I can give you a reason.
I am not going to use subohm coils (I do not believe inhaling of high volumes of juice is harmless).
So, in its current state TC is useless for me.

Saying subohm when talking about temp control is essentially meaningless.

You can tootle puff a TC device all day, the settings determine the vapor production.

They can perform however you want them to.

I use less juice with my tc controlled tank then my normal ones Alien two are sub ohm two are 1ohm plus so tc doesn't mean more juice vaped well unless you want too I'm sure there's a way.
TC does not increase juice consumption. TC works with subohm builds.
How many wraps on Ni do you have on your 1+ohm build?

I like TC because it allows me to just much less of what I consider a healthier juice.

I haven't retired any of my other stuff though.

I like everything about vaping so its all fun for me but I will say if I had walked into a vape store the first time and been handed a TC mod set up properly thats all I would ever do. 100 bucks up front and once a week stop and buy a bottle of juice and a coil.

Pick up my TC mod and its just a perfect vape every single time. Fill it as needed. Every other week screw in a coil. Doesn't blow through juice like a Nautilus and can be satisfying at a far lower nic level.

Now back to the Sigelei 100 with Mutation.

Is Ni200 the Only Alloy that can be Used with TC?

btw; Ni200 is a grade/purity of nickel; it is not an alloy

Description
Carpenter Nickel 200 alloy is a
commercially pure nickel that exhibits
good corrosion resistance. It is
ferromagnetic and has relatively low
electrical resistivity. This combination
of properties has allowed its use in a
wide variety of applications.

Because the alloy displays good
corrosion resistance, it has been used
in food handling equipment, caustic
solution, and general corrosion-
resistant parts and structures. The
magnetic and mechanical properties
have enabled it to be used in devices
requiring magnetic actuated parts.
The excellent combination of
properties enables Carpenter Nickel
200 alloy to be cold worked by
forming and drawing. It is readily
welded and will retain its properties
at both subzero and elevated
temperatures. Its low electrical
resistivity has allowed its use as
conducting leads and terminals in
electrical and electronic components.

Because of its magnetostrictive
properties(specially significant
length change when magnetized), the
nickels have been used in sonic
devices such as sonar or for controls
in ultrasonic welding.

Carpenter Nickel 200 alloys meets the
requirements of ASTM Specification
B-160.

My Smok VCT uses like a .000000000000002 coil and uses about half the juice at half the nic with half the vapor of a Nautilus. And the juice taste like a brazillion times better.

My Sigelei Elite also uses a .00000000000000000000002 coil and chucks huge cloudz bro and will blow through a full tank in minutes if you let it.

Just a better nic delivery system. I used 5-7 ml of 12mg juice everyday with a Nautilus. With better gear, including TC, I use 7-8 of 0-6mg juice a day.

And more importantly, to me, lower nic juice needs less flavoring and better tanks need less PG. PG and flavorings plus nic are what I consider the great Satans.

Titanium as well, depending on device.

Titanium, like nickel is one of the finite number of elements that exist in the universe.
There are only about a hundred elements, not a thousand.

Meanwhile there are an infinite number of possible alloys.
It is only a matter of time that an alloy will be developed with better suitability than nickel for tc application

Temp control for me is a very cool vape. If you build your own coils then I would say its definitely worth a go. You can set your temperature to 400 degrees and then no matter what you set your wattage at your not going to burn your cotton. and YES, in order to utilize the temp control feature you must wrap your coils with nickel wire. I use Ni200.
Really? I won't burn my cotton even if It can't wick fast enough at 400°? Is 400° below what it takes to actually burn cotton balls?

BTW - I noticed the word "Alloy" used many times in the Description you posted.

Some will define an Metal Alloy to be a Metal Element which is in Solid Solution with other Elements.

MatWeb - The Online Materials Information Resource

But if one wants to refer to Ni200 as a Grade or Purity of the Element Nickel, I'm cool with that.

Maybe I should restate that:
Nickel is an element, not an alloy.
Ni200 refers to nickel:
"Nickel 200 alloy is a
commercially pure nickel"

The designation Ni200 refers to a standard or purity or grade

Oh!.
Very good point.

Nickel Alloy Ni-200, Commercially Pure Nickel, Low Alloy Nickel - Continental Steel & Tube Company
Ni 200 is a 99.6% pure wrought nickel alloy. Sold under the brand names Nickel Alloy Ni-200, Commercially Pure Nickel, and Low Alloy Nickel, Ni 200

So far as I can see Ni-200 refers to commercial grade pure nickel. Technically it can be described as an alloy because it has some measureable impurities, but it is not a deliberately fabricated alloy where you can say how much of what is in it besides the nickel.

Nichrome for example is a deliberate alloy of nickel and chromium.
Ni200 seems to be 99.6% nickel and 0.4% unknown impurities.
