Temp control

I want to know if anyone has tried this.

Apparently makes the nickel easier to work with......and will only throw the temp sensing off by 10°F.

Yep but I didn't share that guys exuberance. In theory the kanthal should work as a heat sink so give a big surface area. I didn't try a whole load of builds though.

Nickel isn't THAT difficult to use and you can always work it to make it more like kanthal.

So it doesn't improve the flavour like he suggests then?

It didn't for me kreed but as I said I didn't try many builds. Mind you I had to I persevere with nickel to eventually find what worked for me.

just because tc is the new thing that dusnt make all non tc mods obsolete, i would take a normal mod over a tc mod without having to think about it.

Of course there will always be a place anachronistic mods, just not a very big place

well just look at the second hand market everyone is selling there dna30 zeros, black roses, gepettos, champions, puzzle boxes and mellodys

Thanks decoy

I've tried vaping higher power, open airflow, sub ohm coils etc and it's just not for me - am atill happy with my kayfuns

It works a treat with my kayfuns Spacey, just changed the juice to my all day vape blackjack and absinthe and wow it tastes a lot different than in my kanthal kayfun. Can taste a lot ore if that makes sense.

Getting rid of them quick before they have to give them away


I sold a DNA30 cause i didn't want it anymore. I gave away a Semovar V3 because no one wanted to buy it.

Why do we as a so called community have to always have the latest thing ? , are we becoming vaping snobs ? . If a device works then surly it's fit for purpose, and if it ain't broke why fix it. Yes I'm a bit guilty as I've bought FIVE new mods this year, But that's only because I'm sub-oming and my older stuff doesn't Fire low enough, to me that's a good reason and not just trying to keep up.

Not a rant BTW

The flavour difference is all about tuning the temp to suite your liquid. Liquids vary, different flavours may have different sweet spots, high VG needs higher temperature to vaporise and there is personal taste to consider. You may need to have a bigger coil to get the heat spread over enough surface area and get enough vapour at particular temp and watt setting, with 100% PG I can get a very full vape at 380 F, but prefer the flavour at 390F.

You don't have to, I buy a lot less than many these days, but temp limiting is a new thing that actually works differentially to what came before, a more flexible and accurate tool.  Like my DIY tools some time I replace a ToolStation cheapy that did the job if you take extra care with a better quality tool that gives you better results with less effort.  It's very differint form getting the latest mech or box that does higher watts you don't use or has a flash screen, none of these things change the result, temp limiting does.  And is different to always getting the latests atty, that's an expensive hobby for the generally small gains to be had.

It's not snobbishness, rather as vapers we are hobbyists Years ago I was into the Hi-Fi scene like many people, but stopped short of shelling out for gold-plated mains plugs and other 'necessities' that supposedly enhanced the listening experience. It's easy to get caught up in the hype of the Next Big Thing of course. At least with vaping you might end up spending north of £50 for a mod or atty that ends up being at best the same as those you already have, or you may discover something that makes vaping more pleasureable. With me it was rayon and the DNA40. I actually spend far less on hardware than I used to now, being settled on a combination that works for me. Whatever works for you works for you, whether its the shiniest gizmo the web is ranting about, or the trusty old combination that has served you well for ages.

TC is definitely a step forward and I dont think you can call it a fad anymore, more and more mods are getting it now. If you control by temperature over watts then you will get a more consistent vape. If you fire 15 watts into a coil/wick that cant quite get there with it`s wicking performance, the atty will run, but it will run hotter than another coil/wick that is able to wick quickly enough (because the wick is acting like a car radiator) Using the car analogy,if the wicking cant keep up, the coil(engine) is going to overheat slightly depending on how low on coolant you are. If you are using TC then the coil/wick cant burn and will always heat to the temperature you set. It`s about consistency of vape. It also saves a bit of energy from the battery when it is regulating. It makes a big difference to dripping atomisers where the taste can vary a lot as the wick dries out on normal non TC mods. It is fast becoming the norm now that China has clearly got to grips with it.


When it comes down to it, it`s what works for you. There is no right and wrong here, it`s about personal preference

The latest isn't always the greatest, but in this case I have to agree with VapingBad regarding the step forward from predecessors.

I made some tongue in check remarks regarding anachronistic mods but they perform just the same as they did before the latest and greatest were announced, and if that keeps you satisfied then why change. But like davetherayon I find it has vastly improved my vaping experience.

Nearly all the pics I post were taken with a lens made in 1963. It's a pain to focus, is preset so I have to stop it down manually and I have to guess the exposure, but the quality of the image is excellent. it's obsolete and anachronistic and not worth much but I love it. I would never swap it for an autofocus, image stabilised computer designed lump of plastic.  There must be similarities in all hobbies.

Do any of you find that your juice does last longer ???

Thank you once again for all the replies I'm glad I asked now

There are times when you have to use your common sense. How on earth would it be possible to make your juice last longer? Some "think" it does. They probably believe in magic. Power heats wire, wire heats juice, vapour is inhaled.
TC can't alter that. As far as coils and cotton lasting longer - this can only be if you were burning the wick before, which means you were getting it wrong.
I agree that TC is the choice at the price point, there's no difference. And it's perfect for new vapers. Old vapers can use it or not for preference.
A lot of the comment you see around the web is the Emperors new clothes syndrome . Of course it's so much better, I've bought a new mod.

[debra465]

Steady on buggritt. No need to be so scathing.

It was a genuine question, and given that the manufacturer of the mod @yavape is talking about, claims lower juice usage with some interesting numbers etc, it deserved a better answer, rather than a patronising common sense, emperors new clothes blah blah

Was going to join in the thread, as I have lots of questions, having just bought a TC mod, but not sure I'd ask a sensible enough question for some.
