how does TC work

[Foggyroomz]

I see all these TC mods popping up all over the place but how does the system work. If you for instance have the snow wolf 200 and you set your power for 200 but set the temp for 375 ( the universal baking temp lol) does it limit the power of the 200 watts or does it only provide enough power to achieve 375 degrees? Then what mod do you people recommend? I'm usually up on the latest and greatest but didn't follow the TC stuff from the start so I'm trying to understand it better and determine if I want to add one to my arsenal of mods.
Thanks ahead of time for any responses as I'm clueless in the TC realm.

The watts (or joules) are nearly unimportant.
When you hit the firebutton you'r device shots the adjusted power into the coil and reduces it when the temperature is reached.

The higher power is just useful to heat up thicker coils quicker. Once you're at the adjusted temp it doesn't really matter if you're at 40W or 150W.

i read somewhere that TC mods can prevent dry hits. is that true? if so, how exactly is that achieved?

 

[Robert Cromwell]

A coil gets hotter when the wick is dry and the resistance goes up. the CPU detects this and decreases the current thru the coil to maintain the set temperature which is hopefully below the burning point of cotton. You get weak hits when the coil runs dry.

ah that makes sense. thanks man.

i vape at 30-50W or J with kanthal or nickel

i use 0.5ohm with my freemax starre vs 0.15ohm ni200 with my freemax starre

at similar wattage/joules the vape i get from kanthal is warmer, thicker and fluffier
at similar wattages/joules the vape i get from nickel is much cooler, but during the day the tanks feel similarly warm/hot with kanthal being hotter, with a/c both are quite cool with kanthal being warmer, but then again my ni200 coils i vape them at 375 degrees... thats lower than most people on the forums
both i dont get dry hits but if you chain it you might get it with the kanthal but so far i haven't gotten dry hits from either

kanthal the vape will be warmer/hotter/more fluffy/possible dry hits but the coils made now are very very good at wicking
nickel the vape will be cooler/warm/less fluffy/no dry hits ever/can control your vape to be cooler or hotter

with tc: my juice gets used up slower but battery dies faster
with kanthal: my juice gets used faster but battery dies slower


i recommend a cheap mod (to serve as a backup as well) - the ipv4s with silicone sleeve and/or vapor skinz wrap thats going to come out by next monday or wait a little bit and get the cloudmaker sx mod

I have researched different things as far as safety and so on concerning tc vaping and the NI200 wire is unsafe to vape at Temps over 375 degrees due to almost pure nickel composition it will begin leeching into the vapor at that point and becomes very toxic however a coil built with the Titanium grade 1 won't start leeching into the vapor until over 1300 plus degrees so it is probably better that you don't vape NI200 over the temp that you are or it could make you extremely sick

u meant 375 degrees Fahrenheit or Centigrade?

There is a Little Difference between 375C and 375F isn't there.

If you're going to make statements like this, please produce said research/actual information, because you seem to have found some magical information that the VERY well read members of these forums (especially those who use TC and have for quite a while at this point) have missed.

There has been a LOT of digging/discussion, with actual #'s behind it, regarding Ni200 and Ti usage, since TC first came around.
