Does a battery set in TC mode need to have the watts dialed in?

[DsyF]

Whenever i set my eleaf istick TC40w in TC mode - The LED display shows the temperature it's set at plus 40w in the top corner.
Do i need to factor in the '40w'... or is the temperature the only thing i should be concerned with?
thanks.

The 40w is what it's firing at to bring you to temperature. It should throttle the wattage down when your coil reaches your set temperature. I don't have experience with this mod in particular, so I may not be 100% correct, and I'm not sure if you're able to manually set the wattage in TC.

Yes as mongo alluded to, the wattage is controlled automatically while in TC mode. Some devices allow you to still set a max watts, while others will simply use whatever is available (all 40W on a 40W device, all 60 in a 60W, etc.) until the set temperature is achieved, and then they will dial down the wattage to maintain that temperature as long as the button remains pressed. The only difference the wattage setting should make in TC mode, when you're able to even change it at all, should be a faster/slower ramp up time before it reaches the temp limit.

Thanks, good to know.

The wattage on the iStick TC40 (much like the Target Mini) is not adjustable in TC mode. They will fire at full power at the start and quickly throttle down.

Some low energy builds might have issues with such a "high power" starting point and might be better used on mods with adjustable wattage in TC mode.
