advice on wattage setting in tc

[the dog]

How high can I set the wattage in temp control on herakle plus with 0.2 nicid coil. I purchased it with tc40 eleaf when I first started vaping now I've got a few different mods and am curious to try but want to make sure its safe

Hey Dog!

I find that the only thing that the wattage helps with is helping get the coil to TEMPERATURE. You want to keep Ni below 600F. When I'm playing with Ni coils, I usually set the wattage between 20-30W, and my temp around 400-450.

If I was going to play, I'd set temp around 400 and start watts around 20-25. Try a few hits. Bump the wattage - when the coil gets to temp, the mod is supposed to back off, so power isn't going to matter much. TC helps me with a CONSISTENT hit, but I have yet to find that I'm going to chuck klowdz on TC (I have other mods/builds/coils for that)

Whether its temperature or wattage the rule is start off low and work you're way up when you get to place that is not you're comfort zone - back off a little at a time. Never go pass temperature rating for NI, TI or SS wire or what ever your using..

As was said previously, tc varies the wattage on the fly to maintain your set temp. It's the beauty of tc. If you look at your mod while firing, you can probably see the wattage changing to maintain the temp. A low wattage would just mean a slower ramp up time, and possibly not being able to maintain/hit the temperature (say a really low ohm build at a really high temp).

My DNA75s just do a 1 sec preheat at max 75watts, and max 55watts to maintain. On a ss316l 1ohm coil at 420F I never see it oscillate above 20watts once it has hit the temp. I just use the TFR tables from the steam engine - Wire wizard - for the dnas (what they use correspond resistance changes to temperature).
