I was playing around today as the title says built a coil for a mechanical that acts like a TC. Here what I did, using a Hadaly atty, a clapton coil 28/36 316L, 2.5mm 1.0 ohm (10 wraps). The device a 20700 BF Boxer. It acts as if it was in a TC mod with the exception of being able to adjust it. Plenty of vapor and flavor with a fully loaded wick and reduces down to no vapor on a dry wick. Yet when wick is dry it won't burn. I know that SS wire can be a little jumpy but is this a fluke, has anyone else tried this.

You're getting about 16 watts to a coil with a massive amount of metal, not really surprised it doesn't get very hot. Take the wick out and dry fire it, bet it doesn't even glow. You will get vapor from heating a very wide area of wick, though.
with the small wire there is hardly no ramp time with the 30amp batteries(Ijoy). That what I was doing (checking ramp time)when I was playing around with the small wire. As was said above it's like a 12 to 15 watt vape and the coils are not getting very hot. It's a smooth cool vape amazingly has really good flavor. It will completely dry the wick back to a original white, much like a TC setup.
Yup, I'd say you are mimicking TC alright. As the SS wire increases in resistance the power delivered diminish simply per physics. Builds over an ohm have a tendency to be a little TC-esk as they tend to ramp pretty quickly and "flatten out" pretty quickly too. I love TC but I use VW with all my toodle vapes. I've got a few old Lemos that are at about an ohm and they give me a real sweet flavored long flat vape that are just wonderful using VW. Having said all that, I haven't tested any of the by letting the wick dry out, so I have no idea if I'm getting any wick protection or not. Probably not.
