I can only relate my own experiences and they are limited to an Invader Mini running titanium and rayon. I do suspect that there are major differences in how TC works from device to device depending on the chipset and firmware used to control temperature and power. My liquids are not extreme gunkers, but do include EM, caramel, chcocolate and cappuccino. I am experiencing a least a fourfold increase in build life, so far. I'll also be trying a, true, DNA40 chip powered device by early next week and a DNA200 powered device in the very near future. I am hoping, and think, they will perform at least on a par with the Invader Mini.
