In TC mode you don't have a wattage option, unless I'm missing something here...don't think so though.
I played with various temps between 350-500 degrees and same with joules, just couldn't get it to perform as desired in any setting, the coil is a tight micro and that could be my problem, I'm hearing TC likes spaced coils...I'll have to give it another shot. For now I went back to my old build and it's perfect for me, nice and warm with thick flavorful vapor, it's gonna be tough to surpass.
Until you get a dry hit. Honestly seems like tc is only useful for rda's. And
So you pick a temp and joules or both? Is this for every device or just the d2? I don't see why they didn't stick with watts. Is there a reason they didn't?
Can't answer that question, not sure why they went in this direction... CRX and some of the others here may be able to shed some light on this subject.
Basically joules (power) is wattage by another name, personally I'd like to see wattage and how many volts I'm getting to the coil...but don't quote me on any of this stuff, I'm still getting educated here.

I am. I haven't done the TI Update. Waiting for next Beta release so only a NI200 build so far.
I do like that after some 20Fills(4.5ml ea.) everything is the same as Tank 1.
The build longevity is definitely the big draw for me, but not if I have to sacrifice flavor or vapor to get it.
If the primary goal of TC is dry hit prevention then I really don't need it, using RTA' s exclusively I never get anywhere near a dry hit...the TC makes total sense for RDA's, but either way, I just don't see how TC is going to improve the flavor/vapor in my case, at the end of the day it's still just power to a coil with a temp limit. The jury is definitely still out for me.

1 joule is the amount of energy required to produce 1 watt for 1 second.
It seems that instead of matching voltage to resistance in order to hit a certain number of watts, TC mode simply controls how much power (amperage) it pulls from the battery to heat the coil.
I'm certainly no electrical engineer, so I don't really understand the whole concept, just the basics. My understanding is one watt for one second will produce the same amount of heat (work) as 2 watts for half a second. In both cases, the total amount of heat produced is one joule.
How this applies when the amount of firing time varies, I have no clue.

Yeah I knew a joule was one watt per second part. So does that mean if we want to vape at 40 watts, put it on 40 j and hit it for one second? Joules is work and just doesn't make sense to me in a mod.
Like I said, I've no idea how it applies since firing duration varies considerably. Sometimes I do 2-second pulls, sometimes 5-6 seconds.
When all else fails, start low and work your way up.

IDK, maybe they bulk ship to a U.S. warehouse then package the orders.

Well, this is on the sx mini running in ti mode. I like 400-450° and around 25-35J.
I run my IPV3 Li at 420f and around 25 joules with a dual coil Ni200 build (.07 ohms) on a Billow V2 with excellent results.

im pretty sure that 1w=1j in these applications. it seems like the way they avoid patent infringement on evolv's temp limiting. if you wanna vape @25w set it to 25j, simple as that.

Not a genius at anything, but do get a basic understanding of most things I become involved in. This is why I will be watching these Kanthal TC mods closely.
Temp is Temp and controlling it has nothing to do with a proper vape changing.
Finding the actual temp your Enjoyable Vape is at is a bit trickier due to progressive ramp up during draw on a conventional mod.
At just what point is that Flavor/Vapor perfect?
The use of NR wires like NI/TI(at this time) allow for a very tight band of control to quickly bring temperature up to YOUR desired sweet spot and keep it from continuing to rise.
It is that same tight control that stops the wick burning issue. Resistance change over time in (x)milliseconds tells the Mod when something is wrong.(Dry Coil) allowing it to react before damage is done.
Programming tells it do display warnings/shunt-stop firing/etc. until triggering specs reach normal(Resistance change slows)
So, If someone says - Just Great it vapes and no dry hits but doesn't deliver - they probably have things running a bit to cool.
Joules/Temp Balance isn't to difficult as long as one understands.
*Temp is your ultimate Goal
Joules is the accelerator to get you there. To many Joules(like Watts) and you over shoot causing one or more of several annoyances.
To little Joules and it is like crawling up hill, taking forever to reach your Goal.
Just my uneducated take on what goes on.

Is kanthal TC a real thing? If so, I'm curious to know how it's supposed to work.
Color me skeptical, I call bullspit.

Not in the traditional sense as we know it. It adjusts the watts down to prevent bursting the cotton wick into flames. Kind of like TC is described to everybody "no dry hits" but it's not working perfectly. I dont think you can actually adjust temp tho.
Also skeptical as to what it actually does.

I'll go check mine now, fingers crossed.
Edit:
Payment received
Processing
Tomorrow is Sat., their Sun - No shipping
Plan on 3-5 days in processing - GB can and does get real slow in this stage.
My concern is which courier they will select for my package last time. All my China orders come HKP or CP except GearBest. Last time it was by Swiss Post.
