Do you use temperature control?

[Breezy Dawn]

I'd say TC is a great way of using cartos, 'cause god knows, dry hits from cartos are just FOUL -- TC would keep that from ever happening! What I have a hard time imagining is anyone making titanium cartos -- seems somewhat like making one of those old-timey huge-front-wheel bicycles out of titanium.

This sounds like my kangertech tanks and aspire wont work? I dont know what they are made of. guess i better find out.

I dunno; I don't have or use any of that, but most problems if differing brands of stuff don't work well together, is that the top's 510 pin doesn't stick out far enough, or the battery post in the 510 is recessed too far, or possibly pushed down, if it's a fixed 510 connector instead of spring-loaded. If it's pushed down too far, you can often "pop" it back up; those lil tiny blue screwdrivers are admirable tools for that. Or, if the coil's resistance is too low, some (especially older) mods won't fire anything below a certain point, like 1.3 ohms (the lower limit on most older regulated mods).

Always. Drippers and tanks. Only time I don't use temp control is if I am out and about somewhere that I don't want a big mod, then its 50w istick and stainless wire

Nice poll! I use my rDNA40 probably 60% of time, with nickel coils that I do not dry burn in a Derringer (usually, sometimes a Subtank).

To Andrea and Breezy-
These newer subohm coils are kinda like cartomizer, they are built in similar fashion, but are smaller in mass with very large diameter wire. That is why they work so well!

I'm fairly new to TC so it's like this for me currently.

I tootle puff a Kayfun without temperature control on a Cool Fire IV...15 watts, NET tobaccos

I mod whomp a dripper in temperature control on a Reliant...30+ watts, 450°F+-, everything else.

Eight days later and I have been vaping the Kayfun on TC the whole time, it's amazing how much vapor I can get from 8.1 watts @ 460F....love it.

Whatever. I'll certainly never use them, nor be interested in using them.

I never tried a TC mod. Right now, I just can't afford one. But, I'd like to try using one.

Me either, I'm not a fan of anything lower than 28g..too much wasted power to heat it.

26g is perfect for me. 28g is too flimsy

I twist 28g

 

[Vapin Dave]

that's cheating.

 

[f1vefour]

that's cheating.

Well I always used twisted 32g kanthal but since switching over to SS430 I have converted to 28g, spaced single stand in the Kayfun and twisted in the drippers and subtanks.

 

[Vapin Dave]

I really have never done twisted, only prewound clapton wire from Youde.

I find 28ga much too slow to heat up -- I'm a tootle puffer, I never vape any higher than 10w, usually about 9w or so. I've heard all the 'well then turn up the power!' but I dislike a hot vape, and it causes an asthma attack. 29ga is just right; heats quickly, but a bit more substantial than 30ga so it lasts longer and doesn't deform as easily.

Stainless steel isn't quite the same as kanthal, 28g seems to heat about the same speed as 32g kanthal watt for watt.

I'm get quite a good vape with 9 watts on a 0.72 ohm stainless coil in TC.

As always, use what works for you. I definitely don't try to get anyone to change anything about their vape preference.

Once I tried TC (om a Vapor Flask) I could never go back to the dry hits, burned juice taste, and the other nasties I have not missed over the last year! - Not to mention the health advantages of not inhaling all of that overheated juice toxic byproducts.

TC is like a smartphone was in 2010, a lot of people looked at me then and thought "that's unnecessary and just a silly fad" and then look at everyone carrying one now!

Not everyone. I've never owned a mobile phone of any kind. I just got a laptop PC *this year* -- before that it was always big honking desktops.

And TC gives nothing that I can't do for myself.

Never used TC mode. Not planning on it either.

I was the same way, I won one of the better TC devices and love it. But I was perfectly happy with my Cool Fire IV (still am) vaping kanthal. But I like both, TC and standard wattage mode. Would I buy a TC device now that I have used TC, the answer is yes I would.

The Cool Fire IV has the smoothest regulation I have ever experienced, and I have a DNA and previously a ProVari that I was PIF'd and re-pif'd.
