see nobody is charging extra for it above what you would pay for a VW mod of the same type or quality so i just see it as free option i have if i choose to use it.

We are all different Get Off My Cloud, I get the best flavour from nickel (cause of tuning the temp) and don't notice a difference to kanthal, but if you are rebuilding you need to do it a little differently to kanthal, not harder just different, need to spread the heat a bit more, and IMO probs are just cause we learnt with kanthal and get stuck in to that way of doing things.

Should add in relation to the side topic of rebuilding that people are reporting the sub tank nickel coils are very good & consistent, not a sub tank owner it just what I have read posted.

[decoy]

tbh i don't rate tc that much
subtank it do seem to work on but its not going to blow you away(im pretty sure i can get near nuff same results with correct wicking,coil choice and power)
im sorry but i have messed about with el cheapo tc mod and the faff to get a coil with a high nuff resistance with ni200 is more than its worth(prebuilt ones might be diff and so may a dnar 40 but the mod i have is supposed to be good at tc lol)
have rebuilt the occ coils for sub tank with ni200 and yep it works but at 430 ish it dont seem to have the same sorta kick as normal coils(did try with the rba as well but not had any more luck)
at the moe my goblin at .4 ohms knocks the spots of the sub tank in both tc and norm for flavor and vape production to the point i have to think about were to use it,would love to try it in tc dut the deck isnt big nuff

would my next mod have tc, defo will i use it with this sodding ni200 stuff nope but i might have to try this titanium stuff
haven't tried a shop bought subtank ni200 coil yet as nobody near me sells them but at some point ill try one and whos knows i might change my mind

hope that kinda helps

Just want to say thanks to those who've posted in this thread explaining the whole TC thing. It was going right over my head, and stopping me from looking at certain mods that I really liked as I didn't understand it!!

Now I know I can still get those mods if I want to, and just ignore the TC thing!! (Or, if I want to try it out at some point I can )

i wouldn't buy a mod with out some sort of tc as you'll struggle to sell it if you ever want to
its also nice to have and not need than not have and need
and unless your chasing clouds you shouldn't need more than 50 watts till next week when they bring out the next wounder tank

I thought it was just a gimmick at first but after having a play around with the mod and nickel builds i can see what the fuss is about. It is not that it is a better vape but as said it is consistent, same vape on every pull which is a good thing and no dry hits to date, i have vaped my kayfun bone dry twice now and the mod has kicked in.
I am still finding i am picking up and using normal mods and kanthal tanks at the moment especially for out and about but so far it has been fun to play with at home although building coils in nickel is a pain in the ass.

So for my style of vaping - i.e never higher than 9 watts and coils around 1.4 to 1.8 ohms - I'd just assumed TC wasn't something that would impact/help me. Is this wrong?

as yet not really unless you use a really bad tank or run out
but as you try diff tanks or a dripper this will pross change and your craving for power will start lol

hummm theres a thought ill have to try subtank on tc to see what happens on a mouth to lung at a lower wattage and a lot less air
